Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas has been awarded the top movie ever crown by Total Film - relegating the critics' perennial fave Citizen Kane into sixth spot. Scorsese is also honoured for Taxi Driver at 14th, but Francis Ford Coppola emerges as director of choice with three titles in the top 25 (see below).
Naturally, the list will provoke plenty of debate among film buffs - especially since the Texas Chain Saw Massacre (recently voted best horror flick of all time) is apparently a greater cinematic acheivement that Sunrise or Apocalypse Now.
And as for Goodfellas; well, it's good, but is it that good? Here's the Total Film top 25 for your consideration:
- Goodfellas
- Vertigo
- Jaws
- Fight Club
- The Godfather: Part II
- Citizen Kane
- Tokyo Story
- The Empire Strikes Back
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- His Girl Friday
- Persona
- Chinatown
- Manhattan
- Taxi Driver
- It's a Wonderful Life
- The Apartment
- Once Upon A Time In The West
- All About Eve
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
- Apocalypse Now
