Those last 5 were like playing Bad film, good film. Who the hell was voting for Silence Of The Lambs?
 
Maybe...

That doesn't mean I'm not aloud to make fun of my own demographic.

Bold are ones i voted for, italics ones i've not seen and underlines ones that are also in my top 100. Surprised Leon didn't crack the list, thought there was lot of love for that flick.
 
"When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"

80) The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006)

"If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff."

79) Ratatouille (Brad Bird, 2007)

"We're on a mission from God."

78) The Blues Brothers (John Landis, 1980)

"I like you, Holden. I haven't liked a man in a long time. And it's not because I'm a man hater or something like that. It's just been sometime that I've been exposed to a man that didn't immediately live into a stereotype of some sort. And I want you to feel comfortable with me, because I'd really like us to be friends."

77) Chasing Amy (Kevin Smith, 1997)

"I have issues with anyone who treats faith as a burden instead of a blessing. You people don't celebrate your faith; you mourn it."

76) Dogma (Kevin Smith, 1999)

Kevin Smith is making this list his bitch.
 
28 lists.

I'll post 99-91 sometime today.

EDIT- And FYI, every movie that made the list had a minimum of 3 votes for it.

The way it works is you submit a list of 10-20 and whatever is ranked 1 on your list gets 20 points. 2 gets 19. 3 gets 18 and so on and so on.

Accumulate all the points and you get this list.
 
I actually feel like Hopkins gave a top 3 all time performance. I love him in the first of that series.

After that...not so much.
 
There was no condescension in that comment. I don't need to be condescending, I know I'm better than everyone.
 
No. Bobby just had us all (or whoever wanted to) PM our top 20 lists to him and then he created some kind of point system, put them in order and post the list. Well, actually he had us PM the lists, then he took a few months off, then he posted them. It took a little while but he got it done.

Maybe, seeing as we have a lot of new members (and returning old members - at least one), we can do this again sometime in the new year.
 
I can post who all made lists AFTER we're done. I don't want everyone to get an idea of what the final 5 or so are before we're done. So, please stop for now.
 
I don't think he really dislikes it. I believe he said it leaves him cold. Maybe that means he doesn't like it after all... I'm sure he'll expound on this at some point if we poke and prod him a bit.

Actually, I know he's gone into it quite a bit around here somewhere before. I'm to lazy to try and search for it though.
 
I'd give those last five an average of [rating]4[/rating] with none less than [rating]3.5[/rating], although none of them were on the list I submitted.
 
Wait people are challenging the quality of Apocalypse Now ? I'm not sure I've heard of this phenomenon. I agree it's a mess , but that's the whole point - a hypnotizing descent into symbolic hell , I can easily see how it's unenjoyable but I can't see how it's not effective.
