So, I usually watch all of this foreign and experimental stuff most notably stuff from the French New Wave. I have not really seen much beforehand except maybe superhero stuff. There is also the "there is too many of them" excuse people would use when they struggle to come up with a favorite. I never really pick favorites as I treat movie enjoyment like the Billboard, some of them gain more interest at certain times than others.
Some more mainstream stuff I enjoyed over the years included: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, The Dollars Trilogy, The Green Mile, Fight Club, LA Confidential, Shawshank, Rear Window, On The Waterfront, and most recently Double Indemnity.
Unless if I were in a professional film circle, I feel weird talking about these: Umbrellas of Cherbourg, All That Heaven Allows, Sedmikrasky, Firemen's Ball, La Strada, Contempt, La Belle Noiseuse, House, Battle of Algiers (I could say that the theme song made an appearance in "Basterds"), etc.
Ones I like but would be too obvious to say: Shawshank Redemption, Any Star Wars, anything MCU, Dark Knight, Godfather, Citizen Kane. Just to say that I like all of these movies, I just would like to make it more exciting for the person asking.
My idea is to give multiple types of movies that I like whether it be musicals, experimental, or comedy movies. If there are "too many" movies, I could list one I have recently seen that I liked (like the pre-mentioned Double Indemnity) or list off a ton of the movies that I really like. Maybe just include some of the usual suspects (not the movie) in there as well.
Just like songs, I could never pick just one.
What would you do if somebody asked you what your favorite movie(s) were.
