Yes. Favorite is way easier than best, I'd say.Wait, just to be clear, these are "favorite" rather than "best" movies. :lawyer:This weekend, I hope. Don't want to look at your lists before mine, and then I'm sure I'll have plenty ofGet to work, woman.
Whew, good. Yeah, you can't even argue "favorite". You can accuse someone of crappy taste, but you can't argue it.Yes.

I thank my Italo-Brazilian friend for introducing me to both of the above. Alas, Zombie misses the cut. New York Ripper misses the cut by a wider margin.
I sure do enjoy your posts, Wikkid.
Yeah, for the purposes of this conversation, "best" means favorite. You can appreciate an individual film's craft and excellence without actually liking it.
What about DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING?
I liked Cop Land a lot. I've only seen it once, so I'd need to see it again to consider adding it to the list. The Untouchables is excellent. Batman Begins was good, but I think The Dark Knight was a lot better. Charlie Wilson's War was entertaining, but that's not even in my top 300. Mystic River was a mess.
LOVE that movie.

Do you just keep a rolling list that ranks every movie youve ever seen?
Yeah, and I have a top secret Movie Dominator app that allows me to crush other movie fans.jdoggydogg said:
Very underrated movie, imho.
David Fincher is awesome.
I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario where this movie will ever somehow not be funny to me. John Hughes was brilliant.
Amen, brother. I still laugh hysterically when Steve Martin steps up to the rental counter and he is just seething because he's so pissed his rental car is not in the designated spot. His rant is priceless!
The funny thing is that movie almost rated G before that rant. My favorite moment was when they are driving the wrong way.
Butter
I know the reference, and that ain't helping.
Good calls! Also like Dr. Zhivago - gotta add that to mine.
You haven't missed a whole lot.
Wow. I don't agree.
Will you marry me?
I think I had 4 Milos Forman films on my list: this one, Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, and Ragtime. Very underrated director. He also directed the film version of Hair, which I really enjoyed but not enough to make the top 100.
I really enjoyed that movie, but top 100 of all time??? Really????
Two fantastic and underrated movies. Great list overall, but these jumped out.
In fairness, not all of us are as sophisticated and sensible as you k.I'm still avoiding the lists themselves (until I post mine), but from the commentary I get the idea that most people have seen no more than 200 movies in their lives, and all of those have been from 1990 onward?
How many of your films on your list feature a donkey as the main character?I'm still avoiding the lists themselves (until I post mine), but from the commentary I get the idea that most people have seen no more than 200 movies in their lives, and all of those have been from 1990 onward?
jdogg already offered you one marriage proposal...
Did you really like The Meaning of Life that much? I thought it was inferior to Holy Grail & Life of Brian.
Very surprised to see this on anyone's list. Not disappointed, just surprised. Good film, always thought it was underappreciated.

You'll probably appreciate this k. One of my "young" co-workers (aka < 30 yrs old) was talking about movies the other day and mentioned that he was a huge Pacino fan. I asked him "have you ever seen Dog Day Afternoon?" His response: "I've heard of it, but pretty sure I wasn't born when it came out."As if that is some type of good excuse. My response back to him: "Ok, have you ever seen Wizard of Oz? Or The Godfather? Newsflash buddy: both of those came out before I was born. What's your point?"IIn fairness, not all of us are as sophisticated and sensible as you k.I'm still avoiding the lists themselves (until I post mine), but from the commentary I get the idea that most people have seen no more than 200 movies in their lives, and all of those have been from 1990 onward?

Flynt is also one of my favorite Ed Norton performances.
I've seen my share of classic movies although I didn't put a ton on my list. I enjoy them a lot, but not enough to put 50 of them on my list.I'm still avoiding the lists themselves (until I post mine), but from the commentary I get the idea that most people have seen no more than 200 movies in their lives, and all of those have been from 1990 onward?
Actually, True Romance gets a lot of love on this board - deservedly so.
Meaning of Life is good. Grail and Brian are great.Grand Canyon was good, but I'm surprised to see it on someone's all time favorite list.
It goes to how many movies you've seen. If you watch a lot of movies, you simply run out of good, modern movies and are driven to explore older movies.You'll probably appreciate this k.
