Blade Runner, 'Nuff Said.
There are loads of movies I love, but I keep coming back to Blade Runner as my favourite movie. Initially, I was sold on the visuals (still am tbh), then the music (made me a fan of Vangelis to this day) and finally the story. It's so layered. Every time I watch the movie I seem to discover something new.
Big Lebowski! The Duuuuude! Also, honourable mention to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Clint Eastwood, My God. People shouldn't be THAT cool.
Blade Runner. Probably the most important movie in the history of Science Fiction. Visually it's arguably unmatched, even now and has a storyline that's way beyond most. Holds up wonderfully and the HD releases look incredible.
And that Vangelis soundtrack... Ooof.
Blade 1998:
Enjoyed the movie when I first saw it about 10 years ago, second one was alright, wasn't a fan of the last one.

I've got to say that I really love the first (of the recent generation) Iron Man film. Between the improvised dialogue adding a natural touch and the top notch special effects it really is a fantastic film all around.
The Annabelle Story
Shawshank
Snatch
The Dark Knight
'Y tu mama tambien' was a really good movie that I doubt many people here will have seen, highly recommend it.
It's been the Final Cut of Blade Runner for a while. I have a few films I really, really like, such as The Beast of War, but the Final Cut (or Director's) of Blade Runner is definitely my favourite ever film.

Groundhog Day.
Every time I watch this, I gain more respect for the people involved. Let me give you an example. When I watched it recently, I picked up a particular line that Phil (Bill Murray) says later on in the movie - "Winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of spring".
Well, that's probably a poem, right? Google is my friend, and lo and behold, it's a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem "Work without hope". At this point in the movie, Phil has studied several lifetime's worth of art and culture. He's as educated as a man can be, probably read everything in the town library one hundred times over. He's not just making a clever quote about winter and spring, but articulating where he is in his own personal development.
So, a few months back I'd seen a great TED talk by Mike Rowe where he explains something about Greek tragedy and the meaning of peripeteia. Thanks to that, I can now see that this one line of poetry reveals that moment in the film. It's gone from being a throw-away scene to a pivotal moment in the story. Boom. Mind blown.
Seriously, I believe this is one of the best written, best acted films I can think of. And it has a car chase, and Bill F-ing Murray. 11/10 would watch again and again and again ...
