Though I do enjoy Dogma a great deal....

Probably Princess Mononoke or Unbreakable.
Hard category though - maybe we could say favorite comedy, favorite drama, favorite action?

In no particular order, my top five are almost certainly Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Shawshank Redemption, Annie Hall, and Mary Poppins. Jaws is up there too, maybe top ten.

Forgot about the Shawshank redemption, definitely a favourite of mine. The Indiana Jones movies were certainly good too.
