My Favorite Movies-Part 1

Definition of Greatest: Of outstanding significance or importance.
Definition of Favorite: One that is trusted, indulged, or preferred above all others.

Every movie fan has their list of all-time favorite movies. While some of these movies might be considered one of the best, many will never find their name on an All-time Greatest list. As the definition says above, favorite movies are: ones that are trusted, indulged, or preferred above all others. I too have a list of my favorites and I am admittedly biased when it comes to these movies.

The Godfather & The Godfather Part II are clearly the greatest movies of all time. However, if you were to ask me what my favorite movie is, Almost Famous (Untitled-The Director’s Cut) will be my answer every time. This is the movie that I have viewed more often then any other in my collection. It’s become a trusted friend. Whenever I’m having a bad day, I can always count on Almost Famous to help lift my mood.

So I’d love to see your favorite movie list. Feel free to post responses and proudly display the movies that you truly love (even if they aren’t what scholars consider classics).
