Fav = Goodfellas
Best? No clue. I love movies and could sit here for days trying to decide which one is best.

I did much care for the ending but the movie made me a Joe Mantegna fan for life. Plus, for a while, everybody at the track knew the phrase, "She's stuck and she's steaming."

Did I see anybody listing Godfather 1 and 2 yet? "Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
I usually watch A Clockwork Orange a couple of times a year. Malcolm McDowell put himself in the position of hitting a peak he'd never hit again.
Almost anything Clint Eastwood is good. Dirty Harry (Do you feel lucky punk?"), Unforgiven ("Deserve's got nothing to do with it") and on and on.
While the movie "Conan the Barbarian" is on nobody's top list, the sound track by Basil Poledouris is fantastic.
Casablanca and the Maltese Falcon.
Joel Cairo: You always have a very smooth explanation ready.
Sam Spade: What do you want me to do, learn to stutter?
I'll go with The Godfather 1&2 on top, Clockwork Orange next, then Unforgiven

Best: Seven Samurai (breathtaking from beginning to end--the ending fight scene is great movie-making)
Favorite: Wizard of Oz (I still cry at the end after all these years)

IMHO opinion I haven't seen a "dog" mentioned on anybody's list. This is what good film making is supposed to do. Make you feel something so you want to feel it again.
That's a reason why pornographic movies are such a hit.  Oh, no. I did not go there. God, I need a life.

The Pope of Greenwich Village is a good movie but an outstanding novel (Vincent Patrick).The movie softened Mickey Rourke's character-he was more self-centered in the book - but Eric Roberts was on the money as perennial loser Paulie "Why not tip toll booth attendents, Charlie?That job's a prison sentence breathing those fumes all day"
