Boxoffice.com's Top 100 Films of All Time 2013: THE RESULTS (final list in OP)

[Jake Gittes]

Why have I not seen Once Upon a Time in the West? 

That's a very good question, and I suggest you watch it as soon as possible. 

[Fanboy]

I am glad the Big Lebowski dropped. So many better films from The Coens out there. Fargo, No Country, True Grit, A Serious Man...

[AdamKendall]

Yeah for Terminator, and ESPECIALLY Heat.  Top 20 film for me.

[CJohn]

Shocking drop for The Terminator.

[Jake Gittes]

Heat! Second movie (after OUATITW) that I've got in my top 10. Great.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I had The Heat, Sunset Blvd, and Terminator all in my list. 

[Fanboy]

This year is looking so much better than last year. So far from top 50: Requiem for a Dream Sunset Blvd. Haven't seen Heat. That makes 3 movies I haven't seen. 

[CJohn]

I had Terminator, but in the end I left just Terminator 2.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

This year is looking so much better than last year. So far from top 50: Requiem for a Dream Sunset Blvd. Haven't seen Heat. That makes 3 movies I haven't seen. 

So far this list is good.

the surprising thing is the ones that were higher on the first list have dropped, eg terminator and lebowski

[CJohn]

I was expecting some of these movies to be in the top 30. That Terminator drop is still surprising me.
