so what's the purpose of these threads anyway, when everybody has a different opinion on what's the best movie, plus we are not commenting on eachother's choices?

People enjoy compiling lists, there's no purpose beyond that.  You can comment on anyone's choices if you feel like it.

I like that when we make these lists there're no arguments (I guess questions or comments would be nice, though).  We just pick stuff until we've hit 100.



24. Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)

[Cthulhu]

25. Apocalypse now

[Rev. Powell]

26. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST



I'm going to do everybody a favor and print the list up until now: hopefully this will cut down on repeats.  I made a few comments as well.

1. FIGHT CLUB - I can see it on a top 100 list.
2. THE GODFATHER - obviously belongs.
3. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY - my choice.
4. A BETTER TOMORROW - interesting; it's not even my favorite John Woo film, but I can see it.
5. BRAZIL - nice choice
6. THE WAGES OF FEAR - this film is great!  It seems to me it's often overlooked.  Good choice!
7. SCARFACE - I can see it.
8. A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS - my choice.
9. NOSFERATU (1922) - definitely.
10. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - would be hard to leave it off.
11. IN BRUGES - haven't seen it yet, have heard great things.
12. SCHINDLER'S LIST - great pick!
13. CASABLANCA - obviously.
14. THE WIZARD OF OZ - my pick
15. THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON - this is the one I have the most trouble with being top 100, but the monster sure is iconic
16. THE HUSTLER - agreed.
17. THE EXORCIST - agreed.
18.  2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - my pick.
19. MULHOLLAND DRIVE - believe it or not I haven't seen this yet.  It came out when I was mad at Lynch.
20. AMERICAN BEAUTY - everyone seems to love this movie but I have to admit I'm not sure why.  To me it's good, not great
21. VERTIGO - my pick
22. HEAVENLY CREATURES - interesting pick, I liked the movie but I'm not sure it's top 100 material (to me)
23. BULLY - haven't seen it.
24. AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD - a very special movie, this one probably belongs
25. APOCALYPSE NOW - obviously
26. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST - my pick.
