Global.Baba Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Shawshank redemption has to be the greatest movie ever made. I don’t think any classic movie has more repeat value than Shawshank. Vancouver and adi B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haunted me forever. Equally haunting Stradlater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FischerTal Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) there are very few actors who can dominate Al Pacino in a scene, but this is exactly what happened here. John Cazale's portrayal of Fredo Corleone is one of the most underrated performances. He lets loose all the pent-up emotions he has bottled up inside ever since Michael was chosen to lead the family. You see all the pent-up anger burst out, yet at the same time he stays true to his character as the timid, weak older brother who never had the chops to be The Godfather. What an actor.

Vilander Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Saving Private Ryan. The last dialogue where Ryan who was saved by all those bastards who died ingloriously asks his wife to tell him ( he was a good man) he lived a full good life as he was told to 'earn this' by Tom hanks ( Miller) and the scene prior to that where the mortally wounded Miller (Tom Hanks) shoots at advancing tank with his last rounds in pistol still trying to live so that he can go home after saving private ryan and he hated/scared to be in war, fark what a movie man. Nothing comes close, reluctant heroes zenith. Edited February 14, 2020 by Vilander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vayuu1 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Scarface has to be one of the greatest remake ever, al Pacino as Tony Montana just killed, Ben hur comes to my mind as one of the greatest period film, I said citizen Kane off course, god father has to be there,someone said saving private Ryan and shawshank redemption,as Far as thriller is concerned psycho has to be there, in animal horror it has to be jaws,blood diamond is pretty underrated, so many classics in romance it's got to be gone with the wind, in sports genre it's raging bull and rocky ,in technology it's terminator, avatar.

Al Pacino as Tony Montana is entertaining but overacting to almost Bollywood levels. He's been doing the same screaming and shouting ever since.

I found Scarface quite overrated with Pacino's bollywoodesque acting and the general overall tone of the film. Heat and Donnie Brasco are far better.

The greatest film of all time is determined by factors such as direction, editing, background score, acting, screenplay, its impact on other films/filmmakers, etc. As I said, this is not the most favorite film thread but greatest. Say there is a thread on the greatest actor, are we going to list SRK because we watched his movies like Badshah, Bazigaar, etc. more! Not just T2 but some of the other movies listed here as greatest makes me laugh! Edited February 15, 2020 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
