Best Movies Ever?
OK, what movies do you guys think are the BEST ever? We've had the worst, and for all I know, there may have been a Best Movies thread too, but if not, here we go.
I got a couple, although, I admit, most of my movies are recent, so I'm probably neglecting some classics, and I apologize. 1. American Beauty (I'm sorry, but I feel if you didn't like this movie, you just didn't understand it.) 2. Training Day 3. Gladiator 4.Tombstone 5. LOTR I and II |
Back To The Future Trilogy
Tron Fifth Element Indiana Jones Trilogy Hackers agree with your 1&2, havent seen rest all i can think of now |
i actually disliked American Beauty the first time, but thought it was amazing the second. probably because the first time i saw it was with my mother, so with her in the room, i was mortified. um... let's see.
Requiem For A Dream was amazing Moulin Rouge just is achingly beautiful and Titanic. duh. ;) |
Terminator series : hope 3 doesn't suck
Transformers the Movie : childhood favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : a surprisingly good movie Das Boot : great submarine movie Predator : favorite action movie May not actually be the greatest movies ever, but I can always pop these in and enjoy them. |

this will no doubt bring howls of disbelief, but i think
LORD OF ILLUSIONS is a fantastic film, it has a great clive barker flavor to it, a mix of hopelessnes and eternal mystery combined with memorably human (for the most part) characters and grim, ultimately futile endeavours. |
hmmm, hard to say because everyone's interpretation of "best" isn't always the same. for me the best movies are the ones that I could watch everyday...

My $0.02
1. The Shawshank Redemption 2. The Matrix 3. Training Day 4. LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring 5. Starwars: A new hope FOX |
Shall We Dance.

This is a subject I could think about for a week and come up with a whole revised version. Anyway, right now:
Glory The Wizard of Oz Jaws The Sting Buffalo 66 Braveheart Slapshot Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail Wild at Heart The Long Riders (see, I only thought about it for a couple minutes and already edited) |
2001, the matrix, blade runner, saving private ryan, das boot, LOTR 1-2 (soon to add 3)
all kubrick films follow |
Best of movie of all time is Citizen Kane according to AFI.
I personally find it impossible to even list a top five movies of all time because they vary for me week to week. Plus I always kick myself for leaving things out. I will say that a lot of great movies have been named thus far. |
I could not possibly make a list like this, at least without breaking it down into genres, but i refuse to even try until Ive seen Boondock Saints. Ive heard a ton about his flic, but apprently my town has banned it or something, because non of the 9 video stores here have it available.

The Godfather (parts 1 & 2)
Jaws North by Northwest Spinal Tap Platoon |
I'm in a personal conflict... I don't know if anyone else runs into this problem, but I find there's a difference in my favorite movies, and the movies I think are the best. I'll just go with my favorites.
1) Memento 2) L.A. Confidential 3) Interview with the Vampire 4) Dazed and Confused 5) Goodfellas |
Good listings so far...
Might I add... -Casablanca ("Are my eyes really brown?") -Fritz Lang's silent classic Metropolis (NOT the horrible version with the Queen soundtrack, but the new one with the restored "lost" footage...not that I don't like Queen) -1951 version of Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) with Alistair Sim. (Waiter...more bread! - Ha'penny extra, sir... - No more bread!!) -Full Metal Jacket. ("M I C K E Y - M O U S E!") -A Bridge Too Far. ("I'm afraid we're not equipped to accept your surrender. So sorry!") -The Bond Films...("Nooo, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die...") -Apollo 13 ("Gentlemen...what are your intentions?") And of course... - Schindler's List ("It is a verse from the Talmud...He who saves one life saves the world entire.") |
Donnie Darko
Training Day The Crow Haven't really got 5 favourites but those 3 are all DAMN good. |
Requiem For A Dream
Schindler's List Memento Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail gotta agree with those |
5. The Abyss
4. American Beauty 3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 2. Platoon 1. Aliens Aliens wasn't a drama, or a philosophical film. It was an action film that didn't take itself to seriously. But, when you come right down to it, it set out to do something (entertain) ... and it did it far better than any movie before or since. Every "space marine" since Aliens has been based on the Colonial Marines. Every dropship pilot has been based on Caberra. Every hardcase Sergeant has been based on Apone. Aliens changed more about sci fi movies, books, and games than any other single film, and that's why it's my number one movie. |
thanks for posting guys. I knew this would happen, and it did, you guys reminded me of movies that I forgot, like an idiot. Some of the best:
Memento (groundbreaking) Aliens (a truly smart action movie, and those are few and far between) Schindler's List (one of those movies you love and hate at the same time, but you can never deny that its brilliant) Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail (probably the funniest movie ever) and one that I'm surprised to say no one's posted yet, Silence of the Lambs (debut of Anthony Hopkins as the freakiest villain in cinema, Hannibal the Cannibal) |
In no real order...
(keep in mind I don't think any of these are likey some of the greatest movies ever, but they're my favorites and that has to account for something) -Matrix -Pulp Fiction -Monty Python And The Search Of The Holy Grail -Fight Club -Truman Show -The Negotiator I haven't seen this movie yet, but I hear so many great things about it and it's not listed yet, so I'll give it a mention: The Green Mile. |
H12, DAMN good list my friend, DAMN good.
|
Star Wars (new hope) <- i think with the age of the film, people forget just exactly how incredible this movie was when it was made, and how it still stands today.
|
A Clockwork Orange
Brazil Two Girls and A Guy Waking Life Office Space Swingers The 25th Hour |
City Of God
|
They're not the greatest five, but I love um
- Igby Goes Down - Charade - Boondock Saints - American Graffiti - The Outlaw Josey Wales |
OK, let me take a stab at it. Note these are what I would consider the most entertaining not necessarily the best in term of quality or message.
Jaws The Replacements Matrix Holy Grail Silence of the Lambs Clockwork Orange Indiana Jones Casablanca Star Wars I am sure I will think of a dozen more in a few minutes. |
In no paticular order...
-The Boondock Saints -The Usual Suspects -Pulp Fiction -Chasing Amy -Monty Python's Life Of Brian |
Lord of the Rings Trilogy-FOTR, TTT
Star Wars saga Braveheart Raiders of the Lost Ark Evil Dead I and II Dances with Wolves One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest Goodfellas Creepshow Jurassic Park Terminator I and II The Matrix |
These are some movies I thought were very entertaining (in no particular order):
Memento Rushmore Snatch The Matrix Equilibrium Akira Best In Show |
first one that always comes to mind is Bladerunner, but Gunslinger, I like 5 of your 7 picks.
|
A few of my favorites include:
Apocalypse Now One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Batman This is Spinal Tap There are several others that I could include, but I'll keep the list fairly short. |
My list changes so much, but the one (or two) thing(s) that remains constant are Godfather I and II. Everytime I watch either one, I see something new and amazing about it.
|
Mulholland Drive
Lost Highway Blue Velvet Yeah...i like lynch ;) LotR Trilogy will probably be the best trilogy ever made IF the third is as good as the other two, (and everyone who has seen early cuts have said it is better so...let's hope!) |
Hmmmm...
I don't know if this is really my all-time favorite list or not, but off the top of my head these are some movies I really like: Star Wars Trilogy Braveheart Gladiator Spaceballs Galaxyquest The Matrix Indiana Jones Trilogy Monty Python and the Holy Grail And of course anything with Jean Claude Van Damme is just wonderful... ^^And just so I don't get spammed, that last one was a joke^^ |
Apocalypse Now
Platoon Taxi Driver One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Raising Arizona Wild at Heart The Jerk |
HEAT!!! Having Deniro and Pachino in one movie is enough for me and then comes that gun fight in the streets just after the real thing happened in L.A. a few days before the release. WOW.
