What is your favorite movie and why?

Tough because Im a movie snob.

The new Dawn of the Dead is one I never get tired of.

I think my fav is really considered a miniseries.The Stand. I love end of the world scenerios.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth (with David Bowie-just don't look at his crotch area).  Was the first movie I ever received as a gift (from my grandma) and I still have the original VHS tape.  Can't play it, but its in my memory box!

The Shawshank Redemption. I don't know why but it was the first movie I could watch over and over without being bored by it.

I've never been able to answer this question.  Court Jester (<3 Danny Kaye), Funny Face, Hackers, Labyrinth, who knows...

 And for the record, it's impossible to watch Labyrinth and not look at Bowie's crotch.  It's an entire movie about his pants practically.

  Court Jester (<3 Danny Kaye)

I love this movie! My brother and I watched it all the time when we were kids. Danny Kaye was awesome.

The Big Lebowski! That movie always puts me in a good mood. I love Jeff Bridges.

Tough question - back in day I used to work at Blockbuster. So I have seen my share of movies. I think my fav movie is a League of their Own. No reason why, I just like it.

The Crow is my favorite movie. It a morbid love story but so beautiful. Couple were murdered, man comes back "alive" to avenge his fiance and himself, shows the little girl his fiance took under her wing some things, and then is gone again. I also grew up reading The Crow comics so I'm kind of obsessed. 

There is also a quote my SO and I use for our relationship from the movie: "If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

I love romance and horror movies so i would have to say The Notebook, and The Nightmare on Elm Street series.

The Wizard of Oz.

Moulin Rouge... for the music, the costumes (I have a degree in costume design), the cinematography, and the epic romance.

Finding Neverland. The soundtrack alone just melts my heart, and I love the whimsy mixed with reality contrast. A lot of people say its boring, but I watch maybe 2 movies a year and like one maybe every 3 years, so if I like it I'll stick by it! I'm a sucker for more historical movies with classical soundtracks. 

I love Finding Neverland. It is IMO one of Jonny Deeps best,that and the movie The Secret Window. Finding Neverland can put me in tears everytime.

Yay!! The Crow is my equal favourite movie. My other favourite is The Princess Bride. It just depends if I'm more in the mood for light or a dark story line.
