I can't believe you made a poll like this without including Space Chimps and Legally Blonde 2. Fucking bullshit. Anyways, of the choices that I had to work w/ I went Shawshank. Godfather I and / or Goodfellas are a close second for me.
All Time Best Movie Poll?

Heat's a good film. Lags in parts, but this scene is powerful (skip if you haven't watched the film)...

The snaps of the rounds are like a symphony.
I wonder why there's so much Shawshank love here. It was a well made movie, although very slow-paced. Ditto The Green Mile, another prison story from Stephen King.
My vote went to Godfather, although I agree with Gunman the third movie brought down the quality of the series. Sofia Coppola wasn't a good actress, but she didn't bring down the movie by herself; the whole thing was a cynical attempt to milk the series for more cash. The storytelling was lackluster, and the fun and interesting original characters were mostly dead or missing from GF III. Blah! The real Godfather story, as told by Mario Puzo, ended with GF II. I LOVE the book; I am one with Fredo the Weak One.
I'm surprised you ghey boys haven't noticed Midnight Cowboy is missing from the list. It's in my top 10.

No surprise, Shawshank is rated in most people's top 10 list and it actually beat out Godfather I and II as the greatest movie ever according to IMDB users. It at least deserves to be in the discussion. I can't even find Godfather III in the top 250.
