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

Goodfellas wasn't on my list but probably should have been. I think that it's my brother's number one favourite film.

There are certain films that just exude non-stop energy, that have a vibrance...

Casablanca is an amazing film but I forgot to include it on my list. The same goes for the next three films coming up, so I kind of feel glad in a way that I missed out all four and didn't really end...

I thought that The Hateful Eight was especially interesting because it was released at a time of inflamed racial tensions in America. I remember some of the Black Lives Matter protests before the...

I had Pulp Fiction somewhere around the middle of my list, but there are not many films that will ever be as important and influential as it to me.

Personally I can’t believe Rio Bravo and Boogie Nights missed out. Thought there were a fair few fans on here.

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

I think Jaws is a very good film, possibly a great one, but it's been far too long since I last saw it. It's one of my step-dad's favourite films and I have always enjoyed reading Mark's enthusiasm...

Some quick thoughts catching up...

9. Apocalypse Now (290 points)

Excellent film and a long-time favourite of mine. The capture of the descent into darkness/madness has never been so riveting,...

Citizen Kane was #2 on my list.

Like many classics, it's a film that has grown on me with repeat viewings. I think I...

I think the fact that people are debating whether Lord of the Rings should be a single entry or not is a testament to the quality/consistency of the job Peter Jackson did with the films. If any of...

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

Two films that I like but didn't vote for either.

Dr. Strangelove was a film I found I really enjoyed when I first saw it. I had never really seen anything like it before and was impressed by both...

Two great films that I didn't vote for.

Taxi Driver was one of the first films that I fell in love with and helped draw me into cinema. Scorsese was the second director that I really knew existed...

I think Shawshank is another film for me like Forrest Gump that I never watched until relatively late on in my life, as opposed to a lot of people I know who grew up...

Chuffed to see my predictions were right but even happier to see Chinatown and The Big Lebowski show up, although they were never really in doubt.

Both are five-star films for me but didn't make...

It just crossed my mind, if you are right Holden Pike about a "surprise" appearance for Parasite then it could fit with this clue. First paragraph could allude to the class differences and it taking...

I'm going to go for Chinatown and The Big Lebowski. Here's my thinking below. The Lebowski stuff seems a little more forced so I'm probably wrong there.

Two great films here.

12 Angry Men was one of the first "older" films that I watched when I started getting into films, which I'm sure is an experience many on here share. It's a classic for a...
