Question Best Film Ever?

[PhantomCruiser]

Top Gun isn't too bad as far as comedies go. But I think it pales in comparison to Blazing Saddles and/or Young Frankenstein.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is definitely on my top 5 favorite movies list. I love that movie. I love all of the Indiana Jones movies. Even Crystal Skull. Not my favorite of course, but still watchable for me.

I just absolutely can't believe I found this one!! Been looking for it for years. Actually I found it a while ago, but now its on YouTube for all to enjoy.

My favorite thing I've seen in ages is Secondhand Lions. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Yes! I haven't thought about that movie in years. I definitely need to watch it again sometime.

Would the Chinese movie be Curse of the Golden Flower? Everyone looks quite golden and shiny there

Some of my best-ever favorite films: Ran by Akira Kurosawa, Lawrence of Arabia (saw it on Blu-ray for the 1st time this year and it was awesome!), the original Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, Contact (starring Jodie Foster) and Avatar.

Maybe not the best film ever, and as I've given my vote, this could be a cop-out!

Don't often see it on the telly here, but Pitch Black is on ITV2(UK) 21:00 BST tonight.

Well, thats my credibilty down the drain...again.

So many to name! I'm sure I've forgotten some but my list of favorites would have to include
The Matrix
The King's Speech
Apollo 13
The Truman Show
Catch Me If You Can
Moon
The Hunt For Red October

One that really deserves mention here (haven't seen a post yet!) is Primer, probably the best time travel movie I have seen and one of those which still conveys new nuances after watching it a dozen times!

A three-course meal:

Ah Cloud Atlas, that is indeed a curious one, something that I see having as much haters as lovers, quite the work of art that one is.

I'm currently working my way through the source book, and Wachowskis have completely butchered the Sonmi story, by not realizing her obvious parallells to Jesus of Nazareth. It would have been a much better movie if they chose to exploit that angle. Oh well. The movie is confusing enough that it will develop a cult following anyway

That said, Kieslowski's Red makes the same point Cloud Atlas does, in half of time, 1/6th of storylines, and 1% of the budget...

Managed to find the scene I was after in The Wages of Fear:

Still looks good I think?

Always been my favorite

But if you are going to watch it you need to makes sure to get the extended directors cut. For some reason they have deleted all the funniest scenes even from the standard blu-ray.
