Forums - General - the best movie ever made

I think the reason people are raving about The Dark Knight is because Heath Ledger killed himself over the role.

This is exactly why it's hard to take people seriously when they rave about this movie to no end. It's hard to seperate who is fixated over the fact that Heath Ledger died after making this and who is genuinely loving the movie for what it is.

Calling the dark knight the best movie ever is like calling Halo 3 the best game ever. While good, maybe even great, you got sucked in by the hype.

I've seen alot of great movies, so I don't have a particular one that I think is best, but Green Mile stands out.

Toy Story 2, also a good movie.



My top 10
10. The Prestige
9. Full Metal Jackrt
8. The Godfather II
7. The Usual Suspects
6. The Departed
5. Memento
4. The Color Purple
3. Saving Private Ryan
2. Crash
1. Rocky

Did someone really name the Saw series as possibly the best movies ever?

*shudder*



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

^Good call on Braveheart and Star Wars.



1st Saw id excellent, written / directed by ozzies

2001, coz its absolutely the best piece of art i have ever seen. Not many movies are art, this movie is

Apoc. Now is pretty close to perfection. Original cut, without the french bit (keep playboy girls).

Fight club, its the best hollywood studio released film in over 20 years. Communism isn't dead.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
