Back to the Future, Aliens, or Terminator 2: Judgement Day. I can't decide a number one best but I was able to narrow it down to these three.

EDIT: I haven't viewed this thread in a while and I found that I already posted something on here. Oops.

Surprisingly my favorite movie is one I saw once many years ago and that I can't remember the name of.

All I remember is that it was about a roman slave who saved his master on a sinking galley and was eventually given his freedom in the end.

Other then that, Kill Bill Volume I.

If we're allowing series then Lord of the Rings and it's not even close.

yeah, that's pretty questionable. I doubt it's a movie most will remember years from now.
The Creeping Barrage is the name given to a method of firing artillery. At the beginning of Trench Warfare the basic tactic was to fire lots of artillery at enemy trenches for a sustained period of time and to stop firing just before the infantry attacked. However this method wasn’t very successful as the German had built strong bunkers and were able to man the defences in the time between the bombardment ending and the infantry getting to the trenches. A solution to the problem of the time lag between the bombardment and the arrival of the infantry was to change the way that the artillery was fired. Instead of just aiming at the same target the creeping barrage moved forward at a prearranged pace.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Superhero: Not a big fan of the genre, but Tim Burton's 1989 Batman if I have to pick.

Action: Apocalypto if that counts

Historical: Barry Lyndon

Comedy: Up in Smoke

Sci-Fi: The Star Wars original trilogy on a whole, though I really liked Rouge One too. Just because of childhood nostalgia, Godzilla 2000

Animation: Perfect Blue and Snow White

I suspect you may be thinking of Ben Hur.

It was incredibly intelligent for a superhero movie, and very well thought out. Seeing it’s rarely replicated: success at the box office and its rave critic reviews, I believe it will be rembered as a groundbreaking superhero movie for many years.

I don't think it was anything groundbreaking tbh. I thought the writing had some flaws ( nothing outrageous ) personally. I don't think box office success is a good marker for the quality of a film given stuff like Michael Bay's Transformer movies are some of the highest grossing movies of all time.
