Absolute G.O.A.T. Movie?

Oi, I picked only one! Was easy, really. Just what would I never get bored of watching.
 
Absolute greatest? That's a tough one. I'd have to turn to the big epics of the '50s and '60s and '70s. The Ten Commandments comes to mind. Although I saw it again after many years, and I realize it's really over the top. In the same vein, Spartacus, Ben Hur, and Planet of the Apes (the original).

I'm sorry but all the latest big blockbusters just don't stack up for me against the classics with big scenery, often armies of extras, and special effects done with God knows what.
 
Tough call. I love Blade Runner, it's right up there and Life of Brian what a classic laugh. Whilst not the happiest of films I also love watching House of Sand and Fog probably because Ben Kingsley is just an awesome actor. I also love Daniel Day Lewis is There will be Blood but its probably not my all time favourite movie. If I had to pick just one movie that was my all time favourite and a great movie at that it would be BEN HUR. A true epic film. The chariot race alone elevates it up there. I can watch it over and over and with the exception of Haya Harriet it's a great cast of actors.
 
As I type this (not as Telford wrote his) it could be 'Any given Sunday' ;)
 
Not the greatest but one movie I could watch over and over for the rest of my life is The Avengers.
 
There are quite a few on my list, including many of those already mentioned, but my absolute favorite would be The Princess Bride.
