[Jack Nevada]

The list is about as bad as I expected, but I have more problems with the rankings rather than the movies

Just imagine if I had sent my list. Nolan and Pixar are pretty much all my top 15. And DH2 would have definitly entered in the top 100. That and Sixth Sense/Up.I didn't do it because my knowledge of movies before 2000 is pretty much nothing outside of a few exceptions. Edited August 29, 2012 by CJohn

Our list is really similar to the IMDB one.. BTW why is Holy Grail so well liked? IMO its the worst Monty Python movie

[Ozymandias]

Lol i didn't even know this was going on, but for what its worth, here are my top 10.1. Bladerunner2. The Matrix3. Alien4. The Departed5. Gladiator6. Heat7. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009 version).8. Terminator 29. The Shawshank Redemption10. 2001: A Space Odyssey

That sucks. You should see some classics. I have a ton of classics to watch too

The big exception being Titanic Edited August 29, 2012 by tribefan695

The big exception being Titanic

And the fact that Shawshank wasn't in the top 10

[AniNate]

Avatar's also no longer in the top 250 there but made it into the top 50 here

[cookie]

It's a public list and far from everyone here is that into classical cinema. What did people expect from this?

[Cedarpoint1111]

Well... That is an awful top 100. We need a redo. I bet more people will participate.

[CJohn]

I think we are fine for now. Wait an year or so.

[Punishment]

I have an idea for something else and I will present it to the site once the Summer Game is over. It's a bit more time consuming so I'll leave it shrouded in mystery for a while.

[baumer]

It's not a "top films" kind of thing though...something much more ambitious.

[Sims]

I'm laughing out loud at the seething anger in this thread. I love it. I'll post the point totals for some movies people have been asking about.For the record, I would be interested in doing this again, but we should probably wait a year, or at least several months.

[baumer]

Thanks so much for putting this together Sims. I'd like to extend an invitation to you to be on my committee for the next project. You did a fantastic putting this all together. If you accept, I'll get you the details next week sometime.Also, could you tell me if anyone else had films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Tombstone in their top 100?Thanks

Agreed. I'm interested in doing these things. I missed out on the Box Office Summer =/

1 year sounds right. That would tell us what movies people truly love and which ones are just fresh/easy to remember on people's minds. Edited August 29, 2012 by CJohn

Ah OK. Well either way it just struck me as a really weird, rude outburst.

It wasn't an outburst so much as a sarcastic remark to stop bitching.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74 was on five people's lists and got 210 points (#132). Tombstone was on two(?) lists and got 74 points.FWIW I love Pulp Fiction and it's in my Top 10, so its #1 was far from the most egregious offense for me.EDIT: Oops, forgot to say I'd love to be on whatever committee you're planning!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre '78 was on five people's lists and got 210 points (#132). Tombstone was on two(?) lists and got 74 points.FWIW I love Pulp Fiction and it's in my Top 10, so its #1 was far from the most egregious offense for me.

You mean TCM 74?And how about my invitation to be on the committee for the next project? Accept, decline or think it over?
