Citizen Kane by Orson Welles. By far the best film ever made and is still is being voted at the top for so many decades. Path breaking in technique and style. The film unfolds in a form that was never tried before. The dinning table sequence between Kane and his wife is an excellent example of the brilliant use of the american montage theory. For a layman it is an engrossing film and to the cinema students it is a film that is a source material for studying film craft.

hard to choose, but I'll go for
"The King & I"
a musical by Rogers & Hammerstein
starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr
made in Hollywood
It is just such a fairy tale, beautiful sets, and wonderful music & lyrics, as is usual, from R&H ...I especially like the little play, 'The Small House of Uncle Thomas' .... and all the gongs and exotic sounds.... Yul Brynner is very deft, sexy, and mysterious at the same time and Deborah Kerr his perfect partner, a lady, a bit of a prig, and so cool!
.... I especially love the songs, "A Puzzlement", and also
"Hello, Young Lovers" ...the recitative that comes just before the latter song, goes like this: (forgive me if I invent some of the words)...
When I think of Tom
I think about a night
When the earth smelled of summer
and the stars were shining bright
The soft mist of England was sleeping on a hill
I remember this, and I always will
There are new lovers now on the same silent hill
Looking on the same blue sea
And I know Tom and I are a part of them all...
And they're all a part of Tom .....& me!
It gives me shivvers ..
you can go home happy
....with the sure understanding that this sort of thing can happen, shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance (bah bum bum bum!)!!!
good night!

Pan's Labyrinth - I think the story line in just great and I love the end, the last task is sacrifice and one more thing, it isn't for 3 year olds to understand which makes it a magical and wonderful film.

"The Stand" Why? Because it's a realistic view of the end of the world (with a nasty twist, of course), and it's the greatest adaptation of a novel of the Greatest Author Ever!

The Shawshank Redemption.
I know of no other film that takes you through every emotion possible - from joy to sadness to anger to relief to happiness to comedy. You will laugh, you will cry, you will smile, you will shout. You WILL have a lump in your throat at times.
And the ending just lifts you to the most amazing high imaginable.
Absolutely incredible film...

Back to the Future!
Because it's generally amazing
All 3 parts were awesome unlike most films where only the 1st one was good.
Because EVERYONE loves it!

Spaceballs hands down. No movie has made me laugh so much before or since. There are a ton of one liners that if you say them, people know exactly what you are talking about.
May the schwartz be with you!

Citizen Kane.
I know people feel it is vastly overrated, and there are some flaws in it (one can only imagine what the Magnificent Ambersons would have been like if Orson had cut it himself), but it is still moving is score and approach
