Classics and cult favorites people can never get enough 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

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

That's a lot to choose from.

So did your go-to film make the list?
