Given that people bring their own experiences, biases, expectations, and so forth to a film, I can say only what is the greatest movie(s) for me. I have seen Casablanca. Even for the genre and the time, I don't think it's the greatest movie ever. I like Waking Life for it's philosophy and art style, but I don't think it the greatest ever either. Unless you can tolerate seemingly endless monologues, it will bore you. I like Annie Hall as a romantic comedy, Memento for it's mystery/thriller quality, the original Manchurian Candidate (with Sinatra) for it's political satire, The Lord of the Rings series for its fantasy, Taxi Driver because it was just so raw and visceral for its time, and Office Space because is was so darn funny and hauntingly real for me.
