Post your list of top movies of all-time. You should have at least 5, no more than 20. They don't have to be in order of favoriteness, but I would appreciate that. I will give it a ranking from 1-10 on whether I think it's a good list. If you get a 1, that means you have bad taste and/or should probably watch more movies. If you get a 10, then you have a good list of awesome movies. I also might be so moved by lists as to give out reputation. I'm bored.
I will rank your favorite movies lists on a scale of 1-10

Jaws
The Prestige

At least spice it up some if you're gonna do a silly list. Throw in some obscure shit he's likely never seen, like Colma: The Musical, or stuff that's critically acclaimed like Citizen Kane. Mess with his head.

Hey Espy! What do you think about the movie Chinatown?
Ok, how about a real list then
Star Wars Trilogy (original, non-special edition only)
Schindler's List
Shawshank Redemption
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Office Space
Blade Runner
Dark City
The Matrix
Spaceballs
The Princess Bride
Howl's Moving Castle
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Big Lebowski
Stranger than Fiction
Star Wars Trilogy (original, non-special edition only)
Schindler's List
Shawshank Redemption
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Office Space
Blade Runner
Dark City
The Matrix
Spaceballs
The Princess Bride
Howl's Moving Castle
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Big Lebowski
Stranger than Fiction
There are movies I was tempted to put on the list, like O Brother Where Art Thou, but haven't seen them enough times to know if they hold that strongly for me.
It's almost perfect. Honestly if it had a Luck Dragon in it I wouldn't even have to put The Neverending Story in there.
So then Charlie should make a thread of his list, and put up a poll where we get to rank it 1-10.
7/10. Stranger Than Fiction kind of seems out of place. I did like it a whole lot, though.
5/10 for being consistently bizarre, yet varied. Only movie I've seen on this list is Showgirls, though.
Hellboy? Really? I didn't really like either of those movies. The Dark Crystal is also kind of odd. 6/10
I love Chinatown. 9/10
Do I need to watch Stranger Than Fiction again? Kind of a safe-ish, standard mid-20s nerd list. That's not bad per se, but just, seems like I could guess at this list for half the people on the internet. 5/10
And I think I've posted my Criticker and top rankings on a few occasions.
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Network (1976)
12 Angry Men (1957)

It's a great list full of GREAT films... BUT it's a very, VERY safe list of "Oscar-Gold" dramas, I'd like to see movies that you love that venture outside of that category. Also, No Chinatown? WTF is wrong with you?
A real list, without to much though put into it would probably go more along the lines of (in no particular order):
Chinatown
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Rocky
First Blood
The Neverending Story (Although I'm aware my nostalgia factor stops me from truly judging the film on it's own merits, but it is what it is...)
The Dark Knight
Taxi Driver
The Godfather Part II
Alien
Psycho
Rebecca
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Goodfellas
The Aviator

The ordering is probably not accurate, if you asked me again tomorrow you would get the same movies but almost certainly in a different order

Movies made before '69 is a separate list, bizzotches. I loves me some fuckin' old pitchas.
Also, I should probably mention that The Wizard of Oz (1939 motherhumpers) is the greatest film ever made. I need to get the Blu-Ray sooo badly. I heard the picture on that mother will make you c*m rainbows.

Alright fine, I'll participate. But I warn you, I'm a college student.

Two zombie movies is kind of ehhhhhh but still a really good list. 8/10
Ranking whole trilogies is a cop out move. Major kudos for the original Terminator which I like more than T2 a lot of the time. 7/101: Lord of the Rings Trilogy

It's really lame and weird to think old movies are on some weird different plane. They're still movies! They are very different, granted, but a movie from 1943 compared to a movie from 2010 isn't much different than comparing Hot Tub Time Machine to No Country for Old Men.I'm sorry for the following list.

I like the inclusion of so many comedies. It kind of made me realize my list is maybe a little too heavy. 7/10
They are both social commentary pieces that do different things, not to mention they are just plain radically different films so it's hard to just put one of them down.
I think it's funny he skipped my list.
Yeah, I'm questioning this too, considering Charlie's mentioned people can like bad movies as long as they admit they're bad or some stupid crap, and I'd think he'd have one or two in there that he liked regardless of the RottenTomatoes score. 7th Voyage of Sinbad on my list--I will never defend that as a good movie, but I love it dearly.It's a great list full of GREAT films... BUT it's a very, VERY safe list of "Oscar-Gold" dramas, I'd like to see movies that you love that venture outside of that category. Also, No Chinatown? WTF is wrong with you?

I also noticed this and found it funny. I was wondering whether he'd diss the list over Gremlins being included.I think it's funny he skipped my list.
Gremlins? I assumed it was because of Killer Klowns or What Dreams May Come!
He said "favourite" movies, after all. Not "what movies are the best, in your opinion".

It definitely holds up. Somehow it escaped my lmind when I jotted down my own list.

I could have added movies 11 and twelve to my list since you allowed for there to be up to 20 movies, I just feel strongly that the Lord of the Rings movies are really just one movie cut into three parts due to length issues but if you want them in order then it's "Return of the King", "Two Towers" and "Fellowship of the ring"
Other than that I agree that lumping trilogies or series together is a lame way around running out of space on a list.

That's exactly what I assumed. I'd like to see his list of best movies comparitive to his favorites. I bet it's pretty much the same.Gremlins? I assumed it was because of Killer Klowns or What Dreams May Come!
He said "favourite" movies, after all. Not "what movies are the best, in your opinion".
I didn't consciously skip this one, I just didn't scroll up high enough. looking for lists. What Dreams May Come? Really? I mean, the rest are kind of normal manchild-y movies and good movies. 5/10
Also I didn't rate PhilB's since it's kind of incomplete.
Exactly. The ones on my list are the ones that I'd probably be down for watching on any given day. Just writing that list made me really want to watch one of them. I just might, actually.Gremlins? I assumed it was because of Killer Klowns or What Dreams May Come!
He said "favourite" movies, after all. Not "what movies are the best, in your opinion".
http://www.criticker.com/resource/8054/rankings.txt here's my full rankings thing, every movie I've ever seen. It's not perfect, I'm semi-in-the-middle of reranking a lot of the middle with a lot of stuff I overrated. Pretty much anything from 90-100 is interchangeable. All the ones ranked 90 I just put there in the "top tier" and haven't gone through and ranked it among the top 10%/great of all time movies.
And this is why you don't have a right to judge things that others enjoy. Manchild-y? Iron Giant and Incredibles aren't amazing movies? Or do you mean Gremlins, the movie that I never get tired of watching and grew up on, and now have a very fond memory of watching it with my niece just this past Christmas for the first time. Let me tell you why What Dreams May Come is one of my favourite movies, though:
Because of my ongoing battle with depression, thoughts of suicide are constantly, constantly on my mind. And every year, I watch this to remind myself (being a semi-religious person) that there might just be something beautiful beyond death. And if I desecrate that by killing myself, I could wind up in a world much like Anna. So yeah, fuck you and whatever your opinion is of What Dreams May Come. I watch and love it because it's a combination of the exploration of afterlife beliefs and my own battle with my self-esteem. It has nothing to do with whether it's a "good" movie or not.
So, fuck you and your judgemental bullshit.
