Oh so many, and yet so few to call really, really favourite...let's see, no ranking though
Star Wars (Original trilogy of course) - All time classics, if you don't like these movies I don't know what to say to you (maybe "Hello, are you serious"?)
Lord of the Rings trilogy - Have or will become all-time-classics. Just the best fantasy-movies out there. costumes, sets, action, actors, everythings fits perfectly. And who cares about some changes as long as Tom Bombadil (damn hippies!) is also kept out?
Dawn of the Dead (Remake) - I only like Romero's first, the others are totally overrated with their social criticism feeling more ridiculous and forced than important. And the remake is simply a superior movie in all aspects...
The Untouchables (Kevin Costner) - Every time the movie is on telly I usually watch it. I love the era, the way people dressed, the atmosphere etc. And the movie is just great, so many great scenes (DeNiro with a baseball-bat??? Whohoo!)
Spaceballs - What can I say, the best Star Wars parody ever made, too many scenes to quote, Dark Helmet rules! Though sometimes I feel I am surrounded by assholes...
Naked Gun trilogy - Simply hilarious, non-stop-laughing guarantee, nothing more to say...
Knights of the coconut + Life of Brian - see above, though now british anarchy and black humour. Classics, Ever-quotable, the latter a thorn in the side of over-religious people missing humour and the point? Wonderful movies
Batman ('89) - The perfect Batman movie to date. Sorry Nolanites, but Burton nailed it much better as he embraced the insanity that is the Batman-Universe. Realistic Batman doesn't work, and Jack Nicholson killing gothic Gotham with smilex to prince-music? THAT'S AWESOME!
Pacific Rim - A more recent entry to my list but ... sometimes I just put that blue ray in after work and enjoy Jaegers smashing cities and Kaiju. I don't get it why this movie wasn't more successfull in US or why people think Godzilla 2014 was better, I mean WTF???
Aliens + Alien - Damn, what great movies, the first to give me true nightmares as a kid. Aliens even better than the original, but that's debatable for some of course. Still, it never got better with Sci-Fi horror than that!
Avengers (1) - see Pacific Rim. I just love this movie. It's not a single second dragging or boring. If nothing is smashed we have wonderful party-banter. Just overall fun, and I love how the team fights together in the final action-montage, always gives me goosebumbs
Master and Commander - Another underrated movie. very close to real "age of sail"-combat, and always a joy to watch
Willow - Until Lotr came out the only really good and decent classic fantasy movie. Produced by George Lucas by all means! He should have made sequels to this, maybe it would have kept him in shape and the prequel-disaster could have been avoided?
Indiana Jones trilogy (!) - Speaking of Lucas, no list complete without these. Adventure, fun, never boring, classics in every thing
Conan the Barbarian (Arnie of course) - I love "low fantasy", and this is as good as it ever got on the silver-screen. Arnie is cool, he fights Darth Vader, and the soundtrack is AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!!!! Even the shitty reboot would have been at least decent with that OST ...
The Big Lebowski - No matter how often I see that movie, it never gets old. Just funny, witty, timeless, hilarious, and sad, but never a "world of pain" A white russian on that!!
Dark City - That movie is just ... strange and cool to me. I love the somewhat surreal atmosphere, and that final showdown, though a bit too short, still kicks ass!
And probably so many more that don't come to my mind now ...
