Voted for by the British public. There are some strange inclusions (My Beautiful Launderette)and some omissions (Fish Called Wanda). It's a particularly 'British' list. I wonder how many non-brits have seen the likes of 'Kes', 'Get Carter' or 'The Italian Job' & how does 'Fitzcarraldo' get in so high?

Yey SW #1
[warm fuzzy feeling]

I have seen about 10% of the movies on this list. I recognise most other titles but there are also a good number I never heard of before.

I do not agree with the list. Some of the better movies are ranked lower, and some that should not even have been considered are high ranks!
It is amazing to see what other cultures and places view as good entertainment.

Did you know that Hollywood is the U.S.'s largest export?
We make more money off of our movies and glamor than anything else we export, all around the world.

LOL I've only seen 13 of those films and heard of about 60 of them.

WTF is Star Wars doing at no.1? I'd rate loads of films above that, but I guess loads of people don't agree...

LOL did you somehow expect British opinion to be similar to American? British and American people are very different.

Schindler's list at number nine?!
What is with you brittish people? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I mean, it's a good movie...the first hour, after that, the following three, it's just plain boring! [img]graemlins/1drool.gif[/img]

We now have a Movie forum (now part of the old Books forum)

I'm closing the thread here, and moved it to the Movies forum at:

Thanks!!!

Scary - I have seen 64 out of the top 100 films. Man, I am feeling OLD!!!! [img]graemlins/reallyroll.gif[/img]

I sooooooooooooooo do not agree with this list, I mean where is Scary movie, ok forget that one but how about the Maltese Falcon and Popeye the film, no forget that idea too. I really disagree with the Gladiator one though, it should not be 6 at All
