Of course this is a list of 44 so there will be
8 cuts from this list, which I'm thinking as:
The Departed
Lebowski
Wall E
On the Waterfront
Inception
Social Network
Fargo
Reservoir Dogs
Big Lebowski will make it.

Agree about Departed, that was my prediction for highest film last time not to make it.

If the Social Network hasn't made it by now I don't think it will.



We had 1 animation show up in 2010 at #95 (Spirited Away). Wall E didn't make it despite coming out in 2008 but it makes it high this time? Plus Up? We've already had 3.

I know of at least 3 people who voted Up high so I'd be surprised if it didn't make. But maybe they were the only ones. Wall E I put on the cut list.

Kane could be a cut too. Or Chinatown. Hard to say I would have thought all would make but just not enough room. I'll be even more truly shocked if something not on that list would make it.



2022 Mofo Fantasy Football Champ
I still think The Thing could make it, maybe today.
Ah drats I'm missing that one to. Gotta cut another from my list.

I think one is Kane. You just really don't hear about it on here.

I was thinking about Kane as well but I think it still makes it.

The Master will make it this far ahead of There Will Be Blood and Rashomon this far ahead of Ikiru?
No guarantee more of a bold prediction that will burn up in flames

Yea I missed the Thing too, came up with my list far too quick, couple of films I forgot about. The Thing would have been in my top 10.

I think it will make it. Wasn't it number 2 on the old horror list.



You've missed The Titfield Thunderbolt off too .... can probably drop The Good, The Bad And The Ugly to make room for it. Just in this thread alone there's been more chatter about TTT than TGTBATU I think



2022 Mofo Fantasy Football Champ
The Thing is not on the 2010 list so it'd need a massive jump.
I think that's how I missed it but how can it go from #2 horror to not making this

Look at the numbers. At this point for a film to make the cut it can't be on just four or five lists but on nine or ten or fifteen or twenty. That five members on this site may really like say The Master, that is not going to be enough. It's going to take them plus six or eight other MoFos. If twelve people had The Master on their ballots I will be very, very surprised.

But we shall see.
