Frank Darabont is amazing. I love The Green Mile, but The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest film ever made.

Life Of Brian is in a close second for me, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are also fantastic. I'm usually a sucker for comedy, and I've been watching Wayne's World and Life Of Brian since I was about 10 or 11 -------------

This comment nailed it. Shawshank is also in my top 10 films of all time, because let's face it, it is possibly the best film ever created. It's where my vote goes, no question. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

Good choice. First time I watched it, I was so gutted at the end 'cause I wasn't expecting for the hippies to get shot to hell by nutters... ------------- "Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself" - Sartre |

The Fifth Element for me. I love anything which mixes sci-fi with humor
and such, plus it's got an interesting soundtrack and Milla Jovovich with orange hair. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

It's obvious my tastes are quite different than yours.. with exceptions. The Fifth element - Decent, overrated, but decent definitely Wayne's World - Would never be in a 10000 best films list The green mile - very good film. The Shawshank Redemption - A masterpiece. The best on this list and one of the best of all time. Yellow Submarine - music kills it  Easy Rider - Great film. iconic in a way. Borat - Quite overrated for my taste. I don't like Cohen's humor... or him... Blazing Saddles - An atrocity. Worst film ever by Mel Brooks (who I used to like but now I realize he only has two and a half good movies.... ) Awful. -------------

| Could someone explain what's so special about The Shawshank Redemption? It's an enjoyable movie with an interesting story and great acting, but what is it that makes it the greatest film (or one of the greatest films) of all time? |

Sleuth? i love Sleuth but, which one do you mean? I believe there was a recent one with Mr Caine in it too? But I haven't seen that one. Blazing Saddles and Fifth Element are 'enjoyable romps' . I really didn't get Easy Rider.
But Life of Brian is on this list so it has to be my favourite comedy ever - But remember everyone - He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy!

I guess I'm kind of an elitist when it comes to movies . I was going to say something like "Where the hell is Magnolia?? Run Lola Run?? Reservoir Dogs?? Se7en??", but instead of being a douche I'll just look on the bright side of life and vote Life Of Brian. Although for Python affairs I prefer Holy Grail  |

3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. The Green Mile
5. The Fifth Element
6. Borat
7. Wayne's World 2
the rest I've either yet to see or, in the case of Yellow Submarine, have no interest in seeing -------------  Time always wins. |

| Great list. I hate to be cliche, but I went with The Shawshank Redemption. One of my top five films of all time, too. I also love Life of Brian and Blazing Saddles too. |

I'm going to go ahead and be controversial and say that I think The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. Yes I said it. It's always seemed pretentious to me, but I'm pretty sure I'm alone there. So out of this list I'm going with Life of Brian.

I am of the opinion that Wayne's World 2 is about one-fifth as good as its predecessor. Had you picked WW1, I probably woulda voted for it. As it stands, though, I'll rack up the vote for Life of Brian ------------- "WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!! WAAAAAOOOO!!!" -The Great Gig in the Sky |

Sleuth is far too good a film not to have any votes so I voted for that (I'm assuming it's the great Caine-Olivier original not the inferior remake with Jude Law). Life of Brian is good but over-rated IMO - Holy Grail is much funnier. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |
