I once posted my top 100 films on here once.

Dang! Did you have the listed sequentially as well?

 

[Jameson Rook]

''Unfortunately''? What forum do you think you're on?

My peers lecture me that I gravitate towards lowbrow shlock, you people make me feel at home.

 

[SNIKT1950]

6. Network

This would have made my Top 20.

Terms of Endearment and On Golden Pond > Die Hard 1 and T2

 

[JAWS]

Dang! Did you have the listed sequentially as well?

Yep... I went through my top 15 to 20 of each genre... Gave them a star rating and went from there... It was pretty accurate system for my tastes.. I am sure its a bit outdated now and there would be some additions and a change here or there but it was without question my top 100

This is why I have always hoped that Lucas would've digitally added a decorated christmas tree at Lukes home, in the hallway at Cloud City and in the Emperor throne room.

Thankfully they stopped making them before CGI took hold of action films.

Amen.

Ditto

Damn, impressive, most impressive.

I hate Top 10 lists. But **** it, here's an attempt at one:

1. Angel Heart (1987) by Alan Parker
2. Apocalypse Now (1979) by Francis Ford Coppola
3. There Will Be Blood (2007) by Paul Thomas Anderson
4. Drive (2011) by Nicolas Winding Refn
5. Chinatown (1974) by Roman Polanski
6. Pulp Fiction (1994) by Quentin Tarantino
7. Heat (1995) by Michael Mann
8. The Ninth Gate (1999) by Roman Polanski
9. The Piano (1993) by Jane Campion
10. The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) by Stuart Rosenberg

This is not the list of someone who considers Gremlins 2, Last Action Hero, and Howard the Duck to be "criminally underrated masterpieces." Post your real list please.

9. The Great Escape (1963)

2. Back To The Future (1985)

[Wor-Gar]

I was not expecting POTC to be in your top 10.

I did have a hard time choosing this over Road Warrior. But yes, I really love the world they created for Sparrow and its sense of adventure and fun. It's got the same sensibilities as Raiders so I find it very appealing. That said, now you have me rethinking my lack of Road Warrior...

So a-dev, I see Indy 3 on your list and no Raiders.

I'm over at Wor-Gar's home can you come over we want to talk with you.

This (Network) would have made my Top 20.

You need to move it higher -- Network was so ahead of its time its insane. And its simply the best script ever written (satirical yet true, self-aware yet prophetic).

 

[JAWS]

Damn, impressive, most impressive.

I will have to give it another go soon...

 

[Captain Clown]

1 - Batman Returns
2 - Beetlejuice
3 - The Transformers: The Movie
4 - Batman '89
5 - Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
6 - Toy Story 2
7 - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)
8 - Skyfall
9 - Real Steel
10 - It's a Wonderful Life

This list constantly changes because I can never make up my mind.

Honorable Mentions:

Speed Racer
Lord of the Rings (extended trilogy)
X2: X-Men United
10 Cloverfield Lane
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest & At World's End
Superman III
Big Eyes

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Pirates is a fun adventure film with great sets, characters, and a great theme.

Someone made a top 10 favorites movie characters thread a few years ago, and Sparrow is on my top 10 list.

Top ten lists are tough because if you have a definitive favorite, then it almost doesn't matter what's #2 -10.

 

[SNIKT1950]

5 - Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

This would have been #11 for me.

My "Honest Top 10" isn't very diverse:

Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Rogue One
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
ALIENS

Getting away from the Iron Curtain of SW/LOTR/Miyazaki would include the likes of:

Seven Samurai
Raiders of the Lost Ark
JAWS
Bridge on the River Kwai
Love Actually
Pinocchio
My Neighbor Totoro
ALIEN
Back to the Future
Unforgiven
Bullet in the Head
Lost in Translation
Boyhood
Whale Rider
RoboCop
Before Sunrise
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Ex Machina

I find it interesting that when all is said and done there really isn't a lot of room for cbm's in my Top 30.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Bridge on the River Kwai

One of the greats, my favorite Lean. Would have made the Top 20.

Also 'Rear Window' would have been my Hitchcock choice.

One of the greats, my favorite Lean

That was my pick, not jye's.
