i would say this film should be in the top: 250 but as itis an average and not my personal choice (terrible) its not in it
i would also include collateral, one of my favourite films of last year
perhaps also gangs of new york

If u wanna see a great movie, see FALLEN, with denzel washington. See it and reply me

[–] dj_finness 17 years ago

Donnie Brasco. Fallen is good, but if we're putting denzel movies let's start with the hurricane and malcolm x.

I saw it several weeks ago.
It was quite good for an ordinary TV film but it cannot be compared with great movies.

Titanic ( way underrated - 7.0 Help God )
The English Patient ( it takes the last place on any poll may be it is not seen as often as Forrest Gump )
Brokeback Mountain
Barry Lyndon
The French Connection
Howards End
The Godfather: Part III ( way underrated )
Eyes Wide Shut
The Remains of the Day

That's pretty much it.

"Titanic ( way underrated - 7.0 Help God ) "

Thank you. One other person on the planet who doesn't smash Titanic without good reason. No other film has ever taken an old story and made is so entertaining and added so many layers of themes in history. No one wants to take the time to see it though as it's easier and more popular to say it sucks.

If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like.

BRAZIL
Adaptation
Lord of War
Bottle Rocket
Team America
South Park
A lot of comedies that deserve to be in there but arent because a lot of people think movies that make you laugh dont deserve to be given a lot of credit...

[–] slrjr980 17 years ago

wow! i can't beleive i'm the first person to mention Blood Diamond. It has a rating of 8.0, but nobody thinks it should be in the top 250?

[–] BigMooseExtreme 17 years ago

if i see boondock saints or armageddon on there again I'm gonna have a *beep* heart attack

Being John Malkovich
Truman Show
Boogie Nights
Minority Report is really cool
Garden State if its not on there already
ALMOST FAMOUS especially
28 days later i think is monumental in modern film

i don't understand how this movie (and royal tenenbaums, i <3 huckabees, man on fire 2004, akira, among others) are not in the top list. insanity.

i don't understand why nic didn't get the oscar. and denzel for man on fire.

wtf?!?!

[–] whothrewthat 17 years ago

unless ALL you people have noticed, the top: 250 is based not only on the how high the film is rated, but also on how many people have rated it, this is one thing, and the other thing is both the top: 250 AND your proposals for what deserves to be in there...i'm not even gonna name them.

[–] TheCarlton 15 years ago

How about The Searchers? That's just wrong...unbelievable that it isn't there.

I'm in agreement on a good number of those, especially numbers 1, 2, 14 and 30. Some of my favorites.

3. adaption

[–] johnmichael-2 15 years ago

In my current top 5:

Eyes Wide Shut
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (though I know there is no way it will ever reach the Top 250)
The Sound of Music

There are tons of others, but I don't have the time to include them all right now. :D
