I hear that. I especially like movies that one can watch over and over again without getting tired of it.

I have a harder time distinguishing my favorite movies in comparison to TV shows. Movies seem to have a larger nostalgia factor, so some objectively lower grade movies rate much higher to me because of the memories associated with them.

I also had too much trouble limiting it to just 10 . I am obviously biased toward Science Fiction movies, so they got their own list (and yes I know there are some "Sci-Fi" movies in the other lists; they fit better in the other lists in my mind). There are also a number of older movies for which I have a fondness, but they don't necessarily compete well with the other movies, so they also got their own list as well.

Science Fiction:

1. Interstellar
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
4. Blade Runner 2049
5. Edge of Tomorrow
6. Starship Troopers (When acknowledged as the satire it is)
7. I Am Legend / I, Robot / Men in Black Trilogy / Independence Day (If I had to choose one, Men in Black)
8. Galaxy Quest
9. Star Wars Movies (If I had to choose one, it would probably be Rogue One)
10. A.I. Artificial Intelligence

General:

1. The Mind's Eye (Don't expect many people to agree. Chose it mostly because it was particularly influential to me, as I watched our VHS copy an absurd number of times. Is here on archive.org if anyone is curious)
2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (If I had to choose one, Return of the King)
3. Catch Me If You Can
4. WarGames
5. WALL·E
6. Ocean's Trilogy (If I had to choose one, Ocean's Eleven)
7. The Dark Crystal
8. Indiana Jones Trilogy (If I had to choose one, The Last Crusade)
9. The Prestige
10. The Mummy

Old:

1. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
2. Planet of the Apes Movies (If I had to choose one, the original Planet of the Apes)
3. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
4. The Andromeda Strain
5. The Time Machine
6. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
7. Day the earth Stood Still
8. Forbidden Planet
9. Jack the Giant Killer
10. Clash of the Titans

I like these type of threads because it opens up me eyes to options that I might not have found on my own. A lot of good movies posted so far.

I see a lot of movies I love here. Awesome list. Do you or any other use apps to keep track of your movies or even tv shows?

[Pesala]

@Tetsuosumo I use bookmarks.

[Tetsuosumo]

@Pesala Never though of that as an option truth be told, considering how large some lists get. I just bought a lifetime membership on plex and am currently digitizing my entire film library.

I used tastedive.com for awhile, but it lacked the granularity I wanted for TV show episodes and a recent UI update made it much less usable. It is still decent for recommendations and finding people with similar preferences.

Now I use trakt.tv and the Android app Showly synced to the Trakt data. Sticking with the free version for now; haven't hit any major roadblocks in terms of their gated premium features.

Trakt has less discoverability of new content, but it is fantastic for helping you realize you missed a new season of a show. The calendar for new episodes is great. There are also tons of apps and services that tie into Trakt's API, so you can do a lot with the data. Looks like it can be linked to Plex, but you need the premium version of Trakt to do it: https://blog.trakt.tv/plex-scrobbler-52db9b016ead

@nomadic Thx for the tips. I am going to try out trakt.tv with plex and see how that works out.

I noticed it works with Netflix as well, awesome.
