Best Movie of ALL TIME

[drivemytrabant]

I think most snooty movie critics say Citizen Cane or Gone with the Wind. But what say you blue crack dwellers?

1. Henry V (branagh's version)
2. Barton Fink

My personal favourite is Jurassic Park, came out at just the right moment to keep the interest in Dinosaurs that I as a kid had there and that has made paleontology somewhat of a calling ever since.

I have to agree that Raders is a superior film - I got my modified A2 bomber jacket and that has served me well.

I say "Citizen Kane" as well, but I also have the education of a "snooty movie critic." The film is absolutely brilliant and well ahead of its time.

Here's the rest of my top 5:

2) Three Colors: Red
3) Three Colors: Blue
4) Vertigo
5) Cremaster 2

I've also got a soft spot for "Kill Bill," but can't justify it as a "great" yet...lol.

I won't agree with the movie, but Marlon Brando is definitely one of the greats, if not *the* great. His contributions to the evolution of acting are immeasurable.

[If you shout...]

The Seven Samurai by the greatest of all time: Akira Kurosawa.

In my opinion, there is less than no room for argument on this matter. If we're talking American cinema, though, I would have to side with Kershner's The Empire Strikes Back. Rock on.
