What movies would you label with the title "masterpiece"?
 

For me, "Nightmare Before Christmas," "Princess Mononoke" and "The Princess Bride" are the only three I can think of at the moment.

What about Lord of the Rings? I would say that's a masterpiece. 

[No-Danico]

Gangs of New York. It was masterfully done, and Daniel Day Lewis was amazing as Bill the Butcher. Did you know his accent isn't even used nowadays? Lewis listened to old recordings to get it right.

I personally think The Girl Who Leapt through time was amazing. I'd call it a masterpiece.

After I wrote that sentence, I spent ten minutes thinking of more, but I couldn't come up with anything

12 Angry Men, Platoon, Pulp Fiction and Terminator II

[Mister Sympa]

OH MY GOD, Some Like it Hot. HOW DID I FORGET THAT?

 

And yeah, I'll totally give LOTR.

[idk]

The Boondock Saints

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.

The Phantom of the Opera

Pulp Fiction

LOTR

pretty much every Studio Ghibli film. 

[Affray]

I disagree with the second Boondock Saints movie.

It tried too hard to tap in to the same essence as the first and fell very, very short.

[MrSandman]

The Big Lebowski I forgot that one!

[Mister Sympa]

Did I not mention V for Vendetta? Everyone else seems to hate it or write it off as "mediocre.' I fucking love that movie.

[The Robstar]

Nothing comes close the the awesomeness that is.... "BIRDEMIC'

 

Best movie I've ever seen LOLOLOL

[Supernova]

Harry Potter - the Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2, V for Vendetta (awesome!), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (what to say about that?!), Avengers (man, come on), The Dark Knight Rises, The Goonies, Edward Scissor Hands, all the Pirates of Caribbean.... Just to name a few.

Anything by Hayao Miyazaki is a masterpiece for me. I love that man and his amazing imagination. 

 

Other movies that I consider masterpieces:

(in no particular order)

 

• The Land Before Time
• The Lion King
• Tarzan
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame 
• Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Chidlren Ame and Yuki)

And I'm sure I'm forgetting some. W/e

Visually, the Harry Potter movies are awesome, and it's really cool to watch them in order and see how CGI has progressed. I'm also a big fan of the Iron Man movies.

Then there are the movies that have aged gracefully and people still watch like The Lion King, and The Jungle Book.

it's ok but like watchmen, which was also alright I fell like it misses the point of the original comics

[smithrobert663]

'Taxi driver' is a masterpiece but I also loved 'evil dead 2 - dead by dawn' which is a masterpiece of gore and humor. I also think 'zatoichi' is a masterpiece.
