1) A New Hope
2) Labyrinth
3) Raiders of the Lost Ark
4) Pan's Labyrinth
5) The Dark Crystal

Those are the ones I can watch over and over again and feel something new and exciting each time. Somewhere lower on the list I would include:

The other Star Wars films
Back to the Future 1 and 2
Jurassic Park
Terminator 2
Die Hard 1 and 3
Godfather 1 and 2
Pirates of the Carribbean 1 and 2
Just about anything by Stanley Kubrick, David Lean, Clint Eastwood, Tarantino, Coppola or Spielberg.

I like that quite a few people here have Batman Returns among their favorites. I think it's a generally underappreciated movie, the closest in atmosphere and style to, at least my own, experiences with Batman comics. Also it probably had a major influence on the stylized approach taken with Batman TAS that worked so successfully.

I totally agree. Batman Returns is a masterpiece and underappreciated IMO. It definitely comes closest in style to Batman: TAS which I absolutely loved. Danny DeVito's Penguin and Michelle Pfeifer's Catwoman can't be topped...plus Christopher Walken is awesome as well. Damn I think I'm going to watch that movie now...

The Burton/Keaton Batman films are really the only ones I like, Returns being the better of the two.
