Best Films Ever

By a million miles. That performance will never be beaten.

I don’t think I have seen a Heath Ledger performance in any film of his that wasn’t knock it out of the park brilliant. There was one based around medieval jousting (can’t remember the title) that was just awesome.
 
A Knights Tale. Paul Bettany also excellent in it.
 
Usual Suspects
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Die Hard
Goodfellas
12 Angry Men
Magnificent Seven (original)
Shawshank Redemption
Zulu
Mississippi Burning
Blues Brothers
The Green Mile
Airplane
Pale Rider
Gladiator
Godfather part 1
Rocky
Black Hawk Down
The Untouchables
The Italian Job (original)
Blazing Saddles

Just noticed a lot of dead bodies in those films!
 
Here’s ten that I love and might not all be on the lists above (you’ve already all named loads of my favourites):

12 Angry Men (OK, it’s on loads of lists but…)
North by Northwest
The Third Man
All about my Mother
The Lady Vanishes
Pulp Fiction
Secrets and Lies
The Ladykillers (the proper one)
Tie me up tie me down
Muppets Christmas Carol

Something for everyone?!
 
No mentions for Zero Dark Thirty yet, I was hoping that would finally convince me to getting round to watching it...
 
Can some geeky enough figure out how to compile a collective TWF top 10 films?
 
For a fist full of dollars (any of the spaghetti westerns, they're all excellent)
Trainspotting
The Doors
The big lebowski
Excalibur
Full metal jacket
Predator
Terminator 2
Alien
Batman (I loved this as a kid, never beaten imo)
Shawshank
True Romance
The life of Brian
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Blow
Carlito's way
Being John Malkovich
Clockwork Orange
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Planes trains and automobiles/Uncle Buck

Could have had the Matrix, but it was ruined by the guff that followed. To be fair, that's just a list of films I like and can remember, I have a memory like a goldfish for names of things and what I've watched.

I don't know that one. 😛
 
Oh and Spinal Tap which I think Gav picked.

God knows how many times I've watched that. More than 11.
 
I forgot a few, yes you've reminded me
Spinal tap,
Uncle buck,
Blues brothers,
Made in Britain ( Tim Roths debut, he plays a skinhead, it's on YouTube worth a watch)
Scum,
Full monty,
Quadrophenia
Monty Python and the holy grail ( controversial, but better than life of Brian imo)

Dunno if these count as they're more documentaries than films,
Lemmy
Don't you wish that we were dead ( punk band the damned )
Battle for Chernobyl ( they play this on the coach trip there from Kiev)
Oil city confidential ( dr feelgood)
 
Lock stock and two smoking barrels - if only to see Vinny Jones trying to act & acting the same as he was on the football field

So many others mentioned that 40 would not have been a problem to get to

The Monty Python is the right one - funnier than Life of Brian

And it has a shrubbery
