    When I was just a little boy
    I asked my father what would he be
    Is he like Wrighty, or Titi henry?
    Here’s what he said to me
    oh Vela Vela, our Mexican superstar
    He’s better than Lou Saha
    oh Vela Vela…

      Because it was literally the only movie in theaters and had like, 8 runs in theaters. I'd bet that about 50% of those ticket buyers are dead.

      The name might ring bells, but in the under 35 crowd, I doubt more than 25% could give an accurate depiction of the story. GwtW is culturally irrelevant in 2008.

          Eh, They had more then one movie in the theatres back in the day Movies were also for the most part cranked out a lot faster in those days then they are today and surprisingly those movies of yesteryear are better crafted.

          Movies back then (other then the huge epics) were filmed in like a month or less!

            Which is why 8 Mile is the logical choice.

              So, "....Of All Time" is irrelevant here? There are actually two votes for 8 Mile? I would've lost money on that bet.

              No. Really? 8 Mile?

                You have to be about 8 miles high on something to think that movie is even close to being the most well known movie of all time.

                  Anybody who takes hndavis seriously at this point has the IQ of a grapefruit.

                  I mean seriously, what is wrong with you people? How many times do you have to take the bait?

                    I'd say Wizard of Oz. I think everyone watches that when they're kids.

                      Well, I haven't paid any attention to this guys posting history so I didn't know he had a tendency of baiting people.

                          I can't believe the Wayans brothers epics havent been mentioned - I mean White Girls and Little Man transformed a generation.





                          Seriously - I would say Star Wars from a marketing perspective.

                            Forrest Gump popped into my head.
                            NHL - Philadelphia Flyers

                                Define most well known, if we go combine the older generation who would have not seen Star Wars or cared, I think it would be Gone With The Wind. In another generation or two it will be Star Wars.
