Ever since the technology for the creation and widespread distribution of moving pictures was developed, people have enjoyed the art form.

Almost every cinephile has a list of films they've watched over and over again.

Some offer comfort as they evoke fond memories, some are classic films or cult favorites while some are just a fun way to spend time.

George Takei decided to ask people what films they'll never tire of.

Here are some of their answers.

The Wizard of Oz

The Shawshank Redemption

Harold And Maude

The Matrix

It's A Wonderful Life

The Sound of Music

Withnail And I

The African Queen

The Blues Brothers

The Color Purple

Wayne's World

Pride And Prejudice (2005)

Jaws

Roundhay Garden Scene (1888)

...and of course...

Star Trek

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan

Giphy

In 2017, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) recorded 268,246 feature films since 1888.

Many early films have been lost before they could be preserved or discarded.

Though the exact number globally isn't known, it has been estimated at least 500,000 movies— narrative fiction, feature-length, theatrical films—currently exist.

That's a lot to choose from.

So did your go-to film make the list?

Trump Just Gave A New Reason For Why He Closes His Eyes During Meetings—And Here We Go Again

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he explained to New York Magazine that the reason why he's constantly photographed with his eyes closed is not because he's sleeping... but because the meetings he attends are "boring as hell."

In November, The New York Times published an article that argued that despite Trump's projection of “round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina" and the fact that he "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," that image is getting harder to pull off because Trump is showing signs of aging.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
