After responding to Dave Lackey's thread about the 70th anniversary of 'Casablanca" I thought it might be interesting to find out RFF member's all time favorite movies.
I'll start :
1. Casablanca
2. Lawrence of Arabia

Measured by the number of views, 'Sideways' and 'Annie Hall' could be considered my faves.

I have no absolute favourite, but would include Goodfellas, Inglorious Basterds and Lawrence of Arabia. By number of views probably Star Wars or LOTR, as watch those with the kids.
