The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

[weeman]

Nicolas Cage + 1990's = Fantastic Film :)

[Harry Lime]

I'm thinking of posting a link to the excel worksheet once we're done so you all can go over the specifics of those that made the top 100 and those that didn't. If anyone wants it that is.

I'd like to see that.

[rauldc14]

Nicolas Cage + 1990's = Fantastic Film :)

Yes Nic Cage was good in the 90s. The film is called Leaving Las Vegas though.

[rauldc14]

There are people asking you the same question for Shawshank, so..

There was more answers than questions. Shawshank stands pretty tall right about now.

The untampered with version, of course.

[honeykid]

He's not kidding when he says "the" film, either. That's it. Just the one.

[mark f]

It's just as bad as Wild at Heart.

[stevo3001]

And to the people who gave points to Wild at Heart: why???

For me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.

[rauldc14]

It's just as bad as Wild at Heart.

Nah, llv is respectable. At least it has a purpose to the film.

[Sexy Celebrity]

For me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.

Even though we don't have any free will. Which means that no matter how much of a Chinese tragedy this list has been, it was meant to be.

[mark f]

So Nic Cage had no choice but to say that dialogue.

[Sexy Celebrity]

That's right. Nic Cage had no choice but to be who he is. He'll have no choice but to pick the future movies and roles he's gonna do. He is an accident of nature and a good one at that!

[Sexy Celebrity]

I say #3 is Goodfellas.

Pulp Fiction and Fight Club are first and second place.

[The Rodent]

Se7en... I had it in 5th on my list... makes 16 from my list now :D

Great film.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Rodent, where have you been? In another Young Guns coma?

[The Rodent]

Had a Database Error

[The Rodent]

Had a Database Error

[Gabrielle947]

Se7en is too depressing. And cheap. Once you've seen it, you don't really need to keep going back to it.
On the contrary,I'd say it's a rewatchable film.

[Cobpyth]

So... it's gritty? :p

I mean, if Fincher didn't want it to be gritty, why did he make it so gritty?

I can completely understand your reasoning behind your second point, but imo I think that the neatness defeats the point. The film is ultimately a "who-dunnit" and then a "why-dunnit", but the complete change in tone after John Doe comes into the film threw me off, and I just thought it didn't hold up well enough to the rest of the film.

I don't think I really get your criticism. Se7en is not particularly a gritty film and never really tries to be, in my opinion. It's filmed in a very stylish way and the cinematography gives it a warm, yet very dark look.
Fincher's Fight Club is way more "gritty" than this film, for instance. At least, that's how I see it.

SPOILERS!

I personally thought the ending was quite brilliant. It goes against the formulaic detective genre. Suddenly the villain takes control, despite the fact that he's seemingly unable to do anything anymore, because he gave himself up.
It worked very well for me.

This is over. Not that it ever really began.

Goodfellas VS Pulp Fiction, who will win?

Answer: Independence Day

[Sexy Celebrity]

I want to have a Planet News temper tantrum over how much I despise Goodfellas.

[Harry Lime]

Kind of like your perpetual temper tantrum these last 240 pages?

[weeman]

I've got something planned for the end of this list, you might like it Sexy.

If it's something SC will like then I'll just stop right now so the countdown never ends.

I'm not promising anything :p

Also, you changed your avatar to Doc Ock half way through me watching Spider-Man 2 :suspicious:

This reminds me of the Bio-Dome days. Good times.

[cricket]

Between the actors and director, there's some great talent in Fight Club, and it shows. But I really can't F'N stand this movie, or the naive, dumbass college kid types who worship it. And I don't mean everyone who likes the movie is a jackass, because everyone has their own taste. I mean the type of person who would hold up traffic to do a protest or get a tattoo to express themselves-these are the kind of dolts that get under my skin. People like that seem to really love this movie. I don't see anything cool or clever about it.

[Miss Vicky]

Happy to see my #2 movie make it so high. Still pissed about Lebowski's placement though.

[Sane]

Had Reservoir Dogs at 23, The Big Lebowski at 21, Shawshank Redemption at 8, Seven at 11 and Fight Club at 18.

To save time had Goodfellas at 6 and Pulp Fiction at 1.

[The Gunslinger45]

Straightest gay movie ever. Or is it vice versa IDK... Either way a good movie.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Straightest gay movie ever. Or is it vice versa IDK... Either way a good movie.

I met someone once who said Fight Club was what made him realize he was gay.

[honeykid]

I really liked Fight Club, but I don't think I've ever loved it.

I'd love Goodfellas to take the top spot, but I'm sure it won't. I expected it at #2, so #1 would be a surprise.

Hey, SC. Maybe we should do a commentary on Goodfellas? :D

[Cobpyth]

Fight Club is great! It was pretty high on my list.

Let's hope Goodfellas wins this, but I expect it to become second, as Pulp Fiction has way too many fanboys here, including me. I still want Goodfellas to win, though. It's by far the best film of the '90s.

[The Gunslinger45]

I met someone once who said Fight Club was what made him realize he was gay.

Cool. Was it the sight of a shirtless Brad Pitt?

[cricket]

Cool. Was it the sight of a shirtless Brad Pitt?

It was Meatloaf's breasts.

[donniedarko]

Fight Club was #17 on my list. Surprised I ranked it that high, since while I loved on initial viewing, anytime I think of it I look at with less love. I have to watch it again sometime

[Cobpyth]

Fight Club was #17 on my list. Surprised I ranked it that high, since while I loved on initial viewing, anytime I think of it I look at with less love. I have to watch it again sometime

It's funnier when you rewatch it, as you grab the ridiculousness of the whole concept. The brilliant ridiculousness.

[teeter_g]

Had that one at #2. :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

Hey, SC. Maybe we should do a commentary on Goodfellas? :D

Sure. Go get my copy out of the landfill.

[HandyApe]

I've only seen Fight Club one (a few years ago), so I'd need to watch it again before I rate it. But I didn't like it that much.

Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction, the final two, are great films though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I hope Goodfellas is #1. It's a fitting ending to this list.

[Pussy Galore]

Fight Club was my #3 I obviously love this movie.

[BlueLion]

Straightest gay movie ever. Or is it vice versa IDK... Either way a good movie.

Lmao.. what's gay about Fight Club?

[The Gunslinger45]

Lmao.. what's gay about Fight Club?

Well the movie was based off a book written by Chuck Palahniuk, an openly gay man. Ed Norton's character is shown to be a sexually ambiguous man. He is troubled, but coops by blending into communities where he does not belong. Until Helena Bonham Carter's character comes along. She calls him out as a fraud, and only after this does Tyler appear. Tyler and Norton are the same person as we know, and Tyler says he is the personification of everything Ed Norton wishes he could be. Tyler is also VERY straight and it is he who sleeps with Carter's character and not Norton. Tyler and Norton are at odds with each other quite a bit, particularly towards the end. And since they are the same person, that means Ed Norton is fighting his own desires. He makes a comment early on where he dislikes people who spend all their time at the gym, but his idealized self is a ripped Brad Pitt. This leads to lots of self destructive behavior, and ends when Norton "kills" Tyler finally accepting who he is.

So one interpretation of Fight Club is that it is a story of a closeted gay man, in conflict with the part of himself that desperately wants to be straight.

Of course that is one interpretation. One of many. It is does not prove or disprove other interpretations. But it does make the movie a lot more interesting to me.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I never knew Chuck Palahniuk was gay. That changes everything.

I've never thought of it like that. That's interesting. BUT what does that mean about Marla? Why does he hold hands with her at the end of the movie? Does it mean he is accepting his own homosexuality and she, as a woman (woman = femininity = gayness) symbolizes that? Hence, he has become one with being gay?

To me, it's just always looked like a gay fantasy. Living in a rundown house with the hottest man in the world (Tyler). Fleeing society, not accepting the normal way of living. Tyler is the man every gay man wants for himself. Yet, another thing I see with many gay men -- gay men, I feel, are often searching for masculinity and a strong male figure. And hence a strong male identity for themselves. Gay men like what they want to be. Thus, it's also about finding your manhood and is why straight men can identify with it -- if you don't look for any gay subtext, it's a story about a man who is a lousy man, who can't be A REAL MAN to a woman, like with Marla, and in the end, he finally becomes a real man by doing the better thing and letting go of the childish, juvenile, id-driven Tyler Durden man inside him, who's been corrupting him and making him stupid and self centered. Marla just wants to be his woman and she follows him everywhere trying to land him, but he won't give up his childish demon. You could also interpret the movie as being the total opposite of accepting homosexuality and actually see it as accepting heterosexuality. Tyler Durden can also be seen as a gay figure that corrupts The Narrator's life.

Think of it as a platonic hand hold. At the end of Speed we got Keanu and Sandra Bullock making out on rubble. End of True Lies, Arnie and Jamie Lee are kissing with a nuke going off in the distance. Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom? Indy kisses the girl. Fight Club? Holding hands.

[The Gunslinger45]

Either way, this is just one interpretation. That is what makes movies great, each movie means something different to a different person. Nobody is right or wrong, it is all subjective.

[HitchFan97]

And let's have a round of applause, for the most overrated movie of the 90s. At least the top two are both great, great movies.

[Sexy Celebrity]

If it's a platonic hand hold, then it's interesting that the world blows up in front of their eyes. That's quite a statement about being gay, then. It's like it's saying, "If people turn gay, the world's gonna fall apart."

It also puts a new spin on that penis reappearing just before the end credits start.

Or his world has come crashing down at the new realization. Nothing remains the same.

As for the penis. Subliminally trying to spread the love of penis. lol

[Miss Vicky]

trying to spread the love of penis. lol

I can get behind that.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't think it's just a gay movie, but it is interesting that Palahniuk is gay. I always thought he was straight and married for some reason. I'll need to reread the book.

[The Gunslinger45]

It is not JUST a gay movie, but the subtext is there, and it was that subtext that propelled this from being a very meh overrated movie, to pretty damn interesting. At least for me.

[rauldc14]

We already know Pulp is number one. Lets move onto the 80s!!,!

Can people please tell me why they voted Eyes wide shut so high? Just curious more than not agreeing as I just saw it for first time.

[Guaporense]

All right. So we will see whether Independence Day or The Phantom Menace will be the number 1 films of the 1990's!!!!!!!!

[Guaporense]

Can people please tell me why they voted Eyes wide shut so high? Just curious more than not agreeing as I just saw it for first time.

Well, it's a film that works more on your unconscious level. I remember not been able to sleep properly the night I watched it due to it's severe disturbing effects on me. It's a very strong and extremely well executed film and a very creative and interesting one as well. True the work of a genius.

I prefer Se7en to Fight Club, but it's nice to see the top films so close with the points.

[Harry Lime]

I prefer Se7en to Fight Club, but it's nice to see the top films so close with the points.
Fight Club has a 55 point lead over Seven so it's not that close. However, #4-8 were all within 10 points of each other. Now these last two films are a whole different story, but we'll get to that tomorrow.

[Thursday Next]

I’m not really sure where all the Fight Club backlash has come from. I think some people’s problem with Fight Club is simply its popularity – in breaking the imdb top 10 it lost its cult cred, or something.

Or is it that people feel that people like it for the 'wrong' reasons, like Scarface?

Anyway, Fight Club was #7 on my top 25. I think it's great.

It’s a good adaptation of a good book. It’s smart, it’s funny, it looks great and has one of the best ending scenes I’ve seen, complete with Pixies music. It may, along with The Sixth Sense, have been partially responsible for the rise of ‘twist’ movies in the early 2000s, but unlike many of the imitators, it doesn’t rely on the twist. It’s still a good movie even if you know exactly what to expect.

Ed Norton is great as the insomniac protagonist, Helena Bonham Carter gives a performance that isn’t just the ‘crazy hair, crazy costume, crazy eyes’ of the last decade, and Brad Pitt embodies a particularly memorable screen character in Tyler Durden. Looks great, sounds great, entertaining and thought provoking.

A stylish and cutting satire with an apocalyptic, fin de siècle vibe to it, definitely one of the best movies of the 90s.

[BlueLion]

So one interpretation of Fight Club is that it is a story of a closeted gay man, in conflict with the part of himself that desperately wants to be straight.

Of course that is one interpretation. One of many. It is does not prove or disprove other interpretations. But it does make the movie a lot more interesting to me.

That interpretation sounds absurd to me. I don't think there's a single scene in Fight Club that implies homosexuality. I always saw it as a movie about a depressed, lonely character who suffers from mental illness and feels alienated from the world. That's what the movie is about. This interpretation sounds a lot more logical, and to me the movie will always make perfect sense that way.

Never said your interpretation is wrong. Just that it is one of many. More then a few critics interpret some homo erotic subtext from that has carried over from the book. :D

Kind of what makes film great. Every movie is different to every person.

[The Rodent]

The interpretation and meaning of the relationship between Tyler and the Narrator... is explained by Brad Pitt at the end.



The Narrator is a depressed and held back character, bound by the rules of society and commercialism, law and morality... and deep down in his subconscious, he hates it.

Tyler is the opposite of Norton. Subconsciously Pitt is everything the Narrator wants to be. The Narrator's mind breaks and splits into two parts... his real self, and the side of his character that his real self didn't have the guts to be.

What's more interesting, is that Norton is never referred to by an actual name, the closest is when people call him "Sir"... yet it still comes as a shock when he suddenly gets referred to as Tyler Durden by Marla.


The interpretation for me was discovering who the Narrator actually is. Is his name actually Tyler and his real personality really is Pitt, that had been hidden away in the subconscious.
This would mean the "real Tyler" was unleashed, had a few months in the open so the Norton Tyler could get his life together?
Or is it exactly as Pitt says... he simply just is all the things the Narrator wants to be but didn't have the guts to do those things so basically broke down and fabricated a character called Tyler Durden so he could be what he wanted to be? And we just never get to know the Narrator's name.

Or a mix of the two.

I tend to go with Pitt's description. Psychologically, the Narrator was in a bad place and even started attending cancer groups etc.

It's an open ended film really. It's left for the viewer to decide, which is why the film is as good as it is... it plays with the viewer and everyone can take something different away from it.

You shouldn't expect to agree with everybody on an internet forum. People have different opinions. Get used to it.

[The Gunslinger45]

You shouldn't expect to agree with everybody on an internet forum. People have different opinions. Get used to it.

Pot... this is the kettle. :D

[wintertriangles]

You shouldn't expect to agree with everybody on an internet forum. People have different opinions. Get used to it.Yeah..that wasn't the point. You were stating your opinion as the only truth. Not really an option in this case, get used to it.

[BlueLion]

Yeah..that wasn't the point. You were stating your opinion as the only truth. Not really an option in this case, get used to it.

It is the only truth according to BlueLion, because it was BlueLion who posted it. Again, this is what forums are about.

Welcome to the internet.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

Yeah, you shouldn't have to end every post with "in my opinion." Just because somebody says their opinion as a statement, it doesn't mean they think it's a fact.

[wintertriangles]

It is the only truth according to BlueLion, because it was BlueLion who posted it. Again, this is what forums are about.

Welcome to the internet.Woo let's just stay close-minded about other views on art because it's teh internets. Who needs progress anyway, that's gay, or something.


Yeah, you shouldn't have to end every post with "in my opinion." Just because somebody says their opinion as a statement, it doesn't mean they think it's a fact.
It's a little different when you say "THIS IS THIS GOT IT?"

[Guaporense]

Yeah..that wasn't the point. You were stating your opinion as the only truth. Not really an option in this case, get used to it.

In terms of art it should be given that the individual's subjective perception of the work of art should be his objective opinion about the value of such a work of art. So it's a given that when talking about films individuals should talk in absolutes about their subjective opinion about movies: when I said that movie X is better than movie Y that means that the film X's effect on me was greater/more positive than Y's. That's all there is, I may try to rationalize why the film X had such strong effect on me relative to Y but another person rarely fully shares the exact same relative feelings about the pair of films.

[weeman]

Woo let's just stay close-minded about other views on art because it's teh internets. Who needs progress anyway, that's gay, or something.


It's a little different when you say "THIS IS THIS GOT IT?"

Calm down pal :rolleyes:

[wintertriangles]

Calm down pal :rolleyes::rolleyes: My blood pressure is at an all time low, I'd consider that calm. I'm just pointing out fallacies. It's like if I were to say "Durden is gay, just accept it, your other views are ridiculous because I have presupposed thoughts." People would tell me I was being silly (I hope).

[The Rodent]

Yep... he's/they're definitely gay... that's why he/they slept with Marla.

[Daniel M]

Fight Club is a very good film. But too many people love it for the wrong reasons, it works as a character study, satire, dark comedy etc. and has a very intelligent script, but most people just love the violence and such. It seems a bit different with people on the forum, but it's score on IMDB frustrates me.

3.5+ maybe.

I hope Pulp Fiction wins. I don't get people wanting it to lose just because it's too popular or talked about, strange people, or the love for it is too much, it's the coolest and probably the best film of the 90s for me.

Fight Club is a very good film. But too many people love it for the wrong reasons, it works as a character study, satire, dark comedy etc. and has a very intelligent script, but most people just love the violence and such. It seems a bit different with people on the forum, but it's score on IMDB frustrates me.

3.5+ maybe.

I hope Pulp Fiction wins. I don't get people wanting it to lose just because it's too popular or talked about, strange people, or the love for it is too much, it's the coolest and probably the best film of the 90s for me.

I thought your best film of the 90's was Boogie Nights :p

[Daniel M]

Boogie Nights and Pulp Fiction are my joint favourites/best ;)

You just stated indirectly that you don't get yourself, Daniel. :p

[Daniel M]

Possibly, but I think the films are on different levels. Fight Club I agree is very good, just not this good, I didn't want it not to come this high because of how popular, but because I don't agree that it's this good. :p

[Miss Vicky]

Fight Club is one position lower than it should be.
And who gives a **** why people love a great movie, as long as they find a reason to love it?

Yep... he's/they're definitely gay... that's why he/they slept with Marla.

She was the beard! ;)

You're just upset that it's my fault the greatest political commentary of all time, The Big Lebowski, is lower than it should be.

Is there even a remote possibility of Pulp Fiction not winning this thing?

I hope you all realise I was joking :p

[Miss Vicky]

You're just upset that it's my fault the greatest political commentary of all time, The Big Lebowski, is lower than it should be.

I am upset about that. BTW, if you'd even put it one place higher than you did, Lebowski would've been #5. When two movies tie in points, the one with the most votes gets the higher position.

But since Fight Club was number 2 on my list, I still think it's one place lower than it should have been, even if Lebowski had made number 1.

There's a clear difference between your earlier comment and Daniel's. ;)

Fight Club is overflowing with ideas. Many, maybe most, of them are stupid. The philosophy is retarded and obnoxious. But take away all of the nonsense and there's still a whole lot of interesting stuff here. I was talking about this movie for weeks after seeing it, and am still reminded of it often. So it really stuck with me, and I value that, no matter how annoying it is. It's also very well executed- for example, the twist is much more pivotal and much better done than that in the Sixth Sense. Not too far away from my list.

[Daniel M]

The Dude quoted HW Bush. It is political! ;)

This aggression will not stand man!

Yeh it's a warning about US activity in other countries. And this intention of being a political commentary is clearly laid out by when we see the Bush broadcast at the beginning of the film, US, "This is what happens when you **** a stranger in this ass".

[Cobpyth]

I won't respect it because you didn't even explain the difference.

You stated like a fact that Gunslinger was wrong and absurd and that only your interpretation is 'what the movie is about', while Daniel was jokingly calling The Big Lebowski "the greatest political commentary of all time".

Oh well, I do agree with you that I personally don't see Fight Club as something homosexual either.

[The Gunslinger45]

Dude I would pay serious money to see a politician say on live TV "This is what happens when you f**k a stranger in this ass!"

[mark f]

They've done that before, in so many words, but give a campaign contribution to whoever you like. :)

I see. I understand why it might sound like that, but I used the words to me in the first sentence of my post, and then I also used I don't think in the next sentence. Which should suggest that I was expressing my opinion only.

The reaction afterwards was exaggerated and hilarious, but it's pointless to discuss it further, really. Let's just forget about it.

[The Gunslinger45]

I want it word for word. ;) And I do not like political contributions on account as I hate politicians.

[Thursday Next]

Fight Club is overflowing with ideas. Many, maybe most, of them are stupid. The philosophy is retarded and obnoxious.

What philosophy? I didn't really see Fight Club as having a philosophy of its own as much as it was satirising other philosophies - consumerism, support groups, the idea of masculinity as being inherently about violence*, Tyler Durden's brand of anarchism and the stupidity of giving yourself over to anarchism just because you are dissatisfied with what you've got.

Everyone in this movie is deluded to an extent, not just the main character(s). Perhaps that's the movie's philosophy, if there is one at all.

(*This one's problematic, I suppose, because while it's certainly poking fun at the men who join fight club, the movie itself does glamourise violence to an extent.)

I can see that some people might have a problem with the violence in the film. But not people who voted for Goodfellas or Pulp Fiction, where it's just as present.

Since we're so close to the end I thought I'd share some stuff with you guys. First, here's 101-110:

[Mr Minio]

Wow. Now I'm realy wondering where's Satantango.

[Guaporense]

That's your number 1 film from the 1990's?

[Mr Minio]

Number two actually.

[Daniel M]

No Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. Outrageous. :p

[Guaporense]

Number two actually.

I would have included it in my top 10-15 of the decade had I watched it sooner. That way it certainly would have gotten higher in the list, probably cracking the top 100.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Last of the Mohicans didn't even make it:mad:. Who is voting for **** like Tremors as part of their best 25 films of the 90's?

:eek: Eh excuse me! Tremors is awesome! Didn't quite make my list but wasn't far off, and is certainly more deserving in my eyes than Mohicans.

And as it was on my list I'm sad that Die Hard With a Vengeance just missed out

Die Hard WAV would have been worthy of a place IMO for sure. certainly ahead of some of the ahem 'questionable' films that did make it.

Tremors however............

[Harry Lime]

I admit I was tempted to tamper with Con Air's stats to boost Die Hard 3 into the top 100.

[Sexy Celebrity]

You probably tampered with the list anyway and just put Die Hard with a Vengeance at 101 so you could make up that excuse and look like you hadn't done anything.

[Harry Lime]

And I'm going to publish the entire list in detail with votes and everything to further the appearance that I did not do anything, so to speak.

[cricket]

I voted for Carlito's way; close call.

Oh, Harry. You feel so guilty.

Aw, shame The Crying Game just missed out.

[Harry Lime]

Some more information. The final two films were far and away the favourites, it wasn't even close. Second place was on 35 lists, 1st place on seven of them, and had a total of 609 points. First place was on 32 lists, 1st place on five of them, and had a total of 640 points.

Compare that with 3rd place Fight Club's 378 points on 23 lists. The film that was on the third highest number of lists was Seven at 28 lists in total. The film that was third in 1st place votes was The Shawshank Redemption with four 1st place votes - but compare that with the fact that it was on only 18 lists, those four 1st place votes were vital to its point total.

Well that's a minor upset. Expected Pulp Fiction to win it easily, but it makes sense in a way. I know some people, Gunslinger for instance, who don't care for Pulp Fiction. I don't know anyone that dislikes Goodfellas.

I don't know any sane person that dislikes Goodfellas.

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.

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.

Pulp Fiction is the 15th film from my list; I had it at #9. To me, the movie is proof that something can be awesome, yet still overrated. But I have no argument with anyone who believes it's the best film of the decade. Truly a great film.

[Harry Lime]

I didn't like Sonatine as much the first time I watched it. Perhaps it was my mood at the time but on the rewatch I was basically kicking myself for the rating I initially gave it.

Guap: I watched Only Yesterday a couple months ago, good film. I don't think it's great since it never really tries to be a great film, if you know what I mean, but it was still good and I was glad to have watched it.

[HitchFan97]

Wow, what a surprise. #2 and 3 on my list, respectively. A great ending to a great list. :up:

This is my favourite political commentary:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/31/The_SpongeBob_SquarePants_Movie_poster.jpg/220px-The_SpongeBob_SquarePants_Movie_poster.jpg
I've not seen it, but even though I don't like SpongeBob, it's probably still funnier than Dr. Strangelove.

What philosophy? I didn't really see Fight Club as having a philosophy of its own as much as it was satirising other philosophies...
I'm with you on this. I think Fight Club has a philosophy in the same way that Star Wars has a religion. Others have taken it and spun out their own thing, but it's not expressed in the film.

Number two actually.
I'm sure Satantango is number two. :D That's right. A childish poo joke.

A fitting end to this travesty of a list.
That's good to know. :p

01 Alien 3
Alien 3 was your #1 choice? Wow. I mean, I quite like Alien 3, it's my favourite of a series of films I don't give a **** about, but seriously. BTW, how much did you win? :p

24. The Ice Storm (#363)
Now, that is a shame. The Ice Storm is a really good film and deserves to be much higher on the overall list.

So Goodfellas won! YAY! Very pleased to see that. You've all done very well.

Here's how the top 25 should've looked.

1. The Straight Story
2. Goodfellas
3. Man Bites Dog
4. Romeo + Juliet
5. Starship Troopers
6. The Doors
7. JFK
8. Scream
9. Little Women
10. Leon
11. La Reine Margot
12. The Usual Suspects
13. Point Break
14. Reservoir Dogs
15. The Remains Of The Day
16. Clueless
17. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
18. Pulp Fiction
19. Ed Wood
20. Donnie Brasco
21. Miller's Crossing
22. The Big Lebowski
23. Speed
24. Everyone Says I Love You
25. Natural Born Killers

[Guaporense]

Now let's do the top 100 of the 1980's!

[Harry Lime]

The Full List (from the Excel file):
As I already explained that list (Master List) isn't technically a ranking, it doesn't even have the top 100 correct.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I see Orlando on that list twice. #'s 359 and 281.

[Harry Lime]

Now let's do the top 100 of the 1980's!
Yes, who should we nominate to run it? I vote ABSC.

[wintertriangles]

Guap: I watched Only Yesterday a couple months ago, good film. I don't think it's great since it never really tries to be a great film, if you know what I mean, but it was still good and I was glad to have watched it.
:rotfl:

Well, I guess since everyone else is doing it:


Double Life of Veronique
Blue
Eyes Wide Shut
Lovers of the Arctic Circle
La Belle Noiseuse
Being John Malkovich
The Girl on the Bridge
Man Bites Dog
Chungking Express
The Celebration
Delicatessen
Naked

[Harry Lime]

I see Orlando on that list twice. #'s 359 and 281.
Thanks, good eye. Fixed, see attachment.

[Skepsis93]

Well I'm done trying to predict what the MoFos are gonna vote for. Big surprise, but I'm not too bothered because I like both of them.

Cool list, Harry, and thanks for the hard work.

I say we give Yoda an hour or so before we start nagging him to add this to the lists section. :p

My list:
1. American Beauty
2. Heavenly Creatures
3. Magnolia
4. Before Sunrise
5. Happiness
6. Forrest Gump
7. The Truman show
8. The Big Lebowski
9. Se7en

20. Being John Malkovich
21. The Silence of the Lambs
22. Thelma & Louise
23. Wild at Heart
24. Dazed and Confused
25. Run Lola Run

[Sexy Celebrity]

How odd that Wintertriangles and I practically have The Ice Storm right around the same place.

[HitchFan97]

I'd rather do an All-Time 100, but I've said that before. However an 80s list would be even more interesting than either of the last two decades.

Thanks for all the work on this Harry. :up:

[wintertriangles]

Oh my gawd seriously Skepsis why on earth would you vote for Wild at Heart that's so annoying that you like this movie because I hated it. Like totally. Take it off your list.

[Pussy Galore]

Pulp Fiction was my number 18 and Goodfellas wasn't on my list. I just don't really like the gangster genre, but I csn see why it's the numer 1

[Harry Lime]

I enjoyed being the moderator on this, so thanks for nominating (?) me to run it. And thanks to everyone that contributed, whether it was lists or comments or both.

As for what's next maybe we need a poll. I'm all for the Eighties personally.

[The Gunslinger45]

This list was a lot of fun, but on with the 80's!

[Sexy Celebrity]

It better be the real '80s.

[Guaporense]

Guap: I watched Only Yesterday a couple months ago, good film. I don't think it's great since it never really tries to be a great film, if you know what I mean, but it was still good and I was glad to have watched it.

That comment really hit a nerve on you that time. Given that you love Fargo.

[Harry Lime]

That comment really hit a nerve on you that time. Given that you love Fargo.
Ha! You're so right, I lost sleep over it.

[Guaporense]

It bugged you enough for you to retaliate twice, right now and at the time.

It bugged a lot of people around these parts, Deadite went nuts.

[Harry Lime]

It bugged you enough for you to retaliate twice, right now and at the time.
Retaliate? You shouldn't take things so seriously. It's just an opportunity for me to make a joke. Sure I thought it was an absurd comment, but in the end if you think that what does it matter to me? It's like an inside joke, Guap, this last time was meant as a friendly gesture.

[Skepsis93]

If people want an 80s list and nobody else is willing to start it up then I'm game, why the heck not?

[Daniel M]

A surprising end. Kind of disappointed that Pulp Fiction was beaten, but Goodfellas is a great film.

Is everyone okay with Skepsis running the next one?

I have no problem with Skepsis doing it.

[Daniel M]

Also, Harry Lime, I noticed somebody voted 'Twin Peaks Pilot', I'm guessing they did this because the European Theatrical Pilot they did kind of counts as a film. Out of interest who was this? It should of been combined with Fire Walk With Me! :p

As the 90's list comes to an end, and the complete tally of votes has been completed, what else can round it off, other than Sexy's thoughts:

I don't want Skepsis93 doing it. He's 93. That's not '80s.

[Skepsis93]

Oh stop it guys, you're making me blush. :blush:

Seriously though, thanks for the vote of confidence. :up: Except for you of course, Sexy. But I was fully expecting that. D'you think maybe you're getting a tad predictable?

[Miss Vicky]

Sexy as Hitler. Love it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Thank you, Weeman. I laughed hard. It was better than my videos.

Brilliant!

[jiraffejustin]

Weeman gets a round of applause. Even Sexy liked it, and he hates "foreign" movies. :up::up:

My favorite part was the Guapo bit, by the way.

[Skepsis93]

Standing ovation for weeman.

My favourite bit was that exchange with "Rodent".

[honeykid]

That's the best thing I've seen in ages, weeman. I've got tears rolling down my face. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Now that's some quotable **** right there.

"Even this f**king video is in a foreign language. Fu**ing Harry Lime."

These bits are all brilliant. The whole video is brilliant. I am proud of you Weeman. :p

[Sexy Celebrity]

I agree, the part with Rodent really made me laugh.

[stevo3001]

Goodfellas (MY LIST: 1) is by far the best film of the 90s. In fact, one could make a case for it as the best film of the last 50 years, not something that could seriously be said about any other film from the decade. It is an unbelievably intoxicating rush. Take the breahtaking whole apart and you see brilliant scene after genius scene, a movie where every moment is a classic in its own right.

Completely awesome, Hilarious! Great work!!!

[jiraffejustin]

Is there some way to commemorate this moment as a historic landmark in creativity in MoFo history?

[weeman]

I am glad you all like it :up: I'm glad Sexy likes it too :p

I have to say my favourite bit is the Rodent bit. That panned out perfectly.

You could give me money I guess :rolleyes:

Had to break my no plus rep rule for that. Well done, weeman!

[Sexy Celebrity]

What movie is that scene really from?

[Daniel M]

MoFo Posts Hall of Fame? :p

[weeman]

What movie is that scene really from?

Downfall (2004).

There's an absolute slew of parodies on Youtube.

[Daniel M]

What movie is that scene really from?

Downfall, I believe, which (kind of ironically) made the Millenium list.

[The Gunslinger45]

My favourite bit was that exchange with "Rodent".

Seconded!

[jiraffejustin]

I have no money! :blush:


MoFo Posts Hall of Fame? :p

There is no other competition. We can skip the preliminary rounds.

[The Gunslinger45]

MoFo Posts Hall of Fame? :p

We need to make one, me and Sexy had an epic hilarious moment where we posted two posts at the same time and it came out VERY awkward!

[The Gunslinger45]

I have no money! :blush:

To hell with rounds, just save them for lols!

[wintertriangles]

That was quality. My fav bit was the Guap part also, but I appreciate the namedrop. Just for the record, since I've been called out, I only had 8 Asian films, one of them being The Ice Storm, which is in english, which Sexy also voted for... /gong

[jiraffejustin]

Somebody start a thread for MoFo posts hall of fame. We will just quote the posts and have them saved for history to see.

Okay, I know Ang Lee directed it, but I wouldn't call The Ice Storm an Asian movie... am I wrong?

I have suggested this before, mainly for unintentionally stupid/funny posts, because there are a lot on this forum. But it would also be good for great stuff like this.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Calling The Ice Storm an Asian movie would be like calling Brokeback Mountain an Asian movie. I also had Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil on my list, too.

done!

[Skepsis93]

Guys, someone's ALREADY submitted an 80s list to me.

[Cobpyth]

And the best film won. Wonderful ending to this list!

Weeman, that was awesome by the way!

[teeter_g]

THAT was amazing!:goof:

Nope.

Ah damn, well there's a secret Twin Peaks fan out there somewhere!

Guys, someone's ALREADY submitted an 80s list to me.

Haha that's great, care to reveal who? Is it Sexy? And when are you going to start the rules/intro thread, c'mon Skepsis, we're waiting!

Edit: Seen it's not Sexy, interesting :D

[Guaporense]

Me.

[Skepsis93]

Put it this way, there was a lot of anime... you already guessed it.

EDIT: Guap saying "me" probably gave it away too.
