In my opinion is the movie "Gone with the wind" the best movie all times. The movie is based on a book of Margaret Mitchell and was a Bestseller in the 20th century. The movie has the same quality as the book; I should even say better.

What is your opinion?

I must admit I don't have one particular movie in mind. I always consider any movie that in some way, changes your own life to be very profound and therefore a "good'un".

The Exorcist was one such movie for me, but I wouldn't consider it one of the movies in the "best movie ever" category for everyone lol.

That's a pretty vague question, so I guess I would do it this way:

Drama: The Shawshank Redemption

Thriller: The Usual Suspects but Hostage was a close second there

Fantasy: LOTR trilogy

Sci/Fi: Star Wars Trilogy

Comedy: A Fish Called Wanda

Horror: a toss up between An American Werewolf in London and Evil Dead

Those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others that I loved just as much if not more and forgot to mention.

Hey Glorybebe, that's a good way to do it!!!

*copies Glorybebe*

Drama: I too, have to go with The Shawshank Redemption
Thriller: The Godfather I, II and III (I don't even know if this is considered Thriller mind lol)
Fantasy: Not that keen on this category of film, so I haven't got one to choose
Sci/Fi: ?? Don't know
Comedy: Party Party
Horror: The Exorcist and Stigmata

LOL, copy away! OOOOOhhhhhh, yeah, Stigmata was a great one.

It's almost impossible to name just one. Some are Citizen Kane, On the Waterfront, Casablanca etc. But if I had to pick one then I would say then, 2001: A Space Odyssey because it revolutioned the concept of Cinema without narrative.

Brazil. Genius movie. I could never get tired of it.

Not sure if I would call it 'the best' but my favorite film is American beauty.

I can't pick a best, just what I think of as the best movies...

Alien and Aliens, just not enough of the Aliens
Predator, he dies in the end, oww.
Brazil, defo genius
The Party, just thinking about Sellers makes me laugh, alongside the best drunken (waiter) performance ever.
French Connection 1 and 2. Hackman is Great.
Allegro Non Troppo, for animation, especially the Bolero sequence.
Silence of the Lambs, tfftfftfftfftfftf...
American Psycho, can't imagine anyone but Bateman playing it.
Cleopatra...those sets!
Bliss...Barry Otto
The original War of the Worlds and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...childhood sentiment.

Edit, how could I forget...Taxi Driver

Oooo, good question!

Drama: Although Shawshank is a fantastic movie, I'm going to have to go with another Stephen King movie here and say Stand By Me

Thriller: Wild Things. Could you call that a thriller?

Fantasy: Harry Potter. All of them.

Sci/Fi: ?? Star Wars Trilogy

Comedy: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Horror: I don't do horror!

Action: Indiana Jones

Most people mention different top movies. I like to know a short summary of their favorite movies. There are a lot of good movies. I like also the Titanic, and some with more action like the movies of Hitchcock.
A family movie which I like the most is the Sound of Music. I watch this movie every year. Read more about it : http://www.helium.com/tm/346597/sound-music-heart-touching

Drama: The Shawshank Redemption

Thriller: Fight Club and The Usual Suspects

Fantasy: LOTR trilogy

Sci/Fi: I'm going with Chronicles of Riddick cause its just awesome...i mean Star Wars is good and all....but there's 6 of them

Comedy: Grumpy Old Men

Horror: Pet Cemetery... cause its been written off so so many times

I dont think anyone's said a musical so I'll go Rocky Horror Picture Show
Horror: Evil Dead
Drama: Schindlers List
Comedy: Clerks II, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, DOGMA, basically anything Kevin Smith does

1.Taxi Driver
2. Apocalypse Now
3. The Fisher King
4. The Big Lebowski
5. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
