pattyboy Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I like this thread. I'm always looking for real movie buff recommendations (rather than those heavily influenced ones found elsewhere on the internet). A few of my favorites: Shawshank Redemption Pulp Fiction The Big Lebowski (and almost any other Coen Bros. movies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spot Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Once upon a time in America - Robert De-Niro, Sergio Leone (director) and Ennio Morricone (music) together in one film....Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Am I the only one who read the title of the thread? The BEST movie of all time is not the same as some pretty good movies that you have seen over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoal Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Once upon a time in America - Robert De-Niro, Sergio Leone (director) and Ennio Morricone (music) together in one film....Genius. I totally agree with you on the music, directing and acting in that great under appreciated film. I saw a new movie called "off the black" with Nick Nolte. This was an outstanding piece of work, highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKAsok Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Easy Rider, Deer Hunter, Scarface, True Romance.To many come to mind, loved the old black & white Hammer House of Horror when I was a kid, scared the shit out of me. Nice selection. Anyone got any suggestions for best Japanese film? Can I start the ball rolling with 'Audition.' Plus anything by Kurosawa...

lannarebirth Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Lonesome Dove Best MINISERIES! Don't be such a stickler UG. It's too hard to come up with just one. Lonesome Dove was very good. Loved the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRIPxCORE Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Picking one best movie is an impossibility. There are just too many good ones. Godfather I & II Big Lebowski Blues Brothers Full Metal Jacket Goodfellas and many, many more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't really expect people to stick to one, but sticking to a few BEST movies seems to stick more to what the OP asked for instead of long lists of movies that were "pretty good" - that is just too easy.

Ping Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Any of the films based upon the novels of Alastair MacLean. My personal favourite is 'Where Eagles Dare'. Watched it over a dozen times and still love it desite it becoming a bit dated. Would love to see a re-make (provided that they don't kill it with 'special effects'). Gone off the films that rely predominantly upon FX to 'sell' - even the light-and-easy Bond films now suffer far too much from almost being 90 minute montages of FX.

quiksilva Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Great list Canuckamuck I like all of what you listed but have crossed out what, for me, doesn't make the cut. Quest for the Holy GrailIndiana Jones 1 Aliens 2 Princess Bride Willow was better Blue Brothers (great but Animal House was funnier) 300 (in a class of its own) High Plains Drifter, Fast times at Ridgemont High, Gods must be crazy 2 Never seen them Casino Royale (the remake) Brilliant movie, still undecided about Daniel Craig as Bond, he has a long way to go to beat Connery in that role Spaceballs Matrix 1 (the other two were a bad dream) Well said but is it the best Sci Fi? Million Dollar Baby Ferris Buellers Day Off Animal House Vacation and would add Henry V, 2001 or maybe Dune (cant decide) and Apocalypse Now. I would love to add a James Bond movie but cant pick one, and then if I compare it to the Bourne Identity my head gets close to exploding, very difficult. UG how do you compare best films. How can 2001 or say Aliens 2, compare to Henry V or Apocalypse Now? Edited July 25, 2007 by quiksilva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best films - like the best books - usually stand alone. I don't think that you can compare them unless they are in the same genres - Apocalypse Now compared to Full Metal Jacket.

Captain Chaos Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Difficult (impossible?) to say which is the "best" ... ... but my personal favourite is The Lords of the Rings part III, The Return of the King, from 2003. Not exactly faithful to Tolkien's book but a top class action adventure none the less. Still get goosebumps watching the scenes during the war between Gondor and Mordor ...
