Best Movie You Have Ever Seen and Why

[TammyO]

We all love reading. However, there are times when we may want to take a break from reading and enjoy not a so-so movie but a great movie! What are some of your most enjoyable movies past or present, new or old?

Two movies that I completely enjoyed and would highly recommend is Gone With the Wind and Titanic. The actors and actresses were all great. Also, I was mesmerized throughout both films.

World War Z. Though it was different from the book, it was still an excellent movie. It was definitely one of the best zombie movies I have seen. The plot was very good as well as the acting and directing whic all combined making it into quite the unique movie and a great watch.

The Intouchables, ( recommended by Fran )...bravura performances by two unknown ( to me ) French actors........

This flick should be required viewing in all schools, ( although the story line has nothing to do w/race relations ) it is a stunning example of two men of different races /backgrounds, etc. thrown together, and from there a most interesting story evolves...

On a score of 1-10, I gave it an 11!

Flight is my favorite. Although it was critically acclaimed, I think it was the most suspenseful yet heartfelt movie ever. I think it will take some time for others to appreciate it as much as I have though. I just think it is very relatable and that is why I love it so much.

Rssllue I have had this movie on my list for awhile now! Thanks for affirmation. I really do hate wasting my time on a terrible film. This movie sounded so good when I was reading the synopsis I added it. However I was not sure still.

I agree. I absolutely love Denzel. This movie definitely showed another side of his acting abilities.

[suzy1124]

YES RSS, it most definitely broke the scale ( and I admittedly am not easy to please )

Tammy, I'd be curious to know of your opinion, btw if you have Netflix it's available on the streaming list...

LOVE that Denzel!...( never made a bad movie )

I dont think I have one favorite movie. I like many equally. The Five Pennies is a favorite, Pete Kelly's Blues, and Command Decision and The Searchers are a few. I could put down 40 or 50. Cant name just one.

Glad to be of any help I can, Tammy!

The Wizard of Oz................very UPLIFTING!...love the colors too, the VIBRANCY ! ( if not the BEST, surely one of the best )............it's definitely on my TOP TEN LIST !..

Those old MGM technicolor movies were awesome. Better colors than now.

I would have to say "City Of God" is my favorite movies because of it's truth, rawness, and grittiness. The story is a true story and one I can relate to. The story of a boy overcoming his tumultuous surroundings, never loosing who he is and finding his happiness in a world that contains so much violence and chaos. Great film!

The book was also very good..

Very true. Especially the musicals! The vibrant colors just jump out of the screen at you!

True " escapism " in those days, + that feel good feeling, that is in absentia today w/all the gratuitous sex, violence, etc..........

End of rant!
