What is your favorite of the so-called "Best Movies Of All Time"?

I grew up on Star Wars, so I went with that even though a lot of those are great.

I chose the Godfather, as if it was Godfather Part II, whihc is what I consider the best movie of all time.

Casablanca, Citizen Kane, and The Wizard of Oz all come in close seconds, and if I knew the Graduate well enough, I'd probably put it in that category, I've only really seen parts of it

The Graduate. That movie was ahead of its time.


Sunset Boulevard is a second.

Star Wars. Coming in second would be The Godfather, then Casablanca.

I voted Wizard Of Oz because it's the only one that I can actually remember watching (I've seen the Star Wars but I don't remember them).

Schindler's List.

Perfect everything, PLUS based on true events. Doesn't get better for what a movie can/should be.

You know what's sad? That I've only seen about 4 of those. Oh well. Best movie of all time is dumb and dumber.

okay thanks, I just checked out the list, and I agree with most of the list (in fact im suprised ive seen most of the list)

but in my opinion, I really would have liked to see shawshank there, at least somewhere in the top 100

great acting, great story, great message, great ending, I can watch that movie over and over and over. Its definately my favorite movie and a great one, in my opinion.

I went with the Godfather, but a big part of me was calling for me to go with the Graduate, because that movie is so damn enjoyable. By the way TJ, not a dig, I just hated Rent. Sat for literally 2 minutes and had to leave. So ridiculous.

The musical is way better than the movie.

And I haven't even seen the movie.

Star Wars by far. Most of those are decent, but I don't really enjoy them much at all.

I love it, such suprising acting for a studio production, but I like The Godfather more

Don't forget Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd, Scatman Crothers and Brad Dourif.
