What do you think are the best miovies ever? I'll give a few of mine Perfect World, Scent of a woman, Rain man, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Bufor which is an Israeli movie, Into the wild. From the movies before my time Lawrence of Arabia, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Escimo Limon at least the 1st. Cep o no Cep (sp? it's french), The Brazilian movie in hebrew it's translated as the city of god - won the oscar, I really liked Searching for Sugarman and also Almost Famous that I actualy watched when I was writing for an Israeli entertainment Journal, if you watched the movie you'd understand why it's relevant, I could think of more but these are really my favorites
It kind of depends. There are a lot of films that moved me deeply and/or that I recognize were truly great movies, but that I would not want to watch again. So I'm going to categorize this as "movies I could (and have) watch again and again" It Happened One Night Some Like It Hot Any Monty Python movie (but Life of Brian is best) Billy Liar The Hidden Fortress My Neighbor Totoro Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Evil Dead II The Thing (John Carpenter one) American Werewolf in London Just about any Hitchcock, but especially the 39 Steps, Young and Innocent, The Lady Vanishes, Foreign Correspondent, any Cary Grant one, Shadow of Doubt, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, The Birds, Psycho
Some like it hot is one of my father's favorite movies and I watched it with him once, it's a nice movie, but I've seen it only that one time. Still remember parts of it, that I liked Jack Lemon and Walter Mathew and especially one particular joke that made my father laugh. I used to watch many movies with him as a child but I don't get to do it as much anymore. Don't watch as many movies in general also. ah, thought of another classic - The movie with Leve Tyler and Rene Zelwegger in a record store - Empire Records. This reminds me of Jerry McGwire and then Moneyball. Money so the wolf of wall street with LeonarDiCaprio, amazing
you know a movie I liked that is kind of bizzar - the movie with Holly Hunter and William White (or Wright?) that they're making a news TV show, also Lorenzo's Oil of course. I'm a medical researcher, and also Outbreak which is also about medicine and also The Client which is also with Susan Serendon
Billy Wilder's Stalag 17 and Sunset Boulevard. Two incredible movies. Godfather 1 and 2. Goodfellas. Blues Brothers. Greatest car chase movie ever.
Citizen Kane Casablanca The Wizard of Oz Its a Wonderful Life North by Northwest Vertigo Rear Window The Third Man 12 Angry Men Godfather films Scarface Fargo Schindlers list One Flew over the Cukoos nest Some like it hot Gone with the wind Taxi Driver A Clockwork Orange 2001 a space oddessy Bladerunner Star Wars Monty Python The Breakfast Club Unforgiven Good, Bad, and the Ugly Chinatown The sound of music Silence of the lambs Shawshank Redemption Pulp Fiction Jaws The Shining Pyscho
I didn't watch any of Sly's films, watched the wizard of oz, fargo, Schindler's list, gone with the wind, the sound of music and pulp fiction - all great movies
Top Of My Head: Tokyo Story Citizen Kane Playtime The Bicycle Thief Stalker The Seventh Seal The Godfather Chinatown The Gold Rush A Clockwork Orange The General 2001: A Space Oddysey Pulp Fiction The Apu Trilogy (Panther Panchali, Aparajito, The World of Apu) The Red Shoes Breathless M Andrei Rublev Seventh Samurai I would put Andrei Tarkovsky as my favorite all time director. He's the only director I ever saw who's films seemed to be totally beyond any commonly familiar film oeuvre. Stanley Kubrick feels like a mathematician making films. Tarkovsky feels like a poet trying to create a new language.
I feel you'd like the Shining. I'm watching it for the 2nd time (the 1st I vaugely remember, thus re-watching it) and I'm really enjoying it. I'm watching it in parts because of time constraints, but the build-ups in this movie are top tier for sure.
Wow. Top of my head - not sure if best movies ever but ones I always check out when they rerun: Wizard of Oz Silence of the Lambs (and read both books) Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (read all books and got pissed off when author died) Godfather 1 & 2 Schindler's List Diary of Anne Frank Rear Window The Birds 9 to 5 Maltese Falcon (despite retro sexism) The Hands of Orloc Color Purple (book was better, though, too much added in and/or taken out but Whoopi Goldberg amazing) Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid (will now forever remind me of doomed kittens) All the President's Men Hard Day's Night (Help! not nearly as good) I'm SURE I'm leaving out something so obvious that when someone else votes for it I'll say oi vey am I getting senile?
Chinatown,Saving Private Ryan, The Illusionist, Fargo, The Birds, Psycho, Schindlers list, Allied, The Red Violin, Bullit, One Flew over the Coo coos nest, Monty Python movies, Unforgiven, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Pulp Fiction, Jaws (first one), The Battle of Britain, The Longest Day, The Day the Earth stood Still-Original and Keanu Reeves, Plan B from Outer Space and more...
Patton The Longest Day Tora! Tora! Tora! Apocalypse now Fury One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest The Shootist True Grit Gone With The Wind Pulp Fiction The Big Labowski Guardians of The Galaxy 48 Hours The Great Escape
Your talking about the Kubric Version right? I didn't care for the remake\tv movie. I have seen the shining many a time. Its interesting that Stephen King actually detests the Kubric Version. I love it. Jack Nicholson should have recieved a nomination for it. Shelly Duvall as well.
