Sinny's Top 100 Sinnies
 

I've wanted to do my own Top 100 thread ever since TheUsualSuspect and Pyro did theirs back in 2005. What stopped me was the fact that I've always been excruciatingly indecisive when it comes to ranking my favourites. I couldn't even decide on a top 10, never mind a top 100. So I put it on hold until I could make a list that I felt comfortable with, and here I am six years later.

Rankings 100 through to around 25 are a lot more fluid. On a different day, I could probably have, for example, number 85 moved up to 33, or move 46 down to 72. But I'm pretty certain that my top 20 or so is in fact a solid, definitive list of my favourites, that probably isn't going to change for a while.

I'll be editing this first post as I go along, to eventually include my list in its entirety.

Hope you enjoy.

Only saw Serenity for the first time last week, so wasn't sure whether to include it. But I just loved it so much. I've watched it three times already now. "Firefly" was great, and this film went way beyond my already high expectations.

Nice list!!! Great to see South Park and other superb picks. I love most of them. Looking forward to your top 20.

Yeah some might call it a guilty pleasure but I'm not ashamed to say that I absolutely love it. The TV show is good, but the film, especially with all the great songs, is by far the best thing Trey Parker and Matt Stone have done. They really made the most of not having the usual censorship of televison, the way they incorporated swear words into the story, using the Terrance & Phillip movie as a parallel for the South Park film itself. Great stuff, not to mention hilarious.

Re: Sinny's Top 100 Sinnys
 

Very good list. I've seen about 90% of them.

Re: Sinny's Top 100 Sinnys
 

+ rep for Once Upon a Time in America, Unforgiven, Rashomon, The Third Man, Sin City and An American Werewolf in London. However, it's possible that Enter The Dragon is my favourite film on your list, so far.

That's interesting, I've always considered it a guilty pleasure. I think it's quite bad in some parts, but just had to include it out of my love for Bruce Lee and his films. It is great in most parts though. I've loved it since I was a kid, I remember trying to replicate Lee's scratches on his face and chest that he has at the end. I used a big red marker to draw them on, my mum wasn't very happy.

Re: Sinny's Top 100 Sinnys
 

Solid, don't know whether to be glad my #1 and #2 have made or disappointed they've appeared so high

Great list so far. +Rep for The Royal Tenenbaums, Minority Report (good to see on someones list), The Evil Dead Trilogy, Sin City, Once Upon A Time in America, and two Coen Bros movies.

Re: Sinny's Top 100 Sinnys
 

Oldboy is very cool and Evil Dead II is a helluva lot of fun. I love them both, of course, as I do every movie in my list. But this half isn't really set in stone. It's just how I'd rank them at the moment. I really do love all the movies listed in the bottom three quarters, and can see how someone could list any of them as their favourite. But the difference between those films and my top 25 is that I have a lot of personal attatchments to most of my top choices, which I'll explain in detail further down the road.

Re: Sinny's Top 100 Sinnys
 

I love your list so far, Nice to see old boy on there :) can't wait to see the rest of your list :)

Oh, it wasn't a slight by any means. I'm looking forward to this list, hopefully it will give me some new films to check out and be more interesting than several recent ones which seems to just list the latest blockbusters from 2001.
