Agree with many of the listed already, up voted many.

Personally, there is one that is just so personally beautiful and have watched many times : stranger than fiction. Can't explain why, I just know I LOVE it.

My favorite movie (The Big Lebowski) has already been mentioned so here are some movies ive really enjoyed:

There Will Be Blood

Project Hail Mary

Love and Monsters

Downsizing (Matt Damon)

O Brother Where Art Thou

Three Amigos

The Orphanage (Del Toro)

Rosemary's Baby (disclaimer: This is a Roman Polanski film, and if you're unwilling to separate art from the artist, feel free to skip it and more power to you)

Shaun of the Dead

Dr Strangelove

North by Northwest

I don't deal in absolutes, but one move I watched recently that I really enjoyed was Predator: Badlands (2025).

Like a Verhoeven move from the 80s, Predator sneaks in genuine and interesting themes into an ostensibly crappy sci-fi movie. The Thia character is good feminism that reminds me of Lewis in Robocop (1987). That is to say she's powerful without being coded masculine. And her relationship with Dax is as a partner and eventually a mirror. Dax's character arc can be summed up as overcoming toxic masculinity. Just delightful, I watched it twice in two days.

The Korean version of hellboy was pretty good if you're in the mood for a mindfucking.

3 Days of The Condor.

It's a 70's paranoid thriller with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway, just an awesome film.

Wolfwalkers

Not the favorite, but quite good I've watched recently:

• Time Trap (2014);
• The Man From Earth (2007);
• Judge Dredd (2012) -- surprisingly good and has little in common with the original.

Also some movies that left a trace:

• Education of Frederick Fitzell;
• Reincarnation (2018, horror);
• Weapons (2025, horror);
• Two, Three, Demon, Come (horror). (Yes, I love good horrors).

We know it’s more than just favorite movie but that’s the best we can do Anne thought it was funny +wanted to share lol.

Safety Last (1923) starring Harold Lloyd. I think it's one of the funniest movies ever. Seen it dozens of times.

https://youtu.be/mBNKUda-s6M This is probably the best movie mankind has ever created.

Synecdoche, New York or Lost in Translation

House of Flying Daggers is one of the most phenomenally made story’s of love, surprise, action, heartache, and betrayal ever made.
