Best movie ever

I'm sure this has already been discussed here. If that is the case, I apologize for the repetition.

Not that board members might want to know which is my favorite movie, but I'd like to see which movies are mentioned here in case I hadn't seen them.

In my case that would have to be "12 Angry Men"

I have a friend , ahem, who like this: <img src="http://www.cix.co.uk/~encore/images/ld1121fc.jpg" alt=" - " />

There's no way to point to one. I can't do it.

Inherit the Wind
Goodfellas
L.A. Confidential
Star Wars

Note, these are among my favorites, obviously, but a lot of my faves are fantastic movies but not Great Cinema (ie, Spinal Tap, all the Christopher Guest movies, Princess Bride.

12 Angry Men was a good choice. Citizen Kane as well, though I find Touch of Evil more compelling.

Repulsion (A Roman Pulanski film)
Mon Oncle (A Jacques Tati film)

Honorable Mention:
Peeping Tom
Le Grande Illusion

Some of my favorite movies:

Choose Life!

If God would send his angels.. Only the original will do. Accept no substitutes.. specially the craptastic remake with Nicholas Cage.

some of my favourites:

citizen kane
the godfather
raising arizona
alexander nevsky
the good, the bad and the ugly

Blue Velvet
Five Easy Pieces
Throne of Blood
Battle Royale

Oh, yeah! Blue Velvet is classic comedy!! I love that film.

If you don't get it, you don't get it. Did you read Gibson's Neuromancer, by any chance.

not sure if any of these are "the best movie ever" but I like 'em:

Dead Man
Dr Strangelove etc etc
Once Upon A Time in the West
Rear Window
The Thin Red Line
High Plains Drifter
Brazil
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Down By Law
Where Eagles Dare

ditto on the Christopher Guest movies, I rented Spinal Tap this week and I've watched it at least once or twice a day. I absolutely love it, the commentary is even better than the movie itself. of course I love the Monty Python movies, but I am a Life of Brian fan MUCH more than Holy Grail.

DELIVERANCE or MILLER'S CROSSING

I never know whether to laugh or cry when watching Spinal Tap. It's hilarious, but those situations really happen, we live them here sometimes.So maybe it just hits a little too close to home. But hopefully they had such a blast here doing A Mighty Wind that they'll want to come back as Spinal Tap.

star wars
the godfather
basketballs
SOUTH PARK
hardball

I'm going to get so much shit for this, but what's new.

This is my favorite movie of all time:

And I watch these two more than any others:

It's hard for me to pick my One favorite..

CITIZEN KANE
BIRTH OF A NATION
BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
THE CABINET OF DR.CALIGURI
NOSFERATU
