The Godfather - Part II. What a hell of a movie. It's a shame that this masterpiece is obscured by its (also excellent) predecessor.

It Happened One Night and Annie Hall for me though. Also Ben-Hur.

I also love The Godfather movies and the LOTR movies. I love most Best Picture winning movies but I can say that most of the winners were wrong like Rocky over Taxi Driver, Gandhi over E.T, How Green Was My Valley over Citizen Kane and The French Connection over A Clockwork Orange etc.

I always take L's, my favorite movies rarely get picked every year.

Favorite: As a Philadelphian, Rocky is more than a movie.

Casablanca is my favorite, but I believe Lawrence of Arabia to be among the greatest films ever made. My Top 5 would be:

  1. Casablanca (1942)
  2. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
  3. The Sound of Music (1965)
  4. It Happened One Night (1934)
  5. Annie Hall (1977)

Definitely not Gone With the Wind, Titanic, or Ben Hur. I’ve seen most of the others in this thread, and I love the majority of those. But the aforementioned three are such boring pieces of garbage, and Titanic was just straight up stupid. I can see why they won best picture, but as far as personal preference, they’re trash.
