Amelie. Nowhere in Africa. My life as a dog. Shawshank too, I guess.

Payback. Everything in this movie is perfect. Just talking about it makes me want to watch it again

Not seen that in a long time, good film but not one of my all timers

Fight Club, absolutely LOVE it

I have to say the Shawshank Redemption - classic movie!!

I second the Shawshank Redemption. You can watch it over and over again and it is still as fresh as when you first watched it.

Had to be Rent. Best movie ever. (IMHO!!)

American history X for me, Ed Norton is amazing.

Dirty Harry is the best for me

I'd have to go with Léon .

the best film of all time as someone just pointed out to me is the matrix first movie,was there a better big screen movie ever,yeh it's complex but it was just mindblowing,yeh your goin to say,buts the acting ****!reaves is wooden, you can't judge a film on affects alone,right!wrong what makes a good film?what makes a good film great,what makes a great film into a top movie of all time? i know it's the acting,the effects,the drama,the tension,edge of your seat it's a combination of them all...
yep like critic said it's smaltzy, like it or loathe it the film that most people talk about is TITANIC.
personally i go for gladiator,it's all about preference..

This is a pet hate of mine (so are vocal grammarians on forums, but that is by-the-by). "My best film" implies ownership in the content of the film; it should surely be "my favourite film".

Anyway - my bestest films am:
The Big Lebowski (If I'm after a laugh)
or
Children of Men (If I'm after some soul-searching)

Having seen it at the weekend, finally, I'm seriously considering "In Bruges". It is absolutely chock full of brilliant quotes - NSFW!!!, great performances and a great script, and even the IMDB parental guidance for it makes fun reading...

nichomanch - that is a great film - to my surprise the wife loved it too.

loved the monologue at the end.

Dances with Wolves for me. The extended version is just breathtaking.

I also highly rate The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as being one of my most favourite films of all time.
