This might not work or might have been done before so this could make me look like an idiot. But i'm going to do it anyway.

I'm stealing this way of voting from Empire Magazine. This thread will determine The 50 Greatest Movies of All Time According to the members of MovieForums.com.

Here's what you do...

Vote by listing your top 10 movies of all time. Your number 1 choice will get 10 points and your number 10 choice will get 1 point. Like so...


1. Your 1st choice (10 points)

2. Your 2nd choice (9 points)
3. Your 3rd choice (8 points)
4. Your 4th choice (7 points)
5. Your 5th choice (6 points)
6. Your 6th choice (5 points)
7. Your 7th choice (4 points)
8. Your 8th choice (3 points)
9. Your 9th choice (2 points)
10. Your 10th choice (1 point)

When enough votes have been casted I will add up the points and list...
