I will now provide links to the 3 greatest movies of all time.

3) The Night of the Living Dead, written and directed by George Romero, 1968. 95 minutes, 17 seconds.

2) M, written and directed by Fritz Lang, 1932. 108 minutes, 46 seconds.

1) DAICON IV, written and directed by DAICON Films, 1983. 7 minutes, 27 seconds.

You must be joking. Not about Living Dead but the other two...

Nope, not joking at all.  Have you seen all 3?

I can provide links to 8 1/2, Citizen Kane, Battleship Potemkin, Ikiru, and Man With a Movie Camera if you'd prefer, but that would be too predictable.

I haven't seen M. But I'm very suspucious about the quality of a movie made 75 years ago.

And DAICON I saw from that link to Yutube. It didnt suck, but it was... I dunno, surrealistic and pointless.

The Prestige
The Departed
The Oxford Murders
The Bourne Ultimatum

oh yeah, almost forgot the Bourne films, they were great too

I personally can't stand the Bourne films. They make no sense. That's probably because I've only seen the third one, though.

Anyway, my favourites are Star Wars 3-6, Star Trek (2009), The Dark Knight, Mike Bassett England Manager, Bend it Like Beckham, Minority Report and the Toy Story films, among others.

If I had to pick just one then probably Saving Private Ryan

That's another of those movies that everyone loves that bored me to tears. I watched for 20 minutes, and it was actually painful how terrible it was, so I stopped.

You should watch M. It invented the serial killer horror film. And while American studios were making their first sound films (with horrible horrible sound quality, bad editing where the camera couldn't cut for a whole conversation for fear of cutting off some of the bad dialogue, and over-the-top live orchestras in almost every scene), Fritz Lang nailed it. It probably has the best sound editing (and visual editing in regards to pacing with the sound itself) for all of the 30s and 40s. And it did wonders with parallel montage editing, and the brilliant performance by Peter Lorre that jumpstarted his career.

I've watched it in a couple different film classes, and every time there's 1 or 2 kids whose minds get blown so hard they go tell the professor it's the greatest film they've ever seen. So I'd say the magic has lasted over 70 years.

Sounds.. I guess I have to take your word for it. It would be cool if a movie from the 30's is watch worthy, especially in that genre.

And interesting about those kids in film class getting wowed. I guess I have to download this sometime, unless its fully uploaded on YouTube.

That link goes to the whole film at YouTube, in one big chunk instead of an awkward playlist.

Finding Nemo and Halloween2 [The original!! Not the bad remake that came out this year... which I watched knowing it would suck because I'm a blind Michael Myers fanboy who will watch any movie about Myers because films 1, 2 and 7(H2O) were awesome...]
