The 50 by seanc

[seanc]

My top 50 films. I know this list is pretty mainstream, really have just began to branch out into the independent and foreign world the last year or two. These are all films I have viewed at least 3 times, and hold up for me on both an artistic and emotional level.

50) The Little Mermaid

Some great movies and some forgotten gems in there. Real nice variety and looking forward to see the rest!

[HitchFan97]

I've always had a soft spot for Anchorman, and Rear Window of course is brilliant.

30) Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
(I know some will consider this cheating, but if the director shot all the films as one story and it was meant to be experienced as such I disagree.)

[Guaporense]

Yep, The Lord of the Rings is a single 9 hour movie and should be treated as such.

My favorites from your list yet:

Rear Window
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings
Back to the Future

[cricket]

Seen 5 from your last set: I enjoyed The Matrix, and love Silence of the Lambs, Color of Money, Back to the Future, and Wizard of Oz.

[The Rodent]

That's a good 50-11 matey... only one or two I don't like myself (namely the Bond films and The Social Network) but the rest are top choices.

[cricket]

From the last 2 sets I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, It's a Wonderful Life, A Few Good Men, Cuckoo's Nest, Forrest Gump, and Dog Day Afternoon. I really like Jerry Maguire, The Jerk, A Christmas Story, The Social Network, and Star Wars. I wasn't crazy about Magnolia but want to try it again. I haven't seen the rest.

[donniedarko]

Rear Window, Million Dollar Baby, and Silence of The Lambs are the ones that stood out for me. There are plenty of othe good films but those three are the masterpieces of the list.

[JayDee]

Nice list so far mate. Lots of films that are also favourites of mine - Anchorman, Karate Kid, Lion King, Matrix, Aladdin, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Dances With Wolves, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Toy Story, Forrest Gump, Star Wars, Jerry Maguire, Remember the Titans are all films and love.

Great top 10; I've seen all of them and the only one I'm not crazy about is #10.

[The Rodent]

Strong Top 10 matey, very strong Top 10.

I doubt anyone would disagree with that. Plus Rep++ !!

[seanc]

Thanks for the input everyone, had fun putting it together. Wish I would have found this website a long time ago. Cool to have a place to go everyday where thoughtful conversation about movies happens.

[Godoggo]

Just catching up on your list. There is at least one movie from every set that I absolutely love. Great to see Lonesome Dove on your list. I rented that from the library on a whim and ended up having a fantastic Sunday watching the whole mini-series.

Some other highlights for me, The Little Mermaid, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Lion King, Magnolia..Lots of good stuff here.
