Best Movie Ever?

[stupendous man]

Well, I agree with many that have mentioned. Though some of you clearly suck.

I would add:

Dances with Wolves
Glory
The Empire Strikes Back
Spies Like Us

[Dudley]

Last of the Mohicans

Its the only movie I have ever purchased twice... a fair litmus test,no?

[spook]

In no particular order...(this list goes to eleven!)

Jerimiah Johnson
Shawshank Redemption
Cool Hand Luke
Animal House
The Razor's Edge
Seven Samurai
Saving Private Ryan (although the Band of Brothers series was better)
The Dirty Dozen
Clockwork Orange
Raising Arizona
Repo Man

jeremiah johnson is seriously underappreciated in my opinion. i just watched the maltese falcon again and it's an amazingly good movie, writing and characters are so much better than most. i also second outlaw josey wales.

life is beautiful.
farewell my concubine.
KOYAANISQATSI
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Cinema Paradiso
Some Like It Hot
On the Waterfront
2001
Il Postino
No Man's Land
The Shining
Dances with Wolves
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
To Kill A Mockingbird
Amadeus
The Bridge On the River Kwai
A Bridge Too Far
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Streetcar Named Desire
Grapes of Wrath
Jaws
Alien
Last of the Mohicans
Like Water for Chocolate
Rocky
Brazil
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
The Unforgiven

etc., etc., etc.

i watch a ton of foreign flicks and i'd say on average they're far better than most of the crap that has come out of the u.s. in years. not necessarily my all-time favorites, but a much safer bet than anything domestic.

clint eastwood has been in and/or directed a lot of great movies. alfred hitchcock... i'm also on a bit of a bogart trip right now.

i'm just trying to ease your witherspoon jones, jer. it's a thankless job doing anything for you. but are you really going to argue on behalf of hollywood? the land of worthless, one-dimensional actors, tired writing and special effects?

oh, right. you loved no country for old men, didn't you.

[AbsolutStoli]

life is beautiful is an amazing movie. i cant believe i forgot to mention it. glengarry glenn ross also.

to have and have not. the chemistry between bogart and bacall is so intense. no wonder they got married.

the sting is also a great movie.
eastern promises
history of violence
rambo - first blood
caddyshack

im a huge fan of gene wilder. young frankenstien was brilliant. and he was really good in sherlock holmes' smarter brother. i couldnt stop laughing when i watched see no evil, hear no evil.

motorcycle diaries was really good also.

[Flexon Phil]

Last of the Mohicans

Its the only movie I have ever purchased twice... a fair litmus test,no?
