Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 I like the 'let's stick the odd foreign film in there' approach to it though, when you know they really wanted to put The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and Legally Blonde in there. Jaffa was most upset they left this one out. The Dark Knight is the third greatest film of all time. Third! I automatically dislike superhero movies and although that was one of the few superhero movies I enjoyed, it shouldn't be anyway close to the top in my view. Nolan is the greatest living illusionist I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 28, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 I didn't know Jaffa was a Legally Blonde fan although I know he's a big Perks fan. I hope he doesn't see this list now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 You know when you were at school and you had to write a paragraph about a subject so you'd just copy a section from a textbook and arrange the words in a different order? Well, that's what they've done here with the IMDB 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members stumobir Posted May 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 What a fucking woeful list that is. How was it put together, by vote or by Empire themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted May 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2014 What a fucking woeful list that is. How was it put together, by vote or by Empire themselves? Â Readers poll, with hundreds of thousands of votes. It's pretty much just a modern film-fan's list, as much as everyone loves to shit on Empire. Most people/idiots consider themselves film buffs, but really, they like to go 'SQUEEE!' at a gif of Cumberbatch, or a fucking Transformers trailer just because it's got a robot dinosaur in it. I doubt the cross section of voters would have been wildly different elsewhere. Â People just can't be trusted not to be stupid in large numbers. The Karate Kid's not even on there. Still though "populist stuff does well in poll with a huge number of votes" shocker? Are we really expecting the same people who share the Ninja Turtles trailer on their Facebook to have seen Fitzcarraldo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted May 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 The fact that Prometheus makes the list, even at 287 makes the list redundant to me. Aliens at 19 and The Dark Knight at 3? Having a laugh mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 28, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 Prometheus was so awful. It just fucking stunk. I think Ridley Scott should just be stopped now. For a director who made Alien and Blade Runner, it is staggering how shit some of his other films have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Boycie Posted May 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 The UKFF 50 favourite films list in Off Topic Gold is better than this tripe. I think the fine people of this forum could put a much better list out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiirc Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Really can't wait for this to come through my door, what a horrid list. It's basically cinema of the last 20 years is the best thing ever, EVER and erm there were some other films made at points in time, better shove them in there, to make it fair. Makes the PWI list's look amazing  255. Transformers? Bay Version or the cartoon movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2014 So here's a fun one.. starting from number one, looking down through the numbers, what was the first one that made you roll your eyes and go "fuck off". Â LOTR was it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
