I'll save the list for those who haven't read it, but I don't really agree with the placement of some of the list, some too high others far to low.

*Looks at #2.*

... heh heh...

... heh heh ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh lord, this list is hilarious.

#9 is particularly funny too.

Perfect choice for #1, though.

[SeanDMan]

I disagree with a lot of the list, however, I think most of the top ten is actually pretty good, althouigh the order could be swapped around (off the top of my head, I'd switch number two and three, and then switch the new number three with number eight) and move up a movie or two (numbers 48, 45, 37, and 35 are all a little low, one criminally so) and then otherwise the list would be not so bad.

8 should have been 1.... I love that film far too much.

It's also spawned my favourite ever movie quote of;

COP - Your friend McManus told us a different story altogether

FENSTER - Oh, is that the one about the hooker with dysentary?

Personally, of that list, I'd have a hard time putting number eight anywhere but second... I do prefer number one more, and once you factor in the overall effect on the filmmaking world, number three has to be ahead of it as well. I do like selection number two, just not as selection number two... it's more top ten then say number nine, but definitely not top two. And while I agree that number eight is a classic, and definitely should be higher, I disagree with it as a number one.

Still, give me the fucking keys you fucking cock sucker.

#2 just doesn't belong there, and Sideways is far too high.

[apsham]

2 belongs there, what are you people smoking? Excellent number 1...4 and 5 as well.

[DFF]

Pah. Usual Suspects should be top of that list... not languishing in 8th place.

[Mysterio2000X]

Am I the only one who didn't like The Descent or something?

#17 should definitely be higher, that movie's awesome. Out of the top ten, #9's the only one I have a problem with (out of the ones that I've actually seen).

Who financed the Terminator?

#2 is a decent movie when separated from the ridiculous amount of overhype it gets. But honestly, it's quite possibly the most overrated movie of the decade thusfar.

#1 is kind of funny as well, even though I really like it and can see justification in it.

I like Donnie Darko, but I think Usual Suspects should have had its spot. Possibly the first spot even.

[punky]

Swingers should've been higher, baby.

[VerbalPuke]

Wow, I am quite shocked that #10 made this list, let alone the top ten. It's really a great movie and was a sign of things to come when dealing with Scorcese and Deniro's future.

I was hoping to find Romper Stomper on the list, but it was not to be. Romper Stomper's one of the best films I've ever seen and seems to get very little notoriety.

#48 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. #45 should have been higher, although the second and third movie of the triology were much better.

Has anyone see Pink Flamingos? My gay friend was telling me that I should watch it but I never gave it any thought.

[gunnar hendershow]

#17 should be in the top 10 dammit!!! That's one of my favorite movies ever.

Oh, and I'm pleased with #1, not so pleased with #2. It should be on the list, but not that high.

[Mysterio2000X]

#17 should be in the top 10 dammit!!! That's one of my favorite movies ever.
