For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Bernie. Simple as.
12 monkeys and Se7en… Probably because I was more impressionable as a teenager though
Different movies at different times in my life. The one that comes to mind currently is About Time (2013). Lovely film.
Yay, another person that likes that movie. I feel like there aren’t enough of us.
My wife made me watch it one day, and I’ve lost count of how many times we have seen it since.

I was having a hard time anyway, but after reading through all the comments, I don’t think I could narrow it down.
If I had to try, it would be, in no particular order:
The Matrix
Princess Bride
Fight Club
Shawshank Redemption
The Boondock Saints
The Incredibles
…
Actually, I can’t narrow it down…lol
Probably The Matrix. To me it’s a bible, in the sense that it has everything
The Hunt for Red October
Give me a ping Vasily. One ping only pleash.
I must have watched this movie 20 times. Def in my top 5. Still haven’t read the book though.
The book is very good as well! Additionally, for me anyway, it doesn’t spark the internal struggle of, “The book/movie was better!”.
Be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don’t react too well to bullets.
Be careful what I shoot at?!
If you love THFRO what do you think about Das Boot?
Just finished it. I’d heard about it, and many people recommend it when red October is mentioned (and vice versa). I’m not sure I’d put them in the same genre.
I’m not sure what I think at the moment. It was very long, but had some very intense scenes. I think it was trying to get me to feel deeply for the characters (especially the captain) but it didn’t really reach me (spoiler) Eg The people jumping off the burning ship.
I’m also not sure yet what to think about the fact that (spoiler) the whole movie takes place on the submarine, with no cut aways. I think on one hand it added to the tension of surface ships trying to find them, but on the other hand it was difficult to orient the story without visuals for location or relative locations.
I feel the length was included to show how boring it can be waiting for orders or enemies, but a shorter cut might’ve been more engaging.
It’s not a movie I’d go and rewatch in a hurry (if ever). Red October has much more rewatchability.
Lawrence of Arabia - for all-time classics
Aliens - for sci Fi
Evil Dead - for horror
Life of Brian - for comedy
It’s impossible to pick a single film across all genres and even then, it was painful to leave out a movie like Pacific Rim, or Young Frankenstein.
Hard to choose one, so I’ll list two: Live and Become, Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi.
The ending of Live and Become gives me chills and chokes me up to this day. SUCH a powerful movie!
Snatch had the best performances (IMO) of all of those actors. One of the best movies of all time.
Lost in translation
Terminator 2
The Blues Brothers. It has action, comedy, cameos, and some of the best music in any film. I will never tire of watching it.
Drive, it’s a movie where the cinematography told more of a story than the dialogue between the characters. The dialogue does matter, sure, but we’re shown the story as opposed to being told the story.
If you need proof, the first scene is one of the best vehicle chases ever. Plus, the elevator scene gives me chills every time.
Same here, Snatch. Gotta hate them f*cking pickies
