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

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...
  • Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels
  • Boondock saints
  • The Quiet man
  • Rocky
  • Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
  • Clerks
  • Pulp Fiction
  • Reservoir Dogs

Braveheart
Slapshot
Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail
Wild at Heart

(see, I only thought about it for a couple minutes and already edited)

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.

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.")

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)

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.

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

Indiana Jones
Casablanca
Star Wars

I am sure I will think of a dozen more in a few minutes.
