Schmoe's Top 100 Films of All Time (looky)

[bankholdup]

I'd like to organize the Top 100 Films of All Time as voted by the Schmoes. Here is what I ask:

- Respond in this thread stating 50 films that you love, basically your top 50 films.

After I get about 30 something submissions from the junior/senior Schmoes, I will tally them up and we will hopefully have what we can consider the Schmoes Top 100 Films of All Time.

Anybody care to do this?

[Gregorious8]

I'll try it, but I'll need some time to do my list

[Nate6]

Good idea, dude! You sure you want to do this all yourself, though? It'd be a lot of work. If you ever need some help, send me an e-mail.

Sorry fellas, but I don't plan on doing this. The way things are going with this thing, movies with only 2 votes will make the list. That's retarded IMO. Not enough people participated so I'm out. Somebody can pick up where I left off if you want.

[Kastman]

just reverse it. The movie someone puts as first gets 50 points. and so on.


Kastman, you've done it again
