Depends on the Genere. I can't pick one single movie over all others.

Comedy-Airplane
Drama-Heat

Heat was great

I grew up in Southern California and Michael Mann captured the "feel" of SoCal in that movie. And the shootout at the bank was incredible.

[urustyone]

Avatar or Gran Torino

Jaws

 

[calcot7]

Behind the Green Mile

 

[mrjarrell]

Serenity and probably The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai:Across the 8th Dimension

 

[Boilers]

Taken as a whole, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is hard to beat for sheer production. Sure, the storyline of pure fantasy may not appeal to all, but the delivered movies likely has more work put into it than any five other works.

However it is not my favorite movie.

All Time Box Office Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation

Single movie looks like GWTW has to be it.

 

[Benny]

Western: Outlaw Josie Wales (and it ain't close)

Comedy: The Big Lebowski (and my only one movie to take to a deserted island movie)

Drama: Shawshank

Mafia: Godfather 1 and 2 are tied with an honorable mention to Goodfellas

Action: Also too tough to name one. Hard Boiled, Die Hard 1, Total Recall, Gladiator, Kill Bill Volume 1, Predator, Bourne Identity. Robo Cop, andTerminator 2 all come to mind.

War: Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket.

Samurai: The Shogun Assassin.

The "don't know how to classify movie: Fight Club.

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

Mine is Apocalypse now with a close second being Seven Samurai I think it's called .

 

[longbarrel]

Little Big Man and/or Forrest Gump

 

[Old Salt]

Ben Hur

 

[Joe Williams]

Serenity
Lord of the Rings

 

[Sasquatchhunter]

The Untouchables

Life Aquatic with Steve Ziissou

 

[FordMan08]

Western: Unforgiven

Comedy: Animal House

Action/Drama/Comedy: Secondhand Lions

Classic: Wizard of Oz....yep, if its on, im watching it.

 

[Benny]

What about "best movie around Christmas?"

I have two:

Die Hard (I don't know why, but I always watch it)

A Christmas Story (yeah, I know I'm crazy, no one watches the 24 hour marathon. ........................................ )




BTW...IMO Serenity was a huge letdown; the show was soooooo much better.
