What was the last truly great movie that you watched?

[ThePresence]

I dont mean movies that you thought are good. I mean the great ones. The last movie I saw that I can call great is the Shawshank Redemption. I would say Saving Private Ryan but I thought it very longwinded and boring in some spots. Just curious.

Theatre--LOTR
home--Donnie Darko

Enemy Mine, amazingly good film

I saw Platoon on DVD last nite...its been a while since I saw it but i'd rank it up there as one of the "great" movies ive ever watched.
Before that, I saw FAILAN... a korean movie which stars the hk actress Cecilia Cheung....man...if there ever was a mans movie...this is it. SAD stuff but it aint for the melodramatic chicks!

from IMDB

p.s. Film Fact. At the films first public showing of the film at the Sundance Film Festival, one of the reels was thread backwards and upside down. The caused a 1 hour delay in the middle of the film. During this time the director answered questions and Stuart Stone rapped and danced to an audience provided beat box.

I gotta see this flick now.

LOTR

Finding Forrester. Saw it last night. It has to rank among my personal top 10.

Lotr in theatres, it was never ever boring, and so awesome, can't wait for the second one.

Home: A.I. Saw it in theatres too, bought it as soon as it was out, one of the best movies ever, i don't see how come it didn't ever win any awards or anything. soooo saddd

I'm sorry but I loved Office Space, I laughed so hard I almost cried and each time I watch it again I see something I missed. Comedy works for me

The Royal Tenembaums was smart and amazing!

 

[JSang]

The Man Who Wasn't There
another great coen brothers movie

 

[AaronP]

truly great eh? hmm that eliminates a lot of good movies such as LOTR, Black Hawk Down, etc... I think the last truly great movie I saw was: LA Confidential

The Matrix is close, however it falls into the "good" category.

 

[Wolfsraider]

the best movie i saw recently was a knight's tale
and also the green mile was excellent
good films listed below
robert redford the last castle was almost as good as shawshank
spy game was good
blade 2 was ok
bicentennial man
only because i want one
black night was cool
the fast and the furious was good

 

[pyonir]

Training Day.

 

[Waveslidin]

Casablanca. Believe it or not, I never really have seen too many of the old classics. So i started checking a few of them out every once and then. Casablanca was smooth! The lines were classic, just goes to show how much of that acting has disappeared nowadays. I think special effects have taken their toll on actual scripting. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

robert redford the last castle was almost as good as shawshank

while I enjoyed The Last Castle, I find that statement laughable.

 

[Texmaster]

The Rookie.

 

[Swag1138]

I havent seen a truly great movie in a loooooooong time. The closest to a truly great movie Ive seen recently is Sexy Beast. Ben Kingsley is AMAZING!
