The greatest films of all-time
Sort:
I forgot the ff:
Night of the Living dead
Eraserhead
Elephant Man
King Kong 1933
I liked "Rocky" a lot (the original.) "Annie Hall", "Cinema Paradiso".
I think to much emphasis is put on very old movies, but I am sixteen (I haven't actually seen these old movies).
My list (in no particular order):
A Beautiful Mind
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Star Wars (of course)
The Sixth Sense
The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather Parts I and II
Lord of the Rings
The Silence of the Lambs
Good Will Hunting
And I don't care what people say, but I love Jackie Chan movies.
The Return of the Living Dead.
I do not understand people why you do not like "Forest Gump" . Ok .
about Sherlock Holmse i can say that best version is Soviet Version .
Even in England many people loves Soviet Sherlock Holmes (created in Russian language ( more actors are Russian , but also are from other Republics too) . Soviet Union really was not so good country , there was rejime , but many masterpieces created in art and in cinema in that times .
I love movies very much . It is no matter where they are produced America , Europe or other countries .
American great movie is also "Three Days of the Condor" political detective , great movie (casts Robert Redford ) .

Also wanted to point out a few others:
Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst (my favorite documentary...and hard to believe that any of that stuff happened!--even though I was there while it was going on)
Jacques Tourneur gems, like:
Cat People
I Walked With a Zombie
Curse of the Demon
And some more:
Born Yesterday
Billy Jack (yes, I'm serious!)
The Dead Zone (with a tremendous supporting performance by Herbert Lom)
Oh yeah, and my favorite series of all:
Dirty Harry
(with The Thin Man in a pretty close second place)
dirty harry is epic but i think it gets a bit tired when tyne daley shows up then really bottom of the barrel when the dead pool came about

I've never seen the original. Love the bit Kurt Russell accuses the Chess computer of being a 'cheating bitch' before pouring his whisky inside it. 
This movie was the first time I heard Stevie Wonder sing Superstition. Love that song. The effects still stand up today too.
I can't see a dog like the one in the movie without thinking of that part where it's snout comes apart.

Clearly our tastes differ, but it seems we agree on Billy Jack.
I fear I may be forced to block all references to "Billy Jack". And that includes acronyms, and limericks. Freedom has it's limits.

Thank you again, paatalogic. I don't like many American films, though. I hated "Forest Gump". The last great American film that I saw was probably "Memento".
I found Forest Gump nauseating. But there are plenty of good American films; they are usually unpopular (which in America means, lightly advertised). In the past few weeks I saw three new American films. The Road was excellent, but the only movie house in my city that had it somehow left it off the big board at the ticket counter. There were two dozen people in the audience. The day before (Christmas), Sherlock Holmes was packed (we were there) and Avatar was sold out (we saw it a week later). I enjoyed all three films, but two years from now probably will remember only The Road--by far the best of the three.
Crash is good. I like Magnolia and Coffee and Cigarettes. All American films from the past decade.
Really? The book was pure tripe. Dead Man was a fine choice; I found it amusing that I_Am_Nobody posted shortly after you, but made no reference to the film.
Forrest Gump was a pretty good book. I loved the part where Nixon tried to sell Forrest a gold watch! Casting Tom Hanks, though, as a 250lb.+ bruiser is a bit of a stretch and making Forrest a dumb "heart of gold" character kind of ruined the whole story. Oh well, it's rare that a movie lives up to the book it was taken from.
Sherlock Holmes as an action hero turns my stomach.
The Godfather Series
Saving Private Ryan
The Thing
Star Wars
Citizen Kane
Lord of the Rings
Little Caesar
Which version of "The Thing"? Hawks or Carpenter?
Both!
