Thanks. Well, onto the top 100.

Ok, I admit I manipulated the grading so that all of the top 100 would be over 8.0.

8.0
In order:
89 Being John Malkovich (1999) 8.0 - I was suprised that I liked this so much more then Eternal Sunshine, and I'm not sure why. For some reason I was extremely entertained.
90 Terminator 2 (1991) 8.0 - Easily the best of the franchise IMO, and one of the best action films ever made.
91 Lantana (2001) 8.0 - I tend to like ensemble dramas like this, still this was one of the best.
92 The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) 8.0 - Exhilarating. Thrillers rarely make me nervous, but this one did.
93 Road to Perdition (2002) 8.0 - Good drama
94 Traffic (2000) 8.0 - Gladiator and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are still better. :razz: Oops, I've said too much.
95 Spartan (2004) 8.0 - Great thriller, and it features Veronica Mars, something I did not know until I checked IMDB.
96 GoodFellas (1990) 8.0 - I think it might be a bit overrated, but still great.
97 Run Lola Run (1998) 8.0
98 Akira (1988) 8.0
99 Chinatown (1974) 8.0
100 My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) 8.0 - I'm not really sure this belongs here. It's been a while since I've seen it, and while I thought it was hilarious the first time, since then I have come to remember it less fondly. Perhaps if I see it again it will drop out of my top 100. Well actually, that will happen with the next great movie I see. :wink:

I actually thought this one was more thrilling then Das Boot, although I would rank DB ahead overall.

I watched it recently for a second time, and it was better then I remembered. Otherwise, I would have it ranked 7.6-7.7.

It's been a while, but I had this ranked #6 of 2001.

Nothing against Kill Bill, but I would rank this ahead. I think this is underrated among QT's films.

I'm actually in a way suprised that I'm ranking the LOTR films so high since I'm not happy with the way they differed from the books. But, they were so well made.

Not enough room in the top 100 I guess. :wink:

I've noticed in looking at my top 100, that I not only have a preference for certain genres, but many of my top films contain a certain element. I wonder if anyone can notice the trend. Well, so far it actually hasn't really shown up much.

T2 and Goodfellas :wink:

I'm waiting to see how high you are placing those two, as well as Hero and House of Flying Daggers. :wink: And the rest of your top 5 last year.

8.1
In order
79 Die Hard (1988) 8.1 - Great action film. Even better then Jet Li's Meltdown (Also excellent at 105), which seems like a remake.
80 Seven (1995) 8.1
81 Scream 2 (1997) 8.1 - I was suprised that I liked this sequel nearly as much as the original. One of my favorite trilogies. This is also one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
82 Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 8.1 - Certainly an improvement over FOTR IMO.
83 Minority Report (2002) 8.1 - Generally great although the ending was a bit weak. Still, it was much better then A.I.
84 Wicker Park (2004) 8.1 - I was shocked when I rented this; I was expecting to to be mediocre at best. I definitely found it to be suspenseful. This seems to be a love or hate movie. I actually did love it.
85 The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 8.1
86 The Life of David Gale (2003) 8.1 - Another love or hate film. I thought it was a very entertaining thriller.
87 Dressed To Kill (1980) 8.1
88 Apollo 13 (1995) 8.1

Very pleased with these selections. Although i feel Se7en, Die Hard and Minority Report is too low on your list.

Hey Riggs, did you see Wicker Park?

You know, I took what you said seriously, so i hope it was. I've sent you three pm's already and they are still in my outbox. :???:

Check your pm box, there are some websites, numbers, and you really, I told you exactly what I think. I hope it helps?

Both rated R. :razz:

Actually, most of my top 100 are R.

So, continuing....

8.2
In order
68 City of God (2002) 8.2
69 I, Robot (2004) 8.2
70 Dances With Wolves (1990) 8.2
71 The Bourne Supremacy (2004) 8.2
72 Spartacus (1960) 8.2
73 Finding Neverland (2004) 8.2
74 Body Heat (1981) 8.2
75 Indecent Proposal (1993) 8.2
76 American Beauty (1999) 8.2
77 Swordfish (2001) 8.2
78 Das Boot (1981) 8.2

GREAT to see City of God on there. And I actually really liked Wicker Park too...

All great movies. Some of those rankings might be a bit suprising.

Oh, yes, City of God was brilliant. It certainly felt real. The documentary that's on the DVD was also very interesting. It's amazing, the contrast between the two different sides of Rio.

Oh, and I'm glad to know somebody else here liked Wicker Park. :wink:

Yep. I surprisingly enjoyed it very well. Graded it B or B-, I think. I was just shocked to see it in your Top 100.

Yeah, me too. I can't believe I have it so high. When I was making the top 100 part of me said that I should drop a movie like that to save me the embarassment. But, I decided to rank them exactly as I liked them. I don't know why, I liked it so much. Maybe the mere fact that it's a drama/thriller played a role. :wink:

We seem to agree quite a bit.

I would have Dances with Wolves higher. My problems with the movie were not so much the movie itself, but the cultural biases and common misconceptions it seemed to perpetrate. But, certainly a great film. :wink:

Not bad my friend, not bad at all... :wink:

I still need to see the bourne films and I plan on seeing neverland eventully.

Oh, you got to see them, especially Bourne. :wink:
