Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) 9. Some Like It Hot (1959, Billy Wilder) A basically perfect comedy. Screwball heaven. 8. When Harry Met Sally... (1989, Rob Reiner) Can men and women just be platonic friends? Many films have had this kind of plot but none hold a candle to When Harry Met Sally. With a superb Nora Ephron screenplay examining the dynamic of male/female relationships, the film rightfully has an esteemed reputation. "I'll have what she's having." 7. 12 Angry Men (1957, Sidney Lumet) It is a testament to the power of 12 Angry Men that we don't know the names of the characters and the action only briefly leaves one room. The claustrophobic atmosphere keeps us on the edge of our seat. Explores the American justice system in a way that has become iconic. 6. American Beauty (1999, Sam Mendes) There's been a bit of a backlash in recent years against American Beauty but I've never agreed with it. It's a biting, funny, sad and oddly moving tale of beauty, suburbia, family and the modern American dream. It struck a chord with me when I first saw it that still holds true.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) Didn't realise there were haters. Isn't it a loved film?
I like it, either way.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) 5. Clueless (1995, Amy Heckerling) So this, like, totally, holds a special place in my heart. I was 15 when Clueless was released in theaters and probably saw it or five or six times with my girlfriends. It became An Event for my generation. For me, it is the single most rewatchable movie ever. I've seen it at least 50 times. It's just so delightful and hilarious. And the '90s lingo is still hilarious even today. As if! 4. Forrest Gump (1994, Robert Zemeckis) Makes me sob like a jackass every single time. It's obviously polarizing, but I'm in the camp that absolutely adores it. For me, it's an inspirational and life-affirming film and, as you can see by the ranking here, one of my very favorites. Beautiful. 3. Annie Hall (1977, Woody Allen) Wistful, romantic and absolutely hilarious. The groundbreaking Annie Hall is still Woody Allen's best film and a slice of perfection. 2. Schindler's List (1993, Steven Spielberg) "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire." Like no other film, Schindler's List stuns me into silence every time I watch it. I've never really been able to adequately describe its emotional blunt force impact. Leaving aside the film's many technical marvels (and it is really one of the most impressive looking films you could ever watch), Schindler's List serves as a stark depiction of history in a way no other medium besides film could achieve. 1. As Good as It Gets (1997, James L. Brooks) As Good as It Gets holds the title of My Favorite Movie. In terms of both laughs and how it makes me feel, it gets a 10/10. It's a film about real characters with real problems that manages to be the perfect amounts of light and dark. Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both deservingly won Oscars, and they are backed up by a superb Greg Kinnear. The screenplay is thoughtful and honest. I get swept away by it every time I watch, and that's really what I'm looking for with movies.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) I highly enjoy As Good as It Gets. Nicholson has great fun with the part and elevates the overall film. And I believe it has a certain inherent sincerity, so I can let myself go and be swept away by the sentimental love/redemption story.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) Oh, Libs' list and mine have only one match: City Lights. As I said before she began, I was hoping she might emerge another champion of The Crying Game, The English Patient, Out of Africa, and/or The Piano (favorites of mine which I believe are fairly Libs friendly). Alas, it was not to be. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6. Good Time - 7. The Beguiled - 8.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Libs) The awesomeness of her number 4 quickly was obscured by the mehness of number 3.
Overall, a list with a lot of titles that I enjoy but wouldn't put in my top 100, but with no titles that I downright detest.
