Simple question. What is your favourite movie ever? Is there a film you have seen many times over or even could recite word for word???
Terminator 2: Judgement Day*
Closely followed by The Matrix
*Have watched it at least 70 times over in my life, re-bought it more times than any other movie too. VHS, VHS Director's Cut, DVD, DVD Director's Cut, Region 1 Blu-Ray, Region 2 Blu-Ray director's cut, and would buy it again in a nutshell (super high def or blu-ray with more extras etc) that therefore makes it my favourite.

No question.
I love the dark city, I love the Vangelis music, I fall in love with Sean Young everytime I watch it and I love the story.
I watch a few films over and over, but nothing on the scale of this.
It's a test designed to provoke an emotional response..
An absolute classic. So many funny lines, I can watch it over and over again.
Ditto- even though its a bit of a cliche to name this film as yr fav. Hasnt been beaten yet IMO.....
Though the amount of movies i have watched is pretty limited.
poltergeist
indiana jones and the temple of doom
dogs in space
donnie darko
tale of two sisters
nochnoj dozor
This, word for word.
...and what?
But before it's release it was firmly Edward Scissorhands
Absolute Class. Brilliant acting , fantastic directing , thought provoking story . Love it
Also love The Commitments, Little Miss Sunshine and Drop Dead Fred though...
I love it too.
Love it to bits
I also love Breakfast at Tiffany's just because Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard are so beautiful it's mesmerising, although I prefer the short story.
Action film wise - Speed is always exciting, no matter how mnay times I watch it, and Keanu and Sandra Bullock have sparky chemistry, which gives it an extra something over other action films. I know it's slightly cheesy and the plot is the simplest plot you can come up with, but I always enjoy watch it.
I loved JFK, and thought it was a truly important film, then I researched into it, and discovered that most of it was made up by Oliver Stone. Shame, because it was a brilliant film.
Jack Nicholson is a GOD.
My standard (cliched) response...'it's a movie'. At least it provoked you to expand your understanding of the subject.
Obviously it's a controversial film....but also I think somewhat misunderstood. The story's told from very much from the POV of Jim Garrison who was himself a highly controversial figure. Of course Oliver Stone has an agenda...he portrays Garrison as something a hero...and predictably he tries far too hard to tie it all in with his pet obsession - the Vietnam war. It's certainly conspiracy theory propaganda....but then it is, after all, the story of a leading conspiracy theorist.
For all that, as you write, a very skilful piece of cinema and a very influential film in a number of ways.
