Whenever someone goes "what's you favorite mov..." I answer "ROBOCOP!" before they even finish the question.

Everyone should have a reflex- answer for that question.

I think someone reflex answered with Robocop a few weeks back on Come Dine With Me to a similar question.

one single definitive favorite of all time would be The Good The Bad And The Ugly

the other 14 in no order:

Godfather 1+2 (these are two parts of one continuous story, suck it if you don't agree)
Iron Monkey
Duel To The Death
Streetfighter (the Sonny Chiba one)
Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
Point Blank
The Third Man
Bladerunner
Big Lebowsky
Aguirre
Le Samourai
Hardboiled
????? leaving one blank for movies that are inevitable staples but don't come to mind specifically, so integral they're beyond a list, they're just a part of my pop culture consciousness now. could be any of the first 3 indiana jones movies, could be any of the first 3 star wars movies, could be my blue heaven, could be robocop could be happy gilmore or billy madison or tommy boy, etc etc etc

1. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
2. The Godfather
3. The Godfather II
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Taxi Driver
6. Goodfellas
7. Vertigo
8. North by Northwest
9. Die Hard
10. Evil Dead 2
11. Dr. Strangelove
12. The Last Boy Scout
13. Kill Bill vol. 1
14. The Maltese Falcon

If the next list doesn't contain Scarface then this site is no longer Hip-Hop.

2. Blade Runner
3. Barfly
4. Big Lebowski
5. Malcolm X
6. Batman
