Pre-Oscar movie chit chat
 

Okay, name the single best film you saw in the past year and ten of your favorites of all time just for fun.

Who wants to go first?

I didn't see a movie last year

In no particular order

Dog Day Afternoon
All GodfAthers (well..maybe not #3)
Mad, Mad, Mad World
Groundhog Day
CaddyShack
GoodFellas
Rear Window
Pulp Fiction
Wait Until Dark ( Audrey Hepburn version)
Magnolia

Nice list, GB. :)

Yeah, I'd agree about Godfather III.:D

Best film in the past year, The Kite Runner

Top ten off the top of my head.....

La Strada (Fellini's masterpiece)
The Boys in the Band (best dialogue EVER... Mart Crowley, from his play)
Ball of Fire (favorite screwball comedy)
Strangers on a Train (favorite Hitchcock)
8 and a half (another Fellini)
Die Xue Jie Tou (A Bullet in the Head) (John Woo directed)
Godfather II (Nuf said)
You Can't Take it With You (fantastic writing)
Wings of Desire (Wim Wenders.... maybe a little dated now but still... stunning)
The English Patient (sweeping shots, great music, nothing is what it seems, the only movie i ever liked better than the book)

Braveheart
Shawshank Redemption
Gettysburg
Casablanca
Big Lebowski
Gladiator
The Godfather
The Sting
Princess Bride
Mr Smith Goes to Washington

omg..English Patient? I'd rather be cockswain in the breeding shed than sit through that again

I have no top ten list but the best film I saw last year is "This is England"

close second is "The Wind that Shakes the Barley".....though I will never watch it again because I cried like a baby through half the film.

:D

It's funny but I only know one other person who loved that film and I think he read the book too.....

Fills in the blanks.

Not my usual kinda film. I love war movies, gangster movies too but yeah..... the music makes me melt and the shots are stunning. Collin Firth doesn't exactly hurt.:p

I am not a big movie guy, but here is my list in no order.

GODFATHER
WALL STREET
APOLLO 13
THE DEPARTED
GLADIATOR
THE FUGITIVE
UNCOMMON VALOR

There Will Be Blood is good but primarily due to Daniel Day-Lewis' performance.

Who do you think you are getting a name change?
