I remember when Excalibur first came out. It was beautiful and haunting and somehow captured the ambiance of what I thought a King Arthur epic should feel like. It still has all of that on a rewatch,...

AGREED. I realize most of mine were comedies, but that is one of my all-time favorites. I have fond memories of watching it several times back when I was a teenager with my mom (it must've come on...

Agreed. I read the book and thought it was TERRIBLE compared to the movie. And I usually say "The book is better" about every movie based on a book. It was tough for me to get through the book...

My list (which only got to 17 entries--I was a last-minute contributor and completely blanked as I was making up my list)... is MY OWN ALL-TIME FAVORITE MOVIES.

I did not in any way try to list...

Ha! I thought I was being all sneaky by peeking at whatever was on your phone screen there behind Fezzik... until I looked a little closer. Now who's the sneaky one? :D :D

Well played.

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 of All-Time Refresh: Countdown

Thanks for all these responses! As I stated, I actually do love Goodfellas and watch it any time I see it's on TV somewhere. But, like Yoda mentioned, I do prefer Casino to Goodfellas, even if...

Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 of All-Time Refresh: Countdown
