Don't we already have a thread on this?

I checked. We have several. Do we really need another?
 
I suspected there must be a thread about this subject here but after a quick search I did not find it. I will try again.

Could you provide some links? We'll figure out the best merges from there. Thanks!
 
I haven't found suitable threads either, as the others I found are Star Trek, Science fiction or something else. Therefore I like to answer here:
  • everything from Quentin Tarantino
  • everything from Luc Besson
  • and of course all of Monty Python

I found about 8 of them just using "favorite movie" in a title search but oddly, ALL of them were locked.
 
Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Star Wars and other in other languages.

I only saw Léon and Lucy which where great.

Great series. Only the last jedi was a disappointment for me.

Another film I like is

Black Swan
