    One is tricky, I’ll opt for Jaws.

    Just watched Up for the first time. First 10 mins and last 10 mins are exceptionally moving, but the rest of the film is only okay (the dogs are especially cool) IMO. It’s making me question some of my values and priorities which has to be a good thing. So all in all, a v good film but not the best … don’t know what is TBF.

    Do you mean “film I have enjoyed the most” or “the film I think is technically the best”?

    Either way, I couldn’t narrow it down to just one, but some suggestions may be:

    Alien
    Shawshank Redemption
    Seven
    Apocalypse Now
    Platoon
    Gladiator

    Platoon, followed by point break, then the last 2 Batman films…. 🙂

    Obvious but I really like Godfather Part II.

    Please no-one say No Country For Old Men. 😐

    You know what I’m going to go with one of my favourites and possibly still my favourite although I’m not sure it still is but anyway.

    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

    Such great characters, beautifully shot, fantastic sets and a great plot.

    Hard one…in recent memory, “best” was There Will Be Blood
    All time favourites are The Princess Bride (even though, technically, it lacks a lot. It’s more a sentimental favourite) and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.

    It’s a close one between Shawshank and tonight’s viewing which was Django Unchained. Gladiator in third.

    Blade Runner is close, but I think the best ‘film’ (inverted commas most definitely needed here*) I have ever seen is Moulin Rouge.

    *by which I mean the most truly film-like film.

    Recently: Tyrannosaur,
    Not so recently: There will be blood,

    I didn’t ‘enjoy’ either but found both to be moving and well acted. If we’re going for enjoyment then its ‘The Lion King’ & all Disney since has been crap.

    Shawshank Redemption by a country mile – effortless from start to end and utterly captivating. Always amazes me that it was written by the same man that brought us The Shining, Carrie, Christine, It…

    The original Matrix was superb. I grew up with the original Star Wars movies, so I guess these have had the most lasting memories for me

    Royal tenenbaums. Its funny, its sad, it makes you think, its beautifully shot, great costumes, great sets, great characters and great soundtrack. One of the first films that made me consider “film” as art as much as entertainment.

    i love that film.

    you are all wrong.
    Best film ever is Once upon a time in the west.

    One of the worst I’ve ever seen terrible film.

    Is that just because you didn’t enjoy it personally, or because it is actually a badly made film?

    I love Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for pure enjoyment, but I rate Goodfellas as my favourite film ever.

    Well, The Godfather part 2 is better than The Godfather for a start.

    Probably One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

    But there are other great films which sometimes are better.

    Is geoffj really saying a semi-amusing pirate film is the best film ever? Blimey, you need to watch some more films matey!
