My all-time favourite movies

On this list under “best of the best” and “honourable mentions” I’m only going to mention movies I’ve seen more than once. More than once usually means 2 or 3 times — even the Star Trek movies, which I’ve seen more than any others, I’ve probably seen no more than 7 or 8 times.

Then under “likely to be added” I’ll mention movies I’ve only seen once but will likely to be added to the list once I’ve seen them a second time.
