P.S.
Stop writing LOTR trilogy; trilogy means three in a series. The Lord of the Rings are three completely different film and although they all suck, they take up three spots on one's list, not one.
Thank you.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that the Lord of the Rings trilogy "sucked," as someone tactfully put it. They're pretty good films, not on my favorites list but enjoyable to watch when you've got two or three hours to spare.
Anyway, my favorites INCLUDE (I'm very indecisive) the following, in no particular order:
Psycho
Garden State
The Breakfast Club
The Seven Samurai
Young Frankenstein
A Fish Called Wanda
The Lady Vanishes (the first Hitch movie I ever watched, and it holds a special place in my heart :-D)
Monty Python's Meaning of Life
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I also really like Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, Amélie, Run Lola Run, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Thelma & Louise, both the old and the new The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rear Window, Our Hospitality, Sherlock Jr., Strangers on A Train, Vertigo, To Catch A Thief, and The Ladykillers with Alec Guiness.
I've seen 2001: A Space Odyssey also, and I love Kubrick, but I haven't seen it in so long that I can't really remember if I liked it. All I remember is a talking machine.... I was about eight years old.
And to the person who mentioned Floating Weeds, is that the one with the theatre troupe who comes to a small town in Japan, and the leader of the troupe has a son in the town but the boy thinks his father is really his uncle? I think I also saw another of Ozu's films, Early Summer I think it was called. Am I thinking of the same thing?
