Chinatown at 112th! Damn, I should've voted.

[JarJarBinks]

Most surprised by Raging Bull and The Deer Hunter not making the top 100. Thought those two would be in there for sure.

Umm goodfellas? The Departed?

[MrPink]

Umm goodfellas? The Departed?

Goodfellas is in the low 20s. The Departed, well, it's real solid and all, but I think the omission of Raging Bull is far more glaring.
