Wait no that doesn't make any sense. Movies don't pick, they're not sentient. This doesn't even sound like some philosophical idea, it's just nonsense. Maybe James means when you think about your favorite movies the best one "sticks with you" which I kinda understand. But in truth it's more like which one do you stick to more? So this saying is not very clever.

There are so many films in this list that would be in my top 50, 3 out of your top 5 are also in mine. These are some of the reasons why you've always been such an inspiration of mine, would love to meet you one day. Cheers James.

I'd guess that we all keep coming back to James because it's crystal clear, for all of us, that everything he makes is absolutely driven by the love he has for what he does. Anyway, that would be my theory.

Adam Sandler is a comedic genius whose films rival those of Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick. Sure critics thought it was low brow and panned it but only because they didn't understand the subtle nuances of Sandler's auteur style. Fuck The Godfather, fuck Star Wars, fuck Pulp Fiction; Grown Ups 2 is the best movie of all time.

One thing I love about these sorts of lists is being able to see how diverse we all are. You get to see where you are similar but also different to others and that's really interesting to me. For example, I love North by Northwest and Rear Window and I was happy to see them both in this top 25 but I was also quite surprised to see Sword in the Stone on here, which I rarely hear mentioned, and am honestly not all that fond of. It's fascinating to see how someone else views cinema, how they've been influenced by it, their tastes and all that.

I watched The Great Escape when I was 11 years old while I was in class. I also watched Animal farm that year. I look back and I'm quite thankful that my Teacher had the class/me watch these, I didn't fully understand them at the time, I thought I did, and it made me re-look up these films and stories over and over in my life.

Great list and after nearly a decade of watching James Rolfe I can see how he was influenced by some of the list. My own top 10, and this is chronological as I can't muster the energy and effort to list them in terms of quality: Planet of the Apes, Fiddler on the Roof, The Godfather, Rocky, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Amadeus, Beauty & The Beast, Spirited Away, Marvel's The Avengers, Inside Out.

I thought you were going to mention the movie Rat Race when you were talking about It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Rat Race's premise was so heavily inspired by that movie. Rat Race also featured a lot of great actors and cameos from great actors from its time.

I could see comparisons between you're comment about how CGI in Terminator 2 was the latest technology when it was released and The Wizard Of Oz. When I watch The Wizard Of Oz I have this strange feeling of almost being transported back in time and being amazed with colour film being the latest technology when it was made in the thirties,a technology that is taken for granted today by filmgoers.

My favorite movie of all time is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Might not be the greatest movie of all time objectively, but it's the one I cherish the most for it's homage to classic cartoons, phenomenal mix of live-action and animation, fun story that gets more intriguing down to the very end, great actors and voice-actors, surprisingly adult content, and the subtly powerful and insightful way in which the toons are depicted. No movie I've seen has ever made as much of an impact on me as that film did.
