Amelie is one of my faves, Eternal Sunshine and Raiders are great, Fight Club is good, haven't seen Chinatown.
 
I believe this was the second time this was done... and I see no reason we can't do it again... not sure if Bobby has time though... anyone else want to tackle it if he doesn't?
 
Apocalypse Now is chaotic, not a mess. There is a distinct difference between the two, most notably a quality difference. There's nothing messy about Apocalypse Now at all.

Anyway, I'll try and post another 5 tonight.
 
Am I the only person who thinks Braveheart is silly, inaccurate, offensive, unbelievable tosh?? And I don't mind silly, but it takes itself way too seriously.
 
If Fight Club is on here (which it most likely will be) , who is exactly voted for it - because I don't see it more than 2 peoples favorite movie's lists.
 
Lennon isn't completely to blame.















But mostly.

A couple other people put those movies on the low end of their list, and that, combined with Lennon, put it on the bottom end of the 100.
 
A quick 5 for tonight. I'm swamped this evening.

"What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?"

65) Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)

"Men, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west. Now you men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor."

64) Blazing Saddles (Mel Brooks, 1974)

"If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives, it makes us feel as though our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin'. Bless you all."

63) Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952)

"It was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin' through the mountains of a night. Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin'. Never said nothin' goin' by. He just rode on past...and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin' on ahead and he was fixin' to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up."

62) No Country for Old Men (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2007)

"The last time I seen my father, he was blind and diseased from drinking. And every time he put the bottle to his mouth, he don't suck out of it, it sucks out of him until he shrunk so wrinkled and yellow even the dogs didn't know him."

61) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Milos Forman, 1975)
 
Cool, look foward to seeing the completed list. I don't think I ever got mine in time, but it'll still be great to see it.
 
These are personal and subjective rankings. Upon the first time seeing these I knew that they would be my last (aside from Lord of the Rings which I quite enjoyed but I have talked about how the movie is too long for me to watch over and over again. I'm sure there are highly acclaimed movies that we all hate and are wondering how people can't like them. By looking at my top 100 you can see that films like these are just not what I like to watch too much of. I've given them a chance though.
