Tools    





After seeing quite a few Top 100 lists I thought it'd be a good idea if I had a crack at doing one so...this list will probably be really difficult for me, I'm going to start organising it tonight, but probably won't start posting it until tomorrow or a bit later this week.

Don't pay too much attention to the order, it'll probably be a right mess!

Yeah Taxi Driver will be well up there, not sure about 1st though.

I've just started trying to order some films, but I really am finding it extremely difficult.



Randomly visiting for now
woah that's a monster task Travis, but give it a go anyway. If I could give you rep I would Can't wait to see your list, I love finding a gem in people's top 20 movies that I haven't seen or heard of, cause I always end up loving it.



There's something about people's Top 100 lists on here i always enjoy, probably because they're the films people enjoy over critically popular films.

So Travis. Hurry up bitch.

I've started ordering it now....and it's very hard, but I should finish the ordering by tomorrow night and start posting them on here if I have the time



Here we go, maybe I've rushed it a bit, I've missed out many films, and now I'm not so sure about the order. Oh well....here goes

100. Angel Heart



Masterpiece. De Niro gives on of his most eccentric performances.


99. Cape Fear (1962)




Better than the remake, Robert Mitchum at his best.


98. Hud



Truly brilliant film, with some fine performances.


97. Seven



Very dark thriller, one of the best films of the 90s.


96. A Bridge Too Far



Brilliant and very realistic.


95. Memento



Absolutely amazing and surprising film.


94. The Exorcist



One of the most frightening films I've seen.

93. Dark City



Very dark, very underrated sci-fi masterpiece.


92. Carlito's Way



Not as good as Scarface, but still brilliant.


91. Dirty Harry



You gotta ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky....well do ya punk? Classic.


Well I'll post the next 10 later on...

Yeah, maybe you won't agree with a lot of my list, I'll post the next 10 up now.



90. Donnie Brasco




Brilliant gangster drama, superb acting.


89. The Terminator



Better than T2, Arnie is much better as a bad guy.


88. The Pianist



Brilliant story of survival.


87. Gandhi



Ben Kingsley's greatest performance.


86. The Maltese Falcon



A true classic.


Right, I've been really busy so I'm going to post the rest tomorrow and the day after.





I like that you included Angel Heart and Dark City. No one does dangerous and mysterious like Mickey Rourke. And DeNiro as Lou Cipher Rourke is like Bruce Willis except edgier and without the huge commercial success. I was glad to see the great job he did in Sin City. Even if it was under tons of makeup.

I happened to see Dark City again today. What are the chances the Wachowskis stole part of that for The Matrix?

i like that too. i was going to try to organize my own list but i can't say for certain if i'd post it. i haven't seen nearly enough film to really have an authentic Top 100...and probably if i make one now, within a few months i'd want to redo it anyway.
