You are sadly mistaken on your choice of best movie ever. It ultimately comes down to a tie between Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles, both clearly the most quotable movies ever.

You lose sir, it's a choice between Caddyshack and Slapshot.

I must defer to Clou here, Blazing Saddles is the greatest piece of cinematic majesty to ever grace the silver screen.

Grosse Point Blank is the best movie ever.

Glad im not the only one who things Blazing Saddles is a waste of film. Caddyshack is on the list yes. Kill Bill, not so much. tho it is amusing. Pulp Fiction is a better Tanrantino flick. Resevior Dogs is too. Its all subject tho. My 3 favorite movies all happen to be baseball films. And if youre a dude, and Field of Dreams hasnt made you cry, youre a liar!

I watch a ton of baseball every year, in fact I am on my 3rd game of the day now and Field of Dreams has never made me cry. Though maybe it's because I am usually whispering to whoever I am watching with to "Go the Distance" or laughing at James Earl Jones being a reformed hippy.

It's ok, I know not everyone appreciates the same things. I just know it makes me laugh as much as any other movie, and that's what matters to me in a good comedy. Baseball movies are right up there with comedies, too. Bull Durham is still one of my all time favorites, and I do cry when I watch Field of Dreams, because it always makes me think of my dad. Go figure.

I like Tin Cup more than Bull Durham, perhaps because I'm destined to live by myself in a trailer and have no career.

For combined sweetness , violence and insanity (always a popular combination)
may I submit that Brazil was one of the greatest.
(Mind you I have only watched it 25 times or so, so I may be missing something.)
And, as a traditionalist, Braveheart holds up well with re-viewing.

Add to Brasil's credits the stealth cameo of Robert de Niro as the Ninja AC Repairman
and you definitely have a contender.

I concur, Mozz, Brazil was a great movie.

Those are some of the few on my list anyways. Though they could have been even better if Wilford Brimley had played Doc Holiday, Bill, and Iron Man. We can only imagine.

I agree that Bull Durham was a much better baseball movie than Field of Dreams.

But for my two favorite movies of all time, I submit these quotes:

"The greatest trick the devil ever played, was convincing the world he didn't exist"

""And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

Excellent film. Truly exceptional.

I am not allowed to quote Dazed and Confused anymore around some people because I won't stop until I've quoted most of the movie.

You can't declare heresy since you like bad movies.
