Pretty good list. Although I cant see how one could like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Contact more than Pulp Fiction and American History X. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Other than that, good list, my man.

Well, Vic, you know Willy Wonka is just a movie I grew up watching all the time. I hold a special place for it. Also, I live very close to Gene Wilder and have talked to him about the film so many times that I have more appreciation for it.

[ColinM]

An alright list, even though many of your pics are either "just OK" or "just good" movies and not great ones IMHO.

Since there are half a dozen threads with a similar topic (TOP 100 MOVIES) in this forum at the same time, we've decided to close them all in the hopes of letting other list topics through. We've also created ONE BIG THREAD for everyone to add their TOP 100 lists respectively. Thanks for understanding, thanks for not taking this personally and now feel free to cut & paste your TOP 100 MOVIE LIST into this new thread: http://www.joblo.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/003254.html
