I feel horrible saying this, but As Good As It Gets is at #102.  Nooooooooooooooooooo If only I had seen it before voting...

I'm surprised this didn't crack the list after the 20 pages of discussion in the Everyone's A Critic forum.

 Re: WORLD OF KJ'S 100 GREATEST MOVIES: THE TOP 10!
My top 20: 1. The Passion of Joan of Arc 2. Ed Wood 3. City Lights (#75) 4. Before Sunset (#23) 5. The General 6. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (#28) 7. Singin' In The Rain (#33) 8. Citizen Kane (#44) 9. Nashville 10. Before Sunrise 11. The Producers 12. Children Of Men (#63) 13. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (#39) 14. Sen To Chihiro No Kamikakushi (Spirited Away) (#69) 15. Star Wars (#11) 16. The Manchurian Candidate 17. The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (#1 (I honeslty don't know why I thought it needed it...) 18. Babe 19. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (#15) 20.Metropolis So, hit and miss. My votes for City Lights and Before Sunset obviously helped, but they did no good for The Passion of Joan of Arc, Ed Wood, Nashville or The General.

Alex: The fact is most of The NEw World's thread is the small group of supporters orgasming about the film and defending it from Zing and Da Torri, and eventually a bunch of people going "eh." I re-submitted my ballot after watching it though?
