It would have to be more than just a couple of people, because between Dill-man and I alone Taxi Driver had 38 points (plus you mentioned every film had at least three votes for it). Clerks 2 would have needed at least 22 more points to go with Lennon's 18 to beat it, assuming that the other person who voted for Taxi Driver had placed it at the minimum 20th place.

I'm just saying.
 
Correction, I haven't seen #81 Show Me Love. I can't seem to find any Moodysson films.
 
"It's funny to think that just a year ago, I sat in that Knightsbridge Pub actually planning to murder her."

75) Dial M for Murder (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954)

"Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice"

74) Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)

"For as long as I can remember people have hated me. They looked at my face and my body and they ran away in horror. In my loneliness I decided that if I could not inspire love, which is my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear. I live because this poor half-crazed genius, has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself."

73) Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, 1974)

"This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people. This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this. I could have gotten one more person...and I didn't! And I...I didn't!"

72) Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg, 1993)

"Go get 'em, champ. I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss...I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss."

71) Raging Bull (Martin Scorsese, 1980)

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."

70) The Good, the Bad, And the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966)

"Mama always said 'Life is like a box of chocolates'...you never know what you're gonna get."

69) Forrest Gump (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)

"And when everyone is super...no one will be."

68) The Incredibles (Brad Bird, 2004)

"Yes! Your love was a lie! And now she burns in hell!"

67) Evil Dead II (Sam Raimi, 1987)

"England is under threat of invasion, and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship *is* England."

66) Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (Peter Weir, 2003)

I've never even heard of Evil Dead II and the thing got, like, 7 votes.
 
There is no denying that but I always love to see that despite this most people truely still do have good hearts. It is a thin line though and I agree that the book is definetly relevent, probably more than 1984.
 
Can't wait for the Top 5. This is not a bash, but a few months ago I watched Eternal Sunshine and I did not see the appeal; I came close to shutting it off about 45 minutes in. :/ Guess it's just one of those highly-regarded films I couldn't get into.
 
I do agree with the first part a bit, although I admit it was slightly better than I expected it to be. Plus, I fail to see how a movie where one army moons the other can be seen as "taking itself too seriously".
 
"I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do."

20) 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)

"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."

19) The Shawshank Redemption (Frank Darbont, 1994)

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

18) Clerks. (Kevin Smith, 1994)

"That rug really tied the room together."

17) The Big Lebowski (Joel and Ethan Coen, 1998)

"Help Obi-Wan Kenobi...you're my only hope."

16) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (George Lucas, 1977)

And as a bonus...

I love how this thread has turned into a completely unrelated discussion.

I'm not too sure on your statement on whether people for the most part still have good hearts, or if we have ever. It's all subjective to what you believe to be good. But I can't get into that right now, it's still being sorted out.
 
I was hoping City of God would crack top 20.

And you should have used this scene from The Matrix instead.

I didn't vote for it Meat. And as for Boondock Saints, I've noticed that the people aged 16-25, especially the teens on this site, have a much more sophisticated taste in films than their contemporaries.
 
"There is an explanation for this, you know."

40) Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979)

"Go away...go away...go away, I don't want you to see me die"

39) Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968)

"Where are we going?"
"Swimming"

38) Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)

"My heart is, and always will be, yours."

37) Sense and Sensibility (Ang Lee, 1995)

"Can't rain all the time..."

36) The Crow (Alex Proyas, 1994)

"Hi. I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman."

35) Sin City (Robert Rodriguez, 2005)

"Has anything you've done made your life better?"

34) American History X (Tony Kaye, 1998)

"That'll be the day."

33) The Searchers (John Ford, 1956)

"There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible."

32) To Kill a Mockingbird (Robert Mulligan, 1962)

"Why. So. Serious!?"

31) The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, 2008)
 
Honestly Iro, without delay, see these are the earliest possible opportunity. I know that most people disagree with much I say, but I think that even those idiots (j/k) would agree with me this time.
 
I'm upset too, Yoda. 7/10 for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy? That's, at least, twice as much as it should be.
 
Lennon put Clerks II at 3, 18 points.

It was 15 (6 points) on another list, 13 (8 points) on another and 10 (11 points) on yet another.

18 + 6 + 8 + 11 = 43

And you two weren't the only ones to vote for Taxi Driver either. It got a 19 on someone else's list.

20 + 18 + 2 = 40
