Thank you, at last you see the light. It's good, not great. Go see A.I again (but don't pay for it, it's not worth a penny) and you'll see how they've cunningly replaced Haley Joel Osment with a crudely made rocking horse. The joke being it's wooden...oh, forget it.

For Mr Happy - Great Escape? That wasn't made recently. But I do get your point. If you like Raging Bull, go read Raging Plumber, by me, in Prime :-D

Then vote for it!

Oh I know.. Don't worry It's just my usual gripe about top 100's..... Stick Raging Bull in somewhere and I'll be happy.

in a response to misterhappy, the whole point isn't that it's "the top 100 of all time", it's just meant to be "SR's top 100 of all time, anyway i'm just trying to have fun!

The Matrix
Grosse Pointe Blank
Halloween
Goodfellas
Casino
Animal House


and many more

I don't want to spoil the party but if you do a top 50/100 films this type of thing always happens. People vote for films that have come out in the past 5-10 years. This neglects a whole raft of films that are often leagues better. I won't argue if Star Wars gets to the top because that was a ground-breaking series of films. (well, the trilogy) but if Titanic, Romeo Must Die, Road Trip, American Pie or any of that gubbins gets anywhere near the top 100, you shall only confirm my suspicions that polls compiled by the general public, even those in a films forum, are a load of old pap and you should let film critics choose the lists because at least they will produce one with good films, rather than successful ones. Rant over.

You are neglecting a number of monumentally significant films thus far. For instance there is not one single vote for a Scorcese film, or a Kubrick film (unless someone voted for AI grrrrr...) Already you've missed out two ultra significant directors. I know I have more obscure tastes than some and I won't lose any sleep if the Three Colours Trilogy (number 70 in channel 4's poll) doesn't make the top 100, but I'd think that it was a bit of a travesty if you had nothing from Scorcese. Raging Bull is a magnificent film. I vote for Raging Bull 5 times, hopefully that will push it up the poll and lend your top 100 some credibility. You know, you could just rename it the top 100 films from the last 10 years (including star wars) because at least then when the Matrix makes number 2 I'll have nothing to beatch about...

Give people the vote and look what happens!

Me and some dude were talking about this in our history lesson today. We decided that some 5 star films are:

Fight Club
American History X
Private Ryan
Shawshank
Dogma
Shrek (Best kiddie film ever)
Matrix

And we would have got more, if only the teacher hadn't started rambeling about 19th centuary peasents.

Suppose I better put mine in now.

1) Gladiator
2) Lord of the Rings
3) Heat
4) Ronin
5) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (might just have been really impressed by this because I saw Tomb Raider the night before which was awful :-D Could have made it seem far better than it was......but I don't think that's it.)

Just so you know Gaz, I have watched Heat twice recently and I just was not as impressed with it as I used to be. I still loved it but not as much as Gladiator or as Lord of the rings.

And I watched Ronin last night again. DAMN ROBERT DE NIRO TO HELL!!! HE GOT RID OF GOD!

"OH F*** OFF!"
