I can't see Titanic or Clue moving from my top 2 spots anytime soon, but you never know...new movies come out every year, and maybe there will be another amazing classic that I'll want to replace them with (and I can say my #3-100 spots are definitely open for change:)...

For people who have done this list for multiple times, does your #1 movie change from year to year?

 

I signed up for letterboxd recently and been going through all the films I've watched from each decade. I have a list of 100 almost done (haven't ranked yet) but I have no idea what to put at #1 right now.  

 

 

My #1 pretty much never changes.

 

This will be the first time my #3 is different in a while I believe though.

  33. Goodfellas

  34. Ghostbusters

  35. Rounders

  36. Glengarry Glen Ross

  37. Fargo

  38. Planet of the Apes (1968):  The best film made prior to 1970.  The ending just blew me away....and the message about animal rights was about 40 years ahead of its time.  

  39. Planes Trains and Automobiles:  Might be John Hughes' best movie.  Its the film that should have gotten him an Oscar nomination for best everything.  Also, John Candy should have at least been nominated in 1987 for best supporting.  A tender movie set around the holidays.  Beyond being extremely funny, it has that typical Hughes astute insight into the human condition.

  40. Silver Linings Playbook: One of my favourite films of the decade.  Lawrence might not have deserved best actress for this film (Riva was mind blowingly terrific in Amour) but the film is one of pure joy and contains a brilliant cast and knockout performances from all involved.

  41. Saving Private Ryan:  The opening 20 minutes might be the best directed 20 minutes in cinematic history.  The rest of the film is pretty damn good too.

  42. Bourne Ultimatum:  This is simply one of the finest action films I've ever seen.  It's up there with Raiders of the Lost Ark.  The fight with Desh and the running over rooftops is pure genius.

  43. A Fish Called Wanda:  One of the funniest films I've ever seen and Kevin Kline gives one of the funniest performances ever.

  44. Shawshank Redemption:  Get busy living...or get busy dyin......that's goddamned right.

  45. Star Wars: The Force Awakens:  Every Star Wars film gets at least an 8/10 from me.  This one is a 10.  It's a lot of fan service, and that's what makes it so great.

  46. Porky's:  This small Canadian film set the trend for high school teen comedies in the 80's.  Beyond the T&A, it's ridiculously funny.  

  47. Forrest Gump:  The third film from 1994 to make the list.  It's every bit as good as Pulp and Shawshank.  

  48. The Departed:  An all star cast,Marty doing his thing and Jack allowed to run amok.  

  49. Man on Fire:  One of the most emotional films I've seen.  Denzel and Dakota's relationship in the film tugs at your heart.  Add a wonderful script and you have one of the best films ever made.

  50. Better Off Dead:  Savage steve Holland didn't have a filter.  He made two really good films and was never really heard from again.  If you haven't seen this, find it. 

  51. Perks of Being a Wallflower:  Thank you @Ethan Hunt and @Noctis.  You got me to see this and I fell in love with it.

  52. The Shining:  Here's Johnny!  

  53. Dances With Wolves:  Won best picture in 1990, much to the chagrin of the Goodfellas loonies.  Both are terrific films.

  54. Deadpool:  Up there with The Dark Knight as the best super hero film for my money.

  55. Fast Times at Ridgemont High:  Cameron Crowe wrote it, Sean Penn kills it as Spicolli and Phoebe Cates takes her bikini top off.

  56. Mystic River:  Clint's best directed film imo

  57. Less Than Zero:  The glitz and glamour of being rich in the 80's...but at a cost.

  58. Armageddon:  Michael Bay is one of the best directors of the last 25 years.  This is his best.

  59. Groundhog Day:  Harold Ramis was incredibly talented.  He could write, direct and act.  He knocks it out of the park with this risky and iconic film.

  60. True Lies:  Arnold and Arnold and James and Jamie.  "I married Rambo."

  61. Christmas Vacation:  The best Christmas film ever made and so much humour in here.  Another John Hughes victory.

  62. On Golden Pond:  "Wife's Name isEthel Thayer, thounds like I'm lithsping, doesn't it?"  The film that made me fall in love With Hepburn.

  63. The Princess Bride:  One of the sweetest movies ever made.  And the iconic line about preparing to die.

  64. Goonies:  The ultimate kids adventure that adults will love as well

  65. Chasing Amy:  Kevin Smith's brilliant film about love, friendship and jealousy.  

  66. Boyz N The Hood:  Cuba and Fishburne...."Oh you big and bad now?  Give me the gun, Trey.  GIVE ME THE MUTHFUCKIN GUN TREY!"

  67. Friday the 13th Final Chapter:  Not just a great horror movie but expertly made in every way.  Every beat, ever scene, every shot is brilliant and terrifying in some ways.

I can't see anything ever trumping Jaws as my number one.

 

Jaws is god-tier. It's the only movie, alongside John Carpenter's The Thing, Taxi Driver, and Predator, that could give Pulp a run for its money. The original blockbuster, and still the best.

Great lists by the way, all around.

 

@Fancyarcher

 

Toy Story 2 so high! It's not in my list but, the scene with Jessie recounting her past... cue the damn onions

 

I never suspected that a freakin toy could produce so much emotion

That moment made me bawl my eyes as a seven year old seeing it in the theater. Pixar in general is great at emotionally earned scenes like that (Toy Story 3, Inside Out, Coco etc...), but When She Loved Me is still one of their finest. They really make you feel emotions for a toy.
