That was one of my favorite movies as a little kid :)
Now the only time I ever watch it is when I'm babysitting.

ROCKY!

a few more for you guys to check out.


Stalag 17
Dr. Strangelove
Braveheart

Fight Club :sneaky:

Braveheart was ok, pretty good movie

Didn't like it :p
along with SnakeEyes :green:

SnakeEyes was horrible...

The Shawshank Redemption is also one of my favourite movies of all time...

What's Up Tiger Lilly?

Doubt many of you have seen it...or heard of it.

Tough decision...

But I'll go with Pearl Harbor.

:eek: Are you serious!?!?!?!


Ok, some more to my list....

Rear Window
North by Northwest
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

And btw, Fight Club was a great movie, just not the best of all time, so I didn't list it...

I didn't thinkt hat was the best movie... it was ok but not somthing I would die to see again

I'm not really good when it comes to choosing this but for now, I'll choose


Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Why does she jump at the end?

Does she wanna be forever with her love or something?

A Clockwork Orange...though many Kubrick's, Coen Brothers, Wes Anderson's movies come close.

Hmmm, I don't know if there could be a crisp and absolute rubric that would guide me in picking the best movie of all time. The truth is, rating a movie depends on people's differing standards of what really distinguishes a great movie. Some people think the enjoyment factor should be the sole standard. While some people would argue that the mastery of the craft of movie making (direction, screenplay, theme etc.) is the only factor that should be taken into consideration.

The purpose, or the essence, of a movie to me, however, is how much it allows me to feel the experience the movie is trying to portray. In other words, a great movie (notice that I stay away from using the word good; there is a profound qualitative difference) allows me to feel as if I have lived the situations in the movie. A great movie is one in which I can vicariously live the situation which that movie tries to portray.

There are some movies that totally ignore this principle. And yet, I admire them wholeheartedly. "Chungking Express" and all of Wong-Kar Wai's movies come to mind. His movies are about expression of emotions through the medium typically associated with films, with an emphasis on an artistic metamorphosis and transcendence of film.

The fact that there are movies which I enjoy and admit are great that also disregards my principle of great movies should serve as a testament that deciding which movies are "best" can be an endless attempt. In short, there are no "BEST" movies. But certainly there are movies which are better than others.

With that said, my favorites are:

"Seven Samurai" - Akira Kurosawa
"A Better Tomorrow" - John Woo
"Fallen Angels" - Wong-Kar Wai
"Crimes and Misdemeanors" - Woody Allen
"Casino" - Martin Scorsese
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" - Ang Lee
and countless others...

Pearl Harbor? Bleh.
