OK, everybody...what's your *real* favorite movie?

[OriginalGeek]

48. I was 13 when I saw Star Wars in the theater

and it changed how I watched movies forever. It was not long after my parents divorced and it was my dad's weekend to have my brothers and me and he took us to see this movie none of us had even heard of.

Before SW, movies were just long TV shows that I either had to endure because my parents took me to one of their movies or they were just kid's movies and I was really in it for the pop-corn.

But STAR WARS...goddamn...that was the very first time in my life I remember being transported to a new universe. Space ships and lasers and monsters and heroes and villians oh my! I had enjoyed being told stories before that - True Grit, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, etc...but Star Wars the first time I was IN the story.


So Star Wars will always be my sentimental favorite number one. But that doesn't mean I don't have a list of movies that I dig just about as much.

Glengarry Glen Ross
Pulp Fiction
Fargo
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pretty much all of the Marvel superhero movies.
Many of the classics (especially detective movies in the Maltese Falcon vein)

Movies are not my life but my life would be less fun without movies
