RESULTS: EWB's Top 50 Movies

[Skummy]

It's still a fucking awesome movie, don't think that I believe otherwise, it's just Alison's character at the end that I dislike.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I love it until the very end when my favorite character is ruined, but that doesn't take away from how great everything leading up to that point is (... except maybe Anthony Michael Hall acting like he's a blues musician. That was kind of lame).

[619 fan]

All I'm saying is that 'The Breakfast Club' better be ranked here somewhere, it is an iconic film that really is the pinnacle of the 80's teen movie boom period!

I dunno, the moment Ally Sheedy's character sold out the movie died a bit for me. I'm more of a Heathers man myself, though obviously it had nothing on the impact and success of the Breakfast Club.

It was lame, but isn't that the point since he is lame?

Touché. It was lame and unfunny, wherein lied the problem.

Sweet, I got Snakes on a Plane on the list <_

[NobBe Nobbs]

This list is horrible, and all the 14 year olds on EWB know nothing about good movies.

Seriously, 90% of the shit on this list above Citizen Kane? Its been voted the best fucking movie ever made, consistently, for a reason! Fuck, and thats not even talking about movies I actually like... Snakes on a Plane better than Fear and Loathing or Full Metal Jacket? Fuck, with the way this is going, Ready to Rumble is going to be number one.

25. The Godfather

"I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone."

2006: 33 (+10)

22. Batman Begins

"They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me."

21. Apocalypse Now

"The horror... the horror..."

[Guest chatterbox]

Hurray for S.N.A.T.C.H. Guy Richie's best film (i know that isn't saying much). I love that movie enough to get me arrested.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ahh Snatch, Godfather, Oldboy, Apocalypse Now all excellent films. batman Begins was good too - definitely the best batch so far.

[Fitzy]

The Godfather and Apocalypse Now make that a great bunch right there. The rest, meh.

[GoGo Yubari]

Every movie that I've seen in that group I absolutely loved (Apocalypse Now is in my queue list. God only knows why I haven't seen it yet, it's like how I didn't see The Godfather until this year). My only qualm is that aside from Batman and maybe Oldboy, all of them should be just a little bit higher.

[DMN in the House]

Snatch is such a badass movie.

[zero]

Batman Begins, not only the greatest comic book movies ever made, but in my opinion, one of the greatest movies ever made, period. I just watched it again over the weekend and was reminded of how truly amazing it is. If I was stranded on a desert island and had to take only a couple movies I could watch over and over again, Batman Begins would be on that list.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Disappointed that the Godfather's so low, pleased that Oldboy has risen from last year and very glad Apocalypse Now made it on. I was getting worried. I'll also say that I'm very surprised at the amount of entries this year that didn't make it on last year; three of those last five were missing, including Snatch.

[The Hardcore Canuck]

Because I love you guys, here's another update.

20. V For Vendetta

"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot."

2006: Did Not Rank

18. American Beauty

"I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery."

2006: Did Not Rank

18. Sin City

"This is blood for blood and by the gallon. These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back! There's no choice left. And I'm ready for war."

2006: 8 (-10)

17. Clerks

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

V for Vendetta shouldn't be nearly that high, and I think Sin City's a bit high too. No objections to the other ones, though.

[Fitzy]

Clerks is horrible, so it's nice to see it fall out of the top ten, but still way too high. Clerks II is so much better than that. But they both are still overrated.

[zero]

I'll be slightly nitpicky and say it should have went: V For Vendetta, Sin City, Clerks, Seven, American Beauty, but yeah, that's a great set. V For Vendetta is criminally underrated and the rest are modern classics with American Beauty topping them all as just an amazing movie, regardless of timeframe.
