OT - Your best movie of all-time 

Post#1 » by Texas Longhorns » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:50 am

What is the best movie you have ever seen?

For me, The Godfather.

The first 2 Godfathers were indeed fantastic movies.

I'd probably go with Apocalypse Now, but it's a tough choice.

I hate threads that limit you to just "1" choice. That's impossible. I can't limit my favorite movie, or album to just 1. So I'm going to be a rebel and do 5.

Apocalypse Now
Fight Club
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Big Lebowski
Godfathers 1-2

Amen.

Sooo many great films out there though. Almost anything war/mafia related is great to me but I like a little of everything really. I haven't seen too many great films in a while though. It seems the only really good ones that have come out recently(that I have seen) are American Gangster and No Country for Old Men. There should be alot of good movies coming out this year though, I can't wait.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I'll pretend I didn't see you say that. It will be difficult, but I promise I'll do my best.

Shawshank Redemption is up there on my list. It's an oldie, but a classic none the less.

There's just too many good movies and it's tough for me to list all of them. Here's 20:

Forrest Gump
Fight Club
Road to Perdition
The Green Mile
A Beautiful Mind
Se7en
The Godfather 1
Shawshank Redemption
There Will Be Blood
The Lord of the Rings
Pan's Labyrinth
The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain
The Prestige
American History X
The Pianist
The Sixth Sense
Training Day
Atonement
Big Fish
Oldboy

I'm not a fan of movies such as Goodfellas, Scarface and Raging Bull, but the Godfather trilogy is an epic.

EDIT: And no love for There Will Be Blood?

Sure they will. It's good, but not the greatest.

I'm sure it would have been much better if I had seen it when it first came out or soon after, but I just saw it for the first time a year or two ago.

I just watched Perfume - The Story of a Murderer, which was really good. You can almost smell the movie, it's nuts.

Top 5:
Godfather
Wall Street
[please stand by...]

Some others:
Stranger than Fiction
Junebug
Die Hard
True Lies
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Bedazzled (with Dudley Moore)
Archangel
Sherry Baby
The Bourne Identity
Predator
Don't be a Menace to South Central while Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

...

I'm really going to need to fill this out from home.
Morey 2020.

:o

Word to Raoul's list, not hardly a non-awesome movie in there (wasn't crazy about Black Hawk Down, and haven't seen about 5 others, but that's about it)
Morey 2020.

The Grapes of Wrath.
I just love that movie.
Also Citizen Kane is just great.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is one of my favorites also.
I loved American Gangster and No country for old men recently.
