EWB's Favourite Films Of All Time - Votinng Thread

[GA!]

I change my mind all the time, but at the moment, with the rule of one film per auteur...

1. The Truman Show

2. Brazil

3. Shaun of the Dead

4. The 400 Blows

5. Jaws

6. Psycho

7. Eraserhead

8. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

9. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

10. Once Were Warriors

I saw Blue Velvet for the first time on Saturday. I predict after a few more viewings, it will be lodged in the top ten for years to come.

[Walker]

1. A Clockwork Orange

2. Robocop

3. Se7en

4. Raging Bull

5. Double Indemnity

6. Fight Club

7. Memento

8. The Usual Suspects

9. S.N.A.T.C.H

10. Blade Runner

[the machine]

My favorites list is basically "movies I could watch a million times"

1. Memento

2. The Princess Bride

3. The Big Lebowski

4. Chinatown

4. The Room (I've seen it too many times to not include it)

5. Children of Men

6. The Shining

7. Throne of Blood

8. The Fall

9. Suspiria

10. Lawrence of Arabia

Honorable Mentions

* In Bruges

* Beauty and the Beast

* every Chris Nolan movie except Insomnia and Following

* Transformers: The animated movie (childhood favorite)

* every Kubrick movie except Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut

* every other Coen brothers movie

* City of God

* The Third Man

* Vertigo

* about half a dozen Scorsece movies, especially Taxi Driver

* Once Upon a Time in the West/Sergio Leone's work pre-OUATI America

I think some of the movies in the Honorable Mentions category are objectively better then, say, The Room, but I don't love them quite as much.

The Beach is a great film IMO. You and many may disagree of course, but it's basically been one of my favorite films since the day I see it. Brilliant from DiCaprio

Okay, I'll bite. I gotta hear this.

BuddyAwesome is awesome!

[BuddyAwesome]

I try. There's so many movies I love, the list was hard to compile. I probably watch FSM more than about every one higher up on my list, but that's probably because it's one of the only ones on the list the girlfriend actually wants to watch too.

I don't really have an issue with what people put here, but I hate The Beach something chronic. Saw it at the cinema, and to me, it had so little going for it. It also had one of the worst sequences I've seen in a film where DiCaprio turns into a videogame character. Totally stupid and pointless.

[DMN in the House]

I own The Beach.

But only because it came in a two-disc set with Romeo + Juliet, which is visually stunning, and probably should have made my list.

[Meacon Keaton]

I liked The Beach. :/

Not Top-Ten, Top-Fifty, or even Top-One-Hundred worthy, but I enjoyed it. Mainly because I always wanted to live like that, though.

[Jimmy]

I'll leave this open for a few more days and then I'll start tallying up votes.
