How is the list trash because one film you like isn't on it?

Haven't seen Drive, been meaning to see it since it came out, just haven't gotten around to it.

I hate Rocky and I have absolutely no shame in saying that. Raging Bull, and also Million Dollar Baby are far superior boxing films.

I hated The Tree of Life.


Certainly not for every, but I think it's the greatest film that I've seen this decade thus far. (I do admit though, that I've probably seen less than 100 from this decade).

Shut the fuck up

I was out all day.
Typing this up took me less than 20 minutes.
And I watched these over the course of years.
What are hobbies?


I have seen The Sting, it's pretty good.

Didn't read the whole list, but I saw a lot of good ones and I'm glad to see Fantastic Mr. Fox on there.

To be honest, it's hard for me to think of a better movie than that from the last decade or so. And if someone tries to claim that Inception is better, I swear to God

Amazing movie, amazing show.

And Yes Fantastic Mr. Fox would be top 15 all time, not just American. All FUCKING TIME.

It's weird you say that because Beavis and Butt-head is my favorite TV show ever by far (and so I obviously find the movie funny as hell).

LOTR Trilogy, Peter Jackson

I was questioning some of these films being called American but I thought most of them were ok. But this one I don't get unless you're saying films are American because they're backed by American money.

I can't stand the films but they've got a largely British cast and most of the people involved in actually making it outside of the financial side were from New Zealand.
