For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

Jurassic Park. I love movies that starts calm and maybe a bit fantastical that builds up suspense towards a huge terrifying, awe-inspiring reveal and Steven Spielberg is a master of that skill.

That is my girlfriend's favorite movie. On one of our anniversaries, I rented out a movie theater and surprised her with a private screening. She figured out what movie it was about 2 seconds in when the insects started buzzing.

I need to send this idea to our new nephew-in-law. Our niece walked down the aisle to the music from the movie!

I did it at a small privately owned theater. They made me sign some kind of waiver too for them to show it. I brought in the DVD for them to play.

Every time I see Jurassic Park, i'm amazed how well the effects hold up. Just such a great movie all around.

This is a movie you can put on at anytime and I'll sit down to watch it, it's just such a classic. I regularly catch myself humming the theme song also.

One of the few movies I've seen multiple times in the theater! Also, it was the first movie we watched after my Dad gota surround sound setup with great quality sound and enhanced bass. It was so immersive and we LOVED the experience.

"We're back in the car again." "At least we're out of the tree." My Dad and I still reference this regularly.
