My best film is The Wolf of Wall Street. It's awesome film i never seen before.

Just don't get why so many people vote for Shawshank Redemption.
It's not bad, I enjoyed it at the time but best ever? It's as if some people have been brainwashed by the media before they have seen it and then vote for it by default, just cause some top 100 film TV show voted for it.

Its the same as those who vote for Bohemian Rhapsody!!

Maybe because they like it?

They do say that opinions are like s - everybody has one, and they all stink.

Bingo , how did beat the swear filter

Fwiw I do agree about Shawshank being over rated , although still a very good film I wouldn't even say its the best Stephen King adaption let alone the best prison movie .

Tbh I could probably name 50 movies that I'd consider top quality

It has to be Dog Soldiers,this could be a true story.

Ok just found this thread and tried to cast my mind back and reel off some of my personal favourites. Now I'm in my late 30's and a typical 80's kid so some of these listed will be classics to my generation. By no means do I consider myself a film buff and I've probably enjoyed some utter Ertha Kitt over the years but here goes......

The Goonies
Big
The original Star Wars trilogy (born in '77 so how could I not?!)
American History X
Anchorman
Se7en
Kill Bill
Coming to America
American Pie
Rain Man
Silence of the Lambs
Weird Science (must have cracked a few out to Kelly Le Brock over the years! )
Running Man
Scream
Forrest Gump
Lethal Weapon
Die Hard
Indiana Jones
The Elephant Man
Back to the Future
Boyz N the Hood

Favourite actor? Tom Hanks.... hands down!

Gotta be "The Green Mile" and anything with Kevin Spacey in.

City of God
Dead Man's Shoes

The Sting

Best film is almost impossible...lots of contenders but oddly (for a Star Wars kid) the film I've seen the most in my life is Ghostbusters.

It utterly gripped me. I even recall the first time I saw a clip on John Craven's Newsround - it fascinated me even then - the lights shooting into the sky, a possessed Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver, Slimer, the proton beams, etc, and I remember giddily telling my best friend about it afterwards. It was the first VHS I ever owned and I'm amazed it never disintegrated. Only as I grew older did I understood more about the truly outstanding cast and it all started to make sense. Great film.

And yes SaleSlim, the 80s rock.

Pulp Fiction my number one I cried with laughter watching that film for the first time,I don't think it will ever get dated.

Social Network I love too, seen it many times.

Here's one you guys have probably never seen from Shyamalan "The Village" very atmospheric on the big screen with a all star cast Joaquin Phoenix and Bryce Dallas Howard (daughter of Ron Howard) were fantastic.

Godfather 2.

Discussion ended.

Might want to revisit that now?

Interesting times - there are certain actors and execs who have undoubtedly been involved in some brilliant productions, which we may no longer want to support; certainly the case for me - the above named being on that list.
