Thread: Greatest Movie Of All Time?

I change my mind a lot on this. Right now I would say The Graduate.

There's too many to choose just one, but I'll list some of my favorites:

Halloween

Casino Royale

Mission: Impossible (series)

Rocky (series)

Rambo (series)

300

Blood Diamond

Dodgeball

Spiderman (series)

It's a Wonderful Life

- School of Rock

- Shaolin Soccer

- Star Wars IV V and VI

- Many more that I forgot

p.s. The forum wouldn't let me have any more emoticons so the last four are dashs instead.

Gigli

Anus Magillicutty

Seven Samurai

Probably Return of the Jedi, or The Two Towers.

I narrowed it down to three;

Poolhall Junkies

Youngblood

The first and third Crow movies.

Honestly...I'd have to say that the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is probably the most flawless thing I've ever seen on film.

Of course there are others I enjoy watching more, and for different reasons, but as far as the scope of the entire project and the overall result, LotR was just amazing.

current favourite = Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)

I'd say the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It takes balls of steel to even think of trying to adapt the books into movies, but Peter Jackson not only stepped up to the job, he provided one of the cinematic experiences one should never miss. If anything, it is the greatest movie ever in my eyes, if not the most iconic film of all time (I know it's gonna get parodied the hell out of, but hey, it made an impact).

Other movies I really liked where Donnie Darko, Belleville Rendezvous and Starship Troopers.

Braveheart

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

as far as bond movies go, GoldenEye was, by far, the best yet.
and come on people, where are the classics?!?!? the back to the future trilogy!
pulp fiction!
ferris bueller's day off was truely great, i must admit.
and i KNOW i've seen better, i just cant think of a BEST

one post above, maybe

Top Gun with Mavrick and Goose.

eh, that post wasnt there when i started typing i guess. you're right though, that is a really good one

My favourites are, " Come and see (1985) " and " Stalker (1979) "

Too many to pick one favourite. Here's a few:

Sunshine
Donnie Darko
The Village
Hot Shots
Starship Troopers
Moulin Rouge
Team America
Field of Dreams
Dodgeball
War of the Worlds
Tomb Raider (1)
All the Monty Python films
The Man With Two Brains
K-Pax
Edward Scissorhands
A.I.
The Time Machine

Looking over them all, I'd have to say that the best (by a tiiiiny bit) is K-Pax.

I don't know, my opinion changes over time. Like most people have said LoTR is a great trilogy and was a masterpiece. If it was made years earlier it would've been titled a "classic" but it just doesn't seem to have as much effect with todays stuff.

Meh my vote goes with LoTR.

I'll second those.

Definitely up on the "best of their genre" list, if nothing else.
