GOODFELLAS Named BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

[Dryden]

I know that most of you aren't into foreign films, so I'll make a few serious recommendations for the beginner (geared to a male audience): the Kenneth Branagh version of Henry V; any of the Ealing comedies, especially Ladykillers; the early Mel Gibson movie Gallipoli, directed by Peter Weir (The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society, Green Card); Breaker Morant, a war trial movie similar to Kubrick's Paths of Glory; Grand Illusion, a prisoner of war movie; Diabolique, a Hitchcock style thriller; Aguirre: Wrath of God, a more or less true story about a mad Spanish conquistador; M, starring pre-Hollywood Peter Lorre as a serial child-killer; and any of the Eastwood "spaghetti westerns" and the Kurosawa samurai movies.

Branagh's 1989 version of Henry V as well as Gallipoli are both excellent choices. Of the Kurosawa films, I'd recommend Ran above all of them.

nice list. which gladiator movie? the one with russel crowe, or the boxing movie with cuba gooding jr.? i like both, but the boxing one is sweet.

I prefer "Gladheateher" with Jenna Jameson

no fair... you just copied CCI's list

I did a google search and got a list of funny porn names. I was crying when I read it and the comments the author put after each title.

Definitely the Crowe movie-I forgot about the Gooding movie.

Henry Hill -- the former mobster whose life story became the basis for the movie "Goodfellas" -- died today at the age of 69

You got a problem with that?

I thought Henry Hill was the guy in the movie 76 trombones? He was a mobster?
