The Best Movies Ever Made

[Francec]

The Life of Brian
The Meaning of Life
The Holy Grail
Humour, philosophy and balloon-pricking all in one.

This may not be missing from the above enumeration:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
I know it so, the continuation of the film gets ready.
I know that this film has nothing to do with Monty Python, apart from Terry Gilliam.
But actually all Terry Gilliam films here its place, my opinion.
Inescapable, how there should not be repetitions in the favourites' list.
But this not trouble. I believe it so, the enumeration of the favourite works of art characterize the man.
I initiated this because of this possibly the thread.

The Great Escape
Dirty Harry
Bridge on the River Kwai
Glory

In my opinion, the best Alain Delon film:

Doucement les basses (1971)

 

[destroyer X]

These magnificent men and their flying machines (1965)

Funny and interesting to see.

 

[event horizon]

Subway by Luc Besson

The first version i ever saw of this film had Propaganda playing "The Murder Of Love" in the car chase at the beginning. Just a shame this never got transfered to the DVD or Blu Ray. Other than that 10/10



E2A:- strange that the OST on record had the above mentioned track...

Funny and interesting to see.

Yes, I love Terry Thomas. There was a less good follow-up "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies".

[Pano]

Subway by Luc Besson

I would not nominate this for a "best" except maybe "Best Slice of Life in 1980s Paris." Do like the film tho, have several friends in it.

^excellent film

I recently caught Dream Lover on HBO. I went in without any expectations and ended up thoroughly enjoying the film.

 

[Cassiel]

Another good movie:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Claude Chabrol

 

[jymz4941]

The remains of the day
The (little) Kidnappers
God's Country
The African Queen (Book is much better)
Lonesome Dove

I'll vote for all of the above, too. And although there are many better films I could list, one that sticks in my head is "Second Hand Lion". Another one I loved is "Legends of the Fall", with Anthony Hopkins, from 1994.

Everyone, from all ages, should watch "Secondhand Lions"!

 

[smartx21]

Another one that deserves attention for its deep teachings is Jim Henson and Frank Oz's "The Dark Crystal".

 

[smartx21]

To have fun, Blake Edwards' "Great Race"!

 

[smartx21]

And, last but not least, for those who enjoy animated comedy and art, from DreamWorks, "The Road to El Dorado" is a must see!!!

 

[Spooky Electric]

Just watching: "Alive" A true story about a plane crashed in the Andes and how the survivors accomplished their rescue. A really impressive movie.

 

[Pano]

That one left a bad taste in my mouth.
