The RLLMUK Top 100 Favourite Films poll

[SeanR]

the ORIGINAL rollerball, right?

[Paradigm]

Man this is hard. I suppose it comes down to the favourite/best thing. There are loads of amazing films I've seen but I've watched stuff like Die Hard and Predator far more than I have Grave of the Fireflies. The latter is the better film but it's not like I can watch it every weekend. So I'm comprising my list of the movies I will, without fail, watch if they're on TV even if I've got them on DVD:

Grosse Pointe Blank

The Great Escape

Die Hard

Predator

Aliens

Groundhog Day

Singin' In The Rain

LA Confidential

Heat

Star Wars (original trilogy)

The Thomas Crown Affair

Trading Places

The Magnificent Seven

In A Lonely Place

This Is Spinal Tap

In reality I could easily do a Top 100.

[McFly]

1. Back to the Future

2. The Usual Suspects

3. Shallow Grave

4. True Romance

5. The Thing (Carpenter version)

6. Withnail and I

Film 7 - Once Upon A Time In The West

Film 8 - Scarface

Film 9 - The Wicker Man (1973)

[Robbo]

So I'm comprising my list of the movies I will, without fail, watch if they're on TV even if I've got them on DVD:

In reality I could easily do a Top 100.

This is what it's like when you're unemployed: such tasks are accomplished quickly. I've put them into order of first viewed (roughly - I can't remember everything!). All are, again, movies I'd happily watch on TV even if I owned the DVD/had seen it recently. There are some I find magnificent that I have to be in the right mood to watch and so are omitted... even the amazing Blue Velvet requires me to be in a certain state of mind!

Yeah, but the whole point of choosing ten is that it's hard.

I mean, everyone could just list thirty great films or whatever.....but what would be the point?

[sweetdaddyg]

1) Empire Strikes Back

2) Evil Dead 2

3) Anchorman

4) Life acquatic with steve zissou

5) ghostbusters

6) Dawn of the Dead 78

7) The Big Lebowski

Kill Bill Volume 1

9) Battle Royale

10) Ringu

If I could have a number 11 it would be Return of the King...

[Robbo]

Wow. Well done Paradigm, I thought you'd not bother.

I don't see The Life Aquatic in there though, so I'm going to have to mark you down for that.

Now in the remaining 40 minutes go and get blind drunk.
