Re: The best film ever made ?
It's a remarkably well done and compelling movie, but not an easy watch for everyone.Lawrence of Arabia (which I would have to put above Shawshank because of its outstanding cinematography and score), Giant, Casablanca, To Catch a Thief, Sound of Music, Shipping News, White Christmas, Out of Africa, Local Hero...
I couldn't possibly choose!

The Godfather, North by northwest, one flew over the cuckoo's nest, gone with the wind, there are too many to choose. As good as it gets. Any of the old Hitchcock's. Sound of music, grease, west side story in.musicals. the lord of the rings trilogy, star wars. So many fabulous films. But some of the best are the old black and white movies.

Re: The best film ever made ?
The thing is, to decide on what is the best movie ever made it would have to be determined by a fixed set of criteria don't you think?(in no particular order)
Music Score
Cinematography
fact or fiction
real life or make-believe
strength of story-line
depth of story-line
usage of colour
usage of sound
usage of props (necessary or just there to help sell the movie)
level of depth actors/actresses put into their part
Now if all the above was used as a standard for what makes the best movie, 3 movies immediately stand out in my mind which covers all of the above, which are Lawrence of Arabia, Dances with Wolves and 2001 a Space Odyssey. Now of some in the above list was removed, naturally is would change alter the selection of movies.
Hence you can see the problem of 'What is the best movie ever made'
