Three films I've never seen and am waiting for the perfect setting: The Apartment, Lawrence of Arabia, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
BTW: This list is all jacked-the-f*ck-up and when you consider how much time I put into it. I'm leaning strongly towards Top 100 Greatest English speaking films of all time presented in alphabetical order. I figure if you were to do a Top 100 greatest songs of all time, you'd definitely want to do that in alphabetical order. Also, there's these huge blocks or steps where there's not a whole lot of difference in greatness or quality in the film.
Still real excited about owning a 3rd of this site. The remaining stockholders come out ahead because just by having me as an owner, the value of their stocks escalates by more than 50%.

meh. I thought the Graduate was over-rated. Granted, it came out like 20 years before I was born, but even then it doesn't compare to the better late 60s, early 70s films.
Also, I liked The Great Escape more than The Bridge Over the River Kwai for WW2 POW movies. Then again that might be because I saw the Great Escape more as a kid.
I've never heard of "w.i.p." before...how does it decide it's top 100 films? I like IMDB's everyone gets to vote strategy, though that definitely favors later films (like, The Dark Knight is 8 and even though it's a good film, there are a lot of films that have greater legacies...I think it's because more young people use the internet and are more likely to vote for their generation's films).
Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies that I wished it was not in my top favorites. But every time I watch it I say to myself that this is if not the best, one of the top 5, or top 3 movies of all time.
Also, I hate Andy here, so it sucks that he chose his name from that movie.
Does anyone feel that way? I wished that I could say Pulp Fiction or The Godfather I & II were better than Shawshank Redemption.

I don't know what I think about this film.
I guess the problem is that I had read the book before I saw the movie, so I had to be disappointed...
It's still good, but not in my top 5.

After reading your post, I realized i left a not out.
I'm hiring an editor for my posts. Or an English teacher. Pays well.

Shawshank does seem to get better with every viewing.
Also, this list needs The Deer Hunter and Dog Day Afternoon!
No cartoons? Not even Spirited Away?
For older movies, Airplane! is hilarious. For a more modern movie that really stands out to me, I would say Gran Torino.

I am a big fan of Gran Torino as well, but I understand why it wouldn't make the list as it doesn't appeal to many people - movie snobs alike.
