Because it was the film that introduced Cate Blanchett to me, and I can watch it a hundred times and always find new details or another angle to the story. (Kind of like some books from an author I once read. What was her name again...?)
Not that I want to divert everyone on to that everlasting tangent where we would all discuss who we'd have as what characters if RotE books were ever converted to film BUT, for some reason, I can only see Cate Blanchett successfully playing Fool (if she could distinguish it well, in the eyes of the audience, from her role as Galadriel in LOTR)!
On topic, I could watch all of the Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings movies again and again and again (and have!) BUT, I simply can't go past The Man from Snowy River as 'favourite'. You would all watch it and go "Wha...?!" but the poem, the man, the musical score, the life and the landscape, well, it's a purely sentimental, Australian thing!!
