Your View: What is the best movie ever made?

I have decided to try out a new type of list on the site – one where you (the readers) pick the content. This isn’t a top ten however. The aim here is for you to discuss the question at hand and share your views with the rest of the site. If the idea takes off, I will consider making these a regular part of the site.

The format will be: I ask the question, I give my answer and reason, and then I open the floor to everyone here to give their answers and reasons. So – onward, to our first installment of Your View.

What is the best movie ever made, and why?

I think the best movie ever made is The Godfather.

I think it is the best movie because every time I watch it (and I have watched it many times) it really manages to draw me in – I become totally absorbed and feel like I am part of a real scene playing out around me. Also, the film has amazing cinematography and direction, and the acting is top-notch!

NOTE: Because this is our first try at “Your View” – let me know whether you think this is a good idea or whether we should forget about it. This will not replace any lists and we will continue to write lists as usual.
