Best Films You've Ever Seen

So, I did a quick search and I'm surprised that we don't have a thread up like this yet. I don't know if this is the right place to post it, and if not, a mod can feel free to move it. Anyway! So, I absolutely adore movies, and I'm sure some of you do to do. When time and care is invested into them, they can turn out better then most novels. I don't think I could ever pick a top favorite but here are a few (in no particular order):

(1) Titanic
(2) Star Wars III, IV, V, VI
(3) Casino Royale [2006]
(4) Invictus
(5) A Nightmare on Elm Street
(6) The Birds
(7) Psycho
(8) King Kong [1933]
(9) Shutter Island
(10) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

What about you guys?

Big tick to Casino Royale and the Birds!!!

The best films I love are:

- Breakfast at Tiffany's
- Roman Holiday
- Beauty and the Beast
- Death at a Funeral (2007)

2.Mathilda (My first-ever English movie ^_^)
3.POTC
4.Breakfast at Tiffany's

EDIT-
I can't believe I forgot these.
7.Lawrence of Arabia
8.Schindler's list.
9. Home Alone (all)
10.Charlie and Chocolate factory! (Hehe, Depp.)

I really like musicals. And I like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Johnny Depp in… everything I’ve ever seen him in. Not the movies, but the actors I love.


I’m starting to think I’m the only one who really hates Pride and Prejudice. My friend and her friends thought it was awesome; I thought it was the most complicated love octagon I had ever heard of.

In absolutely no particular order:

- Harry Potter 1 & 2.
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Shawshank Redemption
- LOTR
- Lion King
- Aladdin
- The Matrix
- How To Train Your Dragon
- Love Actually
- Life of Brian.

To name a few to start off with:

The Princess Bride
The Godfather
The Godfather Part II
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (in Mandarin only, not dubbed)

2.Mathilda (My first-ever English movie ^_^)

Matilda you mean? So agreed on that one. Favorite childhood movie, and just one of the greatest movies of all time.

And then I've recently become somewhat obsessed with Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. I have a weakness for Batman Begins as well. The Coen Brothers are pretty good too - O Brother, Where Art Thou is also definitely up there on all-time greatest movies.


EDIT: I forgot one of the greatest movies known to man...

The Sandlot.

Off the top of my head:

-all the Harry Potters
-The Matrix
-Charlie and the Chocolate factory
-A Wrinkle in Time
-Monty Python and the Holy Grail
-Get Smart (the new one)
-The Truman Show

There's many more that I can't think of at this moment.
