June 16, 200917 yr Solaris Tarkovsky or Soderbergh? I'm on 80 now, it's really hard since there's so much I'm accidently leaving out. It's too hard, 90 now, but still no buster keaton or charles chaplin?? So many accidently left out, but I can't remove anything I've got so far. :thumbdown: Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

June 16, 200917 yr I find the lack of Boondock Saints to be disturbing. Couldn't agree more! Such a good movie. ;>
June 16, 200917 yr Author I don't have any idea how voting should be done though. Ten votes per person, only one vote may go toward each movie. Once we hit (Five or ten?) votes on a movie, it is an official member of the list. Anybody have a better idea? UPDATED Also, I think maybe we should do something like have a negative vote system, five per person, only one toward each movie, but once the movie gets negative five votes, it's off the list. Everyone can vote as many times as they like as long as it is after two other people have voted. Those Rules work?

June 16, 200917 yr Tarkovsky, of course :) You never know these days. I only noticed Stalker, and Mirror. No Solaris man? I'm disappointed.. And ya, not many people would be interested in the 72 version. If you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

And ya, not many people would be interested in the 72 version. I'm sorry. I already had two Tarkovsky movies, and there's not that much space. I'd rather mention something different that I like just as much or even better. :) And you already promoted it, so no need to worry.

June 17, 200917 yr Yeah, not going to lie. People are suggesting some absolutely terrible movies for this. If it's going have Tip.it's name on it, we better have a fair system for putting movies on the list. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
June 17, 200917 yr Titanic :thumbup: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind LOTR: FotR I forgot Titanic! One of the best movies of all-time.
June 17, 200917 yr I always thought star wars episodes II IV and VI were the best. I also liked gran torino and Miracle at St. Anna
June 18, 200917 yr Yeah, not going to lie. People are suggesting some absolutely terrible movies for this. If it's going have Tip.it's name on it, we better have a fair system for putting movies on the list. Care to point them out? If you're going to make a claim like that, at least put some weight behind your words.

If you're going to make a claim like that, at least put some weight behind your words. He does have a point, especially with those kid movies like Shrek and Toy Story. I don't think they're terrible but they definitely shouldn't belong in a list of "must see" movies. I think it would be pretty hard to come up with a solid system though because it's purely subjective. But if you were to ask me, only movies with deep and meaningful stories and aren't only there solely for entertainment purposes?

I've compiled a list of movies I think should not be anywhere near a top 100 movie. 8. Thunderball 14. Gattaca 15. Major League 16. Life of Brian 17. The Hangover 24. Dark Knight 26. Donnie Darko 33. The Fifth Element 41. Shaun of the Dead 49. Eagle Eye 50. Up 52. Rush Hour 53. Rush Hour 2 54. Rush Hour 3 56. I am Legend 57. The Iron Giant 87. Ferris Beuler's Day Off 88. Borat "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."

Borat :lol: There goes all my movies. I find it weird you rule off Shaun of the Dead and leave Hot Fuzz up there. I dont see why Life of Brian is not good enough though. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

But the thing is that this list is a "100 movies to see before you die. " Not a top 100 movies list. Most of those movies you compiled into your list are very watch worthy, even if they don't have a deep storyline or good character development.
June 18, 200917 yr I thought Borat, Donnie Darko and the Dark Knight were excellent films. I;m surprised you ruled them out. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!
