Greatest Movie of All Time - Group 26

[Misanthrope]

[FONT=&quot]It’s a Wonderful Life: A Christmas staple, this charming tale of a man learning the value of the life he has warms many a heart.

A Clockwork Orange: Arguably Kubrick's most influential work, this film is made by the chilling portrayal of Alex by Malcolm McDowell. Ahead of its time and brutally confronting.

The Green Mile: Another brilliant King adaption from Darabont, The Green Mile is an achingly beautiful story told with clear love from its cast and director. Underrated flick.

Lawrence of Arabia: Considered one of the greatest and most influential films in movie-making history, this epic film starring Peter O'Toole told the remarkable story of T.E. Lawrence and his life as a liason in Arabia.

Lost in Translation: Bill Murray reinvented his career with this film, starring alongside a young Scarlett Johannsen in a film about personal identity and finding happiness in life. Those of us who are lucky enough to have lived abroad can find plenty of familiar feelings in this beautiful film.

This was a tough group to vote for. Four of the films are films I absolutely love, and I've yet to see Lawrence of Arabia, but fully appreciate its importance as a film. I went with Lost in Translation - mostly because it's an underrated film and I think The Green Mile and Orange will both poll well on their own.

Damn, three of my absolute favourites in the same group.

Lawrence of Arabia is the most beautifully shot epic ive ever seen. Unbelieveable film which must have taken so much blood, sweat and tears to realise. David Lean's masterpiece.

A Clockwork Orange - Kubrick's most confronting film. Definately unique for its time because it was so controversial with the ideas it dealt with. And agreed on malcolm mcDowells performance, one of the best ive ever seen.

But, i too will have to go with Lost In Translation. I absolutely love that movie. It fills me with a feeling like no other when watching it. One of those movies where it could only have been made with bill Murray in the lead role...Sophia Ford-Coppola said herself that she wouldnt have made the movie without him. This might sound abit gay but Murray possess the most incredible combination of warmth, charm and vulnerability as an actor. This role was made for him.

Green Mile is a classic, too. Haven't seen It's A Wonderful Life.

I can understand and relate to that. No matter what he is in, you feel a sort of... safety isn't the word. Comfort, I guess.

That's because he plays the same role in every movie. Not a criticism as I love his work. Groundhog Day, Stripes and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou are among my favourites.

The only problem with Lawrence, though an epic hollywood production, is that it is based very 'loosely' upon actual historical fact. The Australian Light Horse did more than they were given credit for. f**k Lawrence.

[HevyDevy]

Damn, I missed it.

I would have gone Green Mile

A Clockwork Orange breezes through, with Lost in Translation edging out The Green Mile for the valuable second spot.
