Let's play a game. Best RPF movie EVAR!

[Funky]

Inspired by this: Search: Zagat's top 20 movie picks - Top 20 best films - 1

I was like, "Godfather"? Really? Best movie ever? :confused
Don't get me wrong, I love the entire trilogy but I don't know that I would call the first one the best movie ever, with the second being #2.

I'd like to get an "official" RPF best movie ever based on votes.
It's simple. I'd like everyone to post with ONLY a movie title that in your opinion is THE best movie ever. Please no discussions, just the title of your movie and that's it. The reason for this request is so that nobody has to feel that they have to defend their decision. Hey, if you feel "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is a piece of cinimatic mastery, post it! (tes, we will all point and laugh at you...:lol)
We'll tally them up on Monday and we'll see what a bunch of movie prop builders think the greatest movie in history is!

I'll begin with...

I keed! I keed!







Best movie EVAR, though....that's REALLY tough.



I can't decide between The Phantom Menace or Crystal Skull...




Seriously, though, can we maybe get a better sense of what "best" means? Like, most entertaining, or technically best, or most innovative, or what? What criteria make something the "best"?

Raiders of the Lost Ark...for the win

 

[TheNickFox]

Good Will Hunting...but probably only because at various points in my life I've been able to identify with Will very strongly.

American Beauty is also in the running for me, if only for the closing monologue by Kevin Spacey.
