The best movie of all time

As a film connoisseur, I have spent my sixteen years looking for the best movie of all time. Using my unique rubric I’ve determined that When Harry Met Sally is in fact the best movie ever made. This Rob Reiner RomCom received exemplary scores on my rubric which consists of three essential categories: the effectiveness of its dialogue, the intrigue of its characters and the amount of Billy Crystal. Now my choice may come as a surprise to you as it overcame such favorites as The Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather but I promise it is well-deserving as we'll look at the rubric.


MovieThe GodfatherThe Shawshank RedemptionWhen Harry Met Sally
DialogueWritten by Mario Puzo. That’s all that’s needed to be said.Morgan Freeman narrates most of it, so there’s that.What was that? Sorry I was too busy re-watching the scene from Katz’s deli.
CharactersClemenza is the man.Morgan Freeman’s in it, ‘nough said.Billy Crystal/Bruno Kirby is the second best acting duo. See The Shawshank Redemption below.
Billy CrystalThe Godfather would’ve actually been watchable if Billy Crystal took his talents to the Little Italy and joined forces with the Corleone Family to win not 4 not 5 not 6 not 7 not 8 but 9 Oscars.Shame on you Stephen King for not demanding a Crystal/Freeman dream team, an Oscar would’ve been handed to you.Adequate amount of Billy Crystal. I would have appreciated more.

    I couldn't agree more my friend. I really like how you added a chart to that. You need to tell me how to do that! Also, I think the Billy Crystal category made te whole blog hysterical. I think you've developed a critic's voice here Matt. Good job BALF.
