    See, here's the thing- you can list several favorites, providing that you select the 1 among them that is at the top of the list.

    My top 10 would be:

    1. Taxi Driver
    2. McCabe and Mrs. Miller
    3. The Graduate
    4. Vertigo
    5. Midnight Cowboy
    6. 2001 a Space Odyssey
    7. Apocalyse Now
    8. JFK
    9. Nashville
    10. Lost in America

    But #1 is Taxi Driver

    Pulp Fiction. Back then movie theaters just didn't care about IDs, so seeing it at 16 with some boarding school classmates on long weekend - basically day students and anyone who lived too far away to go home - I thought it was kind of cool, and completely different from anything I'd seen up to that point.

    The graduating class ahead us of had something from that movie as their class song. Honestly I was always a little annoyed when teenagers liked animated movies - especially when we ended up watching them on slow school days - but in retrospect I can appreciate the work that Disney put into those '90s soundtracks. Not sure they need to be Broadway musicals, though.

    They screened that at the Houston room on the second floor of the University Center at U of H; and the line - all students, went for two floors, out the UC and across University Drive, back to beyond the University Hilton. Those free screenings were fun and pretty raucous, especially for goofy stuff like Wild Things, Cruel Intentions or Half Baked. Gattaca was pretty quiet, though.

    The Big Lebowski

    I could watch that movie over and over again, and I have. I know there are better "movies" out there like Godfather Part II, Fight Club, The Empire Strikes Back, Pulp Fiction or Tombstone... but TBL is freaking epic on so many levels.

    Mark it Dude.

    Back when I was a kid, there wasn't such a thing as Computer Graphics in Movies (1963). But this guy name Ray Harryhausen made movies integrating stop action figures and masking to produce some masterpieces of fantasy and science fiction: Mighty Joe Young, Lost World, One Million years B.C. etc. but the one you should look up and watch is Jason and the Argonauts.

    Then there is:
    Raising Arizona
    The Jerk
    Big Lebowski

    But my #1 is:

    The best movie ever made is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

    However, the topic is favorite movie, and that's a bit different. So, I'm going to have to go with Bloodsport.

    I loved this movie. The title is Freddy Got Fingered though.
