"Fargo," to me, is Number 1.

My favorite all-time movie. Have a Blu-Ray copy, could watch it any time. Frances McDormand won the Oscar, but the rest of the cast is just as good.
The plot, with things going wrong because weak, greedy humans are involved, well, I just love it.
After that, in no particular order: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Aliens, It: The Terror from Beyond Space, Key Largo, Poltergeist, The Caine Mutiny, Blazing Saddles, Animal House, The Wild Bunch, 13 Ghosts, The Haunting, Paths of Glory, The Seventh Victim, The Asphalt Jungle, White Heat, The Manchurian Candidate, The Searchers, The Tin Drum, Hope and Glory, Excalibur, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Starship Troopers, Godfathers I and II, The Thing from Another World, A Face in the Crowd, Sweet Smell of Success, In Cold Blood, Dirty Harry, Miller's Crossing, just about anything with Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, or Joan Crawford, film noir like Gun Crazy and Criss Cross. Double-crossing dames, tough guys in snap-brim hats...I root for Cagney in White Heat.
Some of the movies on my list have been remade. The remakes totally suck. Well, except for John Carpenter's The Thing. Pretty good, and more faithful to the short story the movies were based on ("Who Goes There?"), but it lacks the snappy, rapid-fire dialogue of Howard Hawks' original.
And I love movies, so I probably left a few out.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
