Olivier 5 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 It's always so tough to reduce it to 10, 5, 1.Favorite?Perhaps Rio Bravo.I've always loved Westerns, and this one must be one of the reasons. It's one of those movies I watched over and over as a kid, and can see again now, always with the same immense pleasure. Since I have much less free time now, and I want to be sure to fully savor it, I usually try and watch it on my birthday; the ideal conditions to watch a Western are on a balmy Summer night; since I was born in late June, I often get close enough to ideal conditions.Everything about it is great; the situation; the characters; the humor; the suspense & action; the splendid leading lady; the actors; the music. I love it. The single best movie?I don't know; I can think of several contenders, but it's hard to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpigeon 3 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 The Third Man. Stylistically, it is simply unmatched. As for story itself, so much depth, so many layers. One can analyze it endlessly and continue discovering its complexities. There are many others that belong on my favorites and best lists, as I have no definitive favorite and no best, but I feel this is definitely among them.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 How exactly do you define "best"? Is it the most critically acclaimed film, or the one you feel most pressured into appreciating? If "best" isn't equal to "favorite," then you're not being honest with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I acknowledge that something like Schindler's List is a superb film, but I'm not gonna say, "Hmm, tonight I'm in the mood for something I'll really enjoy . . . HOW ABOUT SCHINDLER'S LIST!"That's how I distinguish favorite from best.~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
