BOT's 100 Best Films of the Century (so far) | Finished, countdown soon

[Empire]

I hope everyone has Shrek on their list...

I won't have them on my list. I used to love Shrek 1 & 2, but they didn't age well at all. I think I might hate them now. They are two of the most of their time movies ever.

[Jessie]

Shrek 1 is probably in the top 5 most beloved films of this millennium. Such a crowd pleasing film, ill be surprised if not many people have it on their list.

Can we pretend that the century began on December 25th 1999?

 

Galaxy Quest :(

Shrek 1 is probably in the top 5 most beloved films of this millennium. Such a crowd pleasing film, ill be surprised if not many people have it on their list.

I don't like Shrek... and I hardly doubt it will be in the Top 5.

 

Its wouldn't be in my top 5 either, but from a hearsay point of view, I've never heard anyone say they didn't like Shrek. its a crowd favourite so wouldn't have been surprised to see it get high on the list here, though I forget people on the internet usually have a much different opinion to the general public.
