Greatest Movie Ever?

[auxgym]

What was the greatest movie ever made?

Consider quotable lines, karma dispensed to the deserving, and general level of "justice is served"

The Greatest Movie Ever Made was the Wizard of Oz in 1939......and second place is not even close.

Of your two selections, tombstone. And I agree point break was the better swayze film.

I also support with the picks for pulp fiction and Schindler’s list, although what quotables came from the later? After the mention of schindler’s List, I was surprised no mentions for Saving Private Ryan [edit: and the pianist, which is definitely in my top 5]. And if we’re talking quotes, it’s anchorman for me.

A horrible movie without any redeeming value whatsoever.

Glad to know your perspective doesn’t only suck when it comes to PSU coaches!!!

Can’t wait to read what you consider a top-notch movie brimming with value.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Another forgotten classic, Bridge Over the River Kwai.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Another forgotten classic, Bridge Over the River Kwai.

And it’s sequel, The Bridge In The River Kwai!

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Either Casablanca or Old Yeller.

Which btw is on AMC right now. Monday 7-9 pm

I used to watch AMC but since they changed their format and threw annoying commercials in, I'm strictly a TCM watcher unless I'm really desperate. It seems their biggest draw is The Walking Dead and I'm not a fan of horror and gore.

Titanic. I can't believe they haven't made a sequel yet.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Kung Fu Panda
Saving Private Ryan
Million Dollar Baby
Interstellar
The Matrix

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Titanic. I can't believe they haven't made a sequel yet.

With global warming the iceberg’s role would be played by an ice cube.

Ryan was a great movie but had a number of critical flaws

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Blazing Saddles!

 

[LionJim]

Actually, my favorite movie is Jean Renior's humanist masterpiece from 1937, "Grand Illusion."

 

[LemonEars]

The best movie ever is Animal House. Nothing else is close.

 

[artsandletters]

Blade Runner, Schindlers List, LA Confidential, Chinatown, French Connection are a few of my candidates

Agree except Blade Runner. Add The Unforgiven, Bringing Up Baby and His Girl Friday.

 

[lionhrt54]

Any which way but loose.

 

[sluggo72]

Surprised no mention of Captain Ron Everything you need to know in life , is in Captain Ron

 

[psulongago]

The Godfather.

Godfather is great, I liked Godfather 2 a bit better. Not the greatest but one of my favorites "Breakfast at Tiffany's", excellent score. Another truly terrible movie but with fabulous music "The Jazz Singer" with Neil Diamond.

 

[RU31trap]

I almost forgot "Young Frankenstein".

 

[GangBangGuy]

How could we possibly have gotten this far along without some mention of Howard the Duck? Here is a summary for those cinematically challenged among us:
Howard the Duck, based upon the 1970s Marvel comic book series, starred Lea Thompson, Tim Robbins and Jeffrey Jones and featured a talking, cigar-chomping duck from another planet that is zapped across the galaxy to Cleveland where he meets a musician who attempts to help him return home.
George Lucas outdid himself with this production!

As a first runner-up, I nominate Doctor Detroit starring Dan Hemorrhoid

 

[RCS-PSU70]

The Guns of Naverone.

 

[bluewhiteApos]

Another forgotten classic, Bridge Over the River Kwai.

I second this.

 

[Gnat91]

Warriors. Close second ... The Wanderers and The Outsiders.

 

[Obliviax]

I'll go with

1. Wizard of Oz
2. Casablanca
3. Citizen Kane
4. North by Northwest
5. Psycho
6. Where Eagle Dare
7. The Longest Day
8. Ben Hur
9. How the West Was Won
10. Excalibur

Also loved Cast Away, Godfather(s), Year of Living Dangerously, Mad Max, American Pie, House of Sand and Fog, Silence of the Lambs....

Roadhouse wins by virtue of more gratuitous nudity - but it’s close.

Roadhouse wins by virtue of more gratuitous nudity - but just barely. FIFY.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Forgive me if this "review" of Roadhouse was posted earlier on BWI. I can't remember where I first saw it, but funny as hell...

[PearlSUJam]

Roadhouse is a fine fine film indeed. However, it’s Patrick Swayze’s other film that is THE BEST FILM OF ALL TIME.

Point Break.

Nothing else even comes close.

It's Johnny Utah's acting that is so suck ass that brings that movie back to the ground.

 

[Thorndike2012]

Jeepers! You freaks all forgot the REAL best movie ever made.

Cool Hand Luke

"Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand."

 

[SUR1]

From Here to Eternity
Ben Hur

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Raiders of the Lost Ark is always in my top 5 across all genres.

While The Godfather movies were great, my favorite in that genre is Goodfellas.

Unforgiven is my favorite western, but also have Josey Wales and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence high on my list.

Fantasy films - Empire Strikes Back and the Lord of the Rings are fantastic.

 

[schoolie]

Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Zhivago
and . . . drum roll please
Deep Throat
