a top 7...fill in the rest

Top Gun :Graucho

I can't believe people are listing 'Finding Nemo' and 'Spiderman' and 'Harry Potter' as the greatest movies of all time . . . . . I guess $100mil in marketing really works. The more crappy cross-promotional merchandise a movie makes, the better it is? :eek2 :disgust

i agree although i guess it goes to show how easy it is to influence some people

geez it's their opinion... if they liked it... why shou;dn't they list it

LOTR Trilogy, at the top where it deserves to be

Pulp Fiction

The Godfather (1 & 2, part 3 blew)

Shawshank Redemption

Ikiru

Saving Private Ryan

Apocalypse Now

Jaws

Dr. Stranglelove

American Beauty

Schindler's List

Bladerunner
Dawn of the Dead 1978
25th Hour
Platoon
Wall Street
Death of a Salesman (1980s Version)
Alien(s)
From Dusk till Dawn
Summer of Sam
Fightclub

the 3 ring movies
full metal jacket
casablanca
the 3 god father movies
schindler's list
american beauty
sntach

La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful)
The Red Violin

I must add 1 movie, BRAVEHEART!!

Beverly Hills Cop? hehehe

off the top of my head:

1. Godfather (both 1 and 2)
2. Apocalypse Now
3. The Shining
4. Fargo
5. North by Northwest
6. Scarface
7. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
8. Unforgiven
9. On the Waterfront
10. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

and then there are a lot of cultural touchstone films that you should see just so you get the references later, like Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction

If I actually sat down and gave it a lot of though I'm sure my top 10 would look different, but this is a pretty good one

I think the Harry Potter movies are fantastic, and they'll be like the Wizard of Oz, we'll be watching them once every year from now until forever.

You should be killed.

good picks :thumbsup

You should be killed too.

Au Revoir Les Infants deserves to be in that top10 somewhere...

About a Boy was great too

ITS A TRAP, GET AN AXE.

The Cube was excellent

I love these movie threads, good for my netflix account :)

1. Glengarry Glen Ross
2. Deep Throat
3. School Of Rock
4. This Is Spinal Tap
5. A Clockwork Orange
6. Bad Taste
7. Videodrome
8. Requiem For A Dream
9. Ringu
10. Texas Chainsaw Massacre

sort of my top 10 list and sort of 10 movies everyone needs to see...

Shawshank Redemption
Unforgiven
Wall Street
Schindler's List
Starwars
Indiana Jones
Lord of the Rings
Stand By Me
Braveheart
Office Space

I'd cut out casablanca, but the rest is definetely on my list ;)
