The 50 by seanc

My top 50 films. I know this list is pretty mainstream, really have just began to branch out into the independent and foreign world the last year or two. These are all films I have viewed at least 3 times, and hold up for me on both an artistic and emotional level.

50) The Little Mermaid





49) Rear Window



48) Breakfast At Tiffanys





47) Anchorman





46) Bull Durham





45) The Karate Kid



44) Diner





43)The Grass Is Greener



42) The Lion King



41) Dumb And Dumber



40) Casino Royale

Some great movies and some forgotten gems in there. Real nice variety and looking forward to see the rest!

I've always had a soft spot for Anchorman, and Rear Window of course is brilliant.

39) The Matrix



38) Munich



37) The Silence Of The Lambs



36) Million Dollar Baby



35) The Color Of Money



34) Goldeneye



33) Aladdin



32) Back To The Future



31) The Wizard Of Oz



30) Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
(I know some will consider this cheating, but if the director shot all the films as one story and it was meant to be experienced as such I disagree.)

Yep, The Lord of the Rings is a single 9 hour movie and should be treated as such.

My favorites from your list yet:

Rear Window
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings
Back to the Future

Seen 5 from your last set: I enjoyed The Matrix, and love Silence of the Lambs, Color of Money, Back to the Future, and Wizard of Oz.

29) Dance With Wolves



28) Raiders Of The Lost Ark



27) The Social Network



26) Lonesome Dove



25) Toy Story



24) Dog Day Afternoon



23) Forrest Gump



22) No Country For Old Men



21) A Christmas Story



20) The Jerk

19) The Dark Knight



18) It's A Wonderful Life



17) A Few Good Men



16) Star Wars Trilogy



15) Jerry Maguire



14)One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest



13) Inglorious Bastards



12) Magnolia



11) Remember The Titans

That's a good 50-11 matey... only one or two I don't like myself (namely the Bond films and The Social Network) but the rest are top choices.

From the last 2 sets I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, It's a Wonderful Life, A Few Good Men, Cuckoo's Nest, Forrest Gump, and Dog Day Afternoon. I really like Jerry Maguire, The Jerk, A Christmas Story, The Social Network, and Star Wars. I wasn't crazy about Magnolia but want to try it again. I haven't seen the rest.

Rear Window, Million Dollar Baby, and Silence of The Lambs are the ones that stood out for me. There are plenty of othe good films but those three are the masterpieces of the list.

Thanks for the input everyone, had fun putting it together. Wish I would have found this website a long time ago. Cool to have a place to go everyday where thoughtful conversation about movies happens.

Just catching up on your list. There is at least one movie from every set that I absolutely love. Great to see Lonesome Dove on your list. I rented that from the library on a whim and ended up having a fantastic Sunday watching the whole mini-series.

Some other highlights for me, The Little Mermaid, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Lion King, Magnolia..Lots of good stuff here.
