I have to buy a DVD for a movie passionate. She just told me to buy what i thought the best movie ever was.
I personnally think it must be a Kubrick movie... Like 2001 or Barry Lyndon.
A friend told me Citizen Kane...
What do you think?

Has to be The Godfather Part I - for sure..

You can't talk Kubrik with out mentioning Dr. Strangelove. George C. Scotts performance in that film is one of the greatest all time.

This film just does not age.

"You can't fight in here -this is the war room!"

I have to go with Citizen Kane, but I am all about the classics. That and Casablanca...love it!

I guess i'll go for Deep Throat.

I agree with Whisper: The Godfather

The Shawshank Redemption would be enother great choice. If Kubrick is your man, don't forget about The Shining, or Full Metal Jacket. Actually, get the whole Kubrick boxed set! Can't go wrong there.

My vote goes to "One flew over the cuckoo's nest". "Cat on a hot thin roof" is also one of my favorites.

Digby - The Biggest Dog in the World

I concur techhelpweekly, I think I'll add it to the storm.

Fools! It is, of course, "Withnail and I"

What about Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves... eh.. eh... :-)

Well - "The Bed You Sleep In" by Jon Jost is definitely up there with the best....

Citizen Kane of course

If you want funny plus great music try "The Commitments", the story of a soul band being formed in Dublin as the Irish were considered the blacks of the UK.

nein

I agree that The Godfather I is an outstanding film, but the novel by Mario Puzzo in which the film is inspired is even better!

The Other Side of Midnight (1977)
and
Imitation of Life (with Claudette Colbert)

How can you mention Kubrick and not Space Odyssey 2001? it's got to be up there

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The secret of the Ooze.

Once you have seen it you will immediately gain a sense of well being and elation as a feeling of immense superiority (to whoever produced, directed or funded the film) washes over you.

Ha ha - you are kidding Jfellowes.... I'd rather eat my socks after boiling them with some cabbage!

I believe that much of the realistic turtle makeup was created in the same fashion

Best movie ever ? Such a tough question! I mean it's really all about taste and the mood you are in at the time, isn't it? There's nothing measurable to enable you to say 'That's the best movie ever'. It's not just the money it makes.

Anyway, my vote has to include 'Blade-runner' and the 'Lady-killers'. Both fantastic movies. Both totally different and memorable in their own ways. Classics, yes, but 'the best ever'? Maybe. Well, for now anyway ...... Ask me again tomorrow :-)

Godfather II is better than Godfather I, but best film ever? I'm kinda with gadgeteer but atm Casablanca takes it for me.
