To answer your first question in a word: No.
Now, more words: impossible. I couldn't narrow down to ten favorite movies. Or twenty. Maybefifty seventy-five, a hundred, if I were really pushed. And even then, I resist the concept of "favorites." I usually characterize it as something along the lines of those I revisit most often. Maybe that's hair-splitting. But even among, say a hundred, it would vary: some days, I'm in the mood for Sunset Blvd; on another, The Best Years Of Our Lives; on still another, it might be an Astaire-Rogers or a Hitchcock or Chinatown or Ballada o soldate. Or any one of dozens of others.
To the second question (from which, by the stated conditions, I haven't disqualified myself), I'll put it this way: I recently participated in a thread on Film General posing the question of whether The Exorcist was the scariest movie ever made; I stated that there probably ain't no such animal. It's impossible to quantify. Same would apply to a "best movie ever made" proposal.
If I'm being difficult, apologies, and pay me no mind.
