No but it's a great, great movie. Just turn to TNT at anytime, I'm sure it'll be on.
-
Its is probably a film that appeals to a bigger range of people than most others. Also it is an excellent and well made film.
-
It's a great film without a load of shitty, unrealistic female characters fucking it up.
-
Never heard of it.
-
Godfather I and II are just below it, but both better if you ask me.
-
Never heard of it.
Are you "Merican?
-
One of the best, for sure.
The reason I vacationed in Zihuatanejo, which is a great destination.
-
Good movie, but not even close to being the greatest movie. There is no such thing as "The greatest movie" because it is all subjective.
-
Godfather I and II are just below it, but both better if you ask me.
Probably agree but I'd have Goodfellas at my top!
-
I always classed Shawshank and godfather as my number 1, way before imdb even existed, with pulp fiction and goodfellas a tier below.Never understood the fascination with Godfather 2 though, its a good film but all the Cuba shit in its really drags it down.
-
300
Bloodsport
Blade 2
Troy
Flame on................. ;D

6. Once Upon a Time in America
7. Midnight Cowboy
8. Midnight Run

Bearing in mind this was made in the mid 60's nothing comes close IMO...speaks volumes to a subconscious level of the mind without the need of a lot of dialogue.

Greatest? No. Damn good? Yes.
-
It's pretty damn good.
I shed a tear at the end every time.
Admit it, you do too!
-
I thin pulp fiction is the best movie ever made.If you are into gangster flicks scarface is the best. Id take it over the godfather 1 and 2. except for at the end when his sister wants tony to fuck her that was kind of weird!Americann Gangster is another movie that is on my list just because I like movies that are based on true events. Best movie I have seen in awhile is american gangster. Still Pulp fiction has it beat and is a well done film. quentin does not put out garbage.
-
I would argue that The Wizard Of Oz might be the greatest movie of all time. Every single kid of every generation knows that movie!
-
The Matrix
-
The Matrix
Generation Australianess........... . :P
-

Incredibly disturbing. HATE that movie. It gave me nightmares as a kid.
I thin pulp fiction is the best movie ever made.
Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.

Mary Poppins was better.
I would fuck her till her pussy was raw 8)
but shawnshank is right up there on the list. along with schindler's list.
The Pianist was right up there too.
and Debbie Does Dallas.

Please dont confuse imdb rating with quality
-
Please dont confuse imdb rating with quality
I find it accurate in most cases.
Films with a score of 6 and below are to be avoided from me.
-
that is the most bullshit list of great movies i have ever seen. lord of the rings in the best of all time list ::)
-
kingdom of heaven .
best movie
best soundtrack
-
nope. Take into consideration that it sold poorly when it came out in cinemas.
I have no better choice, but I don't think Shawshank is the greatest movie ever.
-
nope. Take into consideration that it sold poorly when it came out in cinemas.
LOL
because commercial success proves something?
If you go by the same token consider that once Shawshank went on video it became the most rented film of all times
-
i say it s one of the best, but for me the best movie is the godfather
also love pulp fiction and reservoir dogs
-

Fine, i dont. There are a huge number of movies that dont get exposure, get discovered.
I also dont think an oscar or what a heavy influenced judging panel thinks equates with quality.
Example crash. Mainstream pc crap that is apparently "great". Oh brother.
-
If you want a more accurate list, check the AFI's top 100:

ha... I don't know if Crash was PC, I agree though it was overrated.
Some highly-rated films are only so because they address issues highly specific to american culture
For example, in the States everybody is so obsessed with race that such a film was guaranteed far more attention than it deserved.
-
Shawshank was and still is a great film and deserves to be up there. Other favourites of mine are Midnight Express, Gladiator, and Goodfellas. I can't believe I still haven't seen any of the Godfather films! :-\
-
i have watched it countless times so it must be the greatest :D
-

You're in for a treat, then. Watch them (1 and 2. avoid 3, please) first for the plot, to get that straight, and then watch them again to appreciate everything else. Stunning.
-
The Shining really should be higher!

Very good movie. Anyone interested in history/crusades should watch this.

The theme in that movie was so amateurishly overstated and to base a whole movies story and characters on one aspect like racism is banal. Like you described a "sure thing". It should have won an award for Best timing or Best exposure strategy.
There are so many sofisticated ways to adress the race issue, even Avatar did that better!
-
Leon is a great film!
I have never seen Godfather films either.
-

me too lol!

Idk why everyone gets their vag all slimy over Shawshank. It's a good movie, good acting etc, but basically just another feelgood flick. Talk about a vomit inducing Hollywood ending.
-
Ridley Scott fan.
I didn't realize it, but you are right.
My other favorite (not so much favorite to watch, but I feel it was a masterpiece) is the original Alien.
-
It's a fantastic movie. It really is. Great narrative, it moves along at a great pace. Very smart movie.

Good yes but what makes it the best ???

He was crawling to freedom through 600 yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine when the after breakfast wave hit him. Four thousand inmates had simultaneously evacuated their bowels and flushed away four thousand turds of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine. I picture Andy Dufrane bodysurfing that wave of excrement toward freedom, with joy in his heart, before being pinned against the varmit cage at the end of the pipe, turd after turd beating him in the back of the head. I like to think he knew which was mine. I miss my friend Andy.

If I hear so much as a mouse fart in here this thread the rest of the night I swear by God and sonny Jesus you will all visit the infirmary. Every last guy in here.

It was written by Stephen King, alot of ppl forget that.
-
SOme damn fine movies mentioned above, but I just saw a couple that may not be on anyone's Best List but were damn impressive none-the-less.
I have a feeling that most of you GetBiggers have never seen either of them though.
Arena - Fighters kidnapped and held captive and forced to fight to the death for an underground "TV" network that is broadcast via the internet. Good story, good fighting, and a damn good ending.
Chronicles - How three teenagers handle their newly acquired super-powers. It's a small independent but some in Hollywood say it's the best super-hero movie ever made.
-
I shouldn't have forgotten Full metal jacket, Some Like it Hot and Taxi Driver.
-
I would argue that The Wizard Of Oz might be the greatest movie of all time. Every single kid of every generation knows that movie!
And the hidden meaning in that movie is above and beyond anything ever made.
-
It may take a while for people to fully embrace it, but Titanic was an excellent movie.
Cheesy as shit....but a really good movie.
-
Remember the Titan

excellent filmmaking. that's one of those cases where mainstream and quality coincides

Yep....and years from now people will also realize "Jerry Maguire" was the great love movie of a generation.
-
Very good movie. Anyone interested in history/crusades should watch this.
Great film, but could have been an excellent one had there been a lead actor in there instead of a metrosexual pretty boy with a bland, one dimensional acting style
Interesting to see a film's star outacted by just about every member of the support cast
-
No. HTH.

One of my faves for sure. Mel Gibson always nails war movies.

I'm surprised there is not more Getbig votes for "Road House"....
;D
-
"Chinatown" should be in the top 10.
-
"Chinatown" should be in the top 10.
Great film. Also think Raging Bull deserves a mention.
I also have to admit to having a huge liking for "Boyz in da Hood" (by no means one of the greatest, but definitely my favorite of that genre).
-
I agree with what an earlier poster said, the AFI list is better:
http://www.afi.com/100years/movies10.aspx
(They got Raging Bull #4)
-
Anybody remember Robot Jox?
By no means the greatest film ever, but I was a kid when it came out and I thought it was badass.
I remember wishing the main character was played by Arnold, it would have been so awesome.

Lol, Roadhouse and big trouble in little china, are classics. Swayzie and Russell are alphas all the way!

It had me at "fat barrel of monkey spunk"

I own a copy of Arena......good movie!

You gotta seperate the greatest man's films and the greatest films for people.
Godfather, followed not far behind is dasboot for men.
Shawshank, apollo 13, stand by me, and forest gump, rank high for everyone else.
-
"Godfather" may very well be the greatest movie ever made.
-
WTF... Napoleon Dynamite...all time classic, which will stack up against all the old and new classics! :P
I enjoy watching Shawshank, GFellas, GF 1&2...another pretty good flick is No Country for Old Men...enjoyed that one a lot.
