Have to be the dark knight, or the avengers, maybe captain america 2. Off the top of my head.

Shawshank was good but too many cliches for my liking.

Wrong thread, the crappiest film ever made thread is thataway. >>>

Best film ever would probably be Toy Story, followed by Godfather 2, my best one though is Once Upon a Time in America.

Momento or Good Will Hunting

larrykinney · 03-05-2014 9:25pm

Godfather 1& 2,
Midnight Cowboy,
Kids,
Magnolia,
Boogie Nights (in fact, most of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies).

Lucifer MorningStar · 03-05-2014 9:25pm

The Passion of St Tibulus

jamo2oo9 · 03-05-2014 9:25pm

I watched part III again recently as part of the boxset, it actually wasn't as bad as I remembered. Was always going to be hard to live up to the first two of course. I think with a few tweaks to the cast it could have worked better.

Love it!

beano345 · 03-05-2014 9:29pm

Escape from Alcatraz must have watched it a hundred times at this stage

AllGunsBlazing · 03-05-2014 9:29pm

The Shining. The weird part is that I've never thought it to be all that scary but Jack Nicholson just fills the screen with his performance.

ratsam · 03-05-2014 9:31pm

Thats a really tough question... have many favs but a few stick in my head more than others...

Full Metal Jacket
The Shining
Apoclypse now
Let the Right One In (The original Swedish version not the remake...!)
Caché (Hidden)

gammygils · 03-05-2014 9:31pm

I'm with FatherTed
Goodfellas
Shawshank Redemption and
JFK

Andrewf20 · 03-05-2014 9:31pm

A toss up between...

- 1979 Russian film called Stalker
- Terminator 2
- Sideways
- Romanian film about abortion - 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days
- Momento
- Touching the void

Lu Tze · 03-05-2014 9:35pm

The Princess bride

e_e · 03-05-2014 9:35pm

Persona
Play Time
Seven Samurai

I could go on, but these 3 just blew me away like few other movies have (even some I've loved).

Anytime someone tries to say The Godfather part III wasn't bad I use this one tried and true tale to tell them how wrong they are. Joe Mantegna played Joey Zasa in part III, he is also Fat Tony in The Simpsons. As Fat Tony he said a line that sums up part III, I ain't cried like this since I paid to see Godfather 3.

You are right about the cast, Andy Garcia should have been Pacinos son, not his nephew, and no way should Sofia Coppola been cast, she was worse than the girl that played Connie in the movies.

forgot about downfall, its absolutely brilliant

lertsnim · 03-05-2014 9:50pm

Downfall was pretty great. I love the first 2 Godfathers though. They'd be the best I have seen.

RobbingBandit · 03-05-2014 9:52pm

Schindler's List deserves a nod, One Flew Over also, Out of all the Batman movies Tim Burtons one would get my vote followed by The Dark Knight and Batman Begins.
