Favourite German movie? No, it's not Das Boot anymore... no, it's not Stalingrad neither... The Lives of Others

Favourite Brazilian movie? Yes, I love City of God too, but it's actually Tropa de Elite

1. Watchmen
2. The Outlaw Josey Wales
3. Usual Suspects
4. Bad Santa
5. Apocalypse Now

p.s. My "favorite movie" is defined by a movie I watch every year, which has changed over time, Watchmen currently being #1 (even though I watch Bad Santa every year too).

Animal House came out while I was a Sophomore in college, prompting me to join Tau Kappa Epsilon. My wife, Gwynne, was an Omega Xi, so Animal House may have led to 38 years of marriage?!

I can't pick between Josey Wales and the Preacher, I keep going back and forth between TOJW and Pale Rider as my favourite western.

Both are excellent but TOJW has better quotes:
"Dying ain't much of a living, boy."
"Josey Wales is an easy man to follow, he leaves dead men wherever he goes."
"I noticed that people he don't like don't stay around long either."
"How does it do with stains?"
"Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms."

Agreed.

TOJW has all the best lines, but Pale Rider is better cinematically, and even though he's a man of fewer words; Preacher; so dark.
