I'm gonna go with two comedies, both from Mel Brooks:

Young Frankenstein
History of the World Part I

 

[thesuperfunk]

Leon

Easily one of Gary Oldman's finest performances!

 

[Asmodai48]

Lawrence of arabia
The good the bad and the ugly
Godfather

Any of these

 

[Scavenger]

Lawrence of Arabia. It's scale is so much bigger than modern movies. Special effects mostly consisted of doing the actual thing and just film it, be it derailing of trains or giant cavalry charges against a city. Every shot is worthy of being framed on a wall.

Yep. The film is perfection from the very moment the mood-setting overture plays.

Surprisingly for a film with a running time of more than 3 hours there isn't a single boring moment which is quite an achievement. Most recent films in the three hour range just feel too long, but not Lawrence of Arabia.

 

[DiscoJon]

The Princess Bride.

 

[dark_inferno]

Sometimes its Citizen Kane.
And sometimes its Metropolis.

 

[Camp Lo]

Same. Shawshank is my GOAT movie.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Shawshank is so not the best movie ever made.


I'd probably go with Pulp Fiction, Fightclub or the Big Lebowski...

Bu t the real answer is the Goonies.

 

[RecursiveFault]

The Princess Bride.

I was having trouble choosing, but you're entirely correct.

Anybody want a peanut?

 

[Brandwin]

A toss-up between Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction for me

 

[GrizzNKev]

Incredibles

 

[Summer Haze]

I have a quite a few that I can't choose between (in no particular order):

1) The Shawshank Redemption
2) The Green Mile
3) Saving Private Ryan
4) Road to Perdition
5) Schindler's List
6) Gangs of New York
7) The Dark Knight

 

[Sephzilla]

The original RoboCop in my opinion is borderline perfect. Everything that movie sets out to do, it absolutely aces

 

[Extra Sauce]

I want to say something like 2001, There Will Be Blood, etc. But I would be lying to myself, the answer can only be Back to the Future.

 

[LeadenStride]

The Woman in the Dunes by Hiroshi Teshigahara is probably my favorite.

 

[HylianTom]

Sometimes its Citizen Kane.
And sometimes its Metropolis.

Oh man.. Metropolis is still something incredible.

I can't tell you how many nights I've left it on in the background, if only so I could fall asleep to that soundtrack.

 

[Slevin]

Mine would be The Fifth Element.

If there is a heaven, for me it would be endless rewatches of the movie and every time would be like the first time I watched it.

 

[The Lamonster]

I'm not arrogant enough to proclaim what the best movie ever made is, but my personal favorite is probably James Cameron's Aliens

 

[MrChom]

Blade Runner. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful and engaging films of all time.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

JFK

 

[PK Strawstorm]

Hot Fuzz is the best ever made if you put a gun to my head and made me choose.

Hot Fuzz is top 5 for me, but I would choose...

 

[Tony Iommi]

Rocky 1.

I see that movie more as a romantic flick than a sports film. Perfect setting, great chemistry, great soundtrack.

Perfect movie.

 

[quickwhips]

Die Hard

 

[ratcliffja]

The Princess Bride.

My man.

 

[Aureon]

Godfather part 1.
Runner-up: Predestination.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

The Fountain

Greatest OST ever
Greatest effects ever
So fucking good.

 

[Pickman]

Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. The William Munny Barrel Stare® wins it.

Edit: Thanks Bushido

 

[Don Chalupa]

Godfather part 1.
Runner-up: Predestination.

Godfather 1 has the better more cohesive story, but Godfather Part II is a grandiose accomplishment of cinema. It's my vote for best movie.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Rocky 1.

I see that movie more as a romantic flick than a sports film. Perfect setting, great chemistry, great soundtrack.

Perfect movie.

I was watching this with the gf a few weeks ago, and we noticed that Rocko was sending out some serious rape vibes when he had Adrian in his apartment.

 

[TM94]

Yeah I would say Shawshank too.

My favorite film though is the Bourne Identity

Must have seen it about 20 times.

 

[Tony Iommi]

I was watching this with the gf a few weeks ago, and we noticed that Rocko was sending out some serious rape vibes when he had Adrian in his apartment.

Sorry, but that's how real life work mostly. It's just that these days everything is offending to everyone. Too much political correctness these days, specially in the USA.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Hard to say. Probably Blazing Saddles or Ferris Buellers Day Off

 

[Wind's Howling]

The Deer Hunter and Once Upon a Time in The West are some very strong contenders for me as well.

 

[Bushido]

 

[Summer Haze]

I forgot to add 'The Pianist' to my list.

"Why the fucking coat?"

"I'm cold"

 

[RoryT]

Just finished watching bad santa recently, it was incredible.

 

[MadmanUK]

The Goonies

 

[ultraspank]

.

 

[Violence Jack]

Too many for me to decide just one.

My all time favorites are:
Die Hard
Die Hard With A Vengeance
Robocop
Footloose
Leon
Hellraiser
Kill Bill Vol 1
Silence of the Lambs
Psycho
Pulp Fiction

 

[Easy_D]

I can't do lists no matter how hard I try, but I'm gonna say Blade Runner is my favourite movie of all time.

 

[Grenchel]

Woman in the Dunes or The Mirror, I think. I think about each at least a little bit every day.

 

[diehard]

 

[ecierif]

It's a hard question,because i didn't see a lot of movies,and my favorite changes with my mood,probably if you made this thread tomorrow my answer would be different

Spoiler

it would be Easy A certainly

. But,my favorite,and one of the movies that really touched me,was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I don't know about best movie ever made, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind may be my favorite movie.

 

[Sojgat]

 

[Pryce]

 

[Deified Data]

Nevermind, I'll make a better post later.

 

[Gries]

my top 5 favorite movies of all time are:

- 21 Grams
- Dead Man Walking
- Pi
- Requiem for a Dream
- Oldboy

 

[ChaosXVI]

For movie that I enjoy most and can watch literally any time and enjoy it, its got to be Pulp Fiction. It's just so damn good, so quotable...anyone who doesn't like Pulp Fiction is automatically downgraded on my respect list. How could you not like it?

But I know it's not technically the best...its just what I enjoy most. There Will Be Blood is a near 2nd.

 

[Nokterian]

I watch The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile once a year. Not only because there good there still fun to watch even if i saw them so many times.

Same goes to Back to the Future,Die Hard,Die Hard with a Vengeance, Robocop, Demolition Man. Blade Runner,LOTR, The Dark Crystal and a whole lot more.

 

[Zarovitch]

Shallow Grave (Petit meurtre entre amis)

edit: Princess Bride is a good one too.
