Greatest Movies of All Time

As a rival to the worst, how about the best?

What's the best movie you've paid to see in the cinema? How about the best you own on DVD?

Best I paid to see was Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind simply because it was the most surprising. Jim Carey and I was expecting it to be pointless and annoying but I knew nothing about it. A friend dragged me to see it and I've never been so pleasantly surprised by anything. It's a great film.

Best I own, that's gotta be the Labyrinth. An old film I know but it's got some of the best fantasy elements of any film I've ever watched.

The greatest are the ones I would watch over and over again and never ever get tired of: A Christmas Story, Airplane (both of them), and BLazing Saddles. I own all of them.

"Les trois frères" It is the best French comedy on Earth !!

Best one I've payed to see is probably Akira. Fantastic animation, still doesn't look dated and the story holds up pretty well even after being massively condensed.

Best one I own on DVD is Once Upon a Time in the West, brilliant film, fantastic cast and unbelievable use of sound throughout.

Best recent movie is 300. That movie kicked so much ass... it's incredible.

I agree, I really like that movie. The director is friggin' awesome, I love his style.

At the top of my head.

1. Amelie - such a feel-good film and it was very warming. It's a foreign film, in French.

2. Shawshank Redemption - not really my cup of tea, but it was such a nice ending.

3. Last Days - the plot is based on Kurt Cobain's last day, but it is in no way associated with him.

Cinema:

LOTR [All of them]

DVD:

Oscar [STILL makes me laugh my butt off.]

nice rival froum Latest and greatest is Pans labyrinth and Maybe Howls moving castle

300

Dr. Strangelove Is one of my favorites.

Full metal Jacket is awesome.

The godfather of course.

Citizen Kane is just amazing.

The best thing I've seen in the theater has to be Grégoire Moulin contre l'humanité it is hillarious.

LOL! I knew we'd get some Monty Python in here at some point. "He's not the Messiah..."

Are we talking about a european swallow or an african swallow

Nope, not that movie. Hate that movie, sorry.

"Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time."

Is that the one with Drew Barrymore?

Ok, changing my vote slightly, or adding to it. I just rewatched the Romeo + Juliet from 1996. It has to be one of the greatest films of all time. I love the adaption

Claire Danes as Juliet

Yeah but in general, if you ever see it at the theatre, Romeo is played by the inexperienced actor, the weak link, whereas Juliet tends to be stronger and the supporting cast like Benvolio and Mercutio are all very strong actors to play the parts they need to. After all, Mercutio has the best line of the entire play: "A CURSE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES!!!"

Good choice But it has leo in it

Im coutning on Spider-Man 3 to be a killer movie this year. At least the best comic movie so far, at least on par with Batman Begins. Batman Begins was awesome!

In the theater-Akeelah and the Bee.

DVD-Rocky.

Oh, shut up, I'm only allowed to watch PG and they're good movies.

Blades of Glory was awesome though. Will Ferrell and Jack Black are my favorite actors-Kicking and Screaming, School of Rock, Talladega Nights, all awesome.

I'm starting over, after seeing the lack of love some of the greats arent getting.

1.Scarface

2.Boyz'n da Hood

1. Godfather

4.Crash

5.Transformers the movie (original)

Walkingstone says:

"Claire Danes as Juliet"

Are you Mormon or something?

Spider-Man 3 is going to be the best movie I have ever paid for. Hell I'd even pay to watch the trailers... lol well maybe not, but you get the point.

Blackhawk Down

Outlaw Josey Wales

Reservoir Dogs

Good Will Hunting

Saving Private Ryan

Unforgiven

Gran Torino

Inception 
Return of the King 

Unforgiven 

The Shining 

Children of Men 

Way of the Gun 

Drunken Master
 
The remake of The Wolf-Man. I love the original but I was seriously impressed by the remake, instead of (as so many remakes of classic horror movies do) just amping up the violence and intensity they still kept it with a solid character and story driven plot.
 
Hero, with Jet Li
 
The Good The Bad and The Weird. Even if you are not a fan of foreign films I recommend this flick it is simply amazing, stunts, acting, plot, action, gun fights, bad ass characters. Trust me when I say the this Korean take on a western is splendid.

pulp fiction
