Some would think that there's a difference between 'Best' and 'Favorite'. 'Best' as in the cream-of-the-crop movies, the most well made, well acted and well scripted movies. 'Favorite' as in movies they might not consider to be the best of all time, but the films they like the MOST. :)

I can see the difference between the two, but I don't separate them anymore, I always put my favorite/best films together in one list.
