There have been a lot my favorite films posted so far, but not my favorite: Rashomon.

Most of the other movies posted so far have kind of followed the same general topes, disparate threads leading towards the "main" plot thread. What I like about Rashomon is that instead of directly playing with time and the nature of narrative, it instead is an examination of how everyone has a unique set of experiences, memories and perceptions, even though they're all are recounting the same events.
