Right now?
Sean and I always quote Tombstone, so without a doubt I'd say it's probably one of my favorites, but then I started thinking about it and I was struggling to come up with 10. LOL!

I did a layout 12 years ago of my favorite films. It had 6 on it.
Those 6 are:
101 Dalmatians (1960's version)
Palm Springs Weekend
The Way We Were
Top Gun
Backdraft
Rent
Add these:
Jesus Christ Superstar (1970's version)
West Side Story
The Big Chill
Top Gun Maverick
The only one I don't own either a CD or digital copy is Top Gun. I do have it in my YouTubeTV library which has commercials in the recording.
Actually I have copies of very few movies so the ones I do have (all on CD's were ones I enjoyed immensely.

I'm not a huge movie person and I don't really like watching a movie more than once, but I'll give it a whirl because I do have some faves and some I can tolerate or enjoy watching multiple times...
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (best of all time hands down)
Scott Pilgrim
Gladiator
300
Legally Blonde
The Hangover
Heathers
And I do like a good musical... Grease, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, etc.

I haven't seen Scott Pilgrim, but the rest are great. I agree, I enjoy a musical. I don't rewatch a ton of movies, DH was having a hard time narrowing down. LOL!

Favorite movie and favorite scene or line
Pretty woman - when he snaps the necklace box on her hand
Dirty Dancing - “I carried a watermelon”
Notting Hill - “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy…”
Star Wars (all movies) - anything about droids
Cruella - “I was born bad …”
Beauty and the Beast - absolutely everything
Harry Potter (all) but especially when Dobbie is given his sock
Leap Year - loved all the scenery but loved the ending!
The Hangover - all of it
A star is Born (Lady Gaga version) - when she firsts sings on stage

This is a tough one...We quote National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation around here all the time. Heck, we quote movies/tv shows all the time
Staying on the Christmas theme: Christmas with the Kranks
50 First Dates
Star Wars (we walked up the aisle at our wedding to the theme)
Harry Potter movies
I am sure there are others but these come to mind

Yeah, I think Christmas Vacation would probably take my number 10 spot.
I love the Holiday & Love Actually, but we quote it all the time. So that would probably round out my list.
Star Wars, would be in my top 20 for sure. Indiana Jones as well. :)
