Subjective argument, but Cool Hand Luke for me:popcorn2

Great movie. Newman is one of the finest treasures in cinema history. However, I think this is the best Newman film though.

There is no way you claim one movie best ever made. Just to many candidates. Maybe by category. Even then to hard to pick one. Good luck with that.

Godfather I&II are considered one film. Just divided into two parts.

It is by far the best. IMO.

Other greats are......

All the Presidents men
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Shawshank Redemption
Road to Perdition
And of course films like.....goodfellas, casino etc....

By far the best? There are too many great films out there for any one film to be by far the best. These films suffer from the common fate of every Coppola film, namely an inability by the filmmaker to rein his productions into tightly woven tales that grip the viewer every second. The films are still a masterpiece and in my top ten though.

I don't know if All the President's Men even makes the top 100 for me.

Shawshank and Raiders are definitely in the conversation. Raiders may be the most perfect action film.

I only watched Road to Perdition once and was not impressed. I remember being disappointed after all the hype I heard about it. I am downloading it now and will give it another look though. Maybe I just caught it on a bad day.

Apocalypse.Now.

Blade runner

Both from novels way ahead of their time and translated very well to cinema, specially Apocalypse.Now. It is based on Joseph Conrads "Heart of darkness" (1899).

as a traditional story telling movie without action&shit: Chinatown
