Conversation regarding 'The Philadelphia Story' carried on from Billboard Bulletins:

Okay Joe, much more suitable forum for what can possibly be a lengthy discussion...

So, what would you list as your Greatest Films, American or otherwise...

I must admit that I certainly have different expectations of American films than I do of others, and will often dismiss a film not from America as being 'Too American'.

I must admit my list of Greatest films would probably include 'Seven Samurai' (or maybe even 'Yojimbo' or 'Rashomon')

So: question to people give us your top three (to make it easier) on the followinglists:

Greatest Films
Best Films
Most Favourite Films

(And yes, if you think about it, they should all be three different lists...)

I'm still thinking about how hard it is to define 'Greatest' or 'Best'.....but what's stumping me is how are you distinguishing the two?


(And is 'Most Favourite' a tautology?)
