Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linny 1 #5 January 29, 2005 Yeah buddy... I didn't see Zoolander. Therefore your list is null and void. Saw Napoleon Dynamite tonight. Definitely does NOT constitute #18 IMO. But the dance scene at the end made up for the rest of it practically. On a more positive note, good choice with American Beauty in the top 5! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrewwhyte 1 #10 January 30, 2005 I am stunned that Godfather I leads the list that doesn't include Apocalypse Now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenfootswoops 0 #11 January 30, 2005 How did you go about coming up with a top 100? I like this one better than that until they were all in order? How in the hell do you figure Jackie Brown is better than Office Space. I think you need to re-evaluate some of those. Overall, pretty good order. I do, however, hate some of the movies you've listed but 'to each his own.' D.J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freakbrother 0 #16 January 30, 2005 Nice list - I broadly agree. I'd have had 2001 A Space Odyssey, Dr. No, Goldfinger, and the 1951 version of The Ladykillers in there somewhere. Maybe The Life of Brian, too.. . www.freak-brother.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #17 January 31, 2005 QuoteQuote The List 41. Made 73. Made Yikes!! Looks like top 99?? Sheesh i wondered who else would pick that up! And dude, you've got Made on your list but no Swingers? What's wrong with you! Otherwise there's some good stuff on there (apart from Home Alone) and mine would look pretty similar.

BillyVance 34 #22 January 31, 2005 Good list, but I would have at least had these movies in the top 20 - Star Wars Papillon Citizen Kane These were not even mentioned..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, you are not allowed to say what your favorite movies are cause not all of them are on my list and therefor, THEY ARE WRONG!!! Anyway, you list is very similar to what mine would be. And for that, I thank Netflix...making see movies I might not take the time to view.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
