All time best movie(s)?

Published on June 6, 2006 By ----- In Entertainment

I was recently browsing the American Film Institute and came upon a bit about what movie is the best, during the last 100 years of cinema. The links below are to both the AFI, and IMDb (Internet Movie Database) top movies.

These are my top five.

2. 2001: A space odyssey Link

3. Dark City - Link

4. American History X - Link

5. The Great Dictator - ( Link )

Whip, one of these days I gotta find and post a pic of me and a friend who went to a Halloween party as the Blues brothers- you'd appreciate it!

Any ways, as for my favorite movie:

Oh, and John Belushi was the ONLY celebrity I ever wept over upon hearing news of their death.

I always get confused...John, Jim, James... B'ah! To many J's!

Jim Belushi (aka James) is the one still alive, correct?

THE BLUES BROTHERS!

Yeah! Good movie. Great Duo.

I know almost every line by heart. It was the first movie I ever saw with my best friend Joe (who died in February of 2004) and the last movie I ever watched with my brother, (who died in November of 2001.)

Dang, had a rough few years.

Meh, I have always found Pulp Fiction to be uber strange. Never have been able to follow it clearly.

LOTR was dang good, still.

The Matrix was good, but I like Dark City better. (That and #2 & 3 kinda ruined it for me.) 2001 is great. *tosses a bone in the air, it changes into a space station*

Planet of the apes is good (the original that is). Sandra Bullock is hilarious.

2. Braveheart
3. The Princess Bride
4. Labyrinth
5. Casablanca
6. Walk the Line
7. Shenandoah
8. True Grit
9. The Empire Strikes Back
10. The Return of the King (both the original Star Wars trilogy and the Ring trilogy rank very high on my list; I had to pull my favorites from each out for their token places on the list, although I see them, essentially, as one body of work).

I have to put a qualifier on any top ten list of movies or music, though. Although the favorites remain the same, their orders change often and can be indicative of my mood at the time.

I'm with Gid on this one, but I'll submit my list as of right now . . . in no particular order, just how they come out of my mind . . .

1. Serenity
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Shaun of the Dead
4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
5. the original Star Wars trilogy
6. (I hate to admit it) Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
7. Robin Hood: Men in Tights
8. Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events
9. (While not an actual movie, it's movie enough for me) Once More, With Feeling -the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

they're a little bit of everything, funny chick flicky drama, crazy kung fu action, disney cartoon, an old romantic, and musical. I love it all!
