* THE FRENCH CONNECTION
* TAXI DRIVER
* DELIVERANCE
* FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

I agree.  Even a top 50 list would be tough.  I'd always wonder if #51 or #52 should really be in my top 50.

6. Ran
7. Halloween
8. Godzilla 1985
9. Back To the Future (I consider them all one long movie)

1.) Clerks My favorite movie of all time, hands down.
2.) The Toxic Avenger.  I remember seeing this as a kid and instantly was hooked. 
3.) Eraserhead. Well, people seem to love it or hate it.
4.) The Shawshank Redemption.  Just a great movie overall.
5.) Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.  One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
6.) South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. An R-rated animated musical that seems to attack the hypocrisy of parents in America AND the MPAA.  Good stuff.
7.) Back to The Future- Just a great, fun movie.
8.) Die Hard- One hell of a movie.
9.) The Watchmen- an underrated movie, really.
10.) Jackass 3-D.  Well, what can I say.  It's funny.

"IT's" also not a film but a mini-series.

I rather like it myself.
I think they kept to the spirit of the thing with a limited budget. Also I remember I had to be real sneaky to watch it as a child as my mum didn't want me seeing it. So nostalgic memories too.
