Bargaintuan June 29, 2003 7:22 PM	I can't believe someone would rate Return of the Jedi above A New Hope! That's just wrong! Batman: The Movie totally rocks, though. "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"

Ewwwww June 30, 2003 2:25 AM	I disagree, I keep hitting myself because there are so many cool movies on the other lists that arn't on mine. Unless you were saying most of these movies are really old. Which is true.

10. Full Metal Jacket.
9. The Fugitive Kind.
8. Scent of a Woman.
7. The Deer Hunter.
6. Igby Goes Down.
5. Requiem for a Dream.
4. The Graduate.
3. The Seventh Seal.
2. The Usual Suspects.
1. Mrs. Doubtfire.

Some of the previously named would have come close to making this list, but I left them off. I won't name them now... because that would be cheating.

If you haven't seen all of these movies, you should definitely seek out the ones you missed.

Luke gets his hand cut off, Han solo gets taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note, and that's what like is, a series of down notes. All Jedi had was a bunch of muppets"

Those who doubt the greatness of Mrs. Doubtfire are deluding themselves. I mean, you have to have a really big stick up your ass to not crack a giggle when Robin Williams, in drag as an elderly woman, heaves an orange at the back of Peirce Brosnan's head. While social anxieties may prevent you from adoring this movie in public, watching it in privacy will prove most enjoyable. Ya'll don't be so pretentious about obscure cult classics or depressing dramatic films that you miss the wonders of a wholly solid film like Mrs. Doubtfire.

Trippingbillee July 1, 2003 11:49 PM	No, because there are movies I know are excellently made and perfect examples of what an amazing movie should be, but it just didn't hit me on the same level as, I dunno, the South Park movie. Blah, Blah, Citizen Kane, great movie, broke new ground, blah, blah, interesting new techniques for everyhint, blah, blah, still more fun to wath "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

Like I said, the critics can count down the 10 best movies of our time. But that would be there openion. Not everyones. I watched The South Park 3 times in 1 week, and every time I did I cracked up. To me, the fact that a movie made me laugh every time makes it a good movie. That is still my openion though, not a fact. Your openion should not be confused with fact either.

Thats true. I love movies. I love them alot, and see alot to boot. And I must say, I love alot of movies better that the ones that make it to the oscars. But I usually make a point to see it if it wins something.

That list is horrible.

Rating The Matrix Reloaded above The Matrix should be made illegal by international treaty, and putting a Joel Schumacher film anywhere in the top ten should be grounds for immediate execution.

That is unless, of course, the Phone Booth you are refering to is the 1998 film from Singapore. In that case, I apologize.

I won't even get into Jackass. The name says it all.
