That's the problem with greatest, it is just opinion, there are so many great to good movies that you could watch a different one every day of the year, unfortunately of course for every great movie there is almost innumerable dross and some movies are so bad they enter the great category 

It is and I'd go further in saying that if you asked for my Greatest movies of all time and my Favourite movies of all time, you'd get two different lists.

 

With that in mind...

 

Greatest Movies.

 

Citizen Kane - an undoubted masterpiece of story telling.

The Seven Samurai - a dynamic, emotional romp through feudal Japan.

Some Like It Hot - A funny film that paved the way for more.

The Godfather - The American dream all twisted.

2001 - A Space Odyssey - how to do a film just like the book.

 

My Favourite Movies.

 

Citizen Kane - an undoubted masterpiece of story telling.

Star Wars - A New Hope - such a big impact on a young kid... those spaceships!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - the best of the bunch. 

The Princess Bride - so much love for this.

Airplane - Or Naked Gun, or Blazing Saddles, or Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. I felt I needed a comedy in there somewhere.

Die Hard  - Aliens - Serenity - Avengers: Endgame - The Right Stuff - Inception - When We Were Kings - Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon - Shane - High Noon - Jean de Florette - Life Is Beautiul - True Lies - Dodgeball - Anchorman - Fargo - A Silent Place - The Usual Suspects - other Star Wars films, other MCU films, other Indiana...

 

Screw it, this is as hard as doing my favourite music.

 

I'd just like to note however that 99% of the films mentioned so far are Hollywood blockbusters from the past 50 years, but then I guess no good film were made before 1970 or in foreign languages.

Good grief... Steps?

 

I just like some proper alt-rock, instead of that whiny, radio-friendly, teen-angst drivel. Might as well listen to Fall Out Boy.

Apollo 13

United 93

 

Both these films remain gripping until the end even though the viewer knows the outcome at the start of the film

United 93 is an utterly harrowing watch. 

 

Brilliant, but harrowing. 

 

 

[winteriscoming]

Goodfellas 

godfather part 2 

seven 

the usual suspects 

Planes trains and automobiles.
