Top 15 Greatest Movies


iconJohn Hawkins is in list making mode again. He asked everyone which movies they thought were the best. Here is my list. Compare it to the films that actually made the top 15. Apparently I'm the only Kubrick fan. I wonder if the 6 morons that picked The Matrix are the same 6 morons that picked This is Spinal Tap. Both good films, but greatest of all time? Better than African Queen, E.T., or The Graduate?

This was a difficult list to put together. I started with about 50 films, and had to cut it way down.

A Clockwork Orange
African Queen
Blues Brothers
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
Deliverence
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Driving Miss Daisy
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Empire of the Sun
Forrest Gump
Glory
Godfather
Goodfellas
The Graduate
Jurassic Park
Kramer vs. Kramer
Mister Roberts
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Rain Man
Star Wars
To Kill a Mockingbird
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Wizard of Oz

No westerns?

Shane? The Searchers? Once Upon a Time in the West? Or the best of the "Spaghetti Westerns", The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

No?

That list absolutely sucked. Just shows that the VSFC (Vast Sci-Fi Conspiracy) is more pervasive than anyone suspected.

Dorks.

Finally!! Somebody who recognizes "Glory" as one of the greatest films.
It might not be a top 10, but as one of the greatest war movies of all-time, it definately deserves a spot in the top 50.
