The RLLMUK Top 100 Favourite Films poll

[FishyFish]

I've been thinking of doing this for awhile, so here it is!

Let's see what are the 'muk's 100 all-time favourite films. Voting is easy, just list your fifteen favourite films, and at the end of the month I'll add everything up and compile a list. Simple as that!

Some simple rules:

- Please list 10 films. No more, no less. You don't have to rank them in order of preference.

- If you choose a foreign language film, please include the English title too.

- If you choose a film that has been made more than once, state which version.

- Trilogies & similar may be counted as a single choice. You can still single out specific films as a single vote though - e.g you could have LOTR (overall trilogy), or The Return of the King as choices.

- Please list your choices as follows (so I can easily drop them into Excel or whatever)

Film 1

Film 2

Film 3

Film 4

Film 5

Film 6

Film 7

Film 8

Film 9

Film 10

Film 11

Film 12

Film 13

Film 14

Film 15

If you change your mind on any of them later, edit your original post.

Voting closes on the 31st May.

Remember: This is a poll of favourite films - they don't have to be critically acclaimed / cult movies / whatever, they just have to be your personal faves...

Number of choices increased to 15. Edit your posts accordingly!

My top 10 woud be different tomorrow, but here goes (in no particular order):

1) Robocop

2) Raiders of the Lost Ark

3) 2001

4) Goodfellas

5) Vertigo

6) Jaws

7) Hard Boiled

[therearerules]

1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

2) The Big Lebowski

3) The Royal Tenenbaums

4) Ring (not the remake)

5) Nixon

As an aside, I think you may need a scoring structure. Otherwise a lot of films will have 1 vote, but less than 100 will have more than 1, making it a top 534 or something.

[FishyFish]

Maybe we'll have some sort of tie-break if we get too many 1 vote choices. We can make it up as we go along, depending on how things play out.

I'll add an extra rule about LOTR etc.

I take it you mean the Hitchcock version of The 39 Steps? Plus, Godfather parts 1 & 2 will have to go in as Godfather trilogy or a seperate films I'm afraid.

Of course the Hitchcock one, I doubt anyone in the universe would pick the frickin' Robert Powell one! And as for The Godfather, just use the 1980s chronological combine (which featured extra scenes to boot, fact fans, including Fabrizio getting his outside a pizza parlour!) if you must but there's no way I'm leaving it out and no way I'm including the third film either.

Film 15 Repo Man

Subject to change... probably more than once a day

[SeanR]

If robocop doesn't win, I want a recount, No matter how it turns out, I want Robocop to win. And I want a bigger office. And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!

One with reclining leather seats, that goes really fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage!

You never know, you could be be Robert Powell's biggest fan for all I know! Best to check, just in case.

If anyone else shares Ulala's hatred of Godfather Part III, but wants both of the prequels, either put them as seperate films, or as Godfather Saga (TV version) which is a legitimate seperate entity.

I am Robert Donat's biggest fan! I am hurt and appalled you could even think for a microsecond I'd choose that curly-haired gimp over the great man!

Actually, I don't even dislike The Godfather Part III anywhere near as much as most people. I quite like the fact the further up Michael goes and the harder he tries to get away from crime and corruption the deeper he gets dragged into it, as well as Connie's bizarre 180 into a true family matriarch but dear lord, Sophia Coppola just makes me want to smash the screen in every time she opens her mouth. If only Ms Ryder hadn't fallen ill...it also warrants mention for the simply fabulous suit Bridget Fonda wears at the start.

But yeah, not a patch on the other two.

[cassidy]

1. Evil Dead 2

2. Dawn of the Dead (78)

3. LOTR

4. Empire Strikes Back
