Doing this has made me realise just how haphazard and unreliable my grading system is.
 
Yeah i think that late night movie watching brings out all kinds of weird emotions =\ most of the times i've ever cried during a movie have been when it's really really early in the morning haha
 
Mortimer: "Aunt Abby, how can I believe you? There are twelve men down in the cellar and you admit you poisoned them."

Aunt Abby: "Yes, I did. But you don't think I'd stoop to telling a fib."
 
I love Eternal Sunshine but it's a very personal film and it's easy to see how it won't resonate with some.
 
I submitted a list of my top 20, as requested. So far, only one film is up that I submitted, and one more film is up from from my personal Top 100. I think the list has several fine films as well as things I'd consider overrated, but I'd like to hold off further comment until I see the rest.
 
I like Fight Club and I quite like Raiders but none of the 10-5 excite me. I really hate to use the overused word 'overrated', but Amelie? Eternal Sunshine? These are top ten movies??
 
Ah, enjoy. No, it's fine for it (and any other film) to be in anyones top 20 films if it's just because they enjoy them. I think that my own top 20 would have more than one or two films that I couldn't possibly defend as 'good'.

For the record, SotL is, to me, a good tv movie with a two good performances from Jodie Foster and Ted Levine and a decent script. How Hopkins got the Oscar though, I'll never know. There are Jews who can't watch that film because his performance is so hammy.
 
I just cut it down to the ones I haven't seen (at least in full, I remember watching large chunks of a few of these but wouldn't call them proper viewings)

100) The Station Agent
93) Short Cuts
92) The Wizard of Oz
85) Wonder Boys
84) Breakfast at Tiffany's
83) Arsenic and Old Lace
75) Dial M for Murder
63) Singin' in the Rain
37) Sense and Sensibility
32) To Kill a Mockingbird
23) Some Like it Hot
 
Hmm I thought Blade Runner was loved by all MoFos. We have a traitor in our midst!

Actually I'm curious to know why you don't like it.
 
I may be sort of biased about Apocalypse Now because i loved Heart of Darkness and for me the philosophy in Apocalypse Now was not half baked at all most likely since i had to read and analize Heart of Darkness in my AP Literature class and i thought it was a good adaptation and i liked the idea of changing it to Vietnam instead of the Congo, it made it more relatable to the time and i didn't think it took away from the story.
