When asked this question, I always say "Top Gun" but honestly I'm a huge fan of "Gladiator". Was the first movie I saw with my wife in the theater, and I really love the story. It's a bit depressing though and I hate sad endings.
I always liked Russell Crowe, he is fun to watch. Later I found out he is an asshole in real life. I always hate hearing about my favorite celebrities as they always turn out to be assholes.
"It was shit. But I'm the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good."
Russell Crowe - talking about Gladiator
I try not to pay attention actors these days and just watch movies I like. If you haven't watched Gladiator it is fantastic.
Couple other of my favorite movies:
- 300
- Ip Man
- The Matrix
- Almost Famous
- A Knight's Tale
I tend to have a preference to Epic Movies, larger than life.
What's your favorite, and why?
All images property of Paramount Entertainment and are stills from the movie Gladiator
My personal favorite movie of all time though would be Pompeii. Don't know if you've seen it @ipromote
And yes, knowing about celebrities' real lives most times ruins the admiration i have for them

My favourite movie - "MAD MAX :THE FURY ROAD".
I loved it because of its BGM,i got Goosebumps while i was watching it.Costume design & actions are excellent.In all characters,my favourites are NUX, and the guitar man. " WHAT A DAY, WHAT A LOVELY DAY" dialogue that thrills everyone whoever watches it.
Mine 2nd favourite is - "BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT"
A HERO wont become a SUPERHERO without a SUPER VILLAIN like "THE JOKER". Hats off to HEATH LEDGER for his marvelous performance.

"Favorite movie" can really depend on my mood, so it varies.
But if I was forced to choose one (and I have been previously), I'd go with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Harrison Ford, Spielberg, popcorn action, and Nazis. You can't lose with that hand.

"Troy"
It's about the Trojan War and follows the Demi-God: Achilles. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology and this one has been one of my go-to movies since I was 6 or so. Achilles is one of my favorite mythological figures, and I think the movie does him justice (for the most part).

The little side-step neck stab. It was apparently a very effective move during the time this move took place.
I loved the fact that the movie didn't make Achilles look like the demi-god he was, but as a normal individual who just lived to fight.
I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology... Have you watched "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"? It's based on the Odyssey by Homer.

It is the most educative movie i have ever watched. In the movie, you could see the blend of Comedy and life lessons. It was just so epic. Through this movie, my believe in passion grew; a man's gift maketh room for him_... and this has driven me.
He was intelligent but poor, educated but in someone's name (he went to school but actually he wasn't schooling) Passion journeyed him to actualizing his dreams.
He school name was Ranchodas but his real name was Wangdu.

I don't have a favorite movie but I do like the Terminator series ( Yes even the newer ones). So I was shocked to find out there was a short film made with the original cast as a sequel to Terminator 2.
Its called T2 - 3D : A battle across time. Check it out below :

"It was shit"?! Hadn't heard that one before. I knew he was a conceited dude, so the "greatest actor" doesn't surprise me. But how the hell could Gladiator be considered shit?
I'm going to have to search for the original script to see if there were changes.

Well, if he was just referring to this line, it almost makes sense. I can definitely see someone delivering this line in a crappy way. But, hey, you hire actors so they bring the lines to life.

Wow, I can't believe you didn't list the green mile or Shawshank redemption! And I understand what you mean about sad endings. When I was young I used to hate them, but now I like them much more. Not everything can have a happy ending. Sad endings show us the realistic thing that can happen.

Highlander--A giant game by Immortals, who fight for a prize...Lots of parallels here. Great Sound track. Plus they chop each other's heads off with swords. All the while-- against a historic back drop of lifetimes lived.
Gladiator ---Don't have to explain this one.
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy---Epic kick-assory spanning multiple characters and lands. A ginormous dose of..."Good Guy's Win and Bad guys suck".
Legend---In our innocence or ignorance we stumble into the dark but that same innocence also makes room for us to step into the light. Basically an enchanted fairy tale of how good triumphs over evil.
Goonies---This should be an obvious one.
The Last Dragon---Marital Arts greatness with an old school soundtrack and glowing Kung Fu/Karate dudes. They have electric punches and it was made in the 80's.
I have way more than that but this is good for starters.

Hmmmmm awesome. Well as a typical Nigerian lady #smiles I really love to watch love movies.
It doesnt have to be a Nigerian movie, it could be American, Indian, Ghanian, Nigerian, Phillipines and so on. So far its all about love.
It just gives a feeling of been alive and thoughts that there's still a lot to live for.
Love is a beautiful thing, you know
