"It’s a big question: what are the best movies of all time? And it’s one with many answers – there are all kinds of reasons why the greatest films ever made endure in the way they do. They create unforgettable images, conjure overwhelming emotions, craft thrilling stories, and deliver characters who leap off the screen. There’s astonishing technical mastery that brings those stories to life, plots that twist and turn in all kinds of unexpected ways, performances that help us fall head-over-heels for people who don’t exist, and transcendent experiences that change our heads and hearts. The best films – from classic movies that have stood the test of time, to contemporary works that changed the game – offer heartwarming comfort, iconic scares, big laughs, and pulse-pounding suspense, becoming firm audience favourites and garnering critical acclaim.
In creating a list of the 100 best movies of all time, Empire asked readers to share their picks – a selection of movies that comfort, challenge, and pioneer. Films that blow your mind, help you see things from a new perspective, and that continue to shape cinema as we know it today. Films that make you feel something. Combining reader votes with critics’ choices from Team Empire, here we have it – read it in full below." --Empire Online
