I don't think I can even name 100 movies, let alone rank 100 of them.

My favourite movie is Hancock. It's a cookie cutter superhero movie but somehow hits me in my emotional weak point.

But there are a lot of movies that I can do repeat watches of. I can't rank them but I can list a few. I've seen the below at least 3 times individually.

Rocky (first 4)
Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2
22 Jump Street
Harry Potter (all)
Rush Hour 1 & 2

 

[JohannaK]

As much as I usually think of 1962's Seppuku as my favourite movie of all time, The Godfather is the movie that made me fall in love with cinema irrevocably. By the same directors, Kwaidan and Apocalypse Now make my tops, and Kubrick comes with basically his full filmography, with 2OOI: A SPACE ODYSSEY at the helm. Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Ran, Paris Nous Appartient, L'Année Dernier à Marienbad, Malick's The New World, and so many others. I couldn't really put them in order. It necessarily depends on the day.

 

[EgonSpengler]

[BenitoChavez]

Serenity - My all time favorite. RIP Firefly, you died too young.
The Usual Suspects - A solid crime drama until that ending, on my goodness that ending
LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring - I probably watched this a hundred times when it came out on DVD. Not exaggerating
LOTR: The Two Towers - See above. I love the opening sequence with Gandalf and the Balrog
The Shawshank Redemption - One of the few non-action, non-comedy movies on my list. That's how good it is
Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country - My favorite of the original Treks. I love General Chang
Edge of Tomorrow - My favorite Tom Cruise movie.
Gone Girl - Phenomenal acting all around but Rosamund Pike really stood out
The Princess Bride - The most quotable movie in existence
Gladiator - A solid revenge story that is beautifully shot with beautiful music.
Star Trek (2009) - I don't care about the timeline nonsense, it was fun and the characters were true to form
Mission Impossible 4 - I remember being blown away by some of the sequences when watching this in the theaters
Burn After Reading - The Coen brothers make some weird movies but this one was quirky in the right way
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World - One of the most creative and entertaining movies I've seen
Rogue One - The only good Star Wars movie
The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger was phenomenal
American Beauty - Not giving a you know what must feel great until your emotionally repressed neighbor shoots you in the back of the head
Pan's Labyrinth - Only non english movie I've liked. Horrifying in a good way
Ace Ventura Pet Detective - Jim Carrey at his apex
Kung Fu Panda - Legend tells of a legendary warrior, whose Kung Fu skills were the stuff of legend

 

[Valka D'Ur]

The African Queen
The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars
Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Wrath of Khan

The Shawshank Redemption
Gladiator - A solid revenge story that is beautifully shot with beautiful music.

Quotes because I'm too lazy to retype all those. They're among my favorites, too... with the exception of Gladiator. I like the music. I'm pleased that Derek Jacobi was in it. Those are the only good things about it. As a historical drama, they blew it.

First on my list is Contact.

 

[EgonSpengler]

Wrath of Khan
Bull Durham

Edge of Tomorrow - My favorite Tom Cruise movie.
Rogue One - The only good Star Wars movie
The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger was phenomenal

I'll have to think about adding all of these to my list.

Contact.

I should definitely add Contact to my list. It's one of the most re-watchable movies, for me. I think I watch it every couple of years.

I think I should also add The Commitments.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I should definitely add Contact to my list. It's one of the most re-watchable movies, for me. I think I watch it every couple of years.

Contact came out not too long after my grandmother died. One of the things I did to help get through that period of my life was spend a lot of time in the theatre, watching that movie. I saw it 5 times that summer, and have seen it probably another 5-10 times on TV.

 

[EgonSpengler]

I like Marvel movies like The Avengers, Thor, Deadpool and Doctor Strange. More on action movies than other genres.

I'm a big fan of the Captain America movies. I almost put Iron Man on my "favorites" list above, but I couldn't quite pull the trigger.

 

[Vahnstad]

Manchester by the Sea
Gattaca
Fruitvale Station
A History of Violence
Castaway on the Moon
In Bruges

some of the great movies i've seen lately.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I couldn't name a hundred, and ranking is too hard. But here's a few favorites:

Armageddon
Highlander
The Sixth Sense
The Blind Side
Silent Running

 

[Gori the Grey]

Babette's Feast

 

[Kyriakos]

I don't like many movies, but i liked:

Spider (2002 iirc, starring Ralph Fiennes)
Carnival of Souls (1960's horror, with a cerebral theme)
Blackcoat's daughter (recent horror film)
It Follows (same)
The Babadook (same)

 

[Serutan]

I couldn't name a hundred, and ranking is too hard. But here's a few favorites:
...
Silent Running

Ah yes. Huey, Duey, and Luey.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Ah yes. Huey, Duey, and Luey.

Indeed.

 

[warpus]

Best action movie ever made - Terminator 2

Other than this I have no other favourites, my interests constantly move around all over the place, so I couldn't land on any other definite favourites. Terminator 2 is definitely a movie I could watch over and over and over though. It's the perfect action movie.

 

[shadowplay]

In no special order:

Dr. Strangelove
This is Spinal Tap
The Big Lebowski
One Flew Over the ****oo's Nest
Once Upon a Time in America (the director's cut, NOT the abridged version that was originally released in cinemas)
Fantasia

If I'm being generous I'll throw in Forrest Gump and Shawshank Redemption.

 

[Smellincoffee]

Top four off the top of my head: The Philadelphia Story, Groundhog Day, West Side Story, and The Sandlot.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Blade Runner
The Empire Strikes Back
Drive
The Place Promised in our Early Days
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
Amelie
In The Mood For Love
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
A Clockwork Orange
Arrival

Not in any particular order, lots of praise and quibbles with all, but I guess that'd be my top ten right now.
