GREATEST 25 FILMS OF ALL TIME...

[Cable Guy]

I didn't want to put up a top 50 because I felt many of the films on it didn't deserve to be on it and deserved to be on the lower half of the hundred. So i've released off the top of my head a rough draft of the greatest 25 films of all time. I haven't seen many films, there are some LaBute films i'm wanting to see also a Solondz film. I haven't seen some Spike Lee stuff (Do the Right Thing, Malcom X) or Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown'. If anyone has any suggestions then please write them down and i'll rent them, i'm talking obscure films that i wouldn't normally know off the top of my head. Here is the list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HONORABLE MENTIONS: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The Empire Strikes Back, This is Spinal Tap, Platoon, Being John Malkovich, Rushmore, It’s A Wonderful Life, The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, The Cable Guy (I LOVE THIS MOVIE)

Cable Guy...nice list bra. I dig that you included "The Producers" a real bonafide classic. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are phenomenal and the whole thing is hilarious. I can't disagree with the rest of your list either, although mine would probably differ some. You show great taste...keep it up /ubb/wink.gif

[Cable Guy]

Thanks Brock, i'd love to see your list sometime. I'm quite interested in knowing what you think are the greatest flicks ever. Do you have any suggestions for flicks I should watch that I might not have heard of?

[Brock Landers]

here's some of my favorites...I got a longer list somewhere, but these oughtta hold you for a little while... by the way, if you wanna ask any questions about them, I'll be happy to answer...

Whoa! That's one of the better lists I've seen. You have good taste.

Very very solid list dude, if you would have had ''A Clockwork Orange'' there (are you the guy that said it was ''laughable''??) It would have been very close to what my list would look like! But overall, great list!

I like the films in your list, but where is Star Wars?

[Cable Guy]

Empire Strikes Back is on the honorable mentions... soooooo much better than 'A New Hope'...
