Would it be too cliche' if I say the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?
Also-
Bram Stokers Dracula
Chasing Amy
Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice (the BBC one, not the new one)
Pans Labyrinth- (awesome movie, one of my all time scariest "monsters" is in this movie)
Schindler's List
I could probably name a thousand more "favorites" but then I'd be here all day!
Munkafats just sparked my memory about a great NZ movie, "The World's Fastest Indian" about Burt Munro, the record-setting Indian motorcycle racer.
The DVD release I rented included extra documentary footage from the early 70s.

Purple,
Agreed on Babette's Feast: a truely wonderful film Also, the original "Shall we Dance" was so much better than the American knock off.
To all:
Greatest Western, and I hate westerns: Once Upon a Time in the West with Charles Branson and Claudia Cardinanelli (spelled wrong, again....)
Best comedy: Waiting for Guffman: Guys this film is sooooo funny. I have watched no less than thirty times. It takes place in the Midwest in a fictional town named "Blaine, Missouri." This is no joke: the town square looks just like the one in Mt Vernon: the county seat of our county: Lawrence. And, it is SO Midwest. It has one curse word in it, no nudity, etc.
Best film EVER: Gone with the Wind
Best horror film: don't know and don't care.....don't watch this stuff...
Best family film: the "Anne of Green Gables" series. We have watched them till we know the dialoge.
