What do you think are the best movies ever made?

[argentus]

No one gonna say Fight Club?
I think it's a classic and very well written, great book too of course. 

I agree with Ben Hur and Godfather for sure.  Also Mockingbird, and Full Metal Jacket, Bladerunner. Great picks  

I would add ...
2001 Space Odyssey
Once Upon a Time in the West

Howabout some modern picks? What do you think in inclusion in 'all time'
Paul Thomas Anderson's:
There Will be Blood
The Master?

I still need to check out Cleopatra.

Good call on the other ones. Interesting choice with Matrix as an epic.

Agree with your, and everyone else's picks.   Your picks reminded me of:

Gangs of New York AND
Lincoln.   Both Daniel-Day Lewis centric.   He is such an amazing actor.   

Of course, Gangs of New York reminds me of another favorite:

No Country for Old Men.
