1. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch, 2001)

So, 44 out of 100. A bit of recency bias, clearly, though I think it's funny that with that factored in neither Birdman nor The Revenant made the cut. I do find it interesting that Grand Budapest Hotel is the highest Wes Anderson; I enjoyed it but didn't think it held a candle to Moonrise Kingdom or Tenenbaums. Boyhood might be a little high but then I really really really loved that movie.

Considering how many Pixar movies showed up, I'm surprised that Up wasn't there. I also would have liked to have seen Django in there, and there are a couple movies that I couldn't stand that made it in but the list is what it is and I know why they're there.

EDIT: I fucking love that Zodiac is the highest David Fincher, also. That's 100% correct.

I have too much spare time. Also quite surprised that A Prophet was in the list, not because it was a bad film, I thought it was brilliant, just didn't think it was that big. And I know Jimmy will hate me but I have no idea how Mullholland Drive is so well liked.

Yup, that they did. I enjoy them but they really rinsed it out. That said, the first one was great. Perfect cinema and popcorn film.

Hah, this doesn't bother me at all. People can like whatever they want, I'm up for a debate about films & all that, but film is so subjective so who cares whatever anyone likes. 

I, persoanlly, hate you for many other reasons

I wonder what the top 100 films of all time by the same people would be? If The Third Man isn't in the top 10 then I despair. Its even free and legit on youtube! Go watch it now.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It blows my mind a little that Her's already a 3 year old film.

42. Would've been more but there's at least 10 I have on my hard drive at home that I never got around to watching (AI, Zodiac, Dogville, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, etc). I own The Master on Blu-Ray but I've not seen it.

Zodiac is really good. Dogville, I didn't enjoy. I don't really get Lars von Trier.

Probably my favourite film of all time, but then again my favourite films are The Third Man, Casablanca and Die Hard (one of those is not like the others >_>).  Apart from the cold war references it has aged so well. I think it is a masterpiece. And the classic score on the zither thingy.

It's a pretty interesting film, but it's not even close to my top films of all time, or even of its period.
