JCS got Titanic to #8. That about wraps up all the good that his list did though

Titanic got 4 #1's, JCS only had it second (behind the highest grossing film of all time in the known universe)

Just watched Inside Out and it was a sweet story but #20 is ridiculous

I was bored at work yesterday. I adjusted the list to remove the Top 100 All Time submission. Aside from pushing The Last Jedi and Avatar into the Top 100 that list has little significance on the overall list or rankings. The Top 5 stays the same. Titanic drops from #8 to #9. The Force Awakens still would have made it. Even if you assume a reduction of points for Avengers, Lewboski still would’ve been 101.

Stop this silly logical thinking, you're ruining the CCCP's narrative!

Forget it Jimbo, it's the forums. There's an unhealthy hard-on here for anything Pixar.

Some of them are just great films Baumer lol

In Toy Story 3 when the Toys seem they were going to be burned alive, the amount of dread and sadness I felt was rather shocking to me from an animation film.

I'm not getting into this stuff for the 87th time.

ZeeSoh · May 22, 2018

I’m so happy the greatest trilogy and my favourite all got into the top 10. I would have placed the greatest movie of all time (ROTK) at #1 but I’m happy that a LotR movie took #1 nonetheless.

And Titanic should have been higher, its definitely better than TDK

And thanks and kudos to @Auteur Panda for the amazing work in doing this

I can look at others in the top 50 and think they're super overrated on here but I still can understand how they made it high. With Inside Out I'm genuinely perplexed with it being #20 but it sounds like that's a can of worms I don't want to open.

Than how will we get to 88?

It's really simple. There are people who dislike the Pixar films. And then those are us who were born with a heart.

Number 22

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Paramount Pictures, Directed by Steven Spielberg (103 Points, 23 Votes)

"James, earn this... earn it."

Top 10 Placements: 3

Top 25 Placements: 10

Previous Rankings: 2016 (83, +61), 2014 (49, +27), 2013 (67, +45), 2012 (29, +7)

Awards Count: Won 5 Oscars, Nominated by Best Picture

Tomatometer: 92% (8.6 Avg Rating)

Box Office: 216.5m (419m Adjusted)

Synopsis: Following the Normandy Landings, a group of U.S. soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.

Critic Opinion: "Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece. It cements Steven Spielberg’s reputation as one of the seminal filmmakers of the era. It tells a gallant story of honor and duty and courage under fire. It shows you things about war that have never been seen on a motion picture screen. It makes you proud to be an American without a lot of phony, sentimental, patriotic flag-waving. And it revives my faith in the potential greatness of movies. And now, having said enough to raise eyebrows, let the controversy begin.

Some people will not want to see this powerful and electrifying film because of the violence. (These are the same people who liked Pulp Fiction .) Well, I cannot lie. Saving Private Ryan is violent. War is violent. But one of the many strengths of this phenomenal film that separates it from the usual “Bang, bang, you’re dead!” stuff is the way it not only examines the nature of violence, but redefines the whole concept. You watch the most inhuman aggressions and understand why they were necessary for self-defense. Mr. Spielberg goes beyond the war movie genre; he brings you the war itself." - Rex Reed

User Opinions: "I can't really say anything about this movie that plenty of people haven't already in the last 15 years (woah, that long?!). Excluding Lincoln--which ranks very closely for me--this is my favorite Spielberg movie since Last Crusade." - @Shawn

"Absolutely spectacular. The directing is just superb. No words to describe it. This is why Spielberg is the best of all time." - @Omario

"It's great, obviously. Has some of the best sequences Spielberg has ever directed." - @Jack Nevada

Commentary: Saving Private Ryan bullets up the list to a higher spot than it ever has before, making a vast jump from the 83rd rank it was placed at two years ago. Steven Spielberg is a brilliant director, who has never made a film (beyond maybe Hook) that wasn't even worth seeing. Saving Private Ryan is perhaps one of Spielberg's least sentimental works (in parts) and yet it still manages to be deeply moving and affecting. The film is packed with riveting action sequences, that take you dead into the heat of war in a way that few films have ever managed to rival (yet many have attempted). Saving Private Ryan made it onto 38% of the lists that were submitted and had an average score of 4.7 from those who voted for it.
