This movie had alot to say in the way that if you want something , go out and get it. No matter what the odds

With Honors was a good one!

Just goes to show you: there is NO accounting for taste.

I'll have to disagree with you there. The fact that most people like crap does not take away from the fact that it is indeed crap... it just demonstrates that most people are imbeciles.

Formulaic, trite, spectacle/drama/feelgood movies are by definition not great movies. They can be very effective entertainment, but even considering the idea that they may be among the "best movies ever" is like believing Tom Clancy is the greatest author of all time.

As for the "best movie of all time", there isn't one. Every style has its masterpieces.

Poltergeist is up there, maybe not my all time favorite but man, this movie still creeps me out after years and years.

Close encouters of the 3rd kind, Raiders of the lost ark, Blazing Saddles, Original 3 star wars movies, etc.

not really a movie per se, but the Band of Brothers miniseries is my favorite of all time.

as far as cinema films go, I could never pick a favorite. too man good films out there.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Apocalypse Now

:thumbsup

Goodfella's and Shawshank Redemption are my favs.

I also really liked Man on Fire.

In no particular order...

The Fifth Element
Ground Hog Day
Vanilla Sky
The God Father 2
Scar Face
Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back
Meet The Parents
Fight Club
Meet Joe Black
Zoolander

Withnail and I

braveheart
gladiator

Das Boot
Where Eagles Dare
Alien
Godfather
Scarface
hmmm...

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Closely followed by 'Its a wonderful Life', 'Last of the Mohicans', 'Sexy Beast' and Angel Heart'.

Braveheart was pants !!!!! 'Rob Roy' was a thousand times better.

Oh and I forgot Apocolypse Now and Goodfellas

:Graucho

I like a lot of movies, picking one to be the best is too hard

Scarface. My all time favorite. But Irreversible is also a very good film. But I wouldn't eat anything during watching Irreversible. This is the sickest movie I've ever seen

Jaws

Life of Brian & The Jungle Book.

some of my favorites

Das Boot
Braveheart
Jaws
The wizard of oz
Father Goose

titanic
forrest gump
back to the future

gladiator
legends of the fall

The Godfather is the best movie ever made!

Oh yeah .. when I was young .. the neverending story was my top too!

Man .. I saw this move 10 times at least! And I would still watch it now! It's an evergreen I guess

I can't choose one as the "best", too tough a choice. Some favs of mine are

Glengarry Glen Ross
Repo Man
Spinal Tap
Brazil
Swimming to Cambodia
Fargo
Baby Snakes

Glengarry Glen Ross should be required viewing for anyone and everyone who works in marketing or sales. IMO, that movie has some of the best dialogue ever written. Actually, most of David Mamet's movies have damn good dialogue, probably a function of starting out as stage productions.

Anf if you like claymation, especially sick/twisted claymation, Baby Snakes is a MUST SEE - Bruce Bickford's clay work is pure genius.
- Q.

Best movie would have to be Godfather, Streetcar, Casablanca, something in that vein with either Brando or Bogart.

cloclwork orange!

Legends of the Fall is da bomb, its got sex, violence, war etc. can't go wrong.

Has to be FORREST GUMP

Donnie Darko ..

but that might be a little bit too intelligent for the average gfy user ;)

Ass worship 6

I never saw it but want to. It's supposed to be one of the weirdest movies ever made.

I think someone who thinks there is one single best movie of all time is an idiot.

The Shawshank Redemption is easily the best movie of all time. :thumbsup

I like the Kevin Smith DVDs in this order:

Clerks
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Mallrats
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
An Evening with Kevin Smith
Jersey Girl

Most of the other movies I like are all 80s B movies or indy flicks. I"m not big on hollywood hits.

Here are some of the more known ones though:

Dazed and Confused
Doomsday Generation
Kalifornia
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Kids
Another Day in Paradise

shawshank redemption
empire strikes back
ghost busters
top gun

Reckless with Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah is a great movie.

These are the best movies for me:

Tomb Raider
Night at the Roxbury
Rush Hour
So Close
Almost Famous

:thumbsup

Over the Edge ....great stoner movie
