What is your favourite film?
No second choices, no explanations. Just the name of your absolutely most very favourite film.
That way we just have a list of films without having to wade through reams of subjective opinion.
We can then pick and choose which to watch! We can be surprised that a poster might pick a film we didn't suspect they would!
Then we can have a thread where we explain our choice. But for this thread just the name of the film. Not a series or a TV thing just a film that has been shown at a cinema first.
( someone is bound to balls this up on purpose or by not understanding the rules! )
I will start....

I keep getting pulled in to watching OHMSS as soon as the main protagonist arrives in Lauterbrunnen and zooms off by sleigh and then helicopter to Piz Gloria
it was the music from that film (including Piz Gloria/alpine mood themes cunningly embedded) that improved No Time to Die
(the same happens when Born Free is on)

No one has said it yet so I'm going with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, even though the real answer is probably one that's already been mentioned.

I like the original 'Whiskey Galore!', the black and white version, it's a staple from childhood and becoming comfortingly familiar. It may not be my one favourite, but it's a good film, along with The Lady Killers.
