Well how can you decide what is the best movie of all times :) We should look back on even B&W movies and rate them according to possibilities that were at hand at that time :)

1. Usual Suspects
2. Braveheart
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. The Green Mile
6. The Lord Of The Rings trilogy
7. Star Wars - sve
8. Nothing To Lose
9. Dreamcatcher
10. LA Confidential
11. The Insider
12. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
13. American History X
14. Starship Troopers (prvi dio samo)
15. Snatch
16. Fargo
17. The Schindler List
18. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

A Clockwork Orange

Stanley Kubrik always impresses me but this is my favorite film, i think its because of the way im always at cross feelings about it.. i love alex even though he is definately not a good guy, but still hes a cool character and i feel bad for him when eveything starts to go wrong..

plus i could quote from it all day

"come and get one in yarbles.. if you've got any yarbles!" hehe, absolute classic :D

Wow. I love soooo many movies. It does change from time to time. I think that if I was really forced to pick. In no specific order.

Jaws_ I like that it left an imprint in most peoples lives to include me. I mean come on. If I am alone in a pool I gotta take a second glance to make sure all is clear. It's really silly. I mean it's a freakin pool. The Story, plot, cinematography, script, acting crew, etc. all top notch. It has one of the most memorable monologues that I have heard.

John Carpenter's The Thing_This has becom one of those recent favs that remeber from way back when, watch again and are still impressed with the quality. I think the score really enchances the film for me. It is so singular and adheres what is going on in the movie to your mind.

George Romero's Dawn of the Dead_ Yeah I know cheesy flick with tons o gore. In truth I like all zombie flicks, but think that this is the best of the lot. While the remake was very close to it... It is not the origional. I like the feeling that it gives you as you watch it. You are watching the world flicker away and there is not much that you can do about it aside from surviving as long as you can.

Okay so those are all pretty much horror movies. Does that mean that I only like those types. Not really. As I said before I love so many and I could spend all year conveying those that I do like and why.
I will cut that down to a varied list. Again in no specific order.
Gladiator
Fire and Ice
Spirited Away
Legend
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Fallen
40 yr old Virgin
Spies Like Us
3 Amigos

See this is not working 1 leads to another through actors.

I think a better ? would be movies we hate and why.
I got 2 right off the bat.

Punch Drunk Love-I am still trying to figure out what it was about but am afraid it will suck away another 2 hrs. of my life force so I will not watch it again

Nacho Libre-The only thing funny about the film was how unfunny it was.

My 3 favourites of all time are.....

Jaws:The first movie i ever saw a the cinema(yes i am that old!)and to me, it is still an amazing movie.I still watch it now.

The Wizard Of Oz:Fantastic movie,when you think of how long ago it was made.Have sat down and watched this with my daughter so many times when she was younger.A real feel good movie.

Schindlers List:Just an amazing piece of movie making.How can you watch this without being moved to tears?

Yeah I agree. It is so hard to figure out "best of all" It is ever changing for me. Thats why I suggested worst. I think that it may make for interesting discussion. Especially if one of em is one that a member likes. It could be fun!
Hey what about Alien? See!!! There are so many.

I would have to say Schindler?s List . It is not only historical, but it left me very humble and awe struck to see what this particular ethnic group of people went through and to think that it could happen again. It is a grim reminder that all sacrifices during war are not the same. I could ramble on about this movie but I won't. It is a very AWESOME movie
