I would like to add Beverly Hills Cop I & II to my list.
Wow. I didn't expect that as a #1, but I def agree!!!

My "first" favorite film of all time was The Howling. At one time in the mid-late 80s, my favorite film of all time was Explorers with Ethan Hawke. Those are both in my Top 20.
And Spaceballs.
Dark Knight series
Hangover series
Hellraiser series
Billy Madison
Wizard of Oz.
In Elway We Trust
Did you know that Eddie Murphy is returning to his role as Axel Foley in a new installment of the Beverly Hills Cop movie series? Brett Ratner will direct and Jerry Bruckheimer will produce the film for Paramount Pictures. Moreover, Beverly Hills Cop 4 being shot in Detroit today and it will release in March 2016.
I am glad that Jerry Bruckheimer is back with BHC franchise. I wish Don Simpson is still alive.
I like a lot of movies but most of my favorites go back quite a few years. I don't really care for most of todays movies. Movies were the best back in the 80's and 90's. Probably the most disturbing movie I ever saw was The Human Centipede. It was just wrong.
1. Star Wars
2. Matrix
3. Fast times at Ridgemont High
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. Boys Don't Cry/At Close Range
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE
I'm way late to this party, but I'm amazed some of my favorites haven't even been mentioned. At the same time I love many of those listed, so I don't think my taste is all out of whack.
1. Last of the Mohicans. Just utterly brilliant. I can't believe it's not been mentioned once in this thread.
2. The Hunt for Red October. I'm guessing anyone younger than 35 hasn't seen it. Find it and watch it.
3. Braveheart. Mentioned a few times here.
4. Shawshank Redemtion. Also mentioned several times.
5a. Shakespeare In Love
5b. Open Range. IMO, Robert Duvall, and Kevin Costner's best work.
Favorite Comedies:
1. There's Something about Mary. The first mainstream raunchy comedy.
2. When Harry Met Sally. More a romantic comedy, but a great movie.
3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Seriously? No one mentioned this? Bueller? Bueller?
4. Airplane!
5. Christmas Vacation.
I fell asleep during Shake in love (circumstances, not movie quality), but I'll give it another go based on this. Hard to argue with those picks, objectively speaking.

I remember falling asleep in the Hunt for Red October as like a 5 year old, and have never seen the movie in its entirety.
