I'd say..I *would* like to raise the issue...... - SpanishPal, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 1

Blade Runner is the finest movie ever made. The struggle to live, does it make you evil? Just to be alive for a few minutes longer, don't we all deserve to live?

Tears in the Rain

He visto cosas que vosotros no podríais creer. Naves de ataque ardiendo más allá de Orion. He visto rayos-C brillando cerca de la Puerta de Tannhauser. Todos esos momentos se perderán en el tiempo como lágrimas en la lluvia. Es hora de morir.

Es una lástima que ella no pueda vivir, pero... ¿quién vive?

Agree, Jeezzle. Beautiful film. - Leatha, Aug 13, 2011

A master-piece for its time - lagartijaverde, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 2

Como que uno de nuestro compañeros ha propuesto el tema como una pregunta gramatical , quisiera plantear la cuestión como cultural. Según su opinión, ¿cuáles son las mejores peliculas de todos los tiempos? Mi voto va por Casablanca y El dictador de Chaplin.

I would go, maybe, for the best 30 movies or so. It is too hard to find THE best one.

Muchas gracias Lazarus - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

Can you enumeate a few at least from the 30? - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

CompañeroS ha propuesto?? Shouldn't that be 'compañeros haN propuesto or compañerO hA propuesto? - SpanishPal, Aug 13, 2011

@SP:ha agrees w/ uno, not w/ compañeros. - Deanski, Aug 13, 2011

Thanks, Deanski - SpanishPal, Aug 14, 2011

Answer 3

" It's a wonderful life." Jimmy Stewart. Yeah.

Answer 4

My vote would be for one which is unknown and was a real flop at the theaters, Far From the Madding Crowd.

It was John Schlesinger's 1967 adaptation of the book starring Julie Christie, Terence Stamp, Peter Finch, and Alan Bates.

I've read thousands of books in my days and hated every movie adaptation. This one, however, was exactly as I pictured it in my mind reading the book

The opening scene was masterfully done and each scene following captured perfectly the characters, while still telling the story faithfully.

I'll never understood why no one else has ever mentioned it to me

So there's my opinion, which will get the "Least Known Award!"

I agree Terri, it's a beautiful film and always has me blubbing! - galsally, Aug 13, 2011

I haven't seen it, but the story seems to be melodramatic, but the actors are very famous names. - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

Wow, you guys could knock me over with a feather! - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

"madding" not "maddening" - a common mistake but ... - samdie, Aug 13, 2011

Ohhh -- you are so right, and I am sooo embarrassed! Thanks a gillion for catching that, Samdie!! - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 5

Gone with the Wind! It has War, slavery, peace, love hate, betrayal, bravery, nobility, selfishness, selflessness, the human condition etc. A truly great movie!

First as a child, who was reared on the Uncle Tom's cabin , I refused this book, but later the love convinced me. - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 6

"Dances with Wolves" would be my favorite based only on how many times I have watched it . Otherwise it is almost impossible to determine.

Sometime in a chat I will tell you a story behind the special effects scenes. - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 7

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorites. As Terri said it's rare to find a good adaptation from a book but this is both true to the originally story and beautifully cast.

Chaplin's Modern Times is amazing. The scene where he goes through the cogs of the machine is unforgettable.

You are right , it was a very good fillm, and I have a soft spot for Gregory Peck. - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

Hey, two more of the greatest films of all time. - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 8

Many of the films by Kurosawa, Bergman and Buñuel come to mind.

Ah, Kurosawa. There was a master, indeed. Naturally, Bergman and Buñuel were giants among geniuses, too. - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

Answer 9

Mi favorita es 'El Padrino'. Es un cuento de violencia, pero tambien, una de tragedia por los que no querían ser una parte, pero se creían ser obligados

Desafortunadamente, no puedo ir a un bautismo sin pensar de las escenas mezcladas entre la ritual y la terminación de la 'empresa familiar'.

My favorite is "The Godfather". It is a story of violence, but also a tragedy for those who didn't want to be a part, but believed they were obligated.

Unfortunately, I can't go to a baptism without thinking of the scenes mixed between the ritual and finishing of "the family business".

(Corrections are welcome. I'm sure I continue to have grammatical and other errors. Thanks in advance.)

Gracias, Samdie. - DR1960, Aug 15, 2011

Answer 10

Boy, what a tall order!

Best movie of A L L time. I can think of many that I've liked, and watch several times, but the best one....hmmmmmmm

As a lawyer, I loved 12 Angry Men (Peter Fonda) and I can watch that several times before I get bored.

You are right, but that was the topic, the best movies of all time - porcupine7, Aug 13, 2011

In my opinion, you did pick one of the truly *great* movies! - territurtle, Aug 13, 2011

jejeje, you would - Yeser007, Aug 13, 2011
