best movie ever made

Bringing Out The Dead

[NEON MERCURY]

Mulholland.  driVe..

[Gloria]

"Plan 9 From Outer Space"

That would be the best unintentional comedy ever.


Best movie ever....in terms of watching over and over again, I would have to say As Good As It Gets....but in terms of blowing my freaking mind away I would have to say Pulp Fiction

[SHAFTR]

best director, i'd say Ingmar Bergman.

best movie, I could say Citizen Kane or Breathless if we want to talk influence.

but I think the best movie, in the terms of it having everything is Lawrence of Arabia.

best movie - vertigo

best director ever - probably orson welles, in the classic hollywood sense

[Pas]

Best movie - Probably Citizen Kane or maybe even The Godfather, though both are not absolute favorites

Best director - Alfred Hitchcock I'd say. I like David Lynch a lot too, but to say "best" would sound bad.

I don't think I'll be able to make this b/c I will be editing.

"SPECIAL EVENT
Thursday, October 9, 3:30 p.m.
Sunrise
USA, 1927, 95 min., 35mm
Directed by F.W. Murnau.
Written by Carl Mayer.
Based on a story by Hermann Sudermann.
Produced by William Fox.
Cinematography: Charles Rosher, Karl Struss.
Editor: Harold D. Schuster.
With George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor.

One of the greatest films of all time, Murnau's pioneering masterpiece tells the tale of a young farmer, who, smitten by a hussy from the city, decides to kill his wife but cannot when his conscience gets the better of him. The married couple's love is rekindled during a trip to the big city. Cinematheque proudly presents a newly restored print of this Academy Award-winner, complete with the first-ever restoration of the film's original Movietone soundtrack. This screening will be introduced by Schawn Belston (Director of Film Preservation at 20th Century Fox) and Michael Pogorzelski (Director of the Academy Film Archive), both of whom played vital roles in the restoration process."

Thank you for making me insanely jealous.. then again you aren't going.  BUT it reminds me of a different missed opportunity.  Last month Cal State Long Beach had a Widescreen Festival (an annual thing).  John Bailey, who did the commentary for the Sunrise DVD - which I proudly own - was being honored and chose the films for the week-long festival.  Lo and behold, Sunrise is on the list.  I fucking couldn't go.  

Hope you take the time off from editing to see it... who knows it may inspire you.[/list]

best film ever: 2001: a space odyssey

best director ever: stanley kubrick

...and believe me, i'm not totally obsessed with him. those two choices are somewhat coincidental.

Best film: underground most definetly, and the elephant man, citizen kane and Dersu Uzala as close seconds.

Best Director: Kusturica, without a doubt and bergman.

Taxi Driver is overrated. Can't see how it's at the top of Tarantino's 'Best Films Ever'-list. Sorry. It's film of quality but I can't say I enjoyed that much.
