Greatest movie of all time is a hard choice to make. I mean, you have Pulp Fiction, The Exorcist, One Flew Ove The Cukoo's Nest, Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Citizen Kane, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Halloween and so many others. If I had to say, I'm just going to put down Woodstock because it's probably one of the greatest moments of human compassion caught on film.
Although most of my favourite films are along the lines of 300, Gladiator, Beowulf, Lord of the Rings etc, my favourite film of all time is The Truman Show. It's such a good bloody film. It's a classic because it's clever, the casting is good, the soundtrack fits really well. And some other things. It rocks.
Probably Children of Men (a vision of a dystopia is Sci-Fi right?). Strange, the one movie I think is better than it's source material.
what would you count the LotR trology under? i'm in the process of watching the extras on the 4 disc verson of Return of the king, and it's only just dawning on me just how much work went into the building of everything
Hotel Rwanda is definitely up there, as is In Bruges. Really moving films.
As for an all-time favourite, though, I'd have to say Star Wars: A New Hope, because I saw it for the first time when I was 6, have probably seen it 20+ times since then, and I still love it.

True Romance, it was Tarintino's first movie script, though its directed by someone else. Brilliant movie though, it has a wired up guy, who runs off with a call-girl and kills a pimp because Elvis tells him to. lovely soundtrack as well.
I've never been able to pick a top one overall just a top one for each category really. I went with Seven Samurai since its a 3 hour epic I never got bored of, plus its over a decade old so I feel its held up well. Other favorites are Goodfellas and The Fugitive.
yes a dystopia would be sci fi i guess because if i remember it was in the future and they had to get that girl somewhere right?
