Personally, it's hard for me to separate my favorite movies from what I'd consider to be a great movie. (well, some of the time. Doug and Bob McKenzie's Strange Brew is still a favorite, although obviously not a great movie.)

Besides, what makes a movie the "greatest movie"??
The plots are *usually* pretty thin... The first couple of star wars were great for the advances in special effects. But, there wasn't that intricate of a plot, nor were the actors particularly good.

I just glanced at a list of the films that received Oscars for best film... but I disagree (strongly) with a few of them, particularly "Titanic" - the special effects were great, but the story was pretty lame (girl is suicidal, boy saves girl, girl (at a very vulnerable time emotionally) falls in love with boy... even for love stories, it was pretty lame. BTW, if that (4 letter word for engaged female who has sex with a guy she just met) had just stayed on the lifeboat, Jack could have been the one saved by floating on the hunk of wood (whatever it was).

Miniseries-I really hate to say it, but From the Earth to the Moon was better than Band of Brothers. It was like watching Apollo 13 a dozen times...SO GOOD...so very, very good. I like Band of Brothers a lot too. Just like the book.

Movie-Shindler's List. Only movie that's made me cry in a long time.
