Best film ever.....

ooh tough one probably when harry met sally its girly but there is some typical male humour in it you just cant help to scowl at any bloke nearby even if he is just passing the window at the time :p but then i absolutely love pulp fiction its just pure madness(y)
 
this is such a hard choise.....

LOTR, deffo no, too sencible and rediculus

Star War, noooooo way, one of my all time worse films, waaaaaay to geeky!



gotta be something like Wedding Crashers, American Pie, Old School etc, something u can espire to, someting to aim for in ur own life lol :D

Dunc
 
American Pie, TBH it has to be number 2, it's kind of like my life at the moment, partying and trying so damn hard to get some action! Except I haven't glued myself to my lil fella, nor have I took one for the team for lesbian action!
 
I think Erin Brokovich because its a true story and just one of those films i can watch over and over though this is subject to change as i think of other films

What film is LOTR?
 
I am surprised that people mention LOTR as a good film, I can't comment since I haven't seen any of them, however, I always find Steve Merchant's comment on this film hilarious:

Gervais and Merchant agreeing with each other said:
I don't get LOTR, so many people love it where as at school you would have been bullied for liking it, see the thing with LOTR is that fine, it has thousands of actors at the same time all doing what they're supposed to. Great, fantastic time management. THe thing is, good time management doesn't impress me

Obviously Die Hard 1 and 3 must be mentioned. I really liked Skeleton key recently, but best film ever?! No.
 
i want to add my list (in no particular order) of films i really liked:

  • The Big Lebowski
  • The Thomas Crown Affair
  • Battle Royale
  • Old Boy
  • Xmen - I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine mmmmmmmmmmm
  • Leon
  • North By North West
  • Initial D

I think clockwork orange is ok and I can now watch it without it making me feel physically sick and I think it has such a modern feel in many ways (ahead of its time?) but best ever? I think it is too "out there" for me to be that.

I have always been a huge fan of good will hunting.
 
Best Film Ever has to be ...............Cool hand Luke , all time classic .
 
Shortly, this is my opinion, I am not trying to persuade anybody who expressed his/her opinion:
I do not like Clockwork Orange. I do not like Stanley Kubrick's movies with the possible exception of "Shining", which is a movie saved by Jack Nicholson's art of acting. I think Kubrick is a (expression used for males using self-satisfaction instead of an intercourse).
For the same reason, I do not like movies by Peter Greenaway.

To bring in a lighter note:
Did someone mention "Casino" by M. Scorcese yet?

I will probably never forget the lines said by Joe Pesci (Nicky):

Got a lot of holes in the desert... and a lot of problems are buried in those holes.
Except you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug... before you show up with a package in the trunk.
Otherwise, you're talking about a half hour or minutes of diggin'.
And who knows who's gonna be comin' along in that time?
Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes.
You could be there all ****in' night.

:D :D :D
 
Ok, I'll admit that A Clockwork Orange is not for everyone and can be very disturbing and repugnant. But it really does have a great storyline, even if it is a bit 'out there' as Paul put it!

There's only one film that made me feel physically sick, and that was David Lynch's 'Eraserhead'. It's a great film in the sense that as horrible as it is you can't stop watching it. Also very disturbing and nauseating, and no I have no idea quite what it was supposed to be about. Yet still I go back and watch it like many other fans of Lynch's films. Strange indeed...

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

no, not what you are thinking, applys to this one:

whereas jules is mainly mouth and threats, with the occasional killing, creasy is a beleiveable one man army, bent on revenge, or more accurately, a chance at redemption, the sheep lost long ago, found and nurtured, brought back a little from the abyss by the most unlikely of people. and when she's taken away the trail of destruction the follows is truely stunning.

righteous, if clint had done this film 30 years ago we'd being saying iconic, as it is it one of denzels finest, and he wears all his talent out there for all to see, ably backed up by dakota fanning, and the ever reliable christopher walken, who once delivered a line that would have been perfect for this film too:
"I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you."
