I can't believe that no one has mentioned "Ishtar"

I think SHANE may be the greatest movie ever made.

Casablanca. Good story. Great cast.
I particularly like Ingrid Bergman.

Oh pooh on all of them.
There is only one greatest movie ever made and that is Casablanca. It had everything.
Sure, there are lots of comedies that make you laugh your tushie off, but that does not make for a "great" movie.
Second on the list has got to be "A Man For All Seasons". Awesome, it exhudes integrity of the human spirit. It is a great antitode for seeing Clinton (either one) on the tube. Every time I see a Clinton on the screen I have to watch AMFAS to feel clean again. Greatest line is "But Richard, it profits a man nothing to give up his soul for the whole world. ... But for Wales??" Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Then there is "The Browning Version" (the original 1951 British production, NOT the 1994 remake).
Can't leave "Zulu" off the list.
Apollo 13 (even though it has Tom Hanks) - hard to feel down after watching it.
Das Boot, of course.
All those Fred Astair and Ginger Rodgers flicks.
Can't leave "Spartacus" off the list. The interplay between the Gracchus (Charles Laughton) and Batiatus (Peter Ustinoff) is brilliant.
Blazing Saddles

I can't believe it. Over 200 posts and no one has mentioned ON THE WATERFRONT.
Brando at his peak. Taut direction by Elia Kazan. One of the most haunting movie scores ever; written by Leonard Bernstein. The script by Budd Schulberg about the slow, tortured awakening of a man's conscience.
The taxi scene between Brando and Rod Steiger, "Ya don' unnerstan'. I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contenda."
People!

My favorite movie of all time is the original "Blues Brothers". Great performance by John Belushi, fabulous musical performances, and two really top quality car chases!
But I have to say that "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" has recently come in at a close second. Even without car chases!

Monty Python & the Holy Grail, LOTR:FOTR
