    A simple question bound to yield profound results:
    What is the best film of all time?
    Of course, that's a highly subjective question, but I want your opinions.

    For me, this is a toss-up between UHF, Edward Scissorhands, and Red Green: Duct Tape Forever. :sweat2: Alright, so my tastes in movies are obscure as well.

    Okay, in all seriousness, I'm going to say my pick for this is A Beautiful Mind. Actually, I've been told by several people on several different occasions that John Nash reminds them of me. :sweat2:

    I love that someone said Twelve Angry Men. Good job, Dredz. :)

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: The best movie of all time is A Clockwork Orange.

    You clearly know very few people from the Great White North ... or Iowa. I hear Red Green's very popular there for some reason.
    I never stated my pick, but I have to say Citizen Kane. This film is one of the few true gems of the Studio Era, but I won't bore you all with a lecture on film history yet again. Orson Welles directed, co-wrote and starred in this movie, and did an excellent job on all aspects. There was more character development than I have seen in pretty well any other movie. I found I could really identify with the title character, one Charles Foster Kane, in many aspects.
