jmkiser 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The Usual SuspectsThe characters in the film where absolutely outstanding and the double twist in the plot created one of THE GREATEST VILLAINS of all time! Also, some of the greatest movie quotes of all time come from this film.Verbal: Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Kiser SozeVerbal: Who is Kiser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And poof. Just like that, he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites

INEC.Just for fun to debate your pick a little bit...When I think of great movie soundtracks, Braveheart doesn't even come to mind.I agree on the cinematography.The direction is good, perfect is a bit of a reach.The plot is standard, nothing that unusual, outstanding, or shocking about it.The acting was pretty good, but there are some very average performances in the there.

Theraflu 1,047 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Everything from the plot to the action to the actors are amazing.Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingFirstly, Two Towers is a better LOTR movie.Secondly, and I do want an answer to this:Have you seen Braveheart?Have you seen Godfather? Godfather II?Have you seen Citizen Kane?Have you seen Pee-wee's Big Adventure?Thirdly, I believe you should have listed The Sentinel, simply citing: Jack Bauer. Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Rule #1 - you can only list one movie.Rule #2 - you can't list any other movies, other than the very best movie ever made... according to you.bleh, this makes the thread silly IMO. There is no such thing as a best film of all time as major films hit at certain times. FOr anyone who has seen a good amount of film, this is an impossible question to answer. I know that I can provide just as many reasons for why Citizen Kane is "the best film of all time" as I can for breathless or the 400 blows or the seven samurai Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 OK, I really think this could/should be a gebre based question, but I'll weigh in with a movie that I don't think others will offer as a choice...The special effects and set design were peerless for its time.The slightly gappy plot simply adds to the mystery of an uncertain ending, creating more questions than it actuially answers (which, for me, is something I love in a screenplay).The acting is excellent, so much so that it's unnoticeable in it's excellenceThe direction is sure-handed and ambiguous at the same time. Drawing us into a dystopian future, Ridley Scott connects us with our lost humanity: replicants who have discovered that they are greater than the sum of their parts, yet cursed with a finite lifespan and an even more grim sentence because they rebelled against their "duty"It combines two of my favorite genres: Film Noir and Sci-FiBladerunner is the best film of all-timeIf you don't like it, I'll "early retire" you.

Zealous Donkey 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 To Kill a Mockingbird is my choice for best movie of all time. A great story told through one of the characters. It drives home several messages involving Racism and it's different forms. It also shows what Moral Charactor and courage are. Mans loyalty to God, his family, and his community/country/mankind. One good man standing up against evil and Gods loyalty to man through the most innocent of human's. " I may not be much Mr. Finch, but I'm still the sherrif of Macom County, and Bob Yule fell on his knife." thats a close quotation, maybe not perfect. Link to post Share on other sites

davezz5 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 In my opinion the best film ever is The Hustler, starring Paul Newman. This film deals with the struggle one man has with his own demons. Also Fast eddie (Newman) has to defeat' the system'. Although his backer Burt Gordon would seem to support Eddie, the reality is Gordon is scared of Eddie's spirit, humanity.Even in victory Eddie loses. After winning he can never play again. The film is a vibrant metaphor of mans struggle against himself and the system. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 69 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 My vote goes to Casablanca. Amazing script, dozens of memorable lines, great acting, beautiful girl, and amazing shooting. Mercury, have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (which Bladerunner was based on)? I like the movie, but the book is so much better. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury, have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (which Bladerunner was based on)? I like the movie, but the book is so much better.You know, I haven't, but it occured to me to do so as I wrote my nomination. BTW, Casablanca may very well be the most perfect movie in existence. Not a single wasted shot or line of dialogue, no missed opportunities to develop and move the plot along, terrific acting, directing editing, screenplay. I'd certainly have nominated Casablanca for best of all-time if I hadn't decided to come from a different angle. Link to post Share on other sites
