where's the love for Godfather 3?

did anyone even like that one?

I personally would rank the Godfather's by order of appearance...

but I guess qualifying it as a 'best' is a stretch

Hey! don't be dissing Top Gun. You can't beat loud noises and shiny object.

I think I would have liked Citizen Kane better if I didn't have to write an essay on it

Re: Some faves...

The Fountainhead

Excellent first choice. One of my favorite scenes was when Roark bumped into his nemesis, Keating, at a deserted constructed site after several years had passed. Keating says something to the effect "No-ones around. Tell me what you think of me". Roark says "But I don't think of you". The ultimate putdown.

lol! me too!

Of course, everything was sexual innuendo to me.

 

[born slippy]

just like picking best record albums of all time, listing my favourite movies of all time is impossible; however, the following had a profound impact on me...

trainspotting (hilarious and horrifying at the same time)
when harry met sally (romantic without being sappy)
apocalypse now (simply mesmerising)
blade runner (best depiction of the future ever)
taxi driver (you talkin' to me?!? classic deniro)
pulp fiction (hip, funny, violent, what more do you want?)
aliens (thrilling from beginning to end)
about a boy (funny, sad, romantic and touching)
the wicker man (a CityTV late night classic, made me want to be a pagan)
angel heart (stylish, scary, and Lisa Bonet naked)
planes trains and automobiles (my alltime favourite comedy)
blue velvet (prime David Lynch wierdness)
all the president's men (great conspiracy movie and a true story)
seven (the most exhilerating downer ever)
the maltese falcon (best script ever written)
it happened one night (see WHMS above. 4 oscar winner in 1934)
charade (somebody mentioned something about Cary Grant, this is one of his best)
rear window (mmm grace kelly)

Seven...somewhat repulsive yet the suspense!
I also love Gweneth! If only she had boobs!
So many more to add but most have been already stated above.

 

[NY_Nightcrawler]

Here is the REAL list ;-)

Repo Man - Emilio Estevez
Alien - great SF/Horror hybrid
Bladerunner - Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford, Shawn Young
The Sting - stylish classic
Raging Bull - great DeNiro
Goodfellas - great Pesci

and TV...

24 - do NOT miss this show !

 

[montreal]

9 and a half weeks really wasn't a good film IMO... however Kim Basinger looked really AMAZING!

 

[montreal]

Out of Africa
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Shawshank Redemption
Far and Away
Angela's Ashes
In The Name of The Father

 

[Takeda Shingen]

How come no one mentioned any Kurosawa, Suzuki or Kobayashi films? All of them are world class directors with world class works!
