The Greatest film ever made?

[Wacky Racer]

It is often been said that Orson Welles's masterpiece "Citizen Kane" is the greatest film ever to hit the silver screen.......possibly.....



I would like to add a few more into the melting pot:-

High Noon

Brief Encounter

The Shawshank Redemption

The Pianist

Doctor Zhivago



Any more?

[kit80]

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.

[dpbird90]

The Godfather, and of course Godfather Part 2

[obscene]

Die hard

[Elskeggso]

IMO The Deer Hunter would be in with a shout

[Justayellowbadge]

Shawshank is a nice little film but the vogue for including it as one of the greatest ever is the toil of idiots.

Maybe, but being a relative box office flop and the subsequent rise to popularity on VHS/DVD means at least it gets mentioned due to its merit rather than marketing budget.

And its better than the short story its based upon, in my opinion.
