The best movie of all time You have to have seen this when it first came out to understand why I say it is the best movie of all time. This was the first blockbuster to use computerized special effects. When I went to this movie shortly after it was released, the entire audience clapped for 5 minutes after it was over. When is the last time you were in a movie and everyone gave it a standing ovation at the end. I rest my case.
