Donnie Darko director's cut? Ew.
Ooh, ooh, and Nightmare Before Christmas. And Seven. I wonder what these choices say about my personality?

Too many! Too long! Option shock! Can't take it! >
And my blood pressure was just fine 'til you started this list of "9,453 Movies That You Liked The Best!"
I just don't know!
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
...how'za 'bout five or ten, maybe, then? Heck...I wouldn't know which ones to put then, either! Not "squished", not "squashed", but "squshed". A Southernism. Pronounced as spelled.
Mmm...squshed goozle...mmm...

For those trying to suggest titles for addition - this spawned out of the wildly off topic Top 10 of 2005 thread where we discu ssed our 100 favourite films...
All are welcome to post their personal 100 lists!
Mark! Deep breaths!
It's surprisingly easy once you sit down with a pen. Use the IMDB top 250 if it helps, or scan a DVD collection. Think of your ten favourite comedies, then your ten favourite thrillers, foreign language films, animations, sci-fi's, horrors, dramas... films with Naomi Watts.... you'll get there....

Believe it not, I've seen neither. It's amazing what I still have to plonk on my netflex queue (sound of plonk in the background). I've avoided Misery for one reasons: I know of the ankle crushing scene and it makes me cringe... but I can accept that it's worth it.

Mine too. I've seen them and own both, but they're strangely not on my list. Make that 74.

Wrong. I had The Apartment.
But I usually don't watch TV any more, so that was just a lucky catch back a few years ago. Definitely one of my favorite comedies!
Besides Maltese Falcon and Une Femme Est Une Femme, it's the only b/w movie on my list, I believe.

It is so possible to come up with so many other excellent films that it is almost pointless. Maybe the list should be increased to the 1000 best films of all time. Besides american films there are many foreign ones that are not listed and which can stand up to the very best that Hollywood ever produced.
One that I can add right now is one that not only impressed Hitchcock himself, but that he still could not duplicate in its intensity of suspense and tension.
The movie is The Wages of Fear, not the cut down one but the full 155 minutes one!

| Deleted User | It's only pointless if you assume that we're trying to make a global list of the 100 best films of all time. We're not... or at least--as the starter of this thread--I was not. I was attempting to create MY top 100 (and as some have mentioned, such a list is always a moving target).
So those that said "this should be on that list" and "you listed that?", I say "make your own list.". ;^)
