I really don't see anything getting over the Lion King in this board, and if I had to guess the only animated film left is WALL-E. Really shocked that more Miyazaki films made the list than Disney.

Sixth Set:

Kind of an eclectic set, but I think that describes the entire list.Foreign Films, Traditional Classic Films, Films steeped in the 80's, shocking endings and Family Classics.

Wall-E bests Toy Story 1 and 3 and Up, as well as most other animated films on this list. The Coen Brothers get yet another ranking, as does Kurosawa and Hitchcock. Apollo 13 is shockingly high as well, a big benefit from the expanded ballot.

Eternal Sunshine and Full Metal Jacket were both near the end of the last version of this list in 2008 with the 100 count, so their consistency is interesting.

I like the Fifth Element a lot, but it being this high on the list is absolutely absurd.

I still think they'll be watched for many decades to come. I don't see Cinderella, Pinnochio, or the Jungle Book going away anytime soon really. Snow White maybe since it's aged horribly, but I don't think many Disney films have aged all that bad.


You don't interact with kids enough right now. And for US, our nostalgia has taken over and we have a much bigger connection to Lion King than Sleeping Beauty (I would disagree INDIVIDUALLY for me, but for the generation I am a part of, it's true).

Not only that, I think one of the unique things about Pixar is how strongly THEY tapped into our nostalgia. The reason Disney films aren't high on this list and Pixar films are...

We did that, it's our fault.

Looking at it right now, and I've got 2 on there. Hunchback and Beauty and the Beast.

There are more than a few in that grouping that don't deserve the spot. Let it be known that Hidden Fortress is above Rashomon, Ran and Kagemusha. As much as I love Kurosawa and really enjoy Hidden Fortress, that's ridiculous.

I stand corrected, that was purely a guess seeing as only 3 Disney classics had votes. That means that was you and Me. I thought you'd have at most one.

fraux is there a method to your madness at how you are revealing the list?

Seventh Set:

Coen and Kurosawa domination. The tally is huge for both directors. Glad to see Miller's Crossing on the list and Throne of Blood drops from last time as well, but it's still in the Top 100, so I guess that's ok.

So here's the interesting bit on this set:

Memento actually dominated the best of the 2000's list, Godfather-like domination. But it's already below three other films released after 2000, and there's bound to be more. Think about that.

Much like a Few Good Men, The Count of Monte Cristo, while a good movie, really overshot its true value.

Between Groundhog Day, Princess Bride, Wanda and Animal House, comedy made a strong showing as well. All fairing better than some of the top comedies from the other list, namely Airplane! and D&D.

Better group than last round for sure. Really happy that Nolan won't be dominating the top this time. Really surprised Memento and Inception aren't higher

The thing is people haven't seen Inception and Memento as much as a film like Shawshank, LOTR, other films that will be ranked higher. So while people who have seen it and loved it will be ranked high the number of people who saw it will be less than things ranked higher.

I may be confusing you with another poster but are you one of TD graveyard shift workers? Or do you just have a longer than average work day?

Eighth Set:

Well, Our highest rated set is probably our best overall set so far. The 1970's had more than a few movies here. The Coens get ANOTHER film, are they done? Titanic comes in at 60, and Herzog makes his monly appearance with Aguirre (which should be Top 20, but oh well).

We are quite Sci_fi heavy: Brazil, Clockwork Orange, Pretige, Blade Runner and BttF.

Two big falls again, To Kill a Mockingbird did fall the furthest, but it fell from the highest perch (pun intended). Monty Python was a top 20 film last time as well.

I work from home, so that's both good and bad. Good means I can usually do some things differently during the day, but that also means that I work longer days (and Fridays are light by choice in general). I have a ton of freedom as long as I get my work done.
