For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Almost Famous
The Third Man (1949) if I had to pick just one. It is cinematic poetry from start to end.
While i haven‘t seen a lot of movies in my life, mine would be schindler‘s list. Just a masterpiece.
My favourite is Withnail and I. I haven't seen Snatch in quite some time though. I will watch it now, I think
Moulin Rouge. Captures a lot of the cinematography you see in Snatch, and it's a musical. Great story, great writing, and great performances curtain to curtain.
Blood Diner, because it's actually about a trans man who helps his dead uncle become his living aunt. It's easy to lose track of the fact that this is a movie about two transitions in the chaos of the ancient blood cult, vegan diner that serves human meat, wrestling with Jimmy Hitler, and all that, but it's all in there. Blood Diner was decades ahead of its time. I watch it a few times a year. Watch it as a double feature with Frankenhooker and pretend they're modern experimental indie movies. Frankenhooker is a feminist masterpiece.
It's really hard to say to be honest, so I'm going to go based on the movie I watch the most frequently (and I can back that up with 4ish years of media server stats!), so with a total of 49 views during that time:
Scary Movie. Absolutely hilarious, just about every scene makes me cackle. Scary Movie 2 is also a frequent watch (along with 3 on occasion, 4 and 5 if I'm baked out of my gourd), but that first movie is a pure classic.
Also honourable mention to my 19-views-in-the-same-time-period entry: A Haunted House, also by Marlon Wayans. Fucking hilarious, and has a decent enough sequel too.
