What's your favorite movie? (Knee-jerk reaction)

If somebody asked you right now, what would be your response to this question: "What's your favorite movie?"

My immediate answer is almost always Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not only was it awesome in 1990 for Turtles fans, but it totally holds up in the humor and effects categories. It's forever awesome.

Ahhhhh..... Toy Story.

Memento.

Too many to have just one. Maybe try favorite horror movie or action flick.

John Carpenter's The Thing

Rush Hour?

EDIT: first thing to come to mind

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The movie that usually pops into my head first is Shawshank Redemption, though that's probably not the right answer.

Fight Club or Sin City I guess.

Die Hard With a Vengeance, even though in truth it is probably The Exorcist.

Into the Wild, first thing that came to mind

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

Cool Hand Luke always pops first for me, but god there are so many.

Blue Velvet was what popped into my head first

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Stalker.

Lost In Translation

Fight Club!

Blade Runner, I guess.

Weekend at Bernie's

@slashdance: Adam?

It varies, Unforgiven right now, Taxi Driver a few years ago, Seven Samurai, Once Upon a Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Josey Wales, Mystic River, Untouchables, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Shawshank, Deer Hunter, Godfather, Memento and The Prestige.

Predator.

There Will Be Blood

Back to the Future

Ferris Bueller.

In Bruges.

The Goonies

Apocalypto. I've only seen it once and that was 7 years ago, so I'm not sure if I'd maintain this upon seeing it again.

Back to the Future, though fuck, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is amazing every single time.

It's hard, because I feel weird naming any movie from the last decade, because I don't know whether I'll still like it 5 or 10 years after I initially saw it in theaters. I've rewatched the movies I just named, and they have withstood the passage of time (and my own maturation). But like, hey, that first Iron Man is pretty fucking fantastic too.

Back to the Future

Lord Of The Rings

Zerkalo

Face/Off. My love for that movie isn't even bullshit hipster irony. It's a genuinely good film.

Star Wars is my go to.

The first thing that popped into my head was Man on Fire. Can't say that would actually hold up if I took some time to consider it but it was the first thing I thought of.

Starship Troopers

@notdavid: Face/Off is a great movie.

Aliens

Fellowship of the Ring would be my gut reaction.

Airplane, motherfucker.

The Blues Brothers

The Truman Show.

I always say the original 1933 King Kong.

Ghostbusters

Watchmen Ultimate Cut (215 minutes - Director's Cut & the Black Freighter cartoon sections) - ending aside, pretty much a panel for panel adaption of the graphic novel. Or some Wes Anderson movie like Rushmore.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (after you've seen Vol.2, and gotten the context behind everything)?

Close seconds with American History X, Inception, and Pulp Fiction.

Ghostbusters

Aliens.

Hot Fuzz
