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

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Of course I left the good films out. I've seen too many movies to include just good movies in my top 100. It's great or bust for my top 100. You sir need to expand your repertoire. 

How the hell did you leave Elephant Man off your list. 

[RichWS]

Kubrick's overrated.

 

If I could boo you off a stage, I would.

Last batch for now:

 

 

60. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Top 250 for me. 

 

59. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
This is good but top 100 really? 

 

58. Cidade de Deus (City of God)
I loved it, and Merielles is amazing, but I disagree with such high praise. 

 

57. American Beauty

Top 200 for me. This is a good choice. I'm surprised this showed up considering the forum's tastes. 

 

56. It's A Wonderful Life

Top 200 for me. Not my favourite Capra, but it occasionally is. 

 

55. Spider Man 2

I like the film, but WTF. 

 

54. Psycho
Good people. Psycho is one of Hitchcock's numerous greats. My #30

 

53. Fargo

My top 250. Pretty good. 53 is a bit high though

 

52. The Truman Show
Not a fan. Well I liked the film, but 52 is just plain ridiculous 

 

51. Memento

Top 200. Nolan's best.

Yay Inception!!Cohn should be happy!

[Fanboy]

Kubrick's overrated.

LOA is overrated. And overlong. 

[AdamKendall]

ET ... good film, not in my top 100.

 

Inception, great film, in my top 50

[Blankments]

Those were both on my list. However, Inception is too high...

 

 

It bored me to the point where I almost walked out. I think I had to take two breaks so I wouldn't explode. 

 

Wow... I watched it when I was 12 and I loved it so much and I love it more as time goes on. IDK how it could possibly be boring.

[riczhang]

How the hell did you leave Elephant Man off your list. 

I'm not a Lynch fan. Not at all. I will admit that I didn't like Muholland Drive because I didn't get it. I don't really get him. 

[Blankments]

52. The Truman Show

Not a fan. Well I liked the film, but 52 is just plain ridiculous 

 

I agree it should be in the top 5 at least

I agree with a lot of you say here. 

[Jake Gittes]

E.T. is overrated. The part with the doctors seriously brings it down IMO. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I'm not a Lynch fan. Not at all. I will admit that I didn't like Muholland Drive because I didn't get it. I don't really get him. 

Have seen Elephant Man? It is most mainstream film imo. 

[Dementeleus]

I agree it should be in the top 5 at least

TRUMAN SHOW isn't even in the top 5 Weir movies.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Yeesh. That's absurdly high for INCEPTION.

Nope it's too low I had it at 6

[Kvikk Lunsj]

E.T. is overrated. The part with the doctors seriously brings it down IMO. 

I  wish E.T. would have died in the first 5 minutes of the movie. The kids are so annoying. 

[riczhang]

I actually liked Gandhi over ET........ At one point. Now I prefer ET more, but not by much. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Glad to see 4 great films in a row!

It is. But I still didn't like it.
