Favorite Movie of ALL TIME!

[passline]

Please post what you feel is your all-time favorite movie and why?
Here's mine:
Once Upon a Time in America. Sergio Leone
My Reason?
I've seen a lot of movies over the years and this one just keeps coming back to the top of the list time-after-time, and I really cannot put my finger on it as to why? It has to be the long version only!

My all-time favorite is Tampopo.

It's a classic. To this day I can't watch it without getting hungry and going out for ramen! :biggrin:

 

[Stephen@NCAutoUSA]

Haven't seen it in a while but Shindler's List

The original Star Wars. I don't remember any other movie that wowed me more than Star Wars back in 1970's.

The Shawshank Redemption.

2001 Space oddessey not because it was the best in it's time, but because it's the best EVER! I can't watch 10 mins of it without commiting to the whole thing. uh oh gotta watch it next.

Band of Brothers - the HBO mini-series.

Why? Watch it. Its our history and shows what consideration, compassion for others, and a will to be loyal to others is all about.

You're right. B.O.B was a tremendous film. I guess it was more like a movie even though in the mini-series for tv category. That one would be way up near the top of the list for me.

Thank God Sarge kept the thread on topic:redfacevmike and Steveny could have turned this into a "name that lake" contest thread

 

[95EagleAWD]

Top Gun.

 

[4AU4LIFE]

Top Gun.

+1 totally agree

My favorite is RAN. I think Kurosawa is the greatest director of all time. Seven Samuari, Rashomon, etc. etc. Throw Citizen Kane (Wells) in there and you have my top 10.

Shawshank Redemption

[sahtt]

Jeremiah Johnson. No contest.

 

[NeoNSX]

Aliens.

 

[nsxotic911]

The Matrix #1 only...
If Keanue Reaves could only act, it would have been even better, but even with 2 poor actors (him and the girl..) it was a great movie.

Absolutely no question. . . . .Caddyshack.

It's all about Lawrence of Arabia. If you graph the net quality of movies, you will find that quality steadily increased until 1962 with the release of LoA, and then steadily decreased since then, in classic normal curve style.

No movie is perfect -- except Lawrence.
