A man seeks answers about life, death, and the existence of God as he plays chess against the Grim Reaper during the Black Plague.

The trailer

A Knight and his squire are home from the crusades. Black Death is sweeping their country. As they approach home, Death appears to the knight and tells him it is his time. The knight challenges Death to a chess game for his life. The Knight and Death play as the cultural turmoil envelopes the people around them as they try, in different ways, to deal with the upheaval the plague has caused.

Yeah its an oldie but I'm curious to know, What do you consider the greatest movie ever made?

For me... drum roll ................ The Shawshank redemption *****

Classic.

i'm with you on that one, shawshank (and green mile) are my two faves

Going to have to agree with you, OP. The Shawshank Redemption has always been my favourite movie of all time, as well.

Nah I didn't really like that one, his lisp makes me want to cut his tongue out...

R u serious,

Ok so whats your fav?, spill your guts...

I listed them before..... Die Hard would be number one....

but for favorite Aussie movie would be CHOPPER, my dad ran H-Division as a Senior PO... So it's kinda fun to watch...

Of mine it would be "Forbidden Planet"

Yes, it is an old one, back when Leslie Nielsen was playing dramatic rolls, But Awesome...

And it gave us Robbie the Robot!!!

How the hell can you pick the greatest movie ever made? That's like trying to pick one food that you would eat for the rest of your life....I'm going with in the comedy genre Animal House...all you young guys out there over 17 should certainly watch this movie...

Easy.

Troll 2.



I'm kidding!!!

Troll 2 is so bad it actually spawned a documentary praising its awefulness.

The Best Worst Movie

Seriously though; if I had to choose a favorite movie.....?
That's like choosing which testicle I'd like to keep.
I'm gonna have to narrow it down to 3.

-Shawshank Redemption
-Alien
-Raiders of the Lost Ark

(note* this list will change if you ask me 10 minutes from now)

seems like a fantastic movie for a Saturday....has to be cloudy and cold out though

Its either KFC or chinese,
Theirs more choice with chinese,
All you have with KFC is chicken.

My choice of favourite film wouldn't be a gritty, grand or complicated saga but a comedy. Yeah I know comedies never win Academy Awards, but heck, I love to laugh. I couldn't choose between these two...

For pure comic genius I love watching Cary Grant lose it in 'Arsenic and Old Lace' as he realises his innocent old aunts have a basement full of bodies. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favour.

Second is 'Bowfinger'. The premise of making a film with a famous actor in it, who doesn't actually know he's in it is inspired. Watching Eddie Murphy's character slowly losing his mind as the other actors weave a story around him that he thinks is really happening is sublimely ridiculous! Gotcha suckas!

My best movie of all time is Dead Alive, directed by Peter Jackson. I
