Films and such
After reading Muslims thread on how 'crap' those movies are in his opinion i was wondering what ppl's top10 films of all time are. Would be interesting to see the spread and the similarities/differences between ppl. Especially what Muslim likes....

Anway my top 10 is:

1.Gladiator
2.Forrest Gump
3.The Great Escape
4.Green Mile
5.El Cid
6.American Pie
7.Shawshanks Redemption
8.Braveheart
9.Goldeneye
10.Scarface

I know ppl wont agree with my choices, but not everyone likes exactly the same thing heh...

Well, this has been done to death. Not for a while though, so here goes:

Citizen Kane
Usual Suspects
Shawshank Redemption
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Memento
The Big Lebowski
Fight Club
The Matrix

Not necessarily in that order. The first three are equally my favourites, the rest I have no real preference, one over the other, expect for The Matrix, which is defintely at the bottom of the list.

Yes, Clerks should definitely be there, probably in place of Fight Club. It's one of the few films I can watch repeatedly without tiring.

hey i was JUSt going to make a thread about this and saw this here so decided not to

I don't have a top 10 but i was just discussing my top 5 and they are:

1. American Beauty
2. Fight Club
3. Donnie Darko
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. Good Will Hunting

The top 3 however completely outclass 4 and 5, i really like those types of film where basically the entire film is made to make a point which you don't get by just watching the film alone (it took me all of last night to just figure out Donnie Darko's plot)

@Torz: You are Kidding right about Van Wilder. People have commented about American Pie being in peoples top 10 but Van Wilder make sthis look like a masterpeice

as for Structural Integrity how could you put U-571 in your list. The movie is rubbish and is made worse by the Pro Americain Stance. The Capture of the enigma machine was probally one of the most important events of the war and it was achieved first by the Brits. This movie decided to make out it was the Yanks that got it first and that they single handedly won the war and has probally now led to a whole generation of youngsters who believe it was a true story. In reality the yanks didnt get their hands on one until 1945 while britain had obtained and cracked the code by 1941 . Why when Hollywood insist on making movies based around historical events cant they get the facts right. Oh and Mel Gibson isnt much better with his butchering of Scottish history in Braveheart.

oooh... I didn't like U-571 for it's historical correctness (and never saw the story as historical correct), I just liked the story and how it was told, and I'm particulary fond of submarines.

Oh... and now you mention BraveHeart... I liked that one too. Again, I don't care if it's complete bollocks (hence, I don't know any of that part of history), I liked the story and how it's filmed.

I even liked Waterworld for a particular reason. The same reason why I liked these movies

Erm. I was doing The Top 5 Non-Hollywood Films I've Seen.

What I wasn't doing was Listing Many Good Non-Hollywood Films I've Seen.

I just saw The Princess & The Warrior again, but I didn't need to include that. Nor Million Dollar Hotel. I could include Heart - even though it's in English. No, I was writing my top 5 non-hollywood films.

Your point is poorly made.

I think the point was that most people (include the original poster) had a top 10. By only doing 5 films, it detracted from your (perfectly valid) point that there are great foriegn films.

Amores Perros did rock rather incely tho.

I'm glad to see that looking down the list most people's choices are acceptable, although there are a few odd choices:

American Pie? eh, when where why? Even on the goofy comedy stakes, you have Animal House and Dumb and Dumber, what about Ghostbusters or Caddyshack, and you chose American pie in your TOP 10!!! sigh.
ive seen all these movies!
LA HAINE IS THA ACE MOVIE

RealJames is infamous around these parts
Something interesting I've noticed is that where someone has specified a particular Star Wars film (ie not just saying the trilogy) it always seems to be The Empire Strikes Back. I dunno quite why, but it's certainly my favourite. Two elements spring to mind, first of all is the cool opening battle on Hoth 6, and the second is that unlike the other two it doesn't have a happy ending. The first was originally made as a stand-alone film, and the third was the 'ending', so both had to end well, but TESP wasn't, so it didn't, which appealed to me for some reason.

Anyway, enough ranting, films.. I don't have a specific top 10, but I have some I really like.
Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back (naturally)
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (I own the director's cut)
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (as per my siggy)
Slap Shot (I really need to find a copy of this film somewhere)
Gone In Sixty Seconds (the last half hour at least)

Umm.. I'm sure I'll think of more later, so I'll prolly append my post.
