  • Start date Start date
I should probably get round to watching Clerks. 2001 and Shawshank are too high for me, but they were always going to be.
 
Haven't seen 12 Angry Men or The Shawshank Redemption and you gave T2 a 6.5/10. I'm all done with you, Dill-Man!
 
You should start your own Top 100 thread. Then you can include only the movies you love and explain why you love them so much. I think a lot of us would be interested to know what you'd include, given the movies you don't like.
 
I'm doing a APUSH (AP US History) research project on 60's pop culture (which includes Ken Kesey greatly) and an American Lit project on Jack Kerouac so I can probably have some imput to help your thread.

It will be a "Cool stuff from kid's research projects" thread

I think this is part of list, from what I gathered here
 
I'll start by saying I agree about Children of Men, surely one of the best films of the last decade, probably one of the best of all time. I also think The Godfather is praised too uniformly. It is great, but I start to think people are just going with the flow if no one dissents. Or maybe, it's just that good.

But dude, you can't just totally rip on other people's opinions without at least offering a reason. You made several inflammatory statements about movies that many people here love. Now that's not impolite in itself, but when you don't add a supporting reason for hating these movies, you just come across as elitist.
 
Well, the way I look at this, is that this is Mofo's favorite 100 movies. It's not Mofo's 100 Technically Greatest movies. It's all about the movies you most enjoy watching. And if I'm being completely honest, Taxi Driver, even though it is a much better movie, is not as enjoyable a viewing experience as Clerks II, so in terms of favorites, I'd have it ranked above Taxi Driver as well.

Clerks II wouldn't be in my top 20 favorites mind you, but it was for a few of the posters.

Just chizzle, my bizzles. This list is all in fun. Liven it up and tell us which of these films you've seen and what you think of them.

I'm going to try and post 95-81 all in one big post here in the next hour or so.
 
no i haven't =\

and AP classes don't always necessarily mean intelligence, we actually argued about this in my apgov class haha (we argue about aaanything) i think with the tracking system and ap kids versus kids in regular classes it's more about priorities than intelligence. Although it does take some brains to comprehend the textbook i'm just sticking up for people in regular classes here lol but whatever, i have two months left what do i care?
 
Correction, this is 28 Mofo member's favourite movies. As for me, Clerks 2 (not going to make it sound better with those roman numerals now) is about as enjoyable as being kicked in the balls and told to laugh. But please BobbyB, continue with the list, just ignore us.
 
Do I think it is the greatest movie ever... No... Do I think it is a good movie with some cool twists and turns... that I enjoy... Yes.
 
It's fine with me... I think members need to be given a little longer to turn their lists in this time anyway... and maybe even have the ones who want to participate sign up in a thread so, in the end, Badger would know if everyone's list was in... of course you're going to have a few sign up who will never get around to making their list... but we could all given 'em hell until they do or bow out...
 
Sense and Sensibility got to number 37? I am actually smiling at my computer. That must mean other people voted for it too
 
I was plesently surprised with the inclusion of To Kill a Mockingbird. Loved that movie, I hope other "older movies" will make it, especially Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
 
I actually typed this before you posted, but it just went up now; I take it back, you have qualified your statements.
 
Well, I put a list in, if anyone's still keeping track, although I can't remember what I picked. Definitely picked Show Me Love and Lost in Translation, probably as 2 of my top 3. But this list...Dogma? The Incredibles? o.0 Top half will be interesting. Wonder if Fight Club will be number one again? I don't think it made my top 20 this time round.
