Movies The Best film you've ever seen?

[FB]

Can I recommend anything, and I mean anything, by the Coen Brothers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coen_brothers

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Scarface
Pianist
Blow
Mesrine 1&2
Godfather 1,2 & 3
Return of the Pink Panther
Cannonball Run
Get Carter
Bladerunner
Starwars (the first ones were so good that they hold the later ones up higher than they deserve on thier own merit)
Natural Born Killers
Matrix (1st only)
A Prophet
Escape from Alcatraz
Point Break
Full Metal Jacket

Impossible to have a favourite. Like music, it depends on the time, place, mood and a bunch of other things. My answer will likely be different every time.

I really enjoyed Traffic, although I think confusingly there are two films with the same name?

Shawshank Redemption, of course.

Plus a significant number of those already mentioned.

Can I also recommend the original Swedish language versions of "The Girl Who..." trilogy. Not seen the Hollywood remake and probably won't as these are just fantastic. The Baader Meinhoff Complex, a brilliant German language film. All About My Mother, a Spanish film which will really tug at the heart strings. And if you haven't seen any Japanese horror, what have you been doing with your lives?

City of Gods

I tried watching them but I was too scared to finish them

...And now you've made me think of them just as I was planning to head to bed.

Getting far too cultural, let's add : Les Patterson saves the world .... a guilty pleasure of mine

Hey, we all enjoy a bit of harmless crap every now and again.

Cars the Disney Pixar movie

Also, the nutty professor!

Gone in 60 seconds is pretty good too, quite a good story (could be a bit better though), and of course, the classic, Terminator 2 Judgement day.

 

[gethinceri]

I've always wanted to watch Happy Gilmore. It starts in 15mins. Is it worth it?

Well this is a bit late...but, yes it is

 

[gethinceri]

It was, you're right.

As soon as I read the title of the thread I had a few films come to mind .... some have been mentioned already, some haven't.

Love the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series, most of the James Bond series....
.... and almost anything with Liam Neeson or Jack Nicholson in it. Oh, and all the Marx Brothers films.

If I had to pick a single film it would be The Usual Suspects - seen it several times and notice a little something new each time.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Watching Bad Boys II right now...

Michael Bay may take a lot of stick for his films, but he sure does know how to make an Damn! entertaining film!

The Rock
Bad Boys
Bad Boys II

These are his best...

The first one was pretty good, but the rest of them weren't so much to my liking. Decent films anyway. Maybe they were rushed a bit too much, I don't know. From what I've heard of, the Hollywood re-make of the first movie is good and follows the book more closely than the Swedish one.
Adding to the "Best film's I've ever seen" list some Finnish ones:
Mies vailla menneisyyttä (The Man Without a Past)
Kaasua, Komisario Palmu! (Gas, Inspector Palmu!)

 

[siffert_fan]

Puhoon,
Judging by the title of the last movie, does inspector Palmu have a flatulance problem?

Porridge the film version.
Where they playing a game of football, but Godber and Fletcher end up been victims of crime, when a fellow inmate goes on the run. Their find him in the changing rooms after Godber ends up hitting his head on a post and he's tying the bus driver to the loo. But the bus driver is in on the act aswell! Godber and Fletcher end up running back to the bus and break back into the prision and end up in the cellar of the policemans club bar . That film never gets old and still makes me left everytime i see it.
