I’m a real big fan of all Gus Van Saint flicks
or Richard LInklater
A Clockwork Orange was magnificent because it stayed in my thoughts days after I saw it. IMO, that’s a real effective, and powerful movie. Rarely do movies do this to me.
Artificial Intelligence was another one of these movies, strangely enough, it was based off of a story that Kubrick (A Clockwork orange) though of.
Good Will Hunting
What Dreams may come
Shawshank redemption
Willy Wonka And the Chocolate factory (The good, Gene wilder one)
O brother where art thou
Rocky 1
Saving Private Ryan
300(Im greek, it has to be there)
Forest Gump
Ill stop at 9 due to a inability to choose a 10th favorite out of so many good ones, but most of the movies i listed are just beautiful, philosophical and/or down right inspiring.
