EWB's Favourite Films Of All Time - Votinng Thread

[Jimmy]

I've been interested in doing this list for a while now. And after some discussions in the Oscar Threads about the quality and comparissons between certain movies, it seems like an appropriate time to do this list. Quite simply, what're your 10 favourite films of all time.

List your votes from 1-10. #1 receiving ten points and #10 receiving one point etc.

If there's a been a list like this recently, and I've missed it, then I apologise. Just thought it would be quite interesting to see what EWB's favourite film of all time is.

Hopefully there's enough interest to get a good list.

1. This is Spinal Tap

2. The Shawshank Redemption

3. Ghostbusters

4. Raising Arizona

5. Big Fish

6. The Princess Bride

[Pesci]

Only 10 choices is excruciating. I'm doing my Top 10 as come to mind at this minute, and I'm missing off some big films for me.

1. American Beauty

2. Dazed and Confused

3. Goodfellas

4. The Shawshank Redemption

5. Reservoir Dogs

6. Battle Royale

7. Pulp Fiction

8. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

9. Memento

10. The Departed

Pretty strange list for me. I only saw Dazed and Confused last year, and while it may seem a bit flavour of the month, I've seen it like four or five times since then and loved it just the same. Pulp Fiction has slid down massively - it used to be a constant number one for me, then I discovered American Beauty and it became a constant number two, but now... eh. I still love it, obviously, but it's fell down massively in my estimation, and this is the first time I've ranked Reservoir Dogs over it. It's the correct decision, though, since Keitel and Roth >>>>>>>> Jackson and Travolta.

[Benjamin]

I have no idea to narrow it down to ten. I'm gonna' post up my list a little later, and I won't be including any animated shows (Toy Story, WALL-E, etc) and cartoon movies (Lion King, The Fox & The Hound, etc), because then I'd have no space for anything else. Somehow should do a list of that, though. Greatest Animated And Cartoon Movies Of All Time, or some shit like that (I don't know how to properly categorize something like that).

Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Scarface and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon are circulating around the top of my list, though. Or maybe we should do a foregin film list as well, then it can be easier for me to make a top ten.

[Jimmy]

When's the deadline? I'll edit my list in this post as I think it through.

Ages yet. I'll live it open for a good while.

1. Pulp Fiction

2. The Dark Knight

3. Fight Club

4. The Prestige

5. Reservoir Dogs

6. A Clockwork Orange

7. American Psycho

8. American Beauty

9. Mullholland Drive

10. 12 Angry Men

I think that list will change a lot, though.
