has anyone noticed that the lord of the rings trilogy is not a film?

IT IS THREE FILMS!!!!

surely a 'professional' piece of 'journalism' would know that!

Hey Simon, although I agree with you, maybe they ranked all 3 films as Number 9?

I am actually working on my Top 10, this is gonna make me want to finish that list!

I agree, Goodfellas is in the number 1 spot? I was hoping "Godfather" would have made it to No. 1.

Rich, John: What if The Movie Blog comes up with a Top 10 list of their own based on poster's votes? *winks*

While I might not exactly agree with the list, I do like it. It's nice to see a magazine actually pick what they personally think is the best to them. Not what is the best from a technical standpoint or what should be considered the best. I'm tired of seeing The Godfather and Casablanca top every damn list their is and completely ignore any movie made after 1990 that isn't called Pulp Fiction.

Any list which puts the LOTR in top 10 greatest movies of all time while putting Lawrence of Arabia at no.77 is not really worth seriously discussing. To be honest I am confused that a Japansese film that few western people have seen should make number 7 while Fight Club and Jaws (which I adore) are better films than Citizen Kane?

And I thought Shawshank was the big film everybody loved these days?

I really dont know where this list is coming from it does not seem to conform to what you would expect from a popular or a critical choice? It's all over the place!

The Lord of the Rings could be considered one film. Hey the books are often described as one book.

Top 5
1. Kane
2. Maltese Falcon, Psycho, or Shining
3. Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, or Fargo
4. The Pirate Movie
5. Die Hard

Another Top 5
1. He Dies in The End Forever
2. Once More Twice
3. Failure Comes Last
4. Uppity Poor People from the Earth Moon
5. Goonies

Okay, what about this list? *winks*

1. Spartacus (1960) by Stanley Kubrick.
2. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by David Lean.
3. Vertigo (1958), by Alfred Hitchcock.
4. The Godfather Part II (1974), by F.F. Coppola.
5. Artificial Intelligence (2001), by Steven Spielberg.
6. Chimes at Midnight (1965), by Orson Welles.
7. Seven Samurai (1954), by Akira Kurosawa.
8. The Man who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), by John Ford.
9. Pinocchio (1940), by Walt Disney.
10. The Night of the Hunter (1955), by Charles Laughton.

LOL Way to get off the fence with your first Top 5!

Personally I agree that a list like this is better for discussion purposes vs. your standard retread movie list. When AFI came out with their list was there any doubt that the top 3 would be Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Gone With the Wind?

LOTR (They really are one movie, and to me the best ever made.)

Raising Arizona (Still Coen bros. best.)

Fight Club (Just an amazing social commentary, and one of the few films that actually is BETTER than the book it was based on.)

The Princess Bride (Quotable classic to this day.)

Running on Empty (I think I'm the only person I know who loves this movie, but it's just a solid solid film.)

Glengarry Glenross (Loaded with talent, and every one of them gives Oscar-worthy performances, a crime that Lemmon wasn't nominated.)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (You gotta love Terry Gilliam. And Depp on Benicio or unbelievable in this.)

Hoop Dreams (Best sports movie of all time. Tragic and real.)

Good Fellas (If you're flipping channels and it's on, you stop flipping.)

A Few Good Men (Another great film with great performances. I know TNT shows it every other weekend, but it had to make my list. It's that good.)

Simone, where on earth did you get that list from?

Why on earth would AI be number 5?

Number 10, Night of the Hunter is a great film. I almost bought it on Sunday. It definitely deserves a high ranking in a greatest movie list.

Liberty Valance never did much for me.

What a ridiculously arbitrary list.

Hey Richard (not Brunton) was that LOL for me specifically? *curious*

Oh and it aint my list, you wouldnt want to see mine or you'd definitely be ROTFL.

Simone I've tried getting a top list together before, and the responses were poor, worse than the responses for the Movie Blog Oscar winners poll.

However, if the response was good enough I would happily start one. I've been looking at the "Most Disturbing Death Scene" section and I'm thinking of pulling those together for a list.

We could then make up pages for our top lists...

The questions asked were: "What about you? What would your top ten be?"

My top 10 movies are the movies that I never get tired of watching. I own them on DVD because I want to be able to watch them over and over and not wear them out. They are the movies that make me laugh, cry, feel good, scare me or trigger fond memories. A movie doesn't have to be a critical or technical masterpiece to be a favorite movie.

My Top 10 (in no particular order, because my moods change week to week)

Star Wars - A New Hope (1977). The original unremade version. Because the memories of how magical that theater experience was in 1977 is so strong.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)- Olivia DeHavilland, Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone with a sword. Just Pure Fun.

Teacher's Pet (1958) - Clark Gable and Gig Young competing over Doris Day - Who would?

Bringing Up Baby (1938)- Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. IMHO the funniest movie ever made. Even my children love this one.

The Rocketeer (1991). Jennifer Connally when she was knock down drop dead gorgeous. And Bill Campbell strapping a rocket to his back and flying around like a bat out of hell....

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) - John Wayne, Joanne Dru, Indian attacks, the US Calvary and Sgt. Quincannon.

The Quiet Man (1952) - John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, wonderful scenery and one of the best movie fight scenes of all time.

McLintock! (1963) John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. So I like the Duke and redheads and slapstick humor. Get over it.

Singing in the Rain (1952) When I grow up I want to be half as graceful as Gene Kelly and half as funny as Donald O'Connor.

Holiday Inn (1942) Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire dueling over Marjorie Reynolds on a set that makes you want to just move in and stay.

OK, none of these films will ever be considered great masterpieces. But then neither will I. They are just good movies that are enjoyed by an average movie goer. I watch movies to be entertained, not impressed by the acting, the script or the special effects. If I expanded the list to 20 or 30 movies it would be just more of the same kind of movies - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Brigadoon, Chism, Young Frankenstein, Father Goose, They Died with Their Boots On, Captain Blood, Captain Horatio Hornblower, Shrek, Lion King, Psycho, etc.

It's not that I dislike newer movies, I just prefer the older ones. Maybe they stick in my mind and heart because I have seen them over and over. Maybe after a few more years some of the newer shows will creep into my top 10 also. But by then they won't be new movies anymore....

New to the board, but not to the business. A top ten list is so subjective, but what the hell. Here goes.

1. Raging Bull
2. The Wild Bunch
3. Godfather's 1 and 2 (I know they're separate films, but the LOTR
trilogy rule applies.)
4. The Searchers
5. Chinatown
6. Cabaret
7. Kwai
8. How Green Was My Valley
9. Sunset Blvd.
10. Kane
11. The Hustler
12. Becket
13. Liberty Valance
14. The Last Detail
15. The Wizard of Oz
16. His Girl Friday
17. The Best Years of Our Lives
18. Hud
19. The Set-Up
20. Touch of Evil

Sorry, got carried away. I stuck with all English speaking films, as subtitles tend to take me out of the picture. A list could be compiled of the 100 best foreign films (non English speaking) and it would be just as impressive as any 100 best English speaking films.

I really got tired of reading stupid movie lists with stupid titles lately. People should make a distinction between "BEST movies of all time" and "FAVOURITE movies of all time". And not only movies - cartoons, TV series and whatever list someone may come up with, he should make a distinction between BEST and FAVOURITE.

When you are talking about "BEST movies", you should do it from a critical position, trying to be as objective as possible. Like the members of the Oscars jury are supposed to be. You should have clear arguments to argue your point, based on acting, screenplay, direction, cinematography etc.

When you are talking about your "FAVOURITE movies", you don't have to prove anything - they are the movies that had a lasting impression on you, that struck the right chord in you.

For example: Star Trek The Next Generation is superior in almost every aspect to The Original Series; the stories, the special effects, the acting, the direction - you name it - they have all improved. However, some people have grown up with the old series and are more fond of it. You can say that The Original Series is your FAVOURITE series of all time, but you shouldn't say that it's the BEST.

When you are talking about Revenge of the Sith, it may be your FAVOURITE movie of the year, but it's definitely not the BEST, due to a lot of reasons.

So, people, when you are putting up a list related to movies, please specify if it's made of your FAVOURITE, totally subjective choices, or it's a BEST OF list, where you are speaking from a critical point of view. This way you may avoid questions like "why on earth is X number Y in Z's list".

And before making a "BEST OF" list, ask yourself if you're in a position to make such a list. If you know enough about the subject to have a relevant opinion - as opposed, for example, to someone from South Asia who has only seen the 2 Scooby Doo movies and the Star Wars prequels and he's claiming up and loud that "the American cinema is complete crap!". Or someone who has only seen 1 or 2 anime that just "looked cool" to him and starts creating a "BEST animated movies of all time" list.

Just my opinion.

David, superb for picking up the list, and having the balls to say what your true top ten is.

You know people are right to say that these things are subjective, but in saying that should we stop doing them? Should we not talk about opinion? Of course we should, and we should keep doing the lists because it promotes discussion and probably exposes us to new movies we haven't considered, or old ones we've forgotten.

Paul - cracking list! Same to you Simone, Richard (not me) and FinishDish.

Perhaps we should think about a top ten page and start building our toptens...What do you all think?

In no particular order:
Shawshank Redemption
Ben-Hur
LOTR Trilogy
2001
Wizard of Oz

Richard Brunton: Just to make sure this gets to you directly. *winks* Oh and that Top 10 list aint mine but also from another friend-poster of TMB. And yes, please compile the lists we can make from this one and I agree that although lists are subjective it would be interesting to know the type of films all of us here find as our favourite/best/all-time.

Morbius: Why, what was wrong with "A.I."? Besides that list is personal, and it came from a very good friend whose taste in films I am trying to acquire! *winks* (you know who you are pal)

T-Jax says, "When you are talking about Revenge of the Sith, it may be your FAVOURITE movie of the year, but it's definitely not the BEST, due to a lot of reasons". I am interested to know what these reasons are. Please be kind to me, I am a woman. *smiles*

I like David's list because he mentioned "Star Wars" (MTFBWY!) and Paul's because he had "The Godfather I & II", which you can also see from my own list.

i'm not a film professional, so i cannot pass judgement on that particular top 10 list. i, being a mere 16 years of age, do not appreciate the "Classics" such as Casablanca, Citizen Kane, and The Godfather. Oh, well. Heres my top 25!(Lots of these movies are summer blockbusters, but what would you expect from a ignorant teen like me?)
25.Equilibrium
24.Star Wars IV:A New Hope
23.Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
22.X-Men
21.Tremors
20.MIB
19.Remember the Titans
18.Bruce Almighty
17.Terminator 2:Judgement Day
16.Kung Pow:Enter the Fist(i know its stupid, but it is SO funny!)
15.Shrek
14.Jaws
13.Toy Story
12.The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie(bring it on, sponge-haters!)
11.Airplane!
10.Gladiator
9.The Lion King
8.X2:X-Men United
7.LOTR:The Fellowship of the Ring
6.Pirates of the Carribean
5.Spider-Man
4.Batman Begins
3.The Matrix
2.Raiders of the Lost Ark
1.Jurassic Park

Now that's a list.Bring on the comments!

"Tremors"!!! Graboids!

For a 16 year old, you've got a lot of promise! *winks*

I can't even begin to compile a top ten list--too agonizing--and I haven't seen all the films they've put in the top ten, but from those I have, I would remove Fight Club, LOTR, Star Wars and Jaws from that list; and suggest others like Casablanca, The Third Man and The Hustler as certainly worthier considerations.

At least they have Vertigo--everyone's always carrying on about Rear Window

I agree with what T-Jax said that many people cannot tell the difference between favourite films and best films.

Simone, I did not say ther was anything wrong with AI (though it has flaws) but 5th Best Film of all time? It is not even Spielbergs 5th best film! (For the record I thought the first third of the film was brilliant, the middle third a bit dull and the final third er not really sure what to make of that? Haley Joel Osmont deserved an Oscar though.)

Anyway that clearly wasn't your list you posted, how about giving us your personal choices?

Anyway this is my attempt at a top 40 favourite films list in no real order...

Night of the Hunter
Citizen Kane
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Forbidden Planet

So Joseph, Jurassic Park II was better than JP 1?

(Not to mention Hook, Batman and Robin and Plan 9 from Outer Space!)

Seriously, listing Jurassic Park as one of the 10 worse films of all time is very, very silly. It's not even a bad film, let alone one of the worse ever! The film was a fun rollercoaster ride with a built in science lesson and (at the time) some of the most jaw dropping and ground breaking special effects ever seen. Sure I am sure you can pick a few holes in it but they are not that big! Me thinks you are nit picking as it was a Mega-Hit!

(Amusingly it was made back to back with Schindler's List one of your best films of all time.)

Catfight, catfight! LOL I would love to see what ensues next! ;-)

I am tightlipped about TPM and RotS making it to Joseph's worse list. There's bigger fish to fry here! LOL

Joseph,how the f#*!&%$! h#&* do you put Jurassic Park as you're #4 worst film of all time? I know you're list is completely opinionated, but so is mine. If you didn't notice, it peaks my top 25 list. I'm joining up with Simone.

Morbius, you're list rocks.

My very personal top ten, in no particular order:

1. Monsieur Verdoux, by Charles Chaplin

2. The Incredible Shrinking Man, by Jack Arnold

3. Moonfleet, by Fritz Lang

4. Lust for Life, by Vincente Minelli

5. Freaks, by Tod Browning

6. 23 Paces to Baker Street, by Henry Hathaway

7. The Passion of the Christ, by Mel Gibson

8. Ivan the Terrible, by S.M. Eisenstein

9. The Public Enemy, by William Wellman

10. A distant trumpet, by Raoul Walsh.

To your consideration.

Your friend and neighbour Peter Parker ;)

Oh Brian, I wish you didnt say that to Morbius! LOL

I loved Equilibrium, IMHO way better than the Matrix sequels.

We have another Peter in the board?

Hi Peter, Simone here. ;-)

Thanks Brian.

Your list is pretty good for a 16 year old too! Many of the films you listed are old films for someone of your age.

Mind you many of the films I listed were made before I was born too. (I'm 38) It's never too late to get into old movies. There just out there waiting for new people to watch and enjoy them for the first time.

a lot of the films I got into because of my dad. Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Airplane were just some of the movies he got me into. I wish some better movies came out this year. Being a huge Sci-Fi fan i was so disappointed with War of the Worlds.

Oy Morbius, dont indoctrinate the kid! Leave him alone, he will definitely have good taste, heck he already does!

Peter, I have only seen "Passion of the Christ" from that list of yours. *smiles*

Brian: I am assuming your father is Morbius's age? If not younger?

Maybe you will enjoy Serenity? There, I have made my peace with that movie by plugging it.

I did not put Jurassic Park II or III in my list because I have not seen them, nor will I ever considering how much I loathe the first.

Oh, and Hook kicked ass.

There he is, Joseph's back! LOL

Hey Joseph, out of curiousity, what do you think made JP so loathsome?

Guys I have to sleep! Simone now signing off, I will be back! *winks*

It was annoyingly campy, IMO.

The kids made my ears bleed, it was blatantly predictable, the ending was completely changed from the book, I hated the dialogue. Had it been made with a better screenwriter attatched I probably wouldn't hate it so much, it isn't a nil-made film, the production is great (It's Spielberg, what else do you expect) I just didn't like it.

well, since you read the book, i'll let your hate of it pass. I heard the book was much different from the movie. I haven't read the book, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. Thank you all so much for being kind to me. By the way, my dad is 40. I leave you all with a quote from Kung Pow

"Just because someone goes 'AAAIIIEEEE!!!!OOOHHHH!!!', it doesn't mean they're dead."
Thank you, Cleveland! Good night!

How can those films be listed as the best? What are the chosen film's qualifications? It's like a list of fanboy wanking meets "the decade's favorite best movies bandwagon" sensibility.

It's so subjective-- and how many other best movies lists have been compiled? This list is poop. Poop I say!

Simone...why did Star Wars III suck? Because the acting was bad as well as the plot...it looked to be put together hastily...everything was predictable. The visual effects were good but that is about all the movie has going for it. Now as for my favorite movies list of all time in no particular order:
Last of the Mohicans-Great acting and superb plot

Requiem for a Dream-Good message as well as great acting

The Dark Crystak-Killer story and the visual effects for that age were just outstanding (puppets and world creation)

Vanilla Sky-Kick ass plot and superb acting

American History X-Superb plot and acting

Ben Hur and the Ten Commandments-Need I say more!!!

First 3 Alien Films-Scary with great plot and acting

Fried Green Tomatoes-Classic with superb acting

The Matrix Trilogy-Killer story and plot with kick ass visual effects and great acting

Those are my favorites!!!

Oh and to Simone again...I read the book before seeing Star Wars III and that really made the movie suck...the story was somewhat there but so many little things were left out that would have brought the movie together so much better.

Vanilla Sky? Have you not seen the original Abre Los Ojos? That's far, far superior.

I like David's and Paul Hapenny's lists. My top 20 list (in no particular order):
1. 84 Charing Cross Road
2. Chinatown

16. The Way We Were

18. Bram Stoker's Dracula
19. Black Robe
20. Cabeza de Vaca

Wow. That list was full of movies that shouldn't even be in the top 100.

PAX JEDI

May the FORCE be with ya!

Oh and that's very brave saying you didnt like Spiderman 2, neither did I! LOL

Strange that Simone, I started thinking about it and then realised that I review everything on IMDB, so looking at my list...

http://weblog.brunton.org.uk/pages/imdb-votes.html

Wow! I am really surprised about that. However that's not of all time, that's of my time and what I've actually seen and reviewed.

I'll prepare for the verbal slagging now...

We are still waiting for your own list Simone.

If you do not post it then I will provide the board with what I think your fav film list is. ;-)

Guys, here's a thing then. I'm working on a page called The Movie Blog Top Lists, where we'll not only list these discussion posts, but also make the actual lists (which will evolve from discussion of course).

However, I want to ask you how we do it. Do I just go through peoples lists, add them together and the ones with the most votes go on? Sure, but what if we just get screeds of single voted movies - how do I choose what goes in?

Tell me how we can do it.

Oy Morbius, you have no idea what exactly is on my list so quit it! LOL

Hey Rich, you've got some great list there too, and some of your films figure in like my Top 30. I am tweaking them at the moment.

Now after careful deliberation, here is my "temporary" All-Time Top 10:

1. Star Wars (1977-George Lucas), Empire Strikes Back (1980-Irvin Kershner), Revenge of the Sith (2005-George Lucas) This movie shaped my childhood
2. The Godfather Saga - (1972, 1974, 1990) Francis Ford Copolla
Read the book, loved it, saw the movie, loved Al Pacino. *winks*
3. Saving Private Ryan- (1998) Steven Spielberg
4. L.A. Confidential- (1997) Curtis Hanson
5. Casablanca (1942) Michael Curtiz
6. An Affair to Remember (1957) Leo McCarey
7. The Usual Suspects- (1995) Bryan Singer
8. The Untouchables (1987) Brian de Palma
9. Lord of the Rings trilogy- (2001-2003) Peter Jackson
10. Back to the Future (1985) Robert Zemeckis

Oh, that childhood comment was for Star Wars and TESB, as for Sith, it shaped the way I view men. LOL

Hey Rich, why not put together those who has the most number of mentions as their favourite film and then surely we can tweak it eventually and find a better way to present the whole list?

Simone has 16 films in her top 10 film list! Maths is not her strong point I guess! :-)

I have 25!

LOL @ Richard That's right!

Look who's talking, we were only asked to produced 10 and you Morbius produced 40! So seal it! ;-)

So tell me Morbius, regarding my list, you didnt guess that at all, did ya? *winks*

Actually it's 19, you missed adding the LotR trilogy.

Top Ten:
1. Goodfellas
2. Pulp fiction
3. LOTR - The Fellowship of the Ring
4. Platoon
5. Watership Down
6. Spartacus
7. Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back
8. The Incredibles
9. The Shawshank Redemption
