TDKR dropping that much is a good sign.

[Michael Gary Scott]

"Turning..."?

Well I don't think Lawrence of Arabia deserves to make the list it was a film I couldn't get into

[CJohn]

My top 100 is pushing movies in a big way:

 

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

 

I am so glad it went up 20 positions! 

Edited August 3, 2013 by CJohn

[Michael Gary Scott]

Yay 3 films that made my list!

[Plain Old Tele]

Well I don't think Lawrence of Arabia deserves to make the list it was a film I couldn't get into

 

Okay, now I definitely know who to ban.

[AdamKendall]

Yeah for Halloween, top 15 for me ... POTC ... DAMN, that's high, and I though having it barely in the top 100 was high.

LYR=last year's rank, when available

 

#100 (You did it MGS)

100. Almost Famous

LYR: 312

Cameron Crowe, 2000

 

Nominated for 4 Oscars, won 1

30 points

 

"It's all happening."

 

Synopsis: A high-school boy is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour

 

Trivia: The original title for Almost Famous was actually "Untitled", however Dreamworks would not allow this, so Cameron Crowe called the bootleg edition of Almost Famous on DVD "Untitled" instead.

 

#99 (I thought we could wait a little longer before riczhang's meltdown, but I guess not)

99. All Quiet on the Western Front

LYR: 782

Lewis Milestone, 1930

Nominated for 4 Oscars, won 2

30 points

 

"This story is neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war..."

Synopsis: A young soldier faces profound disillusionment in the soul-destroying horror of World War I.

 

Trivia: The silent (synchronised sound, non-dialogue) version premiered 73 years after the film's release (in the UK, that is) at the Watershed in Bristol on Sunday 23 November 2003. 

 

#98

98. Life of Pi

LYR: N/A

Ang Lee, 2013

 

Nominated for 11 Oscars, won 4

30 points

 

"So which story do you prefer?"

 

Synopsis: A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor: a fearsome Bengal tiger.

 

Trivia: The first film not rated PG-13 or R by the MPAA to win the Oscar for Best Director since Out of Africa

 

Meh. At least it made the top 100. I was afraid that it wouldn't.
