What favorite movie from your childhood held up the best into adulthood so that you could watch it still to this day?
Both the 1933 and 2005 version of King Kong. It is rare when a remake is as good as the original, and rare for a remake to be nominated for and win an Oscar.Both films are highly entertaining and both films have achieved such an indescribable technical achievement. Though the original film’s scare factor had dropped (after all it is 85 years old) with it being a horror film at heart. The films still amaze and cause jaws to drop at how it tells a fantastic and creative story with so much mystery behind it.Give them a watch, and pay attention to the little details. You'd be surprised at how much work was put into these films.

If you could only choose one, what would be your favorite movie of all times?
This hypothetical question begins with “IF you could only choose one…” I cannot. Whether being asked my favorite Dylan song or author or city or novel, I always think in terms of a small pool of favorites because I do not know how to narrow it beyond that.When I built my first website, this was my list of favorite films:1. Paths of Glory (Kirk Douglas)This Kubrick classic exemplifies the art of storytelling in film. Every viewing yields new treasures. A must see by this master of the medium.2. Educating Rita (Michael Caine, Julie Walters) Dynamite performances all around, and Caine at his best, in a story that avoids cliche, contains depth and charm while being utterly entertaining.3. Truman Show (Jim Carey) Original, remarkable, profound4. Chariots of Fire Inspirational without being insipid. One of the great music soundtracks as well.5. The Trip to Bountiful (Geraldine Page) One of those "I wish I could write like that" movies. Tennessee Williams caliber screen play, but more heart warming than gut wrenching.6. Groundhog Day (Bill Murray) A masterpiece. Really.7. The Mission (Jeremy Irons, Robert DeNiro, Liam Neeson) Challenges our notions of what it means to be live the life of faith in a fallen world.8. It's a Wonderful Life (Jimmy Stewart) This Frank Capra classic stands the test of time. This is indeed "what it's all about." 9. Field of Dreams (Kevin Costner) What a wonderful film. Just watched it again and forgot how good it was. So many great lines. Go the distance!10. Cool Hand Luke (Paul Newman) Another fifties classic that still holds up after all these years.Strictly for the fun of it.1. BeetleJuice (Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton & more) A Tim Burton film with all that it implies, but Keaton steals the show.2. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Michael Caine and Steve Martin) 3. A Fish Called Wanda (John Cleese, Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin) 4. Zelig (Woody Allen) Brilliant and original.Since writing this there are a number of other films I would add. Vanilla Sky and The Third Man would be two of them.Hope this is helpful.
