Wow, that's quite a list! My all-time favorite film is probably Blade Runner (1982) with Harrison Ford. I would rank the first Alien movie (1979) with Sigourney Weaver next and the sequel, Aliens (1986) third. For comedies my favorite films are Young Frankenstein and Monty Python And The Holy Grail. I also really like The Blues Brothers.

 

[Polishprince]

Apparently you never saw classic films like Barfly, Cobra, Death Wish 3, Super Fly, else they would be on the list.

There are great films in that top 100 list. Many I've seen a few times, such as Citizen Kane, but to refer to any as a favorite of mine, I'll go with ones I've watched and enjoyed quite a number of times.
Off the top of my head, I narrowed it down to a baker's dozen that I recall watching way more frequently, but for sure I'm forgetting twice as many.

My top two favorites,
#1 The Caine Mutiny (1954, Fred MacMurray and Bogart were fantastic!)
#2 Impact (1949)
...and in no particular order...
Intruder in the Dust (1949, liked much better than To Kill a Mockingbird)
The Sting (1973)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Lilies of the Field (1963)
Angels in the Outfield (1951, the original with Paul Douglas)
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Ruggles of Red Gap (1935)
Patterns (1956)
The Producers (1967)
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
Odds Against Tomorrow (1959)

I actually loved all the Death Wish films. I have seen just so many movies. Death wish would probably be 101

 

[JOSweetHeart]

My top two favorites,
Angels in the Outfield (1951, the original with Paul Douglas)

I never knew that there was another film by this name. The one released in 1994 is one of my many childhood favorites. I got it for my 13th birthday the following year.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. That film is just one of the many favorites that I have, but I honestly don't know if I can list as many as 100 especially if I can't remember every film, because I do have a lot of favorites.

"Streets of Fire: Rock and Roll Fable"

"To kill a mocking bird"

Then I will read.

The MLB team in the original Angels in the Outfield was the Pittsburgh Pirates. My eldest kid turned 42 earlier this week. The remake was one of a number of videos I rented and watched with my 2 sons when they were young.

Of all those films I sat through with the kids, the one that really stuck with me was The Sandlot. Loved it, brought back a lot of childhood memories. Just haven't watched it again to justify calling it a favorite.
And now that we're on baseball films....

one of my favorites that I forgot about yesterday: Field of Dreams.

Young Frankenstein is always a funny film to watch "What Knockers!"

Nicholson was always one of my favorite actors. I enjoyed many of his movies, but "The Shining" was by far my favorite.

Little Big League may be my favorite baseball film. Did you ever see that one?

The Natural is another Baseball film I always loved as a kid.

 

[Failzero]

I want to include “ The Longest Day “ and “ Platoon” and as far as music movies “ “ Amadeus “ and “ Spinal Tap “

I always thought Platoon was a good movie too. Also depressing to watch. The movie showed for me how truly awful war can be.

Little Big League may be my favorite baseball film. Did you ever see that one?

Checking out the film's description I can't remember treating the kids to that one. Have seen the 1951 film Rhubarb in which a cat inherits a baseball team.

That brings to mind The Deer Hunter which caused that depressed reaction with me.
