Best film you have seen in your lifetime

A hard choice, but I would have to go with "The Godfather" series.

Shawkshank Redemption

Not sure if it's really the "best".. but it's certainly my favorite.

Shawshank Redemption for me :)

SHOOTER!

Braveheart, no contest.

Apocalypse Now.

Shawkshank Redemption

If I really had to name just one I would go with Wild Strawberries.SaintLeonidas

OMG there is nothing better then the Godfather! :)

I love these threads. But when I'm asked to list just ONE film, my head explodes.Nerd_Man

For shame. You and I both know you just saw the best film you will ever see in your lifetime and the next couple ones. I am talking about this film: Treevenge!.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, easily. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?DJ_Lae

Bring me a shrubbery! :lol:

I mean it has everything that will ever make you forget everything you've ever seen. One of the scene having involved Vaseline and a tree! Not to mention the baby... Oh the baby!

Yeah, I do believe everyone should see Treevenge! to see why we consider it the best thing to be seen ever.

My personal favorite would be Unforgiven.chessmaster1989

Not The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? *looks at avatar*

I want to say either Pulp Fiction or Shawshank Redemption. Return of the King is up there too.

SaintLeonidas

Pfft! more than just trees. It's about genocide and man's cruel inhumanity towards those who can't defend themselves. It's about the commercialism of traditions and how that has made everyone deaf and blind to the suffering of others not like them. OSCAR material I tell you.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] It is by far the best film about trees :PJazz_Fan

Oscar-baiting is what you mean. Look what such scenes did for Jodie Foster getting her a Best Actress Oscar.

TGTBTU just misses my top 5 (I'd rank it as my 6th favorite movie of all time), but I still love it. Fantastic movie in every way. 10/10

I cant name just one, that would be impossible. Here are 5 though.

1. The Virgin Spring

2. The Man who would be king

3. Harold and Maude

4. City of god

5. Let the right one in- Watched this again out of sheer boredom and I still loved it:P

As much as I love Eastwood's westerns, my top favorite of his would have to be Dirty Harry. Eastwood personified Harry Callahan in a way no other actor could have.:)

I watched this recently. I liked it, but not as much as the people in OT did I guess. :P

Dirty Harry is great, but I think that Eastwood has better movies. Really, I think (in terms of movies others have directed) that all of Leone's The Man with No Name trilogy is better (especially TGTBTU), and (in terms of movies Eastwood has directed (and in some cases acted in)) that Unforgiven, Mystic River, and Million Dollar Baby were all definitely better.

That doesn't, however, stop Dirty Harry from being a highly entertaining movie. :D

Understandable, the cat attack scene still makes me cringe at how bad it looks, but I can forgive the film since the rest is so good to me. Plus the film inspired me to write my own vampire story so that helps:P

Forrest Gump

Million Dollar Baby really tugged at the heartstrings. I actually had a lump in my throat at the ending.

I'll go on the record and say I haven't yet seen an Eastwood film I haven't enjoyed.:)

Neither have I, actually. Some, I think, are only mediocre or only a step above that, but there are a lot of fantastic ones as well.

As always:

Bring it on all or nothing

Well, my favorite film of all time is "The Wizard." Since that technically doesn't count as the best film I've ever seen, I'd say that the best film is either "Stand by Me" or "Jaws."

I really want to see it now :P. Is it a short film by chance? And is it out on DVD or anything?
