- @brhfl I like the original theatrical release version, where Deckard narrates over parts of it like in the old movies.

Not fair - need "best movie ever" delineated by genre or time period.

Citizen Kane, (by leaps and bounds) - if I have to pick just one.

I'd have to give it some though for the best movie ever, but the best Trilogy is, by far, the Back to the Future series. I can't wait until October of this year!

- @Pavlov well @jont made the claim that cool runnings was really the best movie, ever on periscope while eating lunch, so it merited some forums discussion at a minimum
