CALLING ATTENTION!!!

First, many thanks to Box for organizing this top 100 thread and list. Watching the list unfold was very exciting, although maddening at times.

However, this list was made taking a limited amount of movies that were selected previously.
I would be interested in also doing a list, but with no restrictions. Any movie can be voted for.

I'm sure many people had movies that would have been in their top 100, that they couldn't even vote for.

For such a list I would say the rating system should be 1 point per movie, and in case of a tie, the best average of placements will determine who's in front.

So, is anyone interested in that list, or is it too similar and too soon?

A great film missing...

And this was my list:

1. Aliens
2. C'era Una Volta Il West (Once Upon a Time in the West)
3. Once Upon A Time In America
4. Forrest Gump
5. The Great Escape
6. Back To The Future
7. The Usual Suspects
8. Titanic
9. Psycho
10. Se7en
11. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
12. The Exorcist
13. Gone With The Wind
14. Raiders Of The Lost Ark
15. Lawrence Of Arabia
16. Doctor Zhivago
17. The Terminator
18. Witness For The Prosecution
19. Pulp Fiction
20. Ben-Hur (1959)

Just 36 out of 100.

AFI only had it at No. 76 on its original list. Hope it will jump too when we update our version in say 5 years.

Hmm, I guess I will watch it the night after getting my citizenship in a couple of months.

BTW, anybody interested in doing a "KJ's 100 Greatest Performances" list? I could organize it if people feel it's something we could explore.

That could be interesting

Im afraid my list would be dominated by men.

I don't see many movies with strong female performances in them.

Too many guy flicks.

Great work Box. Many thanks for doing this.

Overall, a satisfying but rather predictable list. I guess it was rather obvious that a LOTR would take top spot, but I hoped FOTR would be it.

Disappointed in the lack of Donnie Darko, The Thing, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys. Oh well.

Understandable. But I expect a lot of outstanding female performances will be remembered overall, and sometimes they tend to be even more iconic.

Well, you could force everyone to put 50% female performances in...

Well, I'd like to do it similarly to what Box had: come up with a preliminary list first using various sources, then allow people to nominate their candidates and see which gather 5 or more votes to form the final nomination list.

The ones I found so far are from http://www.drskantze.com/movies/ and Premiere.

loving the love for Godfather and vertigo in those lists...

Haha, I'm with you. But if Speed is better than North by Northwest, then Return of the Krap can easily be the best movie of all time. It's probably a matter of expectations: I expected a laughable list and got a laughable list, so I'm not disappointed at all.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is better then Vertigo my foot. Who ever agrees most definitely did not see Vertigo.

Speed (A) >>> North by Northwest (B)

Great idea, sounds fun already! Oh, and thanks for compiling all 3 lists into one chart. =)

Maybe if we would've gotten more people to vote the list would've been more ecclectic...

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, people were too damn lazy to vote.

Great job, box..

we should do this again sometime.. like once a year..

I'm sure most of us haven't seen many many 'great but old' movies..

that includes me..

I shall watch more classic movies..

Not sure how that would go. I could see it being dominated by Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise performances.
Premier Magazine came up with a list a couple of years back, with the Top 100 ranked in order, and 101-200 listed alphabetically. That could be our starter list. And then I suppose we could add all other Oscar noms and have a self nomination list like we did for movies.

Here's 101-200

I compiled a list of 529 nominees so far. Should be enough to get us started, but I'll wait a couple of days.

Let that just be a "recommendation" of sorts, think people should vote for whomever they feel like.

I was thinking the same thing actually. I would be glad to help with it as well.

That's the only way to make it fair. Because, yes, the list would be dominated by men otherwise.
