Best Movie Ever Thread

[arizona_cards_11]

I would have to say Gladiator is my favorite movie ever.......but, there are so many good ones, it's just hard to tell.

[JesterCST]

Scarface, Godfather 1&2, Highlander, Shinning, Full metal Jacket, Platoon, to many to name!!!

[Portland Card]

To Kill A Mockingbird . . . IMHO

[BigDinGlenDale]

The Boondock Saints, Dirty Harry (and Magnum Force), The Indian Jones Series, and The Emporers Club.

[NJCardFan]

The Boondock Saints, Dirty Harry (and Magnum Force), The Indian Jones Series, and The Emporers Club.

Well, as for the Indiana Jones series, 1&3 were good while Temple of Doom was, meh.

As for best movie ever, hard to say but my personal favorites were Godfather 1&2, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, and The Natural.

[mahill3]

Shawkshank Redemption

Movie series - band of brothers

[BigDinGlenDale]

The Boondock Saints, Dirty Harry (and Magnum Force), The Indian Jones Series, and The Emporers Club.
****...the no edit button. That should be, The Indiana Jones Series.:thumbsup:

[arizona_cards_11]

I love To Kill a Mockingbird and The Shawshank Redemption

[Mookie]

The Natural, The Party (with Peter Sellers), Field of Dreams

[NJCardFan]

Shawkshank Redemption

Movie series - band of brothers

Band of Brothers wasn't a movie series per se. That was more like a mini-series on HBO.

[arizona_cards_11]

Jeremiah Johnson is also one of my favorites

[AussieCardinal]

There are many different ways to classify a good movie so this is no simple question. There is the overall quality of the film, which brings to mind the Godfather series, or there is entertainment value which would lean more towards Indiana Jones. Different types of movies have different expectations.
Maybe not the best, but right now my favorite movie is "Armageddon". Great combination of action. excitement, emotion, special affects, characters, etc. I have seen that movie a few dozen times and it is still an enjoyable experience every time.

When Harry pushes that button and takes one for the team, I gotta step outside for a walk every time, LOL.:biggrin:

Chris Tucker was hillarious, Cube was good. I must of watched this movie a 100 times and still is a great movie.

I totally agree man . I never get sick of watching that movie. For entertainment value that movie has to be way up there in my book . I am also a huge fan of the movie American History X. Very intense movie.

[okcardzona]

All time favorite is the Sting. Great movie

[Cardzfan]

For me it is Shawkshank Redemption. Great movie!

[BullheadCardFan]

Godfather series ... Animal house

[cardinals4ever]

[SIZE="2"][B] THE LORD OF THE RINGS 1,2,&3

[BullheadCardFan]

That sure was funny when he smoked that wet daddy and ended up in the chicken coup ... and when Bernie Mac went over to see the midgets wife ... :biggrin:

Funny movie ... I like Next Friday and Friday after Next also ... though not as much as the first one ...

[AussieCardinal]

although there are better films that i like, i have to give a mention to Seven. That movie was solid throughout! and Pitt and Freeman worked really well together.

[spokanecardfan]

That was the most messed up ending to a movie that I have ever seen . He would never go to prison in a case like that .

[NJCardFan]

He may or may not. He definately won't be a cop anymore because for one he violated just about every rule on use of force. Most likely, he won't be prosecuted and he(Mills) will be pensioned out...and would get lots of psychiatric help.

[Reckon]

My bakers dozen (without thinking it over all that much) would be:

Field of Dreams
Being There
It Happened One Night
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Double Indeminty
The Sting
Lillies of the Field
The Flim-Flam Man (I wish they would put this one on DVD!!!)
The Producers
Born Yesterday
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Napoleon Dynamite
Dumb and Dumber

[AussieCardinal]

im assuming ur taking about Mills character?

[SULLY]

id say boondock saints is number one followed by super troopers(super funny) and of course jerry maguire:Cards logo:

you can't even compare the other two to the first one. Second just didnt cut it without Tucker, Then cube butchered it with the third installment.


Forrest Gump

Star Wars & Lord Of The Rings for series.

Band Of Brothers was worth all my dvr space!!! I am now gonna buy the dvd box set (99.99 or something though!:banghead:

[CardinalForever]

It depends on the genre

horror - Day of the Dead (remake best zombie flick of all time)
Jaws I
drama - Rocky I and Rocky II ( both excellent)
comedy - Tommy Boy (Chris Farley/ David Spade were both hilarious)
war - Saving Private Ryan (The first 15 minutes in phenomenol)
Action adventure - Star Wars (the original)
musical - Sound of Music

[House~of~Cards]

horror - Poltergiest I
drama - Meet Joe Black
Comedy - Caddyshack I (anything with Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, or Dan Akroyd is great, except caddyshack II)
war - Saving Private Ryan
Action adventure - Pulp Fiction
musical - Moulin Rouge

[Mibrilane #56]

[cardinals4ever]

LOTR:toothorn:

[Mibrilane #56]

LOTR:toothorn:
Which reminds me, I forgot a genre:

Fantasy: THE LORD (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/) OF THE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/) RINGS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167260/) (2001 - 2003)

Sure that's three movies, but they were made as one movie and the whole thing is probably the greatest fantasy tale anyone is ever going to put on film.
