MAR

2009

Can't believe what some people put on their list af all tiime greats. Sure the saying goes "Different Strokes for Different Folks" but some people picked some real doosies in their lists. Just some of the idiotic 15 bests are Underdog, Talladega NIghts, Batman Begins (maybe The Dark Night b/c Heath's Joker), & The Wedding Singer (if Sandler it has to be the one below).

I'll do this by genre but there maybe more than 15 by the end.

Prison Movies

The Shawshank Redemption
The Great Escape (POW's)

Comedies

American Pie
Happy Gilmore
48 Hours
Beverly Hills Cop
Police Academy (first few)
Revenge of the Nerds (original only)

Teen Angst

The Breakfast Club

The Outsiders

Family Movies

Adventure (Sci-Fi or Otherwise)

Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)
Indiana Jones Trilogy

Military or War

Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

Top Gun

Horror/Occult

The Exorcist
The Birds
Nightmare on Elm Street (Original)
Damien (How can you not agree with the birth of The Devil?)
Interview with The Vampire
Underworld Trilogy
The Shining

Gangster/Mob

Scarface (For those disagreeing "Say Hello to my little friend")
The Godfather Trilogy
Goodfellas
Resevoir Dogs
Carlito's Way

Drama

American History X
Gran Tourino
Gladiatior (War maybe, dramatized revenge Definitely)

I know I missed a lot in diffent categories but all these movies kick ass and there's no a truly bad movie on the list (possibly a few mediocore). Many have won awards or were shafted out of them because of how Hollywood is run, as for the rest if anyone that's between 25-50 doesn't agree then you should definitely seek some professional psychiatric help.

Date movies AKA Chick Flick shouldn't make any list b/c they lack sense and moral compass.

In response to MikeMaroon's comment from Mar 19, 2009 at 11:13PM:

Though I agree with the "idiots" being a little harsh and maybe not proper to span across the net , look at the movies some people picked. One guy is either a kid acting as an adult writing reviews or is a pedophile (he lists only animated movies & says he rents them for his TEENAGED daughters. And others come-on "Underdog" a movie my 4,7, & 9 year olds couldn't even finish watching in the theater b/c it was so bad, or "The Wedding Singer" even my ex-wife & now girlfriend hate that and it's a total chick flick. So whereas my overly demeaning language might have been harsh, my critique of the selections were not.
