What is the BEST film you've ever seen?

[jonny.rainbow]

Water ship Down.

 

[FamilyGuy]

This Happy Breed

Noel Coward, David Lean and one of the greatest (small) casts ever assembled ... I watch it every time that it's on TV

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

As a complete film, Inglourious Basterds for me.

 

[Hillian1]

In no particular order.

A Bridge too far
The Thin Red Line
Empire Of The Sun
Twelve Angry Men

Tora Tora Tora.
Rollerball

[Paul Reids Sock]

Mighty ducks was a brilliant film.

Great Shout!

This was a film that must have been watches over a hundred times in my student house.

My favourite has to be Rainman as I think that acting is superb.

I also loved Shutter Island as I have never seen a film that you watch so differently the second time. I think it was really well acted and directed

 

[Goldstone1976]

Blade Runner
Alien
Secretary (*cough*)
Manon des sources

 

[Leighgull]

Zulu.
Jaws.
Close Encounters
The Battle of Britain
Aliens
Dawn of the Dead ( the new one)
28 days later
Terminator 2

 

[Nibble]

Cannot pick just one film so a few of my favourites.

The Return
The Browning Version
Narc
Last Crusade
Planes, trains etc
Harvey
Drive
and many more.

Never saw the fuss with stuff like Inception (clunky dressed up as intelligent), Shawshank (okay, but hugely overrated), Forrest Gump (what?).

 

[Taybha]

Musical = Paint your wagon
Horror = The Entity
Smoochy =Somewhere in time
Comedy = The Jerk
Weepy = The Champ
Action = The Boondock Saints
A single film that changed the way i thought about things and changed my bathing habits = Jaws .

 

[Canonman]

Thought Zulu was a great film.

 

[Leighgull]

Not a great film buff.

Where eagles dare was good, blazing saddles very funny, city of angles, really good, bambi very sad, Harry potter films good, star war films great , but only the first three, original superman films great, most James bond films great, sean Connery ones, but only Skyfall since, bargi on the beach( can't spell bargee) was excellent, dr Faustus scary, dr strange love mad but brilliant, pink panther series, Peter sellars only! Brilliant,

Right, obtuse or acute?

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Dead Man's Shoes

 

[wag chaser]

A close call between Spinal Tap and Life of Brian

 

[Janbha]

One flew over the cuckoos nest

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Right, obtuse or acute?

quadrilateral

 

[Mackenzie]

iD.
Kelly's Heroes.
Star Wars.
The Usual Suspects.
La Cabina.

Nothing deep and meaningful there, just entertainment.

 

[strings]

I really like The Social Network. It is very dialogue heavy, and the dialogue does move very fast, but I think it is a fantastic film.

Another vote for Snatch and Inception and Gladiator - all great films.

I will also throw in Sin City, Pulp Fiction and Skyfall.

EDIT - Quadrophenia too.

 

[Janbha]

quadrilateral

Thats a very good if a little odd film.

 

[Dick Head]

I can't decide. 'Everything is Illuminated', 'The Midnight Cowboy', 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'? You are asking an impossible question.
