If you could choose ONE (only one) movie that you would describe as the greatest movie of all time, what would it be?

I thought about this a lot, and I'm pretty convinced that it's Back to the Future.

There's tons of movies I think are amazing, but Back to the Future is one of those movies that can never be outdone, nor should it be remade, or anything.

A movie that is so perfectly casted, manages to blend genres so successfully, and can forever stand the test of time.

Oh... and they made a time machine out of a DeLorean for goodness sakes!

What a great question that one can go in many directions due to ones age and personality. With so many genres, do you go with a comedy, horror, drama, porno or movie you were watching while lost your virginity?

From Stripes, Clockwork Orange, The Doors, Steven Kings IT, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack or a cheesy 80s movie like Real Genius...Damn good question Chris, and for me, it would be Dazed and Confused.

The best movie is Jurassic Park. I remember when it came out in 93 (I was 11), and I went to the theatres to see it. As soon as it was released on VHS we bought it, and I watched it over, and over, and over...... I still watch it quite often. I mean who doesn't love those YJ's? A Jurassic Park YJ is one of my dream builds!!
 
Jaws!!! :tiburon: Yep. Big f'n fish with a bad attitude and a big mouth, and just won't leave a fella alone. Evert time I watch it, I'm reminded of my third wife! :mad:

I have probably seen "Jaws" twenty times, or more. I just never tire of that movie. :)
' Your gonna need a bigger boat ! '..….great line in that movie and the best part was that it was adlibbed.

Picking just ONE is huge ask however.....The movie Airplane..... corny, stupid and totally original. It's the type of movie you can watch a few times and there is always something going on in the background that you missed the first few time you watched it.

'Surely you cant be serious...I am serious but don't call me Shirley'
' I picked a great time to give up smoking'
' Joey,have you ever been in a Turkish prison?'

Makes me smile just typing this out haha

"No thank you, I take coffee black, just like my men"
 
what is funny about blazing saddles is when it was in the movies my parents went to see it as they thought it was just a western cowboy movie. Funny thing was there was a black couple sitting in front of them...all laughed the entire time...."Excuse me while I whip this out!"
 
There are many but few shocked the public more than this one. And that makes it #1 for me.

Fun fact that when the movie was premiered (opening night) In New Zealand This was when you had intervals in the movies...they stopped the movie and served the first 3 rows baked beans then re-started the movie at the scene around the Camp fire haha
