So remember the "Evolutions 102 Greatest Games of all time" from a while back. Well this is the same except for movies.

How it works is:

1. Compile a list of your favourite ten movies and rank them in order (1. being your favourite movie of all time, 2. being your second most favourite etc)

2. PM them to me.

3. Please use the most common title when identifying films and vote for single movies not series.



I know there's a similar thread going on at hyperactive, however this one is different in that because of the different voting system the movie that comes in second will actually have some value.

If you're stuck for ideas you might want to check out the imdb top 250 movies as voted by their users. Check it. http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

However you really only need to look at this page :Dhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000199/

What's the deal with Trilogies?

Say I like the LotRs Trilogy, do I have to rank each of the three films, or can just put the whole trilogy in one vote?

Just wondering since if I put in all the LotR and Starwars movies in that doesn't leave me much room for any of my other favourite films...

I just put the best of each trilogy in. :)

Yeah i thought we'd go for individual movies. Is that cool?

EDIT: Judging by the first three votes (mine, Sytadel's and Lordage's) we should be able to manage a top 200.

Great idea Texta. Can't wait to see the list!

This will indeed be interesting.. sending votes

Hey thanks for the votes guys. I'll probably hold voting open for a week or so, but the sooner you vote the better. As awesome as this is, it's not The Definitive "Greatest movie poll" so don't feel you have to spend too long on it.

However you are meant to be picking what you consider to be the best movies of all time, not just ten random movies so if some people want to recast their votes that's cool. :P (The quick test for checking if a movie is worthy of your vote is to watch the end credits... if the name "Al Pacino" appears in it then it is. Everything else is bogus)

Pacino is no deNiro, though.

So are you get as much votes as the best of games of all time thread?

Bump... how's the list going?

Looks like it's not going to well, considring the lack of activity in this thread :(

A shame considering...

It's too hard to rank 10 movies in order. I love too many of them. How 'bout if you change it to that you only can submit one or two?

Yeah, given I've only recieved like 5 votes for probably 49 different films, I'm kinda waiting for a few more people to vote before releasing anything. Perhaps people could just post their lists up here and we can laugh at them ("omg noob Lotr was the suxx0r" kinda thing).

This was my list. I imagine there'd be the odd change if I really sat down and thought about it.


1. Apocalypse Now
2. The Godfather Part II
3. The Godfather
4. The Bridge on the River Kwai
5. Taxi driver
6. Singin’ in the rain
7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
8. The triplets of Belleville
9. Amelie
10. Any Given Sunday

3/ Chinatown
4/ The Godfather: Part II
5/ Pulp Fiction
6/ Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

2. Beavis and Butthead Do America
3. Dawn of the Dead (Original)
4. Jurassic Park
5. Dumb and Dumber

EDIT: New list below.

Finding Nemo. FINDING NEMO! *yarrrr 'splode*

What the? :o

So bad it's good.

:P

I'm sorry, but Spy Kids is not better than Alien, Ghost in the Shell and Revenge of the Sith...

4. Fight Club
5. Fight Club
6. Fight Club
7. Fight Club
8. Fight Club
9. Fight Club
10. Fight Club

Iroquois, Dr. Strangelove really should have been rated higher. Such a brilliant film, it climbs higher and higher in my list every day. It now sits at about number five. You have a good taste in movies, though, but the Blue Brothers #2 wtf, and Equilibrium should never be mentioned my anyone again. I like how you included Shaun of the Dead and Clerks so highly, as far as I'm concerned they're two of the best comedies of all time. I really should do up a top 100 myself. But perhaps you should check out more arty films like Brazil, Mulholland Dr. and Hana-Bi.

1. Mulholland Drive no question. I wouldn't consider it "arty" either.

But yeah, a few too many recent films in that list Iroquois. The less said about the addition of Spy Kids the better. :P

@Estapol - Spy Kids isn't better, and that's why I like it.

@DC - I'm 15. Whaddaya expect? Be lucky I didn't put Wedding Crashers or Deuce Bigalow or some piece of shit on the list.

is not better than The Godfather!

EDIT: My bad. Will have to put it up tomorrow.

1. Apocalypse Now
2. The Godfather Part II
3. The Godfather
4. The Bridge on the River Kwai
5. Taxi driver
6. Singin’ in the rain
7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
8. The triplets of Belleville
9. Amelie
10. Any Given Sunday


There wasn't enough consistancy for there to be any point posting a list when this thread *ended* so I didn't bother. Maybe if we get a few more entries.


EDIT: This post would have made sense if JJJames hadn't edited his post.

Ohh, okay man. Guess there isn't any point, but what's up with no Star Wars? It seems everyone voted for that!

Time for some serious nitpicking about Texta's posts...

I have a different opinion - if people on forums had the same opinions we wouldn't have any interesting discussion. That's my opinion. If you don't like it I have others.

If you claim it's your opinion, and you're defending that, then why did you change Spy Kids and move it up the list (towards 100) after other people said in THEIR opinion that Spy Kids was crap?

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. Being John Malkovich
3. American Beauty
4. Amelie (I found it charming)
5. Sin City
6. Donnie Darko
7. Mulholland Drive
8. Memento
9. The Red Violin
10. FF: Advent Children... included for its sheer spectacle and the nostalgia.

These aren't in any particular order. When I see brilliant movies, it's hard to determine which one is "better" than another, especially if they're different genres.

But if I had to rank them, the list above is sufficient.

Nice list man. ;)

Yeah, but imagine how even more boring it would be if every time people had a difference of opinion they didn't say anything!

And yeah, The Godfather wasn't my number one, but I guess I just think it deserves to be a little higher than 100. It doesn't really matter, but that's my opinion and I might as well share it otherwise we should just shut down the forum and everyone can start their own blog.

Out of interest the IMDB top ten is:

1. The Godfather (1972) 142,961
2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 173,103
3. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 126,831
4. The Godfather: Part II (1974) 82,118
5. Schindler's List (1993) 109,616
6. Shichinin no samurai (1954) 37,941
7. Casablanca (1942) 73,986
8. Star Wars (1977) 153,270
9. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 119,493
10. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966)

Which just goes to prove that old saying that if 50 million people have a bad idea, it's still a bad idea. (I forget who said that). :D

I just saw Planet of the Apes and Beneath The Planet of the Apes.
Pretty good, though I'm wondering how there can be a sequel to Beneath? (Don't know where else to say this :P)
