Do you have a favorite movie?
 
Just curious, I was thinking about it today and I have several "favorite" movies but if someone put a gun to my head and made me choose one, it wouldn't take much hesitation to say "The Breakfast Club", from the very first minute to the very last it's a solid movie that, excuse the studio marketing term, defined a generation. Not only did it resonate with so many people, it has withstood the test of time, how can you go wrong with lines like, "Hey, homeboy, what do you say we close that door, we'll get the prom queen impregnated.". :lr

So if you know what your #1 is let's hear it.

I'd probably have to say "Miller's Crossing". IMNSHO it's the Coen Bros best film, has flawless performances, the best Tommy Gun scene ever (bonus for Albert Finney restarting his cigar at the end of the scene), some genuinely laugh out loud moments, a complex but accessible plot, some shocking twists and turns, and features some gorgeous cinematography.
The first time I saw it I found it a bit cold and dour. It wasn't until subsequent viewings that I appreciated it fully.
And I know some consider it heresy to say this, but it's as good if not better a gangster film than "The Godfather".

Second place would probably go to "Patton".

Actually in my top 5, as a matter of fact I think that's what I'll watch tonight, can always use a laugh. :tu

Don't laugh, but it's Sixteen Candles to me it has everything:

Comedy
Action
Adventure
Suspense
Drama

+ it has the classic line "What the hell are you *****ing about? I have sleep under a guy named after a duck's dork"

I like Good Will Hunting on the serious side, the Star Wars series for sci fi and I always go back to Christmas Vacation every year to make the season right.

I know I'm not following the OPs request, but I can't seem to choose between these three: The Breakfast Club, Drum Line and The Shawshank Redemption.
