Just read the title.

"Just read the Title?"  I've never heard of that movie.

And according to the American Film Institute, it's Citizen Kane.

I will go with AFI's choise of best movie of last year: Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring.

[Reply #3 on:]

The Princess Bride owns you all.

[Reply #4 on:]

Goodfellas

[Reply #5 on:]

I'm hesitant to say 'Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring', simply because it doesn't have an ending.  But there's something about the scope and power of the movie that makes it Great.

Tough call, different types of "best movie", but I would have to say schindlers list is my favorite

Fantasy: lord of the rings
scifi (serious): 2001
scifi (light): terminator series
war: schindlers list
comedy: austin powers 2
old: citizin kane
scary: aliens

[Reply #7 on:]

Terminator series, Aliens, Toy Story series, Speed, Fight Club, Back To The Future series and Jurassic Park

[Reply #8 on:]

I was going to point out that this thread already exists here but that is full of scary nurdbot posts 

I don't think that there is a best movie it depends on the viewer and what mood they are in.

[Reply #9 on:]

Alien Series (I am a big fan of H.R. Giger, designer and surrealist artist)

eXistenz

anime: Akira, The Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor I & II (III is out too I heard)

Doberman: A French (yes, French) action movie that is better than much Hollywood crap I've already seen.

I've always wanted to see what The Ghost in the Shell was like ever since actually seeing the trailer in a computer game I used to play.

[Reply #11 on:]

Star Trek IV

[Reply #12 on:]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for me, in almost any mood.

[Reply #13 on:]

My favourite film is Airplane! I don't think I could argue that it's the best ever film but it's so funny   

[Reply #14 on:]

I wouldn't say it's the best movie of all time, but my favorite is Being John Malkovich.

[Reply #15 on:]

I like the spoof films myself so my all time favourite has gotta be Robin Hood men in Tights. Thats so bloody funny  Any film that makes me laugh ranks high in my favourite film list 

[Reply #16 on:]

I can't pick just one favorite, but anything by John Hughes ranks pretty high.

[Reply #17 on:]

The director's cut of Blade Runner to my mind is one of the best films ever made.
It improved upon the original several times over.

It's definitly one of my favourite films.

Total Recall and the Terminator series are very good too.

I think for a kids movie, Toy Story II is wonderful. No bad points in the film at all but I would wonder what message it's giving out. Stinky Pete was classed as evil bad guy because his views conflict with the main characters. I really feel for him though because I understand where he's coming from. Nothing really wrong with what they did with him, for a film, but they are setting an example to young kids - I worry that it sets the example of not trying to understand why someone disagrees with you, just screw them.

Don't know if you agree or not.

I must be one of the few people that prefer the original version of Bladerunner.

I was totally underwhelmed by The Matrix, I think mostly because of Keanu Reeves.

I'll probably give the sequels a miss.

[Reply #37 on:]

Its one of those films which sort of makes you think. Is anything real?

[Reply #38 on:]

I like a lot of movies, but anything by Alex de la Iglesia is the best!!

[Reply #39 on:]

My favorite movie is Blazing Saddles.  Won't win any awards from the critics, but I love it.
