Where is your list? I just went through 20 pages of your posts and didn't find it... :confused:

Very strong start! You know it's going to be an interesting list when you start with The Matrix, A Nightmare On Elm Street and The Lost Boys. Very curious to see what else makes the cut. I think Mark F has King Kong on his list too. I dunno, it's not a bad film at all and has some great visuals, but I just don't dig it that much, baby. I think it's the running time too that puts me off. A film with such a simple premise just doesn't need to be streched out to 3 hrs. Again a good start.

[LuDiNaToR]

thanks for all the feed back guys.

[rauldc14]

i enjoy a lot of film on your top 10 list, so I am intrigued to see the rest of the list. I haven't seen any of the aforementioned films, strangely enough. (I'm sure I've seen Rocky but not enough memory of it to comment on it).

[genesis_pig]

Batman Returns will always be my all time favourite Batman movie, no doubt Dark Knight was awesome, but there's something about BR that just can't be topped.

The characters are so surreal and dark, Gotham city never looked so beautiful.
Keaton's portrayal of Bruce Wayne's loneliness was just perfect, he might not have had the look of a Batman, but he surely did act like one.

Not faithful to the comics, yet a brilliant portrayal.

[LuDiNaToR]

yeah out of the old batmans its my fav, really dark movie.

[LuDiNaToR]

[genesis_pig]

Not a big fan of Rogen, but Knocked Up was a decent film. Yet to see Seven Pounds.

But the rest are Yaayy!!!! ;)

This board isn't pretentious enough, so I'll be the first one to say that Armageddon is probably one of the worst films of ever. I'll also place Dumb and Dumber and Batman Returns in that category. Other than that the list is O.K.

Armegeddon alot of people dont like but i like bruce willis and theres something about this film i like, plus its my list so ;)

[journeyowns]

I don't think there is a movie on this planet I loathe more than Seven Pounds, but several of your other picks are ones that I really love, like Die Hard, Rocky, Home Alone, Braveheart, Knocked Up.

Does that mean you think this place should be more pretentious? Or just that we're 'polite' enough not to bag him out for making his personal top 100 personal?

Also, that you can rag on Batman Returns and say the others are ok, when he's got 300, Seven Pounds and Home Alone 2 on here is remarkable.

[genesis_pig]

I'd like to see Planetnews top 100.

But i think Luinator's list is damn honest, he has movies which I am sure he would enjoy watching over & over again. & most of us would too.

The only 2 films I don't care much about here are Bad Boys 2 & Knocked Up.. but they were still fun and not bad at all.. I must have seen Bad Boys atleast twice.

I am just eager to see his top 20.

& Planetnews come over to my top 100..

Man on Fire and Inside Man are great movies!!! And honeykid, how can you knock Seven Pounds? To each his own I guess.

[LuDiNaToR]

[Cries&Whispers]

I love your list so far. You've got a lot of mainstream action flicks and some great comedies in there. + rep for Monsters, Inc. and WALL-E two of my favorite Pixar films, and for Ransom, Inside Man, and Con-Air, the most badass movie ever. Just about the only ones I can't figure out why they made the list are Seven Pounds, Home Alone 2, and Armageddon.

home alone 2 i love just watching around christmas its like a feel good movie, seven pounds i like because its good to see Will smith doing something different, plus realy sad film haha. And armageddon i dunno i just like that movie.

[Cries&Whispers]

I'm working on my Top 100 right now, and I admit, I included a few that just made me feel good. But again, overall I really like your list, especially now that you've added Se7en!!

[genesis_pig]

Ransom was a nice film... I also love the entire Lethal Weapon series.
Martin Briggs is such a bad ass character.

I always get confused when I sometimes start thinking "Martin Briggs Vs John McClane" -they are both such cool characters, I don't think I could choose easily.

[LuDiNaToR]

thanks guys i know theres a few odd choices but there just movies i enjoy.

DodgeBall was a very silly movie and I liked it.

Didn't really like the story in the Bourne Identity, but you can't do wrong with Matt damon being on the screen for that period of time. :)

[genesis_pig]

There was a story in Bourne Identity??
I just loved the action, Damon made everything look so damn cool.

[Classicqueen13]

I didn't really like Identity when I watched it either. It kinda bored me even, but as I got to know the character better, I got to like the series better. My dad says he thinks they get better when you watch them again and understand them more easily. Not to mention he read the books. For my dad to give something he remembers a rewatch though, it has to be pretty good.

Out of all of the Bourne Series I did enjoy Identity the most, but it still did disappoint which made it harder to even want to watch the others.

[genesis_pig]

I never kept any expectation from any of the Bourne movies.
I was just eager to see how Bourne kicks their ass.

I have a feeling the upcoming Bourne movie will be terrible.
Green Zone was a far better film.

Jason Bourne has many ways to kick ass and I agree that was the most enjoyable part of the movie.

[planet news]

American Psycho is the only film on this whole page that I consider as singular. What a masterful film.

I haven't even seen Rocky II, but if it's anything like Rocky ...

I don't get why people love the Bourne films so much either. Just a lot of really messy editing, ugly compositions, and overblown shaky-cam to the point of "wtf is going on in the frame".

[genesis_pig]

Isn't Se7en a masterpiece?
What about Die Hard, Lethal Weapon??

Not even JAWS?? I think Jaws is one of the best films ever made.

No love for The Prestige?

How about Tears of the Sun?? Toy Story, As Good As It Gets??

Se7en is the only one you listed that is on this page (which is what planet news mentioned above), but I would agree that it is an awesome film. I also really love Casino.

Ludinator, I am curious why you have Casino ranked as a better film than Goodfellas? I love both, but I rank Goodfellas higher for sure. Just curious...

[genesis_pig]

On this page, then cool.

I haven't seen Casino yet, I am not that eager to watch it either.
Doesn't seem like something that would interest me.

TBF, PN did specify on this page. Now, whether he likes those films you mentioned, is another thing, but they're not on this page.

[Juno MacGuff]

66. Theres Something About Mary (1998) starring Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, and Ben Stiller.

http://blog.dvdideas.com/images/cameron_diaz_something_about_mary.jpg


This movie and this scene has to be one of the funniest scenes in movie history. I love this movie.

Thanks for bringing it up again.. But I have already been reminded me of my error by Fiscal & I also replied to it.

[rauldc14]

Out of Time was definitely on the fringe of making my top 100. I need to see that movie again to think about what I like about the movie. Like the choice of Iron Man especially. We have a lot of our top 100 in common.

[genesis_pig]

Raul, Have you seen Mighty Quinn?

I saw it long back & remember liking it.

[LuDiNaToR]

to a reply before i like casino alot better than goodfellas, i just think its alot better.

I haven't seen Casino, but I guess I should since it's comparable to Goodfellas apparently?

You might like it, considering you are a big Denzel fan.

[LuDiNaToR]

well thats it only 20 left haha hard to pick now.

[rauldc14]

Could be a possibility. I actually just saw Glory for the first time about two weeks ago, and it was a great performance from Washington. The movie itself was pretty good too.

[genesis_pig]

Yes Glory is great, saw it long back. Need to watch it again.

[honeykid]

I haven't seen Casino, but I guess I should since it's comparable to Goodfellas apparently?

Well, they're both part of Scorsese's Gangster Trilogy (why does every ****ing thing have to be a trilogy?)and De Niro and Pesci play prominent characters in both. But, if someone's telling you that Casino comes close to Goodfellas as a film, they might need to have their sanity card rebuked. Casino's good, but Goodfellas is great.

[The Prestige]

Great list, dude. A lot of what you have on there are on mine. The Bourne Identity and Ultimatum are terrific action thrillers. Kinetic camera work isn't for everyone, but I think it really gives the film a great sense of style and emergency, making the action more thrilling. Plus Damon is surprisingly believeable as a hardcore ex assassin. There may not be any deep themes or whatever but both films are never boring and full of inspiring action sequences. Sometimes pure action can tell the story.

Casino is great, but I agree that if I had to pick then Goodfellas is the better film. But not by a great deal. I think Casino suffers from the sense of deja vu due to the main cast and it's director and subject matter. But it's still wonderfully executed with some great editing and powerhouse performances, specially from Sharon Stone. I'm never too surprised to see ahead of Goodfellas on some peoples lists.

[rauldc14]

I really, really tried to like We Own the Night, but it just didn't do anything for me.

Completely agree! Casino is way higher than Goodfellas on this list, I was wondering why.

[planet news]

I like how biased we all are, including me. I've seen Goodfellas on so many top-whatever lists, I sort of already wanted to express outrage without even seeing Casino. On the chance that I actually end up liking Casino better, I'll probably be too embarrassed to admit it.

[LuDiNaToR]

I think goodfellas is a great movie, its just i cnt stand Ray Liotta so it puts abit of a downer on the film for me.

Holy **** the list is almost over... I was wondering why Pulp Fiction was so high on the list. I haven't seen True Romance, American Gangster, Public Enemies, or The Hangover (<- in its entirety because the beginning was so inane). The rest are pretty good with me except for Point Break and Batman Begins. I never did like Gladiator either for some reason. Just totally uninteresting to me.

[LuDiNaToR]

well there finaly done ha.

[rauldc14]

It is weird because I find myself liking a lot of films on your list. The weird thing is that I don't like Fight Club and Pulp Fiction that much, so normally people that have those movies on their lists don't have movies like The Departed, Hangover, and Gladiator on theirs.

why dont they lol

[planet news]

I need to watch Fight Club again; it's been a while, but the film struck me as unremarkable when compared to the hype.

The scene where Norton first beats himself up (subjectively) in his boss's office is one of the best scenes ever. It's an amazing metaphor for counteracting authority by first destroying oneself.

[rauldc14]

Heat, American Gangster, Signs, The Dark Knight, and Silence of the Lambs are all in my top 50 as well.

[LuDiNaToR]

i love heat it was close with that and fight club

[LuDiNaToR]

Went to see inception last night i think that would deffo make my list.

[downthesun]

Glad to see you and me share the same number 1, a lot of your other movies would easily make my top 100 too, TDK, The Hangover, True Romance, The Departed, Pulp Fiction, AHX etc

[honeykid]

Congrats on finishing your list, LuD. One favour, though? Please give it a year before you add Inception to your list. Then, watch it again, and see what you think.

[LuDiNaToR]

wow been looking over my list, this list sucks lol. Its feels like years ago since i made this, its all over the place there's like 50 movies i would take out of this now haha.
