My most favourite movie changes from time to time: few years ago it was Avengers: Infinity War, now it's Kung fu Panda for some reason.

Off the top of my head, Blues Brothers was awesome.

"As I, a humble internet browser who frequents the forum of the well known internet tech YouTuber 'Linus Tech Tips', named after host Linus Sebastian, have trouble understanding the intent of the authors' post, I find solace in the fact, that I am indeed not alone in my confusion. While I stumble through the comments above, I am reminded of a quote which helps me to cut through ambiguous and unnecessary verbiage. The simple eloquence of the phrase often uttered on internet forums leaves any reading it in no doubt as to the true intent of the wording. I believe that I, and indeed all of us can take a lesson from the message left by it:"

I like way too many movies 🤪

I'll just go by decade.

 

1960s : Irma la Douce

1970s : Monty Python's Life of Brian, but Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is sooo close

1980s : The Breakfast Club 

1990s : The Big Lebowski (Starship Troopers gets an honorable mention*)

2000s : 11:14

2010s : Deadpool

 

*Because I will never forget what a movie critic on a local TV station said about it: "If you want a popcorn movie, go watch it. It's beautiful people in a beautiful war." and it was! 😉

 

TGIF, I think I'm going to have a movie night.

Great list (though I never saw 11:14, but I'll have a look)

 

Though, Starship Troopers is WAY more than a popcorn movie, it's a huge commentary on the military industrial complex and is extremely satirical, it's worth watching while keeping that in mind (or can be enjoyed as a ridiculous action-packed popcorn movie, but I would argue you'll miss a lot by doing that), I would put it before The Big Lebowski 😉

Thank you!

 

It was very hard to make the list😉.

For the 80s my brain was going: "The Breakfast Club or Footloose, The Breakfast Club or Footloose, The Breakfast Club or Footloose, ..." and then some says ...

...uff

I kinda excluded Blues Brothers and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (for the 70s) because they are musical-ish. I had to make some sacrifices in order to come to a decision.

 

The 90s were difficult as well, Tremors, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, Se7en, The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys,...

 

In the end it was not only the movie itself that influenced my decision, but the personal experience surrounding the movie (places watched, who I watched with, condition I was in while watching😜 [note: NEVER watch The Core sober while surrounded by geologists!] )

 

As for 11:14: The first time I saw it was at a film festival. Didn't know what to expect and was blow away. Afterwards the director and some of the cast were on stage... just amazing.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here,

it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

 

There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
