The very best all time movie ever

This is a rigorous serious question. In any category, it doesn't matter, what is the number one best movie ever made? My vote goes to the Wizard Of Oz.

I always liked Ran for some reason.

Unforgiven.

by **PenultimateManStanding** » Mon 21 Feb 2005, 18:26:43

Unforgiven was a marvelous movie. I recall the scene where Lou Gosset is questioning Clint about how he gets his rocks off, does he go into town? does he use his hand? Clint just gives an enigmatic grin and doesn't answer the question of his best friend except to say he doesn't miss that aspect of life with his beloved wife. The movie seemed to me to be about the ability of sexually stagnant man to kill. Any thoughts ayoob? For me, I know that the final scene where he kills in the salloon is exhilarating, truly cathartic if you ask me.

Chinatown. Dir. Roman Polanski. Jack Nicholson. Faye Dunaway.

"Forget about it, it's Chinatown."

The powerful get away with everything. Good people die. No one can do anything about it. It's a P. O. prophesy.

Chinatown was such a Freudian movie. How can anyone question the influence?

Ayoob, I've been posting here on this website for months now and have come to feel a kinship with some of you, you and madpaddy and mindfark seem to be people that I like without really knowing why. It certainly isn't politics.

Interesting that you didn't think of sex while watching it umpteen times. The scene I mentioned is a pivotal scene that provides the psychological core of the movie.

Too many movies to choose from!
I just watched "Man on Fire". It was great! It is now in my all time top 10 favorites.
The beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan was the best scene of any movie.
The first Matrix movie has to be my all time favorite (at least for now).

Man on Fire was good, but the ending kinda sucked. [spoiler]

It woulda been a lot cool if D.W. just killed the drug dealer and all his cronies in a gun fight and then died with like 14 bullet wounds. Absolute badass. [/spoiler]

My favorite movie has to be Space Odyssey 2001. That movie simply kicks ass.

Fight club.

Easily accelerates the yearning knowledge that living in a PO world, really is, after all, banal.
