Best movies of all time

OK, I'll start with my top two movies (joint number one).

Not The Big Lebowski?

  - Love this one:



And this one:

Not The Big Lebowski?

ah heck, good call, Eddie.  

My memory is fecked.  I knew I'd forgotten something. 

Can't beat the dude and his gang.....and that tumbling weed. 

- Love this one:



And this one:

I must try and see Heat, ayrton.  And been so long since I caught Withnail.

Must say that I am not a big Al Capacino fan (he was awesome in the 70s, Godfather era)

Al's earlier films were the best. Recently, scripts have been written for him in such a way that he has become to a certain point a stereotype of himself, if that makes any sense. The spontaneity and originality of his performances has burnt out because of that, but he's still a class act.

One of my all-time favourites :

I agree, ayrton, Pacino sort of turned into a caricature of himself over the last 20 or so years.  All that hoo-haa stuff.  His best stuff IMHO is in the 70s and 80s.

Wow, great to see another who loves Stand By Me!  Good call.  I had forgotten all about that one.  I love that type of movie.  I must say I am sorta feeling isolated with most modern movies, and all the CGI, blue screens and computer enhanced movies.  I guess I am old fashioned.  I love stories and character based movies.  (tho I do love good action movies, with appropriate CGI work).

GREAT GREAT movie.  Bruce at his best.

Die Hard is a classic action film, one of the best! I love the bit at the start, after the plane's landed, when bruce says something like "Son of a bi*ch, fists with your toes!".

Another classic:

Great Die Hard line, ayrton!  I also loved where he's trying to evade the baddies, has nearly fell down a lift shaft; and is now crawling inside a metal ventilaition system, and he mimics his wife's invite down to that LA Christmas get together.  [huddled in an air vent, John McClaine  pulls out his lighter, flicks it on, and recalls his wife's invitation] "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...”

Good call re All the President's Men

Here is another classic Hoffman movie:

Im going to have to say the matrix is my favourite movie ever

I love horror movies, there's nothing better then being scared by a film. Most would never fit in the catagory all-time classic, though one exception is The Exorcist! I remember going to see it at the cinema for it's 25th anniversary and loving it! And if we're talking about best film quotes, then "Your mother sucks cocks in Hell!" has to be up there with the best!



Another I like very much, but isn't a classic, is The Lost Boys! When I was a kid, I loved all those films where kids got in crazy situations and the adults wouldn't believe them, so they had to sort everything out themselves! A couple of others in this style were The Goonies and Fright Night!

The Lost Boys



The Goonies



Fright Night

My best movie would have to be New Jack City. Gangs, Violence and Drugs what more could you ask for

I love this movie, all about drinking, smoking and having a good time 

Actually i remove the matrix as my favourite movie and replace it with:

the shawshank redemption

Btw i just realised how hard it is to spell redemption, is that even right?

I urge people who haven't seen it to watch "Bubba Ho-Tep" - Film.

Basic premise is - An aging Elvis (Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead Fame) in an old folks home being helped by a black JFK (Ossie Davies) in a wheelchair to fight a 3000 year old egyptian mummy who sucks peoples souls out through their a***holes. 
Now if that premise doesnt entice you to watch it i dont know what will.

Top 5 films in order are

1) Quadrophenia - can't be beat
2) The Great Escape - a must see for everyone
3) McVicar - another film by The Who. Great story.
4) Porride the film - greatest ever british sitcom and the film is funny throughout
5) Stand By Me - "yeah great story I just didn't like the ending" (quote from the film for those who don't know it)

Star wars

Transformers ----------- What a class show.

GONE WITH THE WIND

top film!

Scarface, absolute classic you cockaroach!

The rs only one for me and that's ZULU a brilliant account of 200 Welshmen holding off thousands of Zulus just after wiped out an entire English regiment of 2000 men.
