Best movie of all time...
With thanks to h2g2fan for the thread idea...
Now, without setting up a poll that necessarily won't be inclusive enough, I was wondering if users would post their favourite movie. I will tabulate the results and maintain a running total below. My vote goes to CASABLANCA Mr Mephisto |
RUNNING TOTAL
Code:
|
As I haven't seen many of the classics I have to go with LA Confidential... it has everything in it including a wonderful cast and memorable story...
|
Scarface
|
Favorite movie: Bull Durham
Best Movie: (tie) The Godfather, Scarface. |
Gotta say The Godfather. Schindler's List is incredible too, though of a completely different nature.
|
too many to count.
|
The Godfather...
but I also Vote for: 2001: A Space Odyssey Blade Runner Matrix (1) |
Another vote for The Godfather,but Godfather 2 is just as good.
|
Army of Darkness, hands down.
:D |
One vote for Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Petter Sellers is one of my heroes. |
Empire Strikes Back
|
the best movie ever is....
The Big Lebowski |
It's tough to choose. I'll have to say either Godfather, Part 2 or The Pianist.
|
<------ Boondock saints 0wns j00. |
LADY BUG!! although I can't remember anything or know anything about the movie.
|
godfather
|
Star Wars
the original changed the genre, changed movie-making changed marketing, changed product after-market changed everything and a great story to boot, based on classic storytelling and philosophies from centuries of development. name one geek that hasn't been influenced by this movie. |
Fight Club
or Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back (wich incorporates all of the five movies) |
FIGHT CLUB!
|
blue velvet.
hopper's best, "heineken???!!!!!!???? fuck that shit. PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!!!!" |
Princess Mononoke - I don't care if it's anime.
:thumbsup:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Star wars was very influential, but my vote is for Empire Strikes Back, which was better.
|
fight club is by far one of my favorite movies... followed very closely by donnie darko, and igby goes down.
the godfather movies are amazing though. |
My #1 Seven Samurai.... Everyone has taken from Kurosawa. Lucas, Spielberg & Tarantino to name a few.
My #2 Citzen Kane. Another brilliant, visionary film. Written & directed by a man ahead of his time. |
Legends of the Fall
|
In no particular order:
RULES OF THE GAME (Renior) CITIZEN KANE (Welles) AU HASARD BALTHAZAR (Bresson) M (Lang) THE WEDDING MARCH (von Stroheim) Okay, so don't I feel like the movie snob of the bunch so far (there could be some more cineastes who have yet to post). So I'll throw in one more of my favortie movies to offset the snobbishness. And that film is: THE THREE AMIGOS Why? because, "My little buttercup, has the sweetest-" "eh smile, SMILE...." |
Another vote for The Big Lebowski.
|
So many films, so little time. What to do!!
My votes go to (in no particular order): Trainspotting The Godfather Life of Brian and Toy Story |
White Men Can't Jump
|
WMCJ is one of my favorites along with;
LA Confidential Shawshank Redemption damn, what are my other favorites......going blank right now. |
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
|
Favorite Movie ?????
List your favorite movie of all time....Mine is "Big Trouble In Little China" I know every single word in the movie.
|
See http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=20414
The existing thread is not even on the second page! Mr Mephisto |
Someones opinion of the best movie and their favorite movie may be two seperate things. You may think one movie is a great film with everything it needs, but you may enjoy watching another movie more. I do think that they can be considered 2 different topics, but it's not up for me to decide.
|
Fair enough
Mr Mephisto |
I consider them close enough that I've merged the threads....
|
Shawshank Redemption is the best in my opinion.
2nd. Donnie Darko 3rd. Run Lola Run |
for me, definitely seven samurai.
|
Silence of the Lambs
One Flew over the Cukoos nest Goodfellas best movie trilogy godfather |
OK, finally tabulated the results.
Where people entered MULTIPLE votes, I picked the one I thought most appropriate. For example, in a list that includes the Godfather and Toy Story, I took that as a vote for Godfather. I can't believe some of the movies some of you picked. White Men Can't Jump?! The BEST movie of all time?!!! Some of you need to get out more often. Sheesh... :) Mr Mephisto PS - Feel free to continue voting. |

As for the best film, I would have to vote for Hitchcock's <i>Vertigo</i> with the following films tied for second: - Felini's <i>8 1/2</i> - Kurosawa's <i>Seven Samurai</i> - Kubrick's <i>Dr. Strangelove</i> - Dreyer's <i>The Passion of Joan of Arc</i> - Coppola's <i>The Godfather</i> - Ozu's <i>Tokyo Story</i> - Godard's <i>Breathless</i> - Welles' <i>Citizen Kane</i> - Lang's <i>Metropolis</i> |
The Usual Suspects, for me, I think.
|
This one is hard. I'll have to go with South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. The funniest movie I've ever seen.
the next few are: Scarface, Snatch, Saving Private Ryan, Dogma, Office Space, and Jackass: The Movie. |

Now THIS is more like it. Whilst I don't agree that Vertigo should be number one, I'm both surprised and delighted you include Tokyo Story. Had it not been for the entirely personal and sentimental reasons I picked Casablanca, this would have been my choice. Mr Mephisto |
Goodfellas is a supreme achievement. Worth inclusion here for the continuous shot where they go for dinner through the kitchen, alone.
2001 is just fabulous. A veritable masterpiece. I'd also like to mention Unforgiven. Clint's finest hour; Gene Hackman is on top form, and, well, it's intense. My wife would like to nominate Cinema Paradiso and Delicatessen. She'd vote herself, but we can't work out how to set up another account. Oh, and Diva. What a treat! |
What about The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover?
Right, I'll shut up. |

I haven't seen Brazil mentioned yet, have I? Wait, I already named mine....

1) Shawshank redemption
2) Gangs of New York |
The Fifth Element

The Shawshank Redemption
The Parent Trap (1998) Princess Mononoke They are my personal favourite movies. I would say that The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie to exist to date and that Princess Mononoke is the greatest anime movie to exist to date. The Parent Trap (1998) is the movie that I most enjoy watching. I have watched it more times than any other movie. I have seen it over 50 times, spread out over a few years. I find I usually enjoy watching chick flicks or family flicks more than other movies. The reason for this is probably because action, drama, suspense movies and such are only effective the first and second time watching. After that, the buildups to the climatic endings don't work. |
American Beauty
Fight Club Shawshank Redemption |
