Best movie ever?

I just thought that it was great film!

Indeed, but the question is whether you could explain why it is a great film? For me, that's a more essential question than having seen the film itself.
It has that certain 'something' about it. A sort of cinematic 'magic' that makes me feel better about myself after watching it.
Indeed, I always look at a flick that is seen and try to compare it to various films in the same genre and place it within the context of the history of cinema. And yes, that even includes that horrific Epic Movie I saw a few months ago.
Borat was the most fun I've ever had watching a film...
Gladiator is my favourite historical film...
Star wars is my favourite sci-fi...
La haine is my favourite foreign film...(French and definitely worth watching)
Con Air has to be mentioned...
After all those, I still love About a Boy, closely followed by the greatest animations of all time Lion King and Jungle Book...
(Bear in mind that I'm only 15)

Well, my personal favorite movie EVER is...
Office Space
I love that movie, but I try not to watch it much because it definitely makes me want to be a lazy bum for the rest of my life
As far as my favorite movie that motivates me...
Miracle
It probably helps that I am a hockey nut, but that movie can get me motivated to believe even when others say its impossible...and its a true story!

It sometimes seems like I'm the ONLY PERSON to think that Pulp Fiction was so-so...although I'm not partial to John Travolta at all...
I'm amazed that Fight Club has not been mentioned...not in my Top 5, but a lot of people's favourite film...
Don't imagine you have many takers in terms of dinner invitations eh?
After reading through this thread I realize how many movies I really love including The Godfather Pts. 1 and 2. I actually also like Pt. 3 but I don't thnk it was up to par with the first two.
My favorite director would probably be Jacques Rivette hands down...

Evidently I want to see his masterpiece Out One in the 12 hour version but apparently there isn't a DVD of it available.
I have Va Savoir on DVD and man, that's one of my favs during the past 7 years of my life.

Nice, I need get a copy of this one as well as Melville's Army of Shadows whenever that comes out too.
Add any movie by another favorite Andrei Tarkovsky and you get the following:
Andrei Rublev http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Rublev_(film)
Solaris (original version) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(1972_film)
The Mirror http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mirror_(1975_film)
Criterion is releasing Army of Shadows in May. I'm really psyched that the UCLA Film Archive is having a Godard retrospective starting this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak up there and catch some of his works that I haven't seen.
Dangit I'm already getting more broker and broker with my enlarging Criterion Collection set as well as getting more Apple stuff.
Funny that two companies can drive a man completely bankrupt!
