Greatest Movie of All Time?

[jhonebrin]

My greatest movies of all time is Final Destination 5...... I've seen it that many times. Guys what is your Greatest movie of all time?

 

[Artevelde]

Tough question. But the answer certainly can't be something like Final Destination 5.

It's a bit too difficult for me to choose one movie. some of the greatest movies of all time include:

2001 A Space Oddysey
Metropolis
The Man Who Would Be King
The Deer Hunter
Once Upon A Time in the West
Gone With the Wind
Der Blaue Engel
Triumph des Willens
Aleksander Nevsky
Run Slient Run Deep

 

[Douger]

The Devil in Miss Jones.

 

[PredFan]

I cannot pick only one. Here are the top 10 best of all time, not in any particular order:

1. Gladiator
2. Braveheart
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. The 5th Element
5. Zulu
6. The Shawshank Redemption
7. The Green Mile
8. Forrest Gump
9. Casablanca
10. Airplane

If it was forced to chose one movie as the best, it would be from this list.

[rightwinger]

Casablanca
The Godfathers
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
The Great Santini
Goodfellas
Shindlers List
Silence of the Lambs

 

[Big Black Dog]

The best movie ever made was "The Muppets Take Manhattan" or maybe "Pee Wee's Big Adventure".

 

[Peach]

Casablanca
The Godfathers
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
The Great Santini
Goodfellas
Shindlers List
Silence of the Lambs

I'd add GWTW.

Casablanca
The Godfathers
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
The Great Santini
Goodfellas
Shindlers List
Silence of the Lambs

Damn.

I can hardly believe that rightwinger has such solid "taste" in quality movies.

My own opinion?

Bar none, the singular best movie is: Casablanca.

The other movies on rightwinger's list (in my estimation excluding Santini) are all viable candidates for falling close behind. I'd add: Lawrence of Arabia.

Edit:

I missed Peach's contribution, earlier. I have to tip the cap to her addition, too. It would be difficult not to include Gone with the Wind.

Both an excellent SF classic and a terrific horror movie, too.

Lawrence of Arabia would make my list if they ended it at the intermission. Everything beyond that was WTF?

Point Break
Thief-James Caan.
Yea. It's been a long time since I watched movies.

And you had no taste or intellect then, either.
