Having read some of these lists, I now understand why we had such an awful list last year. Some are good; most are just atrocious imo.

Come on, you can't leave it at that. You gotta call people out, it's what Sir Richard Zhang of Merylia would do.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Come at me riczhang

[riczhang]

Come at me riczhang

 

Oh it is. I am in the middle of commenting on everyone's. I just was interrupted by a business report. 

[riczhang]

Here's the Judgement: 

 

 

Walt: I gave up on you after Forrest Gump tied for first. Some good titles. Mostly mediocre. 

Karl: Not a fan at all. I can see why you would put some films like Pulp Fiction and Beverly Hills Cop where they are, but I thoroughly disliked both movies. Overall, mixed. The Good: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The Bad: Pulp Fiction The Ugly: The Fountain

Mahnamahna: Too much disney and animated films. Other than that, surprisingly decent. 

Spaghetti: Mised between Good and Bad. Monty Python, Shawshank Redemption, Spirited away, and Social Network are all awful picks for Top 10. Top 200 for some of the first two, and for the last two no where in any top list. 

DAR: I like it. There are some choices I disagree with, cough, The Incredibles, cough. But overall best one yet. I love the Sunset Boulevard pick at #4 and Bonnie and Clyde. 

Numbers: This one I really like. Carlos and Apollo 13 don't deserve to be top 10, but they're still great films. 

Coolio: Batman, really? Next. 

Lisa: Too much von trier. Love the lang though.

Baumer: We disagree a lot, and this is definitely one of those times

Olive: I'm seeing way too much recent

Hannah Montana: Oh god, where do I start? 

Chasmmi: Life of Pi, Forrest Gump, Men in Black, Schindler's List, and etc. Spew

JohnnY: Your Rear Window #1 pick gave me so much hope. Shame the rest of the list didn't live up. 

ThatMovieGuy: There's some decent picks. But overall, No. 

Punishment: This is such a franchise, GA list. 

JarJar: I really like this one. 8 1/2, 2001, Dictator, Passion of Joan, and 400 blows are all quite inspired picks

Tele: Nice. 

Adam: Decent, I suppose.

Olive: I'm seeing way too much recent

Hannah Montana: Oh god, where do I start? 

Chasmmi: Life of Pi, Forrest Gump, Men in Black, Schindler's List, and etc. Spew

JohnnY: Your Rear Window #1 pick gave me so much hope. Shame the rest of the list didn't live up. 

ThatMovieGuy: There's some decent picks. But overall, No. 

Punishment: This is such a franchise, GA list. 

JarJar: I really like this one. 8 1/2, 2001, Dictator, Passion of Joan, and 400 blows are all quite inspired picks

Tele: Nice. 

Adam: Decent, I suppose. 

Considering your top 10 from the earlier pages, I'll take decent and run with it. (I've only seen one or two of your top 10 as my film experience doesn't generally go earlier than 1970 outside of a handful of films ... and WOW, you really loved Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ... I've wanted to see it, but never got around to it. )

Hmmm... SUNSET BOULEVARD. That might've snuck in had I given it more thought.
