I ran across this today. I had 12 Monkeys on my list at #19, and as it turns out, this month marks the 25th anniversary of its release. Did the pandemic influence my choice in its inclusion? Maybe,...

Fezzik is not amused at the joke. Everyone knows A Cat in Paris and Kedi are the two greatest movies of all time.

I think the movie from my list I'm most disappointed didn't make the countdown is Parasite, because I really thought it had a chance. Granted, I only gave it three points, but it's definitely a case...

There actually isn't a mystery. It's Casablanca, Goodfellas, The Godfather, and 2001. Sorry, but The Departed did not make it.

I had a Tarantino film on my list, but not Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction may be the movie I've seen the most times as an adult. I was in my early to mid-twenties, and I watched it rather compulsively,...

Blade Runner was my #7. As a big fan of Philip K. Dick I appreciate his obsessive exploration of themes such as "What does it mean to be human" and "What is reality," and Blade Runner takes these...

I think The Dark Knight is one of the most notable absences on this list (assuming there isn't a surprise awaiting us), obviously not because it is the best movie not to make the list, but because it...

This is a nice pairing of films, the best neo-noir ever in Chinatown and the best comedic noir ever with The Big Lebowski. I love both films. I watch The Big Lebowski at least once a year, saw it a...

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

I always had the impression Solaris was as well revered as Stalker. I wonder if it has any chance of showing up. I hope so. That one was a tough cut from my list. The Kurosawa film on my list...

I will mention I had Persona as my 1-point film. It's definitely my favorite Bergman film, though there are a couple others that are close. My initial reaction was one of awe, and as I've seen it a...

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

Two films I've seen many, many times, and I love them both. I realize it's now cool to dismiss Fight Club as juvenilia, but there were a lot of us who compulsively watched it back in the day and then...

Count me as someone who has always preferred The Terminator more than the T2, but I didn't vote for either. I definitely did not vote for Gone with the Wind.

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

I love both movies. Andrei Rublev made my 60s list and Pan's Labyrinth is probably top five for the 2000s, but they didn't make this list. I gave serious consideration to a different Tarkovsky film,...
