What do you think is the greatest movie ever made and why?

i think the greatest movie ever made is titanic because the making film only is take millions dollar. the artist only is paying in 20 million dollar. not yet other procces like performance setting, film effect, etc. then good respect from market given to this film, even it is the most solled movie ever made in around the world. even in now there is not yet bit this film in the selling basic.

forest gump is really too good. its also my hot favorite.

Indeed Forrest Gump is a great movie, and Tom Hanks did the role justice. I think that movie won an Oscar, did it not? But nothing beats Halloween!!! Perhaps it's not the best movie to ever be made, in that it was shot on a low budget, the acting, (once you've watched it, like a kazillion times) is a bit off in some places (namely when Jamie-Lee Curtis bumps into the police officer after cautiously looking behind her to see if she was being followed, you see her smile when she should be frigtened), but you must admit that it is a chilling movie. I cannot begin to list all the parts that make me jump, even though I know they're coming. Like the time she's scrambling for the keys to get in the house and Michael Myers is chasing her. And the time when she locks herself in the wardrobe and he starts trying to get to her. Too many to mention, as I said. But that is a classic. Just wish they'd stopped at number 2, because now the whole Halloween sensation has gone down the toilet! Damn you Hollywood!
