How is it that nobody has mentioned Charade?
Or is it just me?

My oh my, Fred got some of my faves in his list. I'd add, in no particular order, Sorcerer an amazing adaptation of a novel with a brilliant soundtrack, Blade Runner again a magnificent adaptation and a mind-blowing soundtrack, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre which is a classic "descent into madness"(see Sorcerer), Pink Floyd's The Wall which is truly disturbing to sensitive psyches, Dr. Strangelove, and Mel Brooks' hilarious Young Frankenstein. Honorary kudos go to The Blues Brothers, Back to the Future III, and Tron.

Casablanca stands alone.

I 'hate' all these "favorite" questions -- much too limiting. One relatively unknown movie I found that had a lot of subtle and indirect messages of merit was mostly panned by the "experts": The Gods Must be Crazy. It's sequel was OK, but not so full of social commentary.

I can't really comment on favourite movies as I don't go to the cinema. However, it is worth analysing the term 'expert'.

EX = has been

I wouldn’t like to have to choose a favourite, but Withnail & I is worth a mention.

Split decision between "The third man" and "Kind hearts and coronets."

G'day.. Too many to mention here ...I'm a movie nutcase ...don't know where to start but one I haven't watched for ages and forgot how good it was is

Independence Day (1996) , not the second one in 2013
Will Smith , Randy Quaid , Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman , Judd Hirsch, Mary McDonnell and more...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t1IK_9apWs

Bill Pullman's inspirational speech before the attack on the aliens , Russell Casse as he knows he's going to die .. "Payback's a ***** .ain't it ? and "Hello boys ...I'm back " Will Smith... "NO , you aint spreading that green s..t on me " .. So good .. Too bad the second one many years later basically sucked .. Last night on TV was "Hard Day'sNight " The Beatles.. Great to see again and so much legendary music too... Cheers ..

One of the movies I never get tired of is "It's A Wonderful Life"
with Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and a marvelous cast of other fine actors :D

But the second was, nevertheless, enjoyable. With movie franchises there may be a big drop in quality between the first and the second.

Some of my favourite movies

Marathon Man - brilliant performances by Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier and Roy Schneider.
Bladerunner - brilliant visuals and as I’m am a big fan of Vangelis the soundtrack is sublime.
A Clockwork Orange
The French Connection
The first two Superman movies
The original Star Wars trilogy
Castaway - even though they were entirely different films I liked both Castaway with Tom Hanks and Castaway with Oliver Reed.
Get Carter - The original version with Michael Caine was the best. I didn’t like the remake with Sly Stallone.
Roger Moore James Bond movies.
The Omen
The Meaning of Life
Time Bandits
An American Werewolf in London
Silence of the Lambs
Mona Lisa
The Long Good Friday
