The Godfather

#2 is the original Star Wars

The influence these two movies have had cannot be put into words. By me, in a decent amount of time, coherently.

I submit that Die Hard is not only the greatest Christmas movie of all time, as is common knowledge, but that it's also a singularly perfect piece of cinema and objectively the best thing ever put to screen.



Runner-ups for me would be Fight Club (my personal favorite) and the original Alien.

Taxi Driver, or Blade Runner. But probably Taxi Driver.

I feel way underqualified to name anything The Greatest ____ Ever because it's such an overwhelming title, who am I to judge, I don't know nearly enough about ____, so many people have ideas, I have personal tastes that bias me, is there any way to truly mark anything the greatest of anything when we're all spacedust floating through the cosmic void...

Etc., etc., etc.

That said, if you put a gun to my head and made me pick, I'd probably say The Silence of the Lambs.

Well excuse me, as I think I'll be inviting someone for lunch.

As for the movies I might think of as the greatest of all time? At the moment, I'm thinking of "Wolf Children" and "Moonrise Kingdom"... Theres probably a cross-over joke to be made from that.

EDIT: ... But I selected The Room. No one said Greatest refers to a neccessarily good catagory, as The Room can be a "Greatest" of something in some way.

No Shawshank Redemption? That's like holding an election for greatest president of all time and not including Abe Lincoln.

If the question is which movie I personally like the most, I think it's probably Office Space.

But "greatest" implies some artistic merit beyond being funny as hell, so I suppose I'll go with my favorite artistically significant film, The Godfather.
