best movie ever?

[HarryAngel]

On The Waterfront (1954). The best movie ever made.
"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley."
Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy to Charley Malloy (Rod Steiger)

I'd vote for The Godfather (I & II) and Shawshank.

Citizen Kane doesn't do much for me. It drags too much; although for its time it is very good, there's been better though since then imo.

Lord of the Rings obviously

I believe it's impossible for a movie in my lifetime to surpass these. Everything else is going to seem "meh" from now on.

While whether one likes some filme or not is not up to discussion, - one just does or does not, and tastes do differ, - but, as far as "groundbreaking", - pu-leaze! it is very derivative and very unoriginal. As a matter of fact, - I can not think of a single thing that was unique and original, - in or about this movie, - be that plot or technology related (even "bullet" time at the time was already a used-before technology (Gap commercials, a year or so before))

The reason that you have better since Citizen Kane is because it was the first of it's kind.

Which is also why it's number 1 on most film critics and the AFI Top 100 movie list.

Either Scarface, Memento, or American Beauty.

Memento was a badly done movie with a bad script

I second that, it's such a classic, they just don't make movies like that anymore.

 

[Justorq]

It's between Citizen Kane and the Matrix
two different kind of movies though ... so I'll say that they're both the best in their own category

Yea, I mean its a good movie and you can really see in the cinematography/sets/effects that is truly a film on a grand scale; a very important film no doubt; just saying it didn't do much for me. Dragged in the middle/end too much.

2001: A Space Odyssey - it was 20 years ahead of its time

Epic? Far from it IMO. I watched it about 10 years ago, some hispanic prison gangster movie right? wasn't too impressed with it.
