Your all-time favorite film

Just that simple: what is your very favorite film of all? Everybody's got one. It can be anything -- famous or obscure, a classic or a routine release, good or so-bad-it's-good. No criteria, no right or wrong, no disputes or arguments, everyone's opinion is valid, just please no trying to impress others by making a "heavy" choice that you really don't watch all that much. We're past that, now.

You can explain why it's your fave or just leave the title. Your choice. It seems an obvious question to ask veterans of the CFB. But only one title to a customer!

My favorite movie of all is:

The Guns of Navarone (1961).

A cast of favorite actors (Peck, Niven, Quinn), terrific story, tense direction, beautiful locations, superb music (Dimitri Tiomkin), and, hey, it's World War II!

There's some tough competition but Guns still ranks at the top of my list after all these years. Not the best but the one I like best.

Yours?

I never got a chance to see the series. I read it didn't last long. Still I've been curious. I wonder if youtube has gotten it. Lately they've had everything it seems.

Well godewey, youtube didn't have it but another user gave me a link to old sci-fi movies and I've been watching a couple. I types in Logan's run the series and it has it.

If you want to revisit it here is the link and if I enjoy it I'll see about the dvds. Hope it lives up to the movie.

Thanks godewey. Yes I've been watch the show the last couple of days and while I had only the problem with the first part of the pilot I've enjoyed the series. Rim has been a delight and became my favorite. I only have one episode left and I'm sad to see it was only fourteen episodes as the stories are amazing.

The G of W has had a influence on my life since I was about Tom Joad's age. I have seen this movie many times over the decades. I started out identifying the Tom back in the 1960s. Eventually, Pa Joad and me started seeing eye-to-eye about things, especially since I work a small farm. Now, it seems that Grand Pa Joad has taken hold here. All I want is a "mess o'spareribs".

"Now, Voyager"
I was a really young girl when I first saw it and for some reason the film
Just resonated with me. I've never watched a film where I can still remember the way I felt when I first saw it.
Bette Davis is awesome in the film and Charlotte is such a great character:-)

I would never attempt to argue that The G of N is not.
