Best Film

[G@v]

Greatest song? That was hard to name. What are the greatest films ever made and which is your particular favourite, the one you never tire of watching.

I love watching It's a Wonderfull Life, especially the bit where he wishes he had never been born. Goodfellas, a modern day classic. I like the Ealing comedies, the best IMHO was Kind Hearts and Coronets, Alec Guinness at his best! But my favourite is Twelve Angry Men, great drama, great acting.

 

[Bomber]

Braveheart
Schindlers List
The Dish
The Castle
Crocodile Dundee I

Think of a few more later....

 

[legend]

Aliens, The Godfather and The Untouchables. I saw it on tv again last week and realised what a great movie it is. De niro is outstanding as Al Capone. A truly great fim with an excellent scene at the train station with Costner and Garcia.

i remember my saturday night visits to the caloundra strand to watch those 2 movies,i was quite young at the time, i think dad just wanted to get rid of my brother and i for a few hous.

 

[Warrior]

Here are a couple of my favs:
<ul> [*]Saving Private Ryan [*]The Matrix [*]Dogma [*]Seven [*]All the Star Wars movies [yes, even the first one] [*]The usual suspects [*]Pulp Fiction [*]Reservoir Dogs [*]The Sixth Sense [*]Happy Gilmore[/list] yeah, that'll about do it.

 

[imported_Bigbopper]

The greatest movie of all time is Duck Soup. It ran a little more than an hour but it contains so many of the Marx Brothers best routines - the Lemonade Stand, the Mirror, etc.
Groucho (as commander of the army of Fredonia) "Three men and a woman trapped in house under enemy fire - send help immediately. If you can't send help send two more women"
And Margaret Dumont is sensational (as always).

Anything with Victor Mature in it.
('the Robe' included, Mud &amp; Blood)
One down to earth actor.
It's no coincidence that 'mature' and 'manure' sound very similar... such was the genius of the man.

 

[imported_Wayne]

I'm a huge fan of Robin Williams films.

From Good Morning Vietnam to Dead Poets Society most of his movies are excellent.

Tom Hanks has been in some beauties too.
