Just watched Cool Hand Luke.
Haven't seen it in a few years. I remember it being good, but seriously...
I kinda really like Papillion but compared to the book It so inferior I couldn't say It was the best film ever. I really like City of God and Life is beautifull , but for a feel good movie Plains , trains and automobiles is Ace.
one flew over the cookoo's nest Jack Nicholson.
EPIC
Put me off eggs for a while...

guns n roses?
Always loved cool hand luke, Paul Newman is probably the coolest man that ever lived.
Planet of the Apes for me.
A modern classic, and completely subjective, but The Big Lebowski for me. Brilliant.
Planet of the Apes for me.

I've just bought Papillon on the back of seeing the film (yes, I know), but (the film) isn't as good as Cool Hand Luke if we're talking about heart rending depictions of what it means to never, ever be broken. There is nothing sadder than the inevitability of one good man being beaten by a corrupt, complacent society.
Shawshank Redemption for me.
Shaun of the Dead is on ITV2 now!
Shawshank, good, but not that good.
Shaun of the Dead: really? Good film, but not a life questioning work of crushing beauty.
Well I'm enjoying it 🙂
The Departed then!
Obviously it's personal but I thought lebowski was rubbish
Fight club or memento for me. Both very clever films. YMMV.

Hitler. Worse. Than.

+ so many 1's
Needs a few watches, you spend the first time trying to understand the point of everything but by the 2nd time you just go with the flow and it's sheer brilliance and majesty is revealed.
Up
First 10mins anyway.
"Old Joy" is a sad old man's film that may make you sad, or happy in a sad way. It's probably not the best film ever, but it's better than Hitler.
Satantango is the best film ever - a "life questioning work of crushing beauty"
The Departed then!
I like The Departed, it's a good film, but surely you're not saying it's the best film in over a century of cinema?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Yes! I keep telling people to watch it. One of my fave films.

You're all wrong - Tremors is the best movie ever made.
Planet of the Apes for me
what we've got here is, failure to communicate. One man who just can't see...
the crow (r.i.p brandon lee)
Leon
The Great Escape
The Italian Job
If you don't have them in your collection - then there's something wrong...
lucky number slevin, fight club. Star wars - a new hope, Godfather 2, goodfellas, the great escape, the italian job, seven samurai, seven, and finding nemo (seriously!)
Bit of a cliche but Godfather Part II easily beats all these suggestions IMO.
Planet of the Apes (the original one) is a total classic though.
Big Lebowski is enjoyable in the way all those Coen brothers knockabout caper style films are but it's not anything amazing. People think it's cool to say you love it though. 😉
You are all wrong except for you :-

Toy Story 3!
Lebowski was rubbish
Your either a nihilist.... or a carpet pisser.

No you're right Samuri it's utter crap but it's cool to pretend it's great.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is still creeps in a my favourite.
Schindlers list is hard to beat, if a
little depressing i think its a film everybody should see.
Others are Pulp Fiction, Star wars a new hope and Scarface (which i must have seen 200 times!)
speed... that bus in that film deserved an Oscar for it, was easily the best leading role actor that year, practically carried the rest of the cast on it own!. sorry for the rant but the injustice of it all still annoys me.
No you're right Samuri it's utter crap but it's cool to pretend it's great.
Friggin' reverse [s]hitlers[/s] hipsters.
I watched the big lebowski when my mate pulled out a DVD and said "watch this" at that point I had never heard of it or the Cohen brothers. So yeah my opinion of saying "that was the best film ever" was obviously biased by thinking I would look cool 😉
Plus I got a copy in the £2 tesco bargain bin, so must be really cool.
Completely out of sync with all my other favourite films, but Moulin Rouge.
(Tremors isn't a bad call though).
Con air
Out and out the best film ever
Not very xmasy but 'Dead Man's Shoes' (possibly).
Shawshank is up there with the best.
There can only be one answer
Cowboys vs Aliens
Pee wee hermans big adventure! Ha
Fargo. End of thread.
Cowboys vs Aliens
Great concept, but dreadful film.
