Greatest Movie of All Time - Group 22

[Misanthrope]

Citizen Kane: A timeless classic.


[FONT=&quot]The Goonies: Only the greatest children's/family movie made in the 1980s.

The Shining: Jack Nicholson is at his chilling best in this Steven King adaptation.

Cool Hand Luke: One of the few 'older movies' to do well in the past two LU's Top 50 Movies, this classic film about rebellion has spawned an entire genre of prison films.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: Westerns have not done at all well so far, can this Robert Redford/Paul Newman classic buck the trend?

Young Frankenstein: Arguably Mel Brooks' greatest achievement as a director, this affectionate parody of the classic horror genre is still enjoyed to this day. May not have aged well, as is common with most of Brooks' work.

The Goonies!11!!!

I mean, come on... loved it as a kid but...

The Shining rocks, Cool Hand Luke is great (although, I dunno, I couldn't help but think of chain gang parodies a la the Simpsons while watching it, and the ending is a bit lol) but, I have to go for Citizen Kane. Probably the only film from that era that your description 'timeless' is truly apt. Other films still hold up, but retain the strong sense of their time, but Citizen Kane seems to me contemporary even today.

Cool hand Luke: Should have won the academy award for best actor...The Greatest ever film...

I went with The Goonies, myself. Of all the movies from my childhood, it's one of the few I've watched after the fact and not felt like I ruined it. Others like Labyrinth, Willow, and most animated ones just felt disappointing. The Goonies stands the test of time.

Goonies for mine, my favourite movie as a kid. Coll hand luke and the Shining we're awesome flicks but The Goonies was the sh*t when i was 10.

The Shining for me : Kubrick, King, Nicholson....cannot fail.

 

[Misanthrope]

The Shining cruises through, and Cool Hand Luke gets through by a nose ahead of The Goonies. Nooooo!
