What is the best movie ever made?

[joenali]

Duh! Dirty Dancing!

[underwaterrhymes]

Philadelphia.

I'm not a Tom Hanks fan, as I said in my other post, but this movie was so important.

If we are talking favorite movies, my response is different. I love Scream and Slumdog Millionaire, but don't feel either are the best movie ever made.

A Christmas Story

[nahoku]

The Sound of Music! It's on tv tonight and I fully intend to subject my family to it.

[W.T.Faulkner]

It's a Wonderful Life

[vanillacourage]

My personal fave is the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice.

[Deleted]

Forrest Gump is my pick.

However, it's not my favorite. My favorite is good will hunting.

Hmmm. Maybe. Classic like sound of music?

Doesn't matter. Forrest Gump is still the best.

[bananapancakes]

I agree with Forrest Gump but Shawshank Redemption is a very close second.

[zoidberg]

Blues Brothers. It has everything. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll tap your foot to the music.

[rosiebear]

It's a Wonderful Life or Casablanca.

[escrow]

Beetlejuice

[Jalapeñomel]

There are too many factors to consider...direction? Acting? Cinematography? Because there are very few, if any, that are stellar in all areas.  And I'm a snob.  Lol

[lg28]

There are so many! There isn't "one". There are at least ten, some of which have been named here.

[irene adler]

Major league.

I have a feeling this is not universal

Hello?? The Godfather Part I and II.

ETA: People seem to be answering "What's you favorite movie?" which is not the question that was asked. That's the only conclusion I can draw based on most of these answers. 

This is correct.

No. I really believe that Blues Brothers is the best movie ever made. It's fantastic.

I mean, they're on a mission from God. And then Aretha Franklin shows up. How could it not be?

EXACTLY. And Ray Charles with a gun? Come on.

[mcsangel2]

Gone With the Wind.

Most epic car crashes of all time. I mean, it wins on that basis alone.

THEY DROPPED A STATION WAGON FROM THE SKY ABOVE THE CITY OF CHICAGO. WITH NAZIS IN IT!

Just TRY and get a permit for that these days.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Jaws

[cuccaro]

Forrest Gump and Dumb and Dumber are what come to my mind first.

[angelaa73]

General concensus is godfather II
but saving private Ryan ranks high in our family

[Dusky]

Princess Bride. I will never be convinced otherwise.

[Deleted]

Casablanca is definitely is one of the very best.

DH and I started watching some of the AFI top 100 films, and I am surprised by how many we didn't like at all. And I am totally a movie snob, so it's the sort of stuff that's right up my alley.

[sequins]

Matrix. The first.

[kayakjenn]

Legends of The Fall followed by Raising Arizona

[bonquiqui]

I suck at picking favorites of anything

[Deleted]

Shawshank Redemption, of course.

Yes! I was just coming in to say Raising Arizona. 


There's what's right, and there's what's right, and never the twain shall meet.

Legends of the Fall is possibly one of the worst movies ever made.
