i dont think fight club is that good, i think T1 is better than T2 and you're missing raging bull and Blade Runner.

i can never put films in any sort of order, i can state whats in my top 50 but not where they are really.

You're choices are more contemporary, and I don't see really any older movies that are much better than this bunch. If I were to post my top fifty, it would be all 10's and most of these films wouldn't be on it.

[bskutle]

Good list (for the most part); many of the films there I like. Don't know whether it's a best or favorite list (if it's a best, I would say spend some more time in the Classics section), but overall some good films. I'll put my grade of each next to the film as well.

[cheech]

You included The Unforgiven on the list - shame on you! But then I noticed Commando on nr. 49, so I forgive you.
You need to see The Wicker Man though...

[ColinM]

I'll only grade the ones I've seen.

2. American Beauty (9/10)
3. T2: Judgement Day (9/10)
6. Pulp Fiction (8/10 - although I will have to watch it again to grade it properly)
7. Payback (8/10)
9. The Shawshank Redemption (10/10)
12. Sleepy Hollow (8/10)
13. American Pie (8/10)
15. American Pie II (6/10)
16. Cruel intentions (3/10)
17. Erin Brockovich (9/10)
18. Forrest Gump (9/10)
19. The Terminator (9/10)
20. Aliens (9/10)
21. Pleasentville (7/10)
22. Alien (8/10)
24. Schindler’s List (9/10)
25. Scream (8/10)
26. A Bugs Life (8/10)
28. Jaws (9/10)
31. The Rock (8/10)
32. Jurassic Park (9/10)
38. Heat (9/10)
40. Unforgiven (9/10)
43. Toy Story (9/10)
45. The Fugitive (9/10)
46. The Green Mile (9/10)
47. Toy Story 2 (8/10)
48. Starship Troopers (8/10)
49. Commando (7/10)

If my count is right (it could be wrong), you listed:

1 of my 10/10's
14 of my 9/10's
10 of my 8/10's
3 of my 7/10's
1 of my 6/10's
1 of my 3/10's

That makes an average of about 8. On my 1-10 scale, 8 means very good. So, you have a very good movie taste!

[meccajay]

American Pie....what Gives??

I saw the movie, liked the movie, and would see it again, but I wouldnt make it a top movie on any list, especially not a list containing Pulp, Jaws,Schindler’s List,
Goodfellas, Jurrasic etc.....If you say comedies, I would say it isnt better than any Bill Murray movie Ive seen. I will say that I did like it but I see it listed on this site CONSTANTLY so I figured maybe I missed something...Oh Well.

50.Go - 2/10

Your list has some great movies, but aside from the domination of contemporary movies that someone else mentioned, there is a clear lack of movies made outwith the U.S. or bu U.S Film companies.
you shopuld take a look at overseas cinema - there are many gemms to be found.

a solid list though

CHEECH - The Wicker Man, filmed near where I live, is one of my favourite movies. Nice to hear it getting a mention.

[coolc4242]

What is up with all that Fight Club shit?!?!? That movie shouldnt be number 1 on anybodies list. It was an ok movie but in the end when you think about it, it just didnt make any sense.
