The greatest film of all time...

[Summo]

... is Baz Lurmann's Romeo And Juliet.

Just watched it again on my n00 DVD playa. Superb stuff. Truly incredible.

Thanks.

[wolfeeh]

you!

are SUCH a hairdresser summo man :/

have you NO pride in your masculinity!?

/me sighs and thinks

Aliens.

 

[old.ignus]

definately aliens

although I think dog soldiers is a good contender, just for the one liners "I hope I give you the shits you fucking wimp!" and "I'm in the fucking khazi!" Anyone know when its available to buy?

 

[wolfeeh]

not seen that

i swear that was the thing with vampires in it? or was it werewolves... trailered the other day wasn't it?

 

[old.ignus]

wearwolves, for a low budget British horror its better than some of the high budget american crap. The sarge is funny as fuck.

That isn't the greatest film in the world.......























It is just a tribute.

Aliens here too, though I'm not much of a critic. I hated R&J, was almost like a stage-show. Same goes for Moulin; Baz's style of directing tends to leave me cold.

 

[wolfeeh]

whyyyyyyyyyy

is that name ringing alarm bells in my head?

oh my god NO....

that's that guy with the wear sunscreen shit isn't it?

Yep :/

 

[wolfeeh]

speaking of.

isn't there a 5th aliens film due out or something?

i only inquire cos i just bought the first four on dvd for a fiver each ready for my birthday

 

[Summo]

Alien? Alien? I wouldn't even rate that as a contender for the greatest film of all time.

Bah!

ROCK!

 

[wolfeeh]

and i wouldn't

rate R&J or MR as films

but hey.
next u'll be telling me that shakespeare in love floated ur boat

 

[Summo]

It was okay, if only for Ben Affleck's cameo. But no, it isn't in my top 10 list.

 

[Nightchill]

bit of a critic (in that I don't like anything) myself. one film I can always rewatch is Office Space tho. :/ does that make me nerdy? *cries*

No-one mentioned Alien, actually

 

[Ono]

IMO Romeo & Juliet is not even as good as Moulin Rouge so it can't possibly be the greatest film ever.


I know it's a cop out but I have several films I regards as the BEST:

The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: A New Hope
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Lord of the Rings

 

[mank!]

Taxi Driver
Apocalypse Now
Leon

 

[Will]

The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk has to be a contender in my opinion.

Heat, The Usual Suspects, City Hunter (kids movie really, but fun, especially in the state I was in (See Xtro's thread for details)), and Taxi are all in my shortlist too.

Office Space is a top film. I didn't rate LOTR at all and I hated R+J(one of samm's favourite films though), for me its gotta be The Matrix, High Fidelity or Fight Club, as my favourite songs though it changes daily depending on my mood.

I'm sorry you guys have overlooked The Shaweshank Redemtion as I think this is one of the best films of all time.

It takes its time to develop the plot (it actually has a story!).

You actually get involved with the characters and the twists and clues only really become apparent at the end (on first viewing)

Maybe I'm a sucker for story telling but todays films just look like pop videos mostly.

The one Im hoping will become the best film ever, is of course The Lord of the Rings (as a completed film).

This has to be the ultimate in story telling and needs no more comment except have you seen the trailer?

so righ about all those things, LOTR will deffo be a contender, once it is all released, and the new trailer gave me goosebump. And not many films do that anymore.

Unless it's by Akira Kurasawa it should not be considered.

[wolfeeh]

hmm

that's so not fair why does everyone bring in fucking lists when we talking about just ONE best film ever.

so anyway

Heat, Leon, The Matrix, Fight Club, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars original trilogy.... Aliens saga


isn't the legend of fong sai yuk known more simply as "Jet Li's 'The Legend'"

 

[~YuckFou~]

Shawshank Redemption and The Exorcist.

Shawshank because it's a great story well told and well produced.
Exorcist because it is the only movie I've seen that has moved an audience so much. It's a little dated now but when I originally went to see it people were looking over their shoulders and around corners as they left the cinema. I also knew someone who went completely nuts for a year after seeing it.

Bestest

 

[Stazbumpa]

Overall, I'm with the Aliens mob on this one.


But lumped in with this film is LoTR, The Crow, The Matrix and quite possible The One, although I havn't seen it yet. Also Dog Soldiers will be on my list as soon as I see it. Shawshank was fab, although I'm very concerned about Summo and his R&J fetish.
