To be safe, as usual I resort to Fluff.......
OK your favourite and worst top 3 films ever...
TOP
1. StarWars.... ROTJ
2. Jurassic Park
3. Wizard of OZ
WORST
1. Matrix 1,2, and 3
2. Rocky (all)
3. Karate Kid/JACKIE Chan
I'm such a simple soul ................
I don't have a 1 2 and 3 as there are so many films which have merits for different reasons. I would say that somewhere in my top 10 was The Matrix 1, Event Horizon and 2001 a Space Oddessy.
Somewhere in the bottom 10 would be all the Rocky films and a strange film I saw once about mutant frogs with 3 snakes - if anyone knows what it's called, I'll be amazed.
Some of my favorites...in no particular order:
Wait a minute. Are we talking the best films, or our favourite films? The reason I ask is that I adore Star Wars, I've watched it dozens of times but I certainly wouldn't say it was one of the best films. It's fun but it's certainly not in the same league as say, Schindler's List or Citizen Kane.
Oh but it is Tex.......StarWars is more than just a fun best film, its a great film. Its almost a religion in itself. A couple of years ago we had a national census over here in the UK , and for religion, many thousands entered "Jedi" as their prefferd choice. Ok they're nuts, but I smiled.
I reckon no better/best/great film has been made since StarWars....... it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and yet I don't know why.
Best:
Pulp Fiction
Donnie Darko
Office Space
The Sixth Sense
4 Rooms
Finding Nemo
Worst:
Stargate
Star Wars Attack of the Clones
Eyes Wide Shut
Any of the Austin Powers Movies
I'm not good at narrowing it down....
I liked:
As Good as it Gets
The Godfather I and II
Unforgiven
BTW
LS, I Own Office Space,
love it, it is a classic. Love Pulp Fiction too.
I hated:
Funny Farm. (should have been titled Unfunny Farm)
Gorillas in the Mist,
Batman Forever
Oh ,and The Avengers absolutely sucked..walked out near the end.

Gosh so many To kill a Mockingbird It's a Wonderful Life My Fair Lady So many more but right now I love Shrek My grandbaby has watched it since she was 6months old and the grin she gets is too much:D Today she was holding the DVD saying "Shrek Nanna Shrek":D GOtta love it
Best - (big budget)
Fargo, Goodfellas, Mulholland Drive
Best - (offbeat or Independent)
American Movie, The Believer, Sweet & Lowdown (which I just finished watching, great flick)
Worst -
Stargate, KISS meets the Phantom of the Park, Heartbreak Hotel (awful awful 80's movie about Elvis Presley)
For me personally, The Sound of Music will always be a favorite. The Wizard of Oz also. I am not bonkers about Gone With the Wind like many people, however the last few years I have only really liked two movies, Shawshank Redemption and Contact. These movies were and are absolutely awesome. Another favorite of mine with Harrison Ford - Witness. I also love watching American Graffiti, what a riot to see all the stars before they were stars!
