Die Hard is the greatest action movie ever made and therefore has a legit claim to the top 20. I voted for it.
Exactly, I'd say Top 15, borderline Top 10.

Always way too high, but I am usually in the minority on that.

I hate myself for not getting to this thread earlier. Sacrificing a lamb later to hopefully make up for it.

Took out some of the greatest movies of all-time and added in a few of my favorites in their place. At the end of the day I’d still rather watch Trainspotting than 8 ½ and I’d recommend it first as well. That doesn’t mean that Trainspotting is the superior film; it’s not.

I've decided that The Departed is maybe one of the most successful films ever created to reach a mass audience, that's why it is so "well regarded," far above it's actual quality. (Note: It is a good film).
Checklist:
Leo DiCaprio
Star Cast
Auteur Director
A Uniquely American Town centerpiece
Good Script and Acting
Bad Words
Romance
Bromance
Criminal Content
Guns
Heroes, Anti heroes, and Anti-Anti Heroes
Let's put that into perspective:
Leo = Chicks
Star Cast = Star Chasers (People who just watch films to watch stars) AKA General Public and Old People
Auteur Director = Film Geeks
Boston Unhinged = America, F Yeah
Decent Script and Acting = Film Purists
Spectacular Cursing = Bros Quoting Dignan
Twisted Romeo and Juliet = Chicks Again
Bromance = Bros
Criminal Content = Adults, Bros, Etc. Crime Sells
Guns = Action Junkies
Panoply of Heroes = Nolan Junkies, Jaded People
It's a Catch-All film. The only group it doesn't cater to are kids.

Can't see a few of those images.
Posted on 11/5/13 at 6:05 pm to OMLandshark
They show up for me? 
Posted on 11/5/13 at 6:06 pm to Freauxzen
Hmm, not sure why they're not for me. They're Lawrence and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Posted on 11/5/13 at 6:08 pm to OMLandshark
I can't see some of them either. It's weird because the same thing is happening on the "link to old threads" thread on the OT.
