JustHatched 12,123 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 According to this site that seems to let you vote on them http://www.thetoptens.com/best-movies/ , see if you agree The Godfather Forest Gump The Shawshank Redemption The Dark Knight Lord of the Rings - Return of the King Pulp Fiction Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back Titanic Inception Fight Club 1 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

LN-MLB 2,583 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Wha...really? No way, I highly disagree. "The Godfather", yes. The others? Well, "Pulp Fiction" rates highly and "Fight Club" was great, but not within the top 10, so no. "The Dark Knight"? "Titanic"? I'm honestly kind of shocked by those choices. Where is "2001: A Space Odyssey"? "Citizen Kane"? "The Seven Samurai"? Arguably most anything made by Akira Kurosawa, Andrei Tarkovsky, or even Ingmar Bergman would beat out most of those for me. Then again, I had better stop before I start sounding like a film snob.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Empire only 7? I thought it was number 1. As it's based purely on online voting it is the tech savvy generation doing the voting. Sorry @LN-MLB Your "old" person choices even though great films aren't going to feature on this list. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/9073-top-10-best-movies-of-all-time/#findComment-141625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That is an awful list! I'm with LN, no Vertigo or Casablanca or anything by Scorsese or Kubrick?!

djw180 7,006 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Any voted list like this is going to be dominated by more recent films and to be honest I'm surprised The Godfather and The Empire Strikes Back made it. English language films are probably at an advantage as well. Titanic has no right being in there (even though I will watch anything with Kate Winslet in). Pulp Fiction is probably the only one of my personal top 10 (not that I really know what they would be). As much as I love Star Wars and think Empire is the best, I wouldn't rate it that highly. Shawshank redemption is very good, for me not top 10 though. I have to admit to never having seen the Godfather, don't know why. Other films I would probably vote for, Bladerunner (directors cut), The Mission, Brokeback Mountain, Cinema Parridisso, 2001, Chinatown, Sense and Sensibility (Ang Lee's version), The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, A Bridge Too Far. But ask me again next month and I might come up with some different ones.

CandyRotten 161 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 To me, that's a bad list. The only films I like on it is Pulp Fiction and Return of the King but even then I prefer The Two Towers.

Sinister 2,583 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I love Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time. Those two and Titanic are the only movies on the list that I have watched.

G37 3,445 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I sort of like IMDB for this. http://www.imdb.com/chart/top?ref_=nv_mv_250_6 However how do you define "best"? By rating on some subjective board? Via meta critic? Or do you go with numbers at the box office? Do you adjust for inflation? Because depending on your answer, something like Gone with The Wind would be very relevant in that list or even Avengers.

Sinister 2,583 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Funny thing is that many of the movies that fill the usual lists were hated when they first came out. The Wizard of OZ for example, it was box office bomb in 1939 that barely made back what it cost to make.

People will flock and pay plenty of money to see the most over-hyped, mass-produced, inflated budget Hollywood drivel with absolutely no story, poor writing, and sloppy acting. For me, it boils down to the quality of the film--story, acting, writing, style, whether or not it opened new doors, something that poses individuals to think deeply about the subject at hand, an experience that will stay with you for days, weeks, months, forever; etc, etc. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to movies though. I'll openly admit it, and I dislike far more than I actually like. That was a primary reason for me slacking off so much with newer films, and I've always pretty much been harsh when it comes to overloaded summer blockbuster films. I don't know if making a numerical list (in order from greatest to least) is fair since I don't think you can compare and contrast distinctly different films, but yes, the modern age seems to have forgotten many of the classics that opened all the doors and were and still are very much ahead of their time. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/9073-top-10-best-movies-of-all-time/#findComment-141695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnaker1981 974 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Ok, my list is also very different. I won´t make a 1-10 list. these are my top 10 favourite movies, but just not in order, and, not the best movies, just my favourite: La vita è Bella, 2001 Space Odyssey English Patient Enemy at the gates The Sound of Music A Clockwork Orange Cidade de Deus The Hunt for the Red October Dances with Wolves Spirited Away. Ok, this is, at the moment, my list. But, if you ask me tomorrow, I might change my mind...

You just never been to prison. ... plus how can something be overrated when it flopped at the box office when it was released? That already disqualifies it.
