Tried too look up a comprehensive list and all movies were from the 90's or later.

Well my two favorites are "Dirty Harry" and "The Wizard of Oz"

My guilty pleasure is "The Posiedon Adventure".

I know a total vanity, have fun it's saturday

[No name given]

I always loved “E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind”.

Sound of Music

[Dalberg-Acton]

John Wayne’s The Searchers belongs in that list.

[Diogenesis]

[Alberta's Child]

“Conagher” … a made-for-TV movie, but arguably the best western ever made.

[ratzoe]

Cool Hand Luke, Tombstone, Lucy, Forrest Gump(a trip down memory lane with the music), African Queen, The Dirty Dozen, Shawshank...just few of my faves.

1 of my favorites was just on tv, tho it’s not one of the greatest of all time....Bogart & Bacall in Dark Passage.
As for greatest, Gone With the Wind has to be near the top.

[Michigan Bowhunter]

The Godfather. First Blood. Rambo, First Blood part 2. Top Gun...it’s a love story.

“Well my two favorites are “Dirty Harry” and “The Wizard of Oz” “

It seems like a discordant strange combination.

I have many among my favorites, but I can only lump them together as such, with nothing as singularly “the best” all by itself - not even a “top ten” ect. Each has its own attributes that I like with none diminishing what I like about the others.

The Lives of Others

Cool Hand Luke

Many others, like Bernadette’s Feast

[ratzoe]

“Conagher” … a made-for-TV movie, but arguably the best western ever made.

Another made for tv miniseries Lonesome Dove, by far my favorite, every character was nailed perfectly from the book.

[mairdie]

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Ghost and Mrs Muir, Portrait of Jennie, Iron Man series, Superman series, RED, Sunset, For Love of the Game...

[Migraine]

Doctor Zhivago (1965) does it for me.

[Fledermaus]

Classics;

Citizen Kane

Gone With the Wind

Patton

Star Wars A New Hope.

All movies that changed the way movies are made with innovations in cameras, lenses, etc.

[Dilbert San Diego]

There’s so many different types of movies.

There are comedies, musicals , dramas , science fiction, and others I can’t think of off the top of my head. We all would have favorites within different categories. It can be hard to compare a different movies from different categories to each other

One of my favorites is The Best Years Of Our Lives.

[daler]

The original Magnificent Seven.

Jaws
