Evil Chris · 08-22-2002, 08:28 PM

[Labret] · 08-22-2002, 08:30 PM

The should kick off ever movie made in the last 5 years.

Pathfinder · 08-22-2002, 08:36 PM

Did I overlook Shane (with Alan Ladd), which is my favorite western of all time, or is it on the list?

TeraBabes · 08-22-2002, 09:10 PM

It's not bad, but The MAtrix is about 33 spots too low...

Good to see Kurosawa's movie at #8, given the fact that many voters are Americans

True. Most movies made today it seems like they have the McDonalds execs right there while they're editing the script to figure out how they can create some Value Meal pack out of it or stuff a toy in a happy meal. Bullshit marketing!

Morgan · 08-22-2002, 10:11 PM

funny.... last week i ordered 3 movies from netflix:
taxi driver #31 and apocalypse now #32. along with harry potter too. but it was odd they came one after another.

I Only like about 50% of the movies listed, and the order they are listed is way off from my personal taste.

any movie list where "toy story 2" is twice as high as "being john malkovich" and internet geeks skewing starwars higher than it should be isn't exactly a definitive and binding guide.

QGals · 08-22-2002, 11:47 PM

Braveheart (71???), Pulp Fiction, and Goodfellas sould be higher

anyone seen Mulholland Dr.? heard its a good, but wierd, movie....was listed somewhere in the 100's

Kosch · 08-22-2002, 11:47 PM

Hm, i miss Deep Throat in that list...

I have. Typical David Lynch movie.
Some people like it, some don't.
I think it's just easy to make a weird movie, so it shouldn't be in top 200. I wish he would make good movies, too, not just weird

Bree · 08-23-2002, 12:31 AM

I liked The Green Mile.. didn't see that on the list.. and I didn't see these on the list and they are good:

Frank Herbert's Dune
U-571 (really excellent... IMHO)

Fletch XXX · 08-23-2002, 12:35 AM

Rosemary's Baby.

It might be easy to make a weird movie but it's not easy to make a David Lynch movie!

"The Straight Story" wasn't too weird.

I don't either. The movie bored me, and DeNiro is one of favorite actors. But his role in the movie "Awakenings" was the most incredible acting i've ever seen him do. It's worth to watch this movie just to see DeNiro act. Pure brilliance. I'll never understand why he didn't get an oscar for that one.

Glad to see Shawshank and Memento up there in the top 10.

FuqALot · 08-23-2002, 05:07 AM

Why are once upon a time in america/west and carlito's way never posted by someone, I think I like these movies most.

Captain Canada · 08-23-2002, 05:18 AM

I prefer this list.

The AFI also put out a list of their picks for the top 100 movies ever made, you can see it here.

The Filmsite list is in alphabetical order while the AFI list is in order of best to worst.

The music was great too.

The movie also remains timless and has shown to be a major influence on almost every aspect of modern pop culture, with such diverse students as The Clash all the way to the movie Seven.

Theo · 08-23-2002, 05:25 AM

I saw the godfather for one more time last weekend. Great movie, I love it, but I wouldn't put it as no1. I would vote for Apocalypse Now as the no1

Are you serious? Most of those movies on that list are boring. You and I must be of different generations cause half the films on your list were made before 1950.

So you've seen most of the movies on that list, have you?

If not, then maybe you should.

x3guide · 08-23-2002, 06:16 AM

Since someone listed U-571 as one of their favorites (.....) I'll recommend DAS BOOT again.. It's #36 on that top 250 list, btw. Don't miss this one.

Big Lebowski is probably the most recent film I saw and liked

Apocalypse Now should be ranked higher.

boldy · 08-23-2002, 06:53 AM

WTF E Fucking T at 220

Playmaker · 08-23-2002, 06:53 AM

Scarface should be in the Top Ten. I didn't even see it ranked...

Paul Markham · 08-23-2002, 06:54 AM

Lawrence of Arabia
Casablanca

Just never tire of watching them.

But I agree with the movies made in the last four years, most of them were written by advertising execs. You know the ending 10 minutes into the film. Made for the common denominator and to appeal to 15-20 year olds.

So many would never of been made if it was not for the toys they can sell off it. Wonder how long before the porn industry jump on this bandwagon?

letshunt · 08-23-2002, 07:11 AM

Interesting to note how many Martin Scorcese and Francis for Coppola movies are there..

The Godfather should be no. 1...absolutely riveting performance by Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert Duvall. Especially Marlon Brando, he has a presense in that movie you can just feel.

Did Tender Mercies end end up on the list?....Robert Duvall is tour de force in that film.

Oh, and as for why alot of old movies are on that list....there was a time when movies where about emotions and feelings and really touched and affected you. Mot many of those left...mostly pure entertainment or sappy.

Of course there was Silence of the Lambs....I was mesmerized by Anthony Hopkins in that one.
