I teach film studies and often wonder about this. As a result of being a poncified academic sentimentalist, I'd probably say Bicycle Thieves.

Not for any reason other than the film makes me smile every time, The Royal Tenenbaums.

this is an interesting question because it wouldn't be my fave flicks (Brazil, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Alien, Spirited Away) it'd probably be something like:
Amelie

My favorite movie is Stroszek, but if I knew I was going to die I'd probably want to watch Cool Hand Luke or something like that. Yeah, just about any good Paul Newman movie.

A true story about Amistad. I watched it in a cinema where I'm sure I was the only white guy in the audience. I'd been in the pub beforehand and during the trial scene became absolutely desperate for a pee. I was getting really frantic but couldn't leave incase the people around me thought I was walking out in protest at the film's anti-slavery message - they were shouting things like "fuck yeah" at the screen! I've never been more relieved to see a film end in my entire life. |

Amistad is one of the few films that has really actually moved me. I was angry and sad at the end of it. I think it's because I live in the south and I am surrounded by racists.

if i knew i was going to die i probably wouldn't be thinking about watching a film, plus i can't really think of a film that would put me in a good frame of mind to prepare for my voyage into the after life.
although if pushed i'd choose maybe choose star wars or something japanese (perhaps sonatine, or dersu uzala). or maybe dead man. |
