The Best Movie You Ever Saw

[jasreeve17]

This has been done so many times before, but one will play along!

Betty Blue, she is just amazing, what a sexy loon!

100% agreement from I.

I also thought that Last of the Mohicans was a great movie and soundtrack.

[peter991]

It has to be Gone With The Wind, but my personal favourite is still Silence Of The Lambs.

Peter

[kdvsn]

Pulp Fiction.

[Swelters]

Thought The Deerhunter was the best of the Vietnam crop. Many of the background cast were recruited in and around the Sukhumvit area in BKK, taxi drivers etc.

My Thai wife's picks of many we've seen are "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Pride and Prejudice". Seem odd but the Thai are very sophisticated in matters of family and neighborhood politics.

[garro]

Fight Club

The Commitments (a bit dated now)

Trainspoting

The Crying Game

[lampard10]

In no particular order:

Excalibar

That's one I forgot in the previous thread

Heaven & Earth

Alien

Witchfinder General

The Princess Bride

Blade Runner

The Duellests

Gladiator

Aeroplane

Lord of the Rings

The Thing

The Andromeda Strain

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Gotcha

Rio Bravos

The Outlaw Josey Wales

The Never Ending Story

The third in the Vietnam Trilogy (After Platoon & Born on the Fourth of July)

If your wife loved this movie, which was very good, you owe it to her to get her the book. One of the best ever.

I'll add "In The Heat Of The Night" (although I love most of Sidney Potiers movies) and "The African Queen" as among my favorites

[PeaceBlondie]

Speaking of Sidney Potier, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was a classic with an all-star cast. And lest I forget the Princess of Monaco, Cole Porter's adaptation of "The Philadelphia Story" - "High Society" also had an all star cast, with Sinatra and Crosby singing a duet, and Louis Armstrong.

[soundman]

Someone reminded me of it in another thread.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine & Steve Martin playing Ruprect the monkey was a barrel of laughs.

Also The Money Pit featuring Tom Hanks was a riot!

Soundman.

[Fred Sanford]

I just saw "dear frankie", great movie. also agree that "pride and prejudice" was great. To sir with love was a great Portier movie

[JimsKnight]

I don't have a single best movie as such, these few spring to mind though:

Legends of the Fall

300

Sin City

Alien

Aliens

Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Uncommon Valour

[lazeeboy]

saving ryans privates

the dirty dozen 1968

[trianglechoke]

saving ryans privates

the dirty dozen 1968

It's called "Shaving ryans privates" " not saving"................any way,

1)Star wars all 6 epsodes running as one is the best then

2)Dolly and Burt in 9 to 5

3)Watership down

4)The A-team feature lenth episode

5)I spit on your grave

[chinthee]

Another correction, it's "Savouring Ryan's Privates." Being as how Matt Damon was Ryan, probably true for lots of the fans.

Best 3+: Apocalypse Now; Godfather 1,2,3; Being There.

[lannarebirth]

Not the best movie I ever saw, but one I really enjoyed, was "The Man Who Would Be King" Kipling, Huston, Connery and Caine. Hard to go wrong.
