What is the best film you have ever seen, if you had to choose one?

[electra]

For me, possibly The Shining.

"Underground" by Kusturica.

101 Dalmatians

Schindler's List
Pan's Labyrinth
American Beauty
The Lives of Others
Let the Right One In
ET
Rocky
Brief Encounter

con air........
just love it

Quentin Tarrentino's 'Hero'... gobsmackingly fabulous cinematography.

Kill Bill - ludicrously fabulous

life of brian

blessed are the cheesemakers????

well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. i think he means purveyors of all dairy products.

Thelma and Louise

Also agree on Kill Bill Avad... was a toss up really between any of his films but Hero is just gorgeous!

Pan's Labyrinth. I cried and cried and cried.

Beautiful Mind

Oh I've got too many!
Carlito's way
Pulp fiction
The empire strikes back
The white nights, and I could go on and on and on

Raising Arizona

North by Northwest

And now that you mention Raising Arizona (great movie), I also have do add The Big Lebowski and Fargo to my list.

Most of my Top 10 have been mentioned already!

Saturday Night Fever.

I am a sucker for Brief Encounter . . .

And Phantom, purely for the reason that I love the musical.

All the President's Men.

But probably the most intense emotional reaction I've ever had during a film was to Death in Venice - that film turned me inside out and scoured me. But then I was 16... don't think I would react the same way now.

Downfall

Gladiator blew me away.
Utterly absorbing and gritty.. despite being in the later stages of labour at the time...

Pulp fiction in terms of sheer class and brilliance.

PS. OP, my mate's dad made The Shining!!!

I can't choose just one.

The Deer Hunter

Reservoir Dogs

The Legend of 1900

Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources

The English Patient

Casablanca

Goodbye Lenin

Schindler's List

The Life of Brian

Young Frankenstein

American Beauty

From dusk till dawn

If

One flew over the cuckoos nest
