lolz... I think 95% percent of y'all should spend more time in the foreign/arthouse movies section of your local video store... It's saddening to think your experiences of cinema may only be limited to hollywood fare.

 

Go check out some Akira Kurosawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Zhang Yimou, Peter Greenaway, Fellini, Luc Besson or even Guy Ritchie films... you wont be disappointed :)

Lol, yeah... I'll admit I haven't see all that many forgein movies except for a few french or asian movies. "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" is a great one in the french category. Oh and how could I forget the japanese movie "Battle Royal", that's just too hilarious...

Alright, I change mine to The Fifth Element, Jackie Chans Police Story and Lock Stock.

Are we talking about "The BEST movie ever made" or "Your FAVORITE movie ever made"?

 

If it's the best movie, then my answer would be the first 2 parts of the Godfather Trilogy.

 

Favorite movie? Umm... tough one.

 

Maybe "The Big Lebowski."

I wondered the same thing. I fear for humanity when horrid films like "The Matrix" even get mentioned in a thread about "best movies".

Thought you'd like that. ;)

 

"Best Movie" is also a tough one to nail down... there are so many great choices.

 

At best all you can really do is make a list of the "Most Important/ Most Influential Movies of All Time" that will be several hundred entries long, and endlessly debated.

Well, since I do live in Canada and Hollywood is in the United States, I do watch foreign movies.

My all time favorite is definately Super Troopers, but some of my other favorites are Black Sheep, Blues Brothers, LotR(all), SW(all), We Were Soldiers, Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers Series, King Kong, Batman Begins, and many more that I'm either too lazy to list, or I just can't think of them right now.
