Nay. You're not allowed to like what you like.

Some of those are good movies.

Not gonna lie, I've seen every movie on your list. I wouldn't rank them that way, by hey, yay.

Nay. You're not allowed to like what you like.

nay

Where's Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, Memento,  Lord of the Rings, Pan's Labyrinth, I could go on. Some of those are okay though. I don't think the last Star Wars really deserves it though

good list

but shouldn't this be on Screened?

You make a lot of threads.

I can't argue with any movie on that list. They're all solid films. Most of 'em aren't exactly my favorites, but I certainly can't say you didn't pick some quality films.

thanks for your input guys. and about the top 50, I was in a rush, but this is the list that's organized. 
 
Special Mention: Beetlejuice would be #31

I still think The Graduate isn't that great a film. But you have The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly so I can't exactly get on your case.

Even though you have some pretty good movies on that list, you didn't put The Godfather, so NAY!

A lot of great movies on that list, I can not disagree so I will say yay and move on.

I've seen much worse lists.

I'm not looking at the full list. It doesn't interest me unless you at least tell us why you think they deserve to be on a top whatever list. 
 
Good seeing the Big Lebowski so high though.

Having just recently watched 2001, I kind of don't think it fits with the rest of the list. I get why it is significant in film history and respect that, and there is a lot of clever symbolism, but as a viewing experience it commits a sin that none of the other movies mentioned come close to. It is simply boring. Maybe that's different if you didn't grow up with CG being thrown in your face, but with so much of the movie relying on extended shots of scenes that are supposed to be visually impressive, when they aren't anymore, its grueling.

I also kind of fucking hate that the HAL act hinges on the two crewmen going to lengths to hide their voices but being stupid enough to have the conversation in direct visual range. OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO READ YOUR GODDAMN LIPS! ARGHH!!

I don't see 2Fast 2Furious on that list. NAY.

                    I don't see 2Fast 2Furious on that list. NAY.

                   

               

Empire Strikes Back is in the top 5, that's all that matters.

it's fair to say that all thirty of those films are good. and it's your list so why do you care what anyone else thinks?

 
Some of those are pretty good movies.
