Greatest Movie Ever

[Lazyhead]

OK, this is kind of a spinoff of the #1 Fav book thread. Now the question is, obviously, what do you think is the greatest movie ever? Or, What is your #1 favorite movie of all time? It's another toughie I know... I am feeling today like mine is--

Rushmore

ok, ok, top 5-- :

Clueless
Shanghai Knights
Desperately Seeking Susan
Groundhog Day

*phew*

[swimswamswum]

Big Lebowski

[REDBREAST]

Malcolm X
Motocycle Diaries
Roots

These are the top three, I know it was suppose to be one, however, I have watched each of these movies over nine times!!!

[Lazyhead]

Wow, you've watched Roots 9 times! That's quite a time commitment. Impressive! I've seen it twice I think. Once voluntarily a few years ago and once in school.

I've always loved the movie "Lost Highway" (David Lynch... that's really all you need to know), but I don't know if I can claim that as the "greatest EVAR". I like different movies for different things... and different moods. /cop-out

So I guess I can't really answer

Mine change all the time - this was my favourite this year:

It has the best jokes about carob and placenta eating although not in the same scene.:

Office Space
Shawshank Redemption

My brain is tired right now. That's all I can think of.

[sincitymama]

Princess Bride
Waiting (it's like clerks for the restaraunt biz, awsome)
Hmm. Brain is fried right now, can't thing of others. :

[mad cow]

Harold and Maude

Wayne`s World

There`s Something About Mary

[GoldBerry]

I love Harold and Maude! I have not watched that in forever!

hmmm, let me think....

Apocalypse Now (because I love the smell of napalm in the morning- not!)
Pride and Prejudice (A&E 1995)
Star Wars (o.k., I know- but I was 7 and it totally rocked my world!)
Bringing Up Baby (I looove Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn- so I also love Philadelipa Story).
Rear Window ( Grace Kelly!)

[sapphire_chan]

in no particular order

Tampopo
A Taxing Woman
Amelie
Princess Bride

[akashapeace]

Oooh difficult one. Can I list a few?

Brokeback Mountain (loved it, loved it)
Stigmata
The Colour Purple
Sophie's Choice
Schindlers List

And I'm a fan of sci-fi too... so I love the Alien films

I'm sure that there is plenty more. But can't think of them right now.

[Lazyhead]

This is so cool. Everybody has such different taste! I think the only repeats are Big Lebowski & Princess Bride. Two excellent movies.

[**guest**]

I'll start my list but I'll have to come back to it because I don't have the time to think right now. heh heh.

Moll Flanders
A Beautiful Mind
Kiki's Delivery Service

[Lazyhead]

My list is seeming so trite to me now. What can I say, I am a sucker for a good comedy. It's harder to do a decent comedy than you think. Other favs:

A Fish Called Wanda
When Harry Met Sally--the PERFECT romantic comedy. It has yet to be matched despite years of trying.

[akashapeace]

Just so I don't sound too serious.. I also LOVE You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

hehe

Ooh, love that movie too. Hmmm, makes me want to see it again.
I think it was that movie that got me into trouble with meeting a guy online and then just up and moving to England to be with him.
