Top 25 movie's of the century by AFF members

[johnydep]

The yanks have one http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/movies.aspx

The poms have it also http://www.bfi.org.uk/features/bfi100/

The Aussie's & Kiwi's are trying http://worldfilm.about.com/cs/austra...ustralianz.htm

So what about one for Australian Ford Forums? :

The movie list is a quick random pick, there was no formula or long winded debates, just a huge list that was quickly whittled down to 25, so don't complain. :

If you see a movie in the list that you thought was great, tick it. Share your thoughts on the movie/movies if you want.
Maybe hire some from the video shop to watch before voting :

Don't see a movie or have another suggestion, tell us about it, maybe later there will be another poll, when this one is all done.

EDIT: you can vote for more than one movie.

I liked "One Perfect Day", but probobly only cause I like that kind of thing. (Trance and Rave :P)

[Cheahman]

Pulp Fiction for me, I just love everything about it and can watch it over and over.

[Psycho Chicken]

So we pick a movie from those lists? I guess there's no point looking for Debbie does Dallas in them hey?

Hear Hear!!! Pulp Fiction is the most complete and entertaining film of all time in my books.

"Royale with cheese!"

[GTFalcon 351]

Stanley Kubricks "Full metal jacket"

"I think you were cheated at birth,i think the best part of you ran down your mummas crack and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress"

that crazy drill seargent cracks me up every time

[MrQuan]

Oh oh!! Lets not forget Human Traffic! That's a classic

[GTP 320]

Apocalypse Now closely followed by Pulp Fiction
Cheers John

[SpoolMan]

no Mad Max !!!

[MickyB]

Of that list Don's Party and Star Wars are my favs, I have Don's Party on dvd and its such a typical situation even today I think its awesome.

[MNM96]

Hey All,
Life of Brian! It has to be one of the greatest films ever!

In the Final scene, The Roman Officers have been sent to the "Crucifiction Field with the orders to "Welease Bwian".
"We got an order to release "Brian Anasrus"!
"I'm Brian Anasrus"
"No, I'm Brian"!
"I'm Brian Anasrus, and so is my wife"!
"Okay, You'll do"
"Nah, Im only kidding. I'm not really Brian. (removing him from the cross) I'm not Brian,Bloody Romans, can't take a joke! Put me back up"! (let him go, kicking him up the ****)

Lights Dim, Curtains Close The Chorus of "Always Look on the Bright Side os Death"!
Funny as!!! :

I'm with you on this one. It has the best one liners.

[Bearman]

A couple of suggestions for another poll:
The dish (an aussie classic)
The last samurai (awesome - Tom Cruise at his best)
The negotiator (tension all the way. Kevin Spacey and Samuel L Jackson - what a combo)
Bullit (apart from the car action, a classic cop film where the leading men were MEN and not sanitised politically correct fags)

In this poll I voted for:
Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
The Italian Job
Life Of Brian.

Can never get sick of watching these.

[deesun]

I was looking for Mad Max also. Maybe take the top 5 add a nother 20 to make up the next poll see how they fare.

Yeah, I though I'd do something like that. Probably the top 10 or 15 and add the 10 or 15 most recommended from everyones post.

So keep them coming people.

Battle Royale! mmmm, chicks with guns...:

[Danny]

Funny taht the Godfather isnt there though, A beautiful mind is a great movie too

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

I'd have to say one of my favourites is "The Big Lebowski" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/ - Not that many people know it, but those that have seen it either love or hate it. Some of the lines in it crack me up every single time.
"She's not my special lady, she's my f*cking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive."
"My... my wi-, my wife, Bunny? Do you see a wedding ring on my finger? Does this place look like I'm f*cking married? The toilet seat's up, man!"

Another favourite is "Training Day" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139654/ - I've never been able to see Denzel Washington the same way since seeing that movie, top movie that one.
"It's not what you know, it's what you can prove"
"To be truly effective, a good narcotics agent must know and love narcotics. In fact, a good narcotics agent should have narcotics in his blood."

But of course, "The Castle" and the original "Star Wars" (episode 4) belong, so I voted for them, amongst others.

[Walkinshaw]

Anyone who didnt choose The Castle, should be deported as a Traitor.

On a more serious note, this kind of list is very very hard to assemble as there will always be a classic movie missing. One movie that I think should be there is "Shawshank Redemption"

I'm one on the Love side of the fence... it's a crack up, specially the sound he makes when he drops his joint while driving and crashes. Bloody hilarious.

I didn't read that I could vote for more than one... bugger! I stuffed up my vote, I wish I could take the vote again.

Of course, out of the entire list I voted for The Italian Job cos those mini's absolutely rule

Where's Two Hands, Highlander, Fight Club, SUPERTROOPERS ("who wants a moustache ride?")? Goddamn, nobody has any taste...

[MrQuan]

Godfather II was the best out of the three I reckon it:

[Xephon]

Or whatabout 'RahXephon - The Movie'?
(Xephon gazes lovingly at his avatar...)

[Steffo]

None of the movies on that list. How could you not include The Godfather triology? Unbelieveable.

[LuvinmyEB]

The Matrix, A Beautiful Mind, Titanic, The Back To The Future trilogy, Mad Max, Taking Lives, Gothika, Oceans 11, The Green Mile (just a couple off the top of my head).
Lots of great/popular films missing from that list.

Love The Big Lebowski and Training Day.

Donny shut the f*ck up! You're entering a world of pain my friend!

: You'll get another chance, the next poll will be made up of the best from this poll and the most common recommendations from members posts. :

If I put down everyones greatest movie, the list would be about 200

That is a list of films you have all mentioned so far and numbers show how many mentions.
I'd have to agree that some of those movies are great, and I'll put my count down next to some of them, later.

Any westerns? I grew up watching westerns with my dad.

: I'll add to the list as you mention them.
