Here's mine

 

1. Se7en

2. American Beauty

3. Back To The Future 2

4. Pulp Fiction

5. Return of the Jedi

6. Airplane

7. Snatch

8. Fight Club

9. Die Hard

10. This is Spinal Tap

 

Happy to have 6 of my 10 make the list, I expected Empire Strikes Back to appear over Return of the Jedi and did consider tactically voting for that instead but decided against it. Very surprised Spinal Tap didn't make it in, same goes for many of the top comedies we discussed a few days back.

1 - Cabaret

 

Really? Not having a go, as it's a really good film, but I'd never have guessed that as your favourite film.

 

 

3 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban

 

Best of the Potters, though that's not saying much.

So I just checked my sent emails to post my top 10, only to find that I'd only done 5 and it'd saved in drafts. I'm such a lazy cunt.

 

Picking my 10 favourites of all time is hard, as Loki said it changes all the time. Mine would be something along these lines though:

 

Best

1) Goodfellas

2) Back To The Future

3) Pulp Fiction

4) The Departed

5) The Godfather Part II

6) Fight Club

7) Taxi Driver

8) Wayne's World

9) Rocky III

10) Man On The Moon/Inglourious Basterds (take your pick)

 

Worst

1) Avatar - Most overrated film I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

2) Transformers 2 - Shockingly bad film. All my mates love it and I actually judge them for it.

3) 300 - omg epic!!

1. Die Hard

2. Commando

3. Goodfellas

4. Die Hard 4.0

5. Terminator 2

6. Pulp Fiction

7. Street Fighter

8. Robocop

9. Hostage

10. Masters Of The Universe

 

I'm glad about half my list made it in. It'd probably be different if I done it again now. There was a few occasions during the list I had a "fuck! How could I forget that" moment.

 

Great thread.

Awesome thread. Will have a look at other people's lists and comment on your shitty taste later to stop this becoming listomania.

Temple of Doom!? Controversial.

 

 

I love all three, but this one has always been my favourite.

 

Same here. Until Crystal Skull came along, everyone was so quick to talk shit about Temple of Doom for various reasons, which were all wrong*. It's amazing though, and among other things, it has the most exciting opening fifteen minutes in cinema history. I love that movie so much.

 

*like when everyone whined about the wacky elements of Crystal Skull. "Aliens?! So unrealistic. This franchise is ruined!" Yeah, that whole half-hour section of Raiders that centered around a spying Nazi monkey was well realistic. The saluting, the evil, cackling monkey-handler with an eye-patch; VERITE! The reasons Crystal Skull stank was nothing to do with the mystical stuff.
