ps, if I'm wrong its because I have no idea. If I'm right, its because I am god. I just remember someone around here really really loving Chinatown, in a best film ever sorta way, and whoever it is isn't someone I'd know offhand. :o

Come Yoshue let me tickle your emotions with simplistic snippets of Vietnam and the AIDS virus, you can't resist my saccharine grip.

Yup excellent movie, I'll forget the fact i get reminded of a certain shitbrained BOM poster when I see it.
Fun varied list overall Magnus Bravo.

It's this disturbing look at life but what it does that other films have failed at is that it shows that there is hope, and there is a will to live. Some films have this dark look on life, but give no or very little hope. Se7en is this dark film, but has hope in it. It shows that life is hard and painful, but it is worth living still.

It's more impressive, though, since I only see 10-15 movies in the theaters every year.
Though many of those are some of my favorites as well.
While I scratch my head on the "most important film ever" about Seven, it's 5 or 6 on my top 10 all time list.
I could never make a top 100 list, though, so I couldnt say for sure how many of yours would be on it. _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."

Magnus wrote: 10. The Lion King Best kids film ever made. Soundtrack is the best ever in a non-SW film. A classic that will live on forever. i saw this one for the first time yesterday and didnt think it was very good. of course the animation is great, but the filmmaking itself is devoid of any art - when you compare it to snow white and the seven dwarfs, it pales in comparison. i guess walt disney himself wouldnt like it.

ok ima start.
#100
ELF
2003 surprise blockbuster is one of my holiday faves. I love christmas films, and I love comedys, and this and great example of blending the two genres, unlike many failed attempts. Ferril is gold and plays off well with Caan, which made from the of the funniest, yet touching films Ive seen in a while. Also has a great score. _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.
