What is your best film all time old or new.?

Mine is John Wayne’s final film The shootist, as it was a film about him dying of cancer. This came true as he died shortly after. He was a true American Icon.

I have many so here goes…
Milk (2008)- great adaptation of a true story, inspiring, Sean Penn and Josh Brolin are absolutely amazing (so is James Franco), Oscar-winning, a story of hope.

Titanic (1997)- great plot, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are outstanding, tearjerker, thrilling, Oscar-winning.

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)- great plot, great soundtrack, an eye-opener, inspiring, artistic, Oscar-winning
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM9Zi1IXz…

The Dark Knight (2008)- don’t worry, I’m not a huge fan of Batman, but this film is absolutely great. I haven’t even seen the first two Batman movies, but it didn’t even matter. The plot is perfect, the action is suspensful and thrilling, Heath Ledger was absolutely phenomenal in his role as The Joker. Every time there was a scene change, I would hope he’d be on screen because his role is just so creepy and flatout crazy. The movie takes turns you don’t see coming and the whole thing is a masterpiece.

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)- surprisingly deep, VERY artistic, very real about childhood emotions (doesn’t sugar-coat them), great soundtrack, speaks to the heart about the spirit of youth, perfect ending (in my opinion), visually captivating, one of my best movie picks for 2009
A.O. Scott said, “There are so many books and movies out there aimed at children, but only a few that really get it: how kids think and what they feel. Part of the reason is that grown-ups don’t want to acknowledge that children, just like everyone else, can be angry, sad, destructive, and confused. We’d prefer to see them as sweet and innocent. The great author and illustrator Maurice Sendak had no such allusions and his masterpiece ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ celebrates childhood in all its unruly glory…This is a movie that you should see, and then see it again.” This is this critic’s pick for best movie for 2009, and mine too.

Harold and Maude (1971)- honestly it’s a little weird, great quotes, a dark comedy with a sad but fulfilling ending that makes you feel happy and sad at the same time, great soundtrack (Cat Stevens), hilarious in an odd way, great story. But again, very weird and kind of odd. This is not a stupid comedy by any means, but rather a great story about life and death, full of funny moments. It is a really odd movie to try to describe but easily one of my all-time favortites. Please see it, although like I said you will see that it is odd within the first five minutes but just keep watching. Made me cry a bit at the end. This is a great story, it really is. It makes you think deeply as you roll on the floor laughing, and leaves you with a really great message and feel. In the end, it is a feel-good, quirky, hilarious and heartfelt movie. The perfect combo. Strongly recommend this one.

No Country for Old Men (2007)- suspensful, visually captivating, a bit bloody, thrilling, a bit confusing so you have to really pay attention throughout the film and you may need to see it again to understand it better, gives you chills, great acting by Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and especially Javier Bardem, perfectly put together, great quotes, Oscar-winning
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBqmKSAHc…

The Usual Suspects (1995 ?)- Such a great movie. It is a crime mystery story with a major plot twist at the end. Definitely a movie you need to watch, then watch it again because it is pretty trippy. Kevin Spacey won an Oscar for his role in this movie. This movie keeps you thinking, as not only the investigators try to figure out what happened, but so do you. Creatively crafted and masterfully put together. Don’t worry, there are also a few moments of comic relief. And it’s only about an hour, 45 minutes.

If you are looking for a comedy, I’d say “17 Again” (2009)- hilarious! Kinda sad and heart warming at parts and so worth it.
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCCt-a3Ds…

If you are looking for a great romace, I’d say “The Notebook.” It breaks your heart and has a great plot. Major tearjerker.
