What is your favorite movie of all time?

I know one can break down this question into comedy, drama, action etc., but I want your favorite movie of ALL time. Mine is Stalag 17. William Holden starred in this gem and it is just a tremendous movie. I'd also like each of you to offer your suggestions on up to three 'sleeper' movies as must sees for the community. Here are my three sleeper movies. 1. Owning Mahoney (based on a true story) 2. Rogue Trader (based on a true story) 3. Happiness - This is as dark a movie as you will ever see and may be a little disturbing to some of you. This movie is not for children. Have fun with this question and I hope all of you movie lovers discover a new flick to love.


Note - I believe that Blockbuster has taken Happiness off of their shelves, but try and find it if you like dark and twisted movies.

Reply:Stalag 17 is definitely a really good one but I would have to say Apollo 13 is my #1 all time favorite. I could watch it over and over. Even though I know the ending, I cry every single time because the movie is so well done - everything from acting, to music, to script is perfect.





As for sleepers, The Dish is a great little Australian movie about this satellite, stuck in the middle of a sheep field, that ends up being the primary receive for the moon walk. It's just this great little quirky movie and it even has Sam Neill and Patrick Warburton.





Another great unknown is Oscar which has Sylvester Stallone as a 1930s gangster who promises his dying father he'll go straight and become honest. The entire movie focuses on one morning in his life when he's set to become a banker, but everything just keeps going wrong. I don't think I've seen Stallone in any other comedy.





I don't know if this classifies as a sleeper, but Father Goose is on my top 3 list. It's one of Cary Grant's last films and he is absolutely amazing as a curmudgeony old drunk during WWII who gets stuck plane-spotting on an island and then gets overrun by a stranded French teacher and her 7 little girls. He's perfect for the role.
