Basically, I see the terms "favorite" and "best" as two separate things. "Favorite" is when my personal preferences come into play, like what causes the biggest nerdgasms and what I most fondly remember, and "Best" is when I look strictly at the fundamentals, like good story and characters. I only see reason in arguing about it when it involves "Best", not "Favorite", since what makes others' boxes tick and what make mine tick are totally different, but everyone knows what makes a good film. Also, I need to do some rewatching as well. I don't really subscribe to the idea of "favourite" or "best". Even stuff that is considered the best in how it's made, like direction, writing etc., ends up being subjective. One movie may be considered badly made by one person, a different person may see that same movie as being avant-garde and brilliant. Like I follow some reviewers who have acknowledged a movie being well made but they still hated it.
