I figured that would make for a very boring top 10.

If Makeshift of Zing aren't ready I can keep this thread entertained for a few days with a Squee style zoom list.

Band of Brothers, Lord of the Rings, Shawshank =

The Prestige =

Overall a pretty great list.

What's your grade for Braveheart? I'm curious.

Sure! Send in the clown!

I'm sorry, put me at the end of this list, if you can. I am soooo not ready.

Ok ill try and start in an hour, should get it done in 5 days hopefully.

What? No offended reply to my clown remark? I'm losing my 'piss off the Irish' faculties.

At least I know what your number 1 will be:

Right so, time to start. It ain't a scientific list and I know I'm forgetting a few films but hey, this is a general indication of my film taste!

No in depth reasoning either, im crap it it. Instead a quick personal viewpoint.

And at 100

Number 100: The Searchers



A John Wayne movie………and I like it, Hmmm it’s an odd feeling, but hey! The jingoism is kept to a minimum here and the Duke did have presence. I do love that last scene as well.

Number 99: Zodiac



Fincher you glorious bastard! I don’t know how he does it, a 3 hour sombre procedural style drama and I was never bored. Whoever decided not to stick this into a prime Oscar Bait release date should be castrated at once!

Number 98: Batman



Hmmm filled with juicy Burton Gothica! Is it miles off the comics? Probably, I dunno never read them but Nicholson could chew scenery all day and that’s enough for me.

Great pick. I have it on HD DVD and it looks like it was shot yesterday. The transfer is really stellar.

Number 97: The Rundown



Film is about a lot of things, and one of those is pure unfiltered fun! The Rundown fulfils my silly mindless fun quota several times over; even Sean William Scott is on the lower levels of the annoying scale in this, amazing!!

Number 96: The Omega Man



One of several Apocalypse style films in my list, it’s a genre I’m willing to forgive flaws in unlike others. Still you have to love Heston’s colossal ego in this thing, right down to the Jesus Christ Pose at the end. All those deserted city vistas compensate though.

Oh I'd say **** like most everything else on my list.

I may be wrong on this one, but I don't think a paint gun is all that great for defending yourself against the undead. I have a feeling things didn't end well for good ol' Heston.

Number 95: The Hudsucker Proxy



Sooooo left field loonyville genius, and yet ignored by the majority of the public. The Coen’s deserved better damnit!!

You damn dirty ape!! (remembers I forgot Apes on list) SHITE!!

Number 94: Batman Begins



About as far as you can get from the day glow lunacy of Batman & Robin (which I oddly enjoy when combined with Crystal Meth and pure Oxygen) this film is as sombre as a funeral parlour packed with ……………..sad people. Still its adrenaline pumping when it wants to be, and even the waxen mask of Christian Bale is on full entice mode!

100. The Searchers
99. Zodiac (haven't seen it yet)
98. Batman
97. The Rundown
96. The Omega Man
95. The Hudsucker Proxy

Number 93: Pisma myortvogo cheloveka (Dead Man's Letters)



Yes I’m serious, it’s a real film!! Even has an IMDB profile look http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091759/

Unfortunately this film is as impossible to track down as a clean hooker in the backstreets of Bangkok……………(disclaimer at no point have I partook in Bangkok hookers, Amsterdam all the way for me). But anyways film, its one of the Nuclear War thingies, yet it’s told from a Russian perspective hence it’s…………well refreshing………..and at points barmy. The nuclear bomb sequence chills though. Only reason I still have a VHS player is because of the copy of this I found.

Number 92: Dog Soldiers



Oh Neil Marshall how I love you, let me count the ways.

Splattering gore: Check
Brit Cynicism: Check
Werewolves vs. Soldiers Smackdown: Check

My hunger for horror comedy has been sated………….for now!!

that dead man's letters poster is glorious.

as is Hudsucker Procksy.

Number 91: Brokeback Mountain



This film makes me all sad and depressed……………which is undoubtedly its intention the cruel swine!! Have to admit on a personal note I’m always still surprised by the amount of people I recommend this film to who scoff at me and say they don’t want to watch a film about gay cowboys! Strange one that.

Eating pudding, no less.

Number 90: Amores Perros



And early effort from that Babel director (I’m not even going to try and spell his name) but unlike Babel where I felt the urge to hurt babies in rage afterwards this film gives me one of those smug, “I loved a piece of world cinema” feelings. All the dog abuse and misery is a bit much though.
