Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

And here's the excel file for anyone that wants it. Keep in mind that the Master List row numbers don't match with the actual ranking because of the used lines at the top. Also, the Master List isn't in what would be considered an official rank because if the point totals are even it reverts to alphabetical instead of total number of lists and then highest ranking, but it's close enough for those films that came in 101-last place. The Top 100 sheet is proper in ranking.

I think that people voted for Goodfellas and didn't care about voting for Pulp Fiction because it's "overrated". In the end Pulp Fiction was beaten and the underdog won.

Like I said earlier, Pulp Fiction was on more lists than Goodfellas.

That would be me! That and Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Fear and Loathing in MoFo... The Gunslinger 45's Top 50 Favorite Films

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

I see.

OH HELL YES! Goodfellas number 1! My number 4 movie! Very pleasantly surprised!

Pulp Fiction (MY LIST: 19) was a fine, fun, imaginative showcase for a once exciting talent. Like Tarantino's debut, it felt fresh, and this time came loaded with colourful, memorable performances.

I liked Pulp Fiction more though.

Here is my list

1. Clerks
2. The Hunt for Red October
3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
4. Goodfellas
5. The Boondock Saints
6. Blade
7. Cape Fear
8. Tremors
9. Silence of the Lambs
10. Chasing Amy
11. Schindler’s List
12. Jurassic Park
13. The Matrix
14. Desperado
15. Unforgiven
16. Men in Black
17. Patriot Games
18. Shawshank Redemption
19. Braveheart
20. Last of the Mohicans
21. Army of Darkness
22. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
23. Se7en
24. Die Hard with a Vengeance
25. The Big Lebowski

Going over the data it seems I was the only guy to vote for Austin Powers, Patriot Games, Men in Black, Blade, and The Hunt for Red October. And one of three for Last of the Mohicans.
