Best film of all time

[King4aDay]

1. Deer Hunter
2. Apocalypse Now Redux
3. Blade Runner

Nuff said.

 

[Worthy]

Reservoir Dogs just hit me too. The breakfast scene, phwoar!

 

[maddad68]

Aliens 1 and 2 ... 2 was the better one ... the other 2 sucked nut's .

Allso like the kill bill's ...lol the pussy wagon

 

[pedrochop]

Nobody's mentioned Casino. What a movie

 

[Stellios]

Goodfellas is brilliant, all the characters are spot on. Its nto the best storyline ever, but the ways its done is great. Id rather get shot at than watch the Godfather again.

The bit of full metal jacket before they go to war is amazing.

Surprised no one has said anything about The Usual Suspects to be honest, its class.

Have to agree with Gilly's list as being pretty much the entirity of the options that fits the thread title. They may not all be films that I enjoy, but I understand what makes a film become the greatest of all time - and all those films have that quality.

I would probably put forward Shawshank, as it is an exceptionally made film, great direction, narrative, acting and story - and has almost universal appeal.

However it only just about makes my top 20 favourite films (but I wouldn't class my faves as all time greatest films)

If that makes sense

I don't think I could ever pick just one film, I love a selection of films each for different reasons...depends what mood I'm in!

 

[Eliot]

City of god, pulp fiction, any lotr, any of episode 4to 6 starwars, donnie darko, kill bill.

Nobody's mentioned Casino. What a movie

i would watch it, then i heard about the 'vice-age'
Edit: What shall i go watch, godfather, or resivour dogs?

 

[Spunj99]

For me, it's a close call between;

Taxi Driver and Amélie.

Infinitely watchable.

 

[fatiain]

As mentioned, Leon, 2001, Goodfellas, Casino, The Godfather trilogy and most of Gillys list.

And for underratedness, Equilibrium

 

[MikeTimbers]

I don't see how anyone can have one "best" film. For me it depends on my mood, who I'm with. I love:-

Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources
Bladerunner (Original release version)
The Green Mile
The Princess Bride
The Outlaw Josey Wales

too many to list really.

 

[semi-pro waster]

Most have been mentioned that I could think of but 12 Angry Men simply for the performances, it doesn't sound like it should be a great film because you have basically 12 jurors and more or less one room for the whole film but it is truly captivating.

 

[Lt. Manlove]

Ocean's Eleven + Twelve?

 

[Gilly]

Ocean's 11 is a corking film, as is the remake.

12 is just poor.

I did miss the Italian Job though.

 

[benjo plz.]

12 is just poor.

yep lol, that just about sums it up.

 

[MiGSY]

The Matrix.

The style, the action and the special effects were all fantastic. But the main aspect which distinguishes this film from others is the storyline and the concept around which it is based upon.

 

[benjo plz.]

Apocalypse Now, which is a pretty much nothing film.

Good soundtrack though.

 

[valerian]

big lebowski, l.a confidential, there are so many
