[ManWithNoName]

1. Downfall (Der Untergang)-Absolutely stunning movie. Incredible performance by Bruno Granz.
2. The Godfather-The best actor of all time at his best. Truly great movie.
3. Star Wars Episode IV-No matter how many times you watch it, it gets better rather than worse. Still fun to watch after all these years.

 

[sandeano]

You know, there were movies made before 1980.

 

[Mr Magoo]

You know, there were movies made before 1980.

BINGO

Let's see i like a lot more movies that were made many moons ago. You'd be hard pressed to go pass the following as one of the best/greatest movies of all time -

It's a wonderful Life - Jimmy Stewart

Honourable mentions to -

Ben Hur, Casablanca, 12 Angry men, High Noon, Spartacus, Mr Smith goes to Washington, The Good the Bad & the ugly, Seven Samuri, Lillies in the field, Red River, Shane .... i could keep going as i would have well over 1,000 dvd's

[BarcaRulz]

No love for Leon? Besides, isn't there another topic just like this?

 

[CURVE]

Not one movie there that I'd vote for.

If you had of selected the top 20 movies as voted for on IMDB then we could have had a decent poll. See how BigFooty members compare to the rest of the world.

 

[Upgrayedd]

The Boondock saints, i watch that movie about twice a week,

 

[Geddy Lee]

Children of Men.

OMG.

Rather poorly I'd imagine, as virtually all here think that movies started being be made in 1980 or perhaps 1990.

Sad really.

 

[kimirocks]

1. The Great Escape
2. Infernal Affairs
3. A World Without Thieves
4. Everything Is Illuminated
5. Mr Smith Goes To Washington

I voted for Reservoir Dogs as it really the only movie on the list that I really like.

What gets me is that today there are more great foreign and older films readily available than ever before. Even the local Blockbuster will carry a notable handful of truly great movies, looking better than ever in the aspect ratio they were intended to be seen in.

Yet so many people just choose not to watch them.

Just bizarre.

 

[Ron]

Why on earth are the matrix films even on that list.
First one was good, but a long way from being the greatest, and the other two were huge piles of ****.

Anyway picking the #1 movie of all time would be bloody hard so i'll take a stab and say its probably one of the ernest movies. Ernest scared stupid would probably be the winner.

 

[lloydbraun]

1. Home Alone
2. Howard the Duck
3. Home Alone 3
4.Stop! Or My Mum Will Shoot
5. Don't Tell Mum the babysitters dead

Five all time greats.

I would like to add Chicken Park to that wonderful list Lloyd. It was a very moving movie.

Thank you I forgot Chicken Park, also apologies to Santa with Muscles starring Hulk Hogan!

Dunno what's gone wrong with most of the people here.

Youth is not an excuse. Maybe I was lucky growing up in Canberra, but in my late teens and early twenties I was watching classic silent films, and classics from the thirties through to the seventies.

And as you say, availability is not issue.

 

[Magnum]

The original Star Wars and the prequel Star Wars movies should not be listed together. The prequel movies destroyed the once great star wars saga (for me anyway).

 

[drew_j]

Not a single Arnie movie in there. This poll blows.

1. Predator
2. Commando.
3 Terminator 1 and 2 (NOT 3!)
4. The Running Man
5. Total Recall
6. Raw Deal
7. Conan the Barbarian and Destroyer (Throw in Red Sonja for good measure)

 

[Crosby87]

1. The Godfather
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Taxi Driver
4. Pulp Fiction
5. The Shawshank Redemption
6. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
7. Apocalypse Now
8. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
9. Citizen Kane
10. Once Upon a Time In the West

Honorable mentions: Goodfellas, Star Wars, The Usual Suspects, A Clockwork Orange.

Where are all the "Transformer" movie Geeks?

It's a Wonderful Life, and Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

Best.Movies.Ever.

BTW, the plots of Star Wars episode 7,8 and 9 are online and George Lucas predicts release for 7 as 2014. Hopefully he gets someone who CAN direct to direct them.

I agree that there are a lot of good movies made before 1980 but The Shawshank Redemption would still get my vote. I have about 100 DVDs. Probably half before 1980 half after. I love Alfred Hitchcock movies: The Birds, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho etc. Classics.
