I have compiled a poll of many great movies in my mind. If its not on the poll, then just say it and state your reasons.
For me its definitely the Godfather.

A Clockwork Orange.
I voted A Clockwork Orange.
The Godfather is just perfect
The story is amazig, and has just the right blend of action and story. There's not like a ton of violence like A Clockwork Orange.
The music is amazing, which always fits the scene.
The characters are very fleshed-out, and Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone is quite possibly the best acting in any movie ever.
The ending, where scenes of the bosses of the five families being assassinated, intermingled with scenes of the baby being baptized, is epic.
Its a pretty emotional movie, and teaches how important family is.

Brutal scenes like this make you hate Alex, and realize that rough anarchy as such is seemingly more and more possible with the youth of modern times.

This makes you feel sad for Alex.
The music is amazing.
And in the end... you realize that everyone should have a choice in the way they act, even if they're as destructive as Alex. You also realize Alex never really changed.
Plus it has a lot of awesome stuff.
You had to put four movies on that list that are just epic, didn't you?
I cannot choose between Inception, Godfather Part II, ESB or Schindler. There's no way, you just cannot make me do it. All four movies are just too good to be true, especially ESB and Godfather. Schindler is so emotional and Inception is beyond head twisty. There's no way to choose for me![]()
I just voted Godfather Star Wars is good to but after you see it a bazillion times it gets old. Half of the other movies I haven't heard of or seen.
Godfather 2 for mine, one of the few sequels out there that can actually out do the original and thats saying something considering just how good the first is.
jaja ,these fillms I have never seen before.
Pulp Fiction gets my vote, its a cult classic
Aaaaaarghhhh...... too.... difficult.... to choose....
*Head explodes*
I guess I did a good job on the poll, considering everyone's favorite is on it.
There's so many great movies out there, I'm not sure that I could chose a definitive 'Best Movie Ever' but I think the one that's been the most influential to me as a film maker currently is Christopher Nolan's Memento. Again, I'm not saying this is the best movie of all time, I'm merely stating that it's been very influential to me as an artist and simply as a movie fan. It's a movie that I can watch over and over again without growing tired of and I feel it gains something with each successive viewing rather than losing anything.
It's about a man with short-term memory loss who is trying to track down his wife's killer and get revenge, however, one of the things that makes the movie so unique is that the story is told backwards so that the audience is forced to experience the events not knowing what happened prior to what you're viewing, essentially putting you in the shoes of the protagonist.
No Lord of the Rings?But I voted The Godfather, that's a good second choice.
Where the HECK is Rocky Horror Picture Show?!?
Adding a poll was a dangerous move. The odds of everyone thinking that one of the few movies you put up there is the best movie ever is just about zero...
EDIT: After looking at the rest of the thread, it turns out I'm wrong. ._.
On the poll, my favorite's Inception, but my all time favorite film is The Dark Knight. I've seen it at least 20 times, and instead of it getting boring, I get excited watching my favorite parts and characters.
I gotta say, Yellow Submarine is my favorite cartoon movie, and quite possibly my favorite musical.
MEH
Where're Capote, To Kill A Mockingbird and Brokeback Mountain?
What do you mean??
Saw me coming??
It's true though, *sigh*
Brokeback was ok, Philidelphia was better for what it was. I honestly feel that Heath Ledger didn't start acting until the Dark Knight, which is very sadAnd I've never liked Jake Gyllenhal.
I'm biased towards Brokeback Mountain. It is one of the ultimate new age gay movies. One of them. I'm totally biased, and even though I DID enjoy the film, the only reason I glorify it is because of the earlier reason.
Poor Heath Ledger. He was epic in Dark Knight.....
and I don't like Jake at all.
I voted for Clockwork Orange, but Schindlers List and On Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest are really great movies also. The Shining is the best horror movie ever made.
There was a movie called "Letters from Iwo Jima," when I first watched it it was a very touching movie that was from the perspective of the Japanese. That one was my favorite of all time. Although I do like all of the ones on this poll.
They're all good choices to put in a poll, and he said if your personal favorite isn't there, just put it in your post.
One Flew Over was excellent in many ways, but it probably isn't my favorite movie EVER. ESB doesn't really need to be discussed at all since its scale of epicness is just sort of "known" by all automatically. Inception was great, too - I wonder how long it'll remain THAT fresh in my head though. It was a pretty recent release in comparison to the other contenders on the poll; as well as any other choices listed by other posters already.
I really don't know. ESB is up there, I loved Goodfellas, The Departed...
I don't really prefer to say I have a single movie that is just my absolute favorite. I still have a few in my library that I need to finish - maybe they can take that spot for me.![]()
im gonna say the original star wars trilogy.
i grew up with star wars and loved it,and it never gets old for me.
Of this list, Godfather II.
Shindler's List, it's very inspirational. Makes me wish I was a Death Camp guard. Wait....
Star wars i think ....!
