It's good to be the king...
Currently watching "When We Were Kings" on SKY - truly a great documentary.

amelie
citizen kane
fight club (great book, too)
seven samurai
there are so many great movies its hard to say what the best ever is. many movies, even movies one would consider "bad", are good for different reasons. for instance, "amelie" makes me feel great, "citizen kane" was directed so well and was revolutionary, "fightclub" speaks to me and is a great piece of social commentary, and "seven samurai" is so moving and way ahead of its time.
shawshank redemtion is amazing as well, and as a huge spiderman fan, 15yrs and counting, i thought the movies were fantastic. i can't see why people don't like them, is it because of the romance? thats a huge part of the character and many of the stories over the years.
and i just saw "walk the line" and i highly recommend it

Kingpin with Woody Harrelson.
Best movie ever? Howard the Duck!
Only kidding, some excellent nominations (Shawshank/Twelve Angry Men/Star Wars/Jaws)
I think I'll have to go with Shawshank. Although the original Batman movie with Adam West would be a very close second place.
What weighs 12oz, sits in a tree and is dangerous?
A sparrow with a machine gun!
That's right Robin
C'mon what other films have classic lines like that?

Cinderella Man

These are just a few of my favorites off the top of my head. I'm sure I could add more to the list if I thought about it for a few mins.

There are ten+ I could list out, but I at a stretch I think I could say Magnolia is my favourite film. It is so beautifully directed by PT Anderson 
bowdown: ) that Tom Cruise seems like he can act and it's running time of over 3 hours is barely noticeable. It has an awesome soundtrack by Aimee Mann too.
I love films with lots of different sub-plots and ensemble casts, Magnolia for me is the best one. Has some beautiful imagery and themes throughout.
I said I'd keep it to one, but I'm gonna cheat by saying anything by Todd Solondz would come a close second.
