The criteria are whatever you want them to be, but short explanations are welcome. Note "favorite" not necessarily "best."
Mine, in no particular order.
1. Jaws
Immensely quotable and re-watchable, this is my favorite Spielberg and my favorite horror movie of all time. It brings me back to great family trips to the outer banks as a kid, staying up late watching movies with my uncles.
2. Pan's Labyrinth
Hoopschick and I went on our first date to see this movie at Carmike my senior year. If that weren't enough, it is an absolutely wonderful film. The visuals are just stunning and the storytelling is brilliant. Fantasy done right might be my favorite genre.
3. Die Hard
The perfect action movie. Quotable, re-watchable and one of the greatest villains of all time. Love me some Hans Gruber
4. Love Actually
Easily my most negreppable pick, but fuck you guys, it's awesome. It probably wouldn't have made the list had I made this post 6 months ago but whatever, I'm starting to get excited about Christmastime already.
True story: Last December I was at a high school buddy's house with 4 or 5 other guys having some beers and catching up since we are scattered all over the country. Around 11 most of the group (those that were still single) headed out to the bars, but my buddy Jeff and I stayed home and watched Love Actually instead :nohomo. My father in law gives me shit about this pretty frequently.
5. Casablanca
The GOAT. The perfect film.
