The Ridiculous " Empire's The 301 Greatest Movies of All Time" List

[Emirazza]

This is the latest list from Empire, guys. But this list is voted by the readers of Empire, not critics. And I thought this deserves a new topic, because this list is fucking ridiculous!!!

 

Here we go, http://www.empireonline.com/301/

Working from #1 backwards.

 

 

 

TDK at #3. Oh boy, here we go.

[4815162342]

Episode IV at #6 is definitely high (no complaints though with ESB at #1).

[4815162342]

Inception at #10.

 

I think the only readers to submit for this list were Pink, Squaremaster, and #ED.

[4815162342]

Avengers at #16. This is getting too nutty for me.

The Top 10 is about as predictable as they come. 9 of those movies are in the IMDb Top 20.

Yeah its pretty terrible. You'll soon find Skyfall and TDKR.

Other than no SM2, no X2, but MOS is, and E.T. being down at what? #65?(that movie gets no respect) ...movies may be out of order, but there's nothing glaringly bad other than it being more of a popularity contest and not a true referendum on quality or artistry. Any time you ask for fans to vote you're always going to end up with The People's Choice Awards not the Academy Awards.

 

Wait, Braveheart at #174???

 

[MrPink]

Inception at #10.

 

I think the only readers to submit for this list were Pink, Squaremaster, and #ED.

 

If this were the case, TDK would be #1 and Inception would be easy top 5.

 

Boo this list. Nolan not high enough.

Wait, Braveheart at #174???

 

too high? definitely too high.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

too high? definitely too high.

 

[The Stingray]

lol. I stopped reading when I saw Man of Steel on there.

[Emirazza]

too high? definitely too high.

Yeah, a bit too high. Because Dr. Strangelove is at #175.

Isn't it some kind of law that Man of Steel has to be on every single list, good and bad?

[Empire]

I don't remember making this list. 

[Emirazza]

lol. I stopped reading when I saw Man of Steel on there.

I stopped reading in 170s. Where was it ranked?   I actually stopped reading when I saw TA at #16, but continued after a while to check out some more. But now I'm officially done with this list.

Yes

[darkelf]

Yes

 

Well, it did change the world then, it was the good character and the bad, the movie we needed but didn't deserve, it was the movie that gave S to every single one of us.

[Kalo]

it's voted by fans.. and Empire Strikes back is the the best film of all time.. 

[DAR]

I will say Heat at 36 is good to see.  I feel that movie doesn't get the respect it deserves
