I think you should leave it going for another week or so at least. You can't put together a "top 100" list with only about 20 people voting.

[Rashid]

Sorry for the late entry, but this took me a long time to make.

In no particular order and including only 1 movie in a series/trilogy:

01) The Wizard of Oz (1939)

02) Casablanca (1942)

03) Forrest Gump (1994)

04) Back To The Future (1985)

05) The Titanic (1997?)

06) Edward Scissorhands (1990)

07) Clerks. (1994)

08) Aliens (1986)

09) Clue (1985)

10) Scarface (1983)

11) Clockwork Orange (1971)

12) The Lion King (1994)

13) The Shining (1980)

14) Pulp Fiction (1994)

15) The Exorcist (1973)

16) Shrek (2001)

17) The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

18) Kill Bill v.1 (2003)

19) The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003)

20) Finding Neverland (2004)

[apsham]

I think you should really rethink the whole point system, I don't know but 20 for 1 and 1 for 20 just seems SO inbalanced that it's not even funny. Either way, the list of ApSham is as follows... oh it's always so hard to do this shit. And some would say too early for Clerks II to be on my list... fuck you.

1: Mallrats (1995)

2: Clerks (1994)

3: The Warriors (1979)

4: Chasing Amy (1997)

5: Clerks II (2006)

6: Godfather (1972)

7: Fight Club (1999)

8: Haggard: The Movie (2003)

9: Back To The Future (1985)

10: Godfather II (1974)

11: Jackass: The Movie (2002)

12: The Rundown (2003)

13: Walking Tall (2004)

And that's about as far as I want to go really, the other movies I could think of to put on here could've gone in any order, just being the generic but funny comedy movies with the Ferrells\Wilson\Stiller trifecta.

[gunnar hendershow]

I do agree the point system is unbalanced. I'd prefer it based on a .5 instead of 1 whole point scale.

10 for 1, 9.5 for 2, and so on.

10 for 1, 9.5 for 2, and so on.

But wouldn't that be exactly the same as the system i was using already, only using 0.5 instead of 1, so it is still going up at the same proportion? In effect it is used to seperate two or more entries that are relatively close to each other, so the ranking scheme works easier. Although i'll take them ideas into considreation next time (Y)
