What is the best movie ever made?

Time to dust out the old DVD (and VHS) library. Hard choice but as the Highlander movie has quoted, "There can be only ONE!". I have always been a SCARFACE face. Which movie is your choice?

Very, very hard to pick one... but, the winner is "Goodfellas" for me.

Had to choose it from The Godfather, Braveheart, Dances With Wolves, The Patriot, Legends of the Fall, and Patton.

I prefer TV shows to movies these days (more time to develop plots and characters). But I'll go with my old favorite from the old days.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;"

I would have to go with Star Wars IV: A New Hope, not the remake mind you, but the first one that was released in 1977. This movie is not only great, but it paved the way for future films in the aspects of special effects thanks to Lucas' ILM studios.

This is one of my favorites, but I love hamburger hill and apocalypse now as well

This is really tough. For a "serious" movie, Memento is probablly my favorite.

All around entertaining movie is Holy Grail.

This movie is so deep in so many religious and psychological levels it still blows my mind.

It is very hard to choose just one movie as my favorite. I find it hard to pick a favorite for each genre really. But if forced to choose I would go with Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. It was the best of the original trilogy and the best of the current six so far...

I could never pick a single "best movie ever". But, this has been a favorite movie of mine for a very long time, and I'm never loathe to see it. I'll watch it again tonight, matter of fact.

It's between To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men.

I don't know about "best" but to me Braveheart never gets old. It's certainly one of my favorites.
