If you had to choose one movie to show someone that hasn't seen it before...

Which film would you pick and why?

 
Month Python and the Holy Grail.

Because if they didn't like it, I would take their beer away and kick them in the balls because I could not be friends with them.

I own it on VHS, but have never seen it sober in its entirety. It's Dela Wark's answer to his own Birth Of A Nation, right?  
It's impossible to be objective in the face of the racism in A Birth of a Nation but Intolerance is a superior movie.  Thankfully, Griffith's four historical plotlines in one movie thing didn't really catch on.  It must have been mind boggling to audiences of the day.  The climax of the multiple stories is still exciting and the technical achievement for an nascent artform is impressive

I'm not saying it's the one movie to watch even if the timeframe was increased to 101 years. It's an important film in historical context but man, it's really long; they take their time with each of the four stories.  Griffith probably felt obliged to throw in every scene he shot.

Yeah it's interesting but it's way down the list of silent movies I would recommend someone watch. 

 
I am so looking forward to "The Disaster Artist". James Franco does a behind the scenes of The Room.

Comes out in a couple of weeks
Same.  The Room was such an abortion, and Tommy is such a weirdo how could it not be worth watching?(even if it's just in a trainwreck sort of way).

"You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!"

Ever see/play the browser-based game someone made based off of the movie?  It's....well, let's call it interesting and leave it at that.

I'll bite and offer  serious response, it depends on the person's age and what kind of movies they enjoy. So to narrow this down to just 1 film is tough. 

What great movie is most likable across many demographics?

The Apartment. It has everything- comedy, romance, drama. Even some Christmas Holiday vibes. It's sweet and yet still cynical enough that it fits in with modern movies.

I love you, Ilove80s. Did you hear me? I absolutely adore you....

 
Monty Python's Search for the Holy Trail - because it's blue, wait...No, red!

Shawshank - Cause, So was Red

Planes, Trains...Cause, How they know where we're going?

 
Seven Samurai

ETA... Why... Beautifully filmed and paced. Action, thoughtful quiet, great acting and mastrful direction.
