Lawrence of Arabia...

was too young to see it on the big screen when it first came out....and some years back...when it was digitally remastered...saw it on the big screen in Mike Walsh's beautifully restored Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace in Cremorne....a rare treat.....and a real cult audience.....everybody swapping stories at intermission about when they first saw it...and stories of filming (I'd just read Omar Shariff's autobiography so had plenty of those) ...was just a big party of folks bringing the next generation along to see a magnificent film....glad I saw it on the big screen before I died....

Wow...now that's a toughie! GOOD question!

I'd have to say "The Departed"....great acting, characters, plot. Leo, Jack, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and directed by Martin Scorcese...all were fantastic.

I'm assuming it doesn't have to be the bestest super movie ever (because there is no such movie)... So I'll just name one of the movies I'm really glad I've seen...

The Garden State ... It appeals to me for a huge number of reasons, which I won't go into here....

 

Just wanted to add a random quote from the movie here... Since it seems popular.

 

Karl Benson: Hey man, I thought you killed yourself.
Andrew Largeman: What?
Karl Benson: I thought you killed yourself. That wasn't you?
Andrew Largeman: No, no, tha-that wasn't me.

The absolute funniest movie I have ever seen, which by the way fits this topic perfectly...

"Monty Pythons - Meaning of Life"

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Braveheart

 

William: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.

Young soldier: William Wallace is 7 feet tall.

William: Yes, I've heard.  He kills men by the hundreds, and if he were
here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts
of lightning from his arse.  I am William Wallace, and I see a whole

army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny.  You have come

to fight as free men, and free men you are.  What will you do with
that freedom? Will you fight?

Veteran soldier: Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live.

William: Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live.  At least a while. 
And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to
trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one
chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take
our lives, but they'll never take our freedom !

It's really interesting that someone would ask this.

I'm a classical percussionist and back in Jr. High School in '72 my orchestra performed the soundtrack from Man Of La Mancha by Francis McBeth.

It was a magnificent score, my part on the Timpani was the BOMB, it would bring you out your seat.  However my never experiencing the movie, I didn't know the plot or the characteristics to this great film so I didn't have an appreciation for it from other than a performance level.

Two weeks ago Man Of La Mancha with Peter O' Toole and Sophia Loren came on TV and I finally watched it uninterrupted in its entirety.

I'm a little embarrassed to say that after 37 years, I finally get what this movie was about!  Embarrassed because I didn't let the greatness of this movie in, while the opportunity was directly in front of me as a child.

This is one movie that I was damn glad to see at last. 

There are other notable soundtracks I've performed "Zorba The Greek", "Exodus", "Doctor Zhivago" and "War & Peace" that I haven't watched yet as well.  And they are all now on my "Must Watch" list!

Yup, and just about anything with John Wayne ('cept war movies - don't like modern warfare movies)... Rio Bravo comes to mind.

Anything with Ruther Hauer is good also... Blind Fury, Flesh & Blood and Salute of the Jugger...

"The Hidden" with Kyle McLachlan

"The Lord of the Rings" trilogy

"The Ten Commandments"

"Ben Hur"

The Legend of King Arthur: Director's Cut with Clive Owen

 Oh shit!  Guess I said too much then!

My Bad!

 

On a side note, I do like the way the Marvel and DC comic books have finally come to life.

So throw in any of the X-men, Superman, Ironman, SilverSurfer, Fantastic 4, Hulk, Dark Knight (Batman '66 w/ Adam West, too corny), DareDevil and all the rest of the comic heros on my I'm glad to have seen list.

But to me the greatest movie of all time that I can watch a million times and never get tired;

Godzilla 1957 w/ and or w/o Raymond Burr (depends on how you look at it)

Don't take the blame for THAT. If he wanted like a one-liner-thread he should have been clear about it. There was nothing wrong with your post.
