What are the best all time movies?

Well, month later and I did it. I would like to thank you for tip, tho I must say I didn’t like it as much as Fuzz or Shaun. I think the idea of “Joe going oh his way on normal day and something wacky and supernatural happens” got a bit overused. I think my fav from his trilogy is Hot Fuzz, which is genuienly amazing.

I’m in the minority that thinks The World’s End is the best and Hot Fuzz is the worst of the trilogy.

We are an endangered breed.

I don’t know about the best, but Alien is as timeless as it gets.

Guess what, the best movie of all time gets a 4K Restauration for its 67th Anniversary.
I really hope the cinema in my hometown will show it, but I’m sure they’ll release it on blu-ray too at one point.

I’m thrilled.

Probably could make a list of my favorite Movies, so there would be some on it, I haven’t
watched in quite a while like the Mallcop, for which I want to wait until I forgot enough about
the truly awful sequel.

So, I’m just gonna write down my favorite Movie, which is Hot Fuzz to be honest. (I also just saw that it was already named in here when writing this, nice lol.)

I may or may not have found your list to be a useful starting point. :grin:

Though I confess there are a few on there that I haven’t seen. :eyes:
