Yeah, I don't think posting mine will ruin anything. It's not like Charlie's Angels (or most of my other choices) is going to make the list.

We were all thinking that HK, but we didn't want to say anything.

Just one of the reasons I wasn't going to bother sending one in.

That was that. 41 members sent in their list. More to follow later, including pre-countdown poll threads.

I have this feeling that Mulholland Drive is gonna win. By a lot.

I hope not.

Nah. I would say a LOTR movie, but the three choices might cancel each other out. Mulholland Dr will be up there but I have a horrible feeling The Dark Knight is gonna win it.

I reckon one of the Resident Evil movies will take it.

Or Terminator 3.

Are you smoking ****?

It's a dead heat between Matrix Revolutions, Transformers 2 and 3, Battfield Earth, Gigli and Catwoman.

Deciding in which order to place them in my top 6 was probably the hardest task that I have undertaken in my 28 years.

If I was able to PM this'd be my top 25.

1) Dancer in the Dark
2) Moulin Rouge!
3) Margaret
4) Martha Marcy May Marlene
5) In the Mood for Love
6) Yi Yi
7) Mullohand Dr
8) Lost in Translation
9) Mary & Max
10) There Will Be Blood
11) Y tu mamá también
12) A.I.
13) Dogville
14) Mean Girls
15) Children of Men
16) Ghost World
17) Finding Nemo
18) Gosford Park
19) In The Bedroom
20) Shaun of the Dead
21) School of Rock
22) Sky High
23) L.I.E.
24) Battle Royale
25) Looking for Alibrandi

We are all growing impatient. Wait a minute it's just me.

If we are talking about the 10 most accomplished films that seek to expand the medium instead of using it then I can most objectively pen it down to:

Cache Michael Hanake 2005
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Michel Gondry, 2004
Millennium Actress Satoshi Kon, 2001
Mulholland Drive David Lynch, 2001
On The Occasion of Remembering The Turning Gate Hong Sang Soo, 2002
Russian Ark Aleksandr Sokurov, 2002
Synecdoche, New York Charlie Kaufman, 2008
Werckmeister Harmonies Bela Tarr, 2000
Yi Yi Edward Yang, 2000
You, The Living Roy Anderson, 2007

But of course its also about my favourites and while a couple of the above films did not make the list, others like Save The Green Planet, Black Dynamite, Red Cliff, Pan's Labyrinth, Inglorious Basterds, Kung Fu Hustle and Tucker & Dale VS Evil were eventually included because they left such a big impression on me.

One movie that I regretted not including into the final list was Max Manus, and that was only because I watched it after submitting the list.

So... here's the final list if anybody's curious:

1. Mulholland Drive
2. Spirited Away
3. Talk To Her
4. Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring
5. Werckmeister Harmonies
6. Synecdoche, New York
7. Inglorious Basterds
8. Memories Of Murder
9. Pan's Labyrinth
10. The Skin I Live In
11. Save The Green Planet
12. Red Cliff
13. Gladiator
14. City Of God
15. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring
16. Downfall
17. Kung Fu Hustle
18. Goodbye Dragon Inn
19. Eternal Sunshine On The Spotless Mind
20. Dancer In The Dark
21. Wall-E
22. Yi Yi
23. Cache
24. Black Dynamite
25. Tucker & Dale Vs Evil

There's a few that I forgot, like Gladiator, Downfall and The Proposition that deserved to make the list.

The Proposition made my list. I left off Winter's Bone and Monsters and I'm kind of regretting that.

I can't wait to see Million Dollar Baby make the list. Then we will get to hear people say how terrible it is again

You only have to ask. I'm more than happy to tell you how crap that is.

Mystic River is a great movie, but Million Dollar Baby....not so much.

I saw Inland Empire a few days ago and now I'm kicking myself for not including it. Would've made my top five.
