My choice for best movie of all time is:
Ben-Hur, 1959
Second Place:
Lord of the Rings Trilogy, 2001-2003
Both these movie are epic adventures that follow characters through rigorous physical and emotional trials that test them to the limit. Will they break, will they quit?
Also, both these movies use film and technology, some of the best of their day, to produce a wonderful final product. The production of the sets and selection of locations are great. The attention to detail on costumes and prop items are amazing. The music is moving and high quality. The acting is memorable in major and minor characters. Much more could be said, but overall, these movies are just awesome.
If you have seen these movies what do you think?
