Sorry I missed this before.
TCM was by all means a great movie that had a huge influence on film and popular culture. But pound for pound, Cuckoo's Nest was just the better film. Nicholson put up an incredible performance, as did pretty much everyone in the cast, which cant be said about any of the actors in TCM, sad to say.

Definatly.
Phantom is a great movie that was incredibly influential in the film industry, however the mystery, the performances, the message and the ending came together so prefectly in K-Pax that I consider it to be one of the best movies ever made.

K-Pax. It really is a much better film than it gets credit for. I can't deny the influence of Phantom, which is a great film on its own, but I just enjoyed K-Pax more.
i'm sorry - since Pulp Fiction beat Psycho - i now refuse to vote in this ridiculous sham of a game
(though, if i were voting, I'd certainly pick PHANTOM over k-pax)

First of all, it's not that serious.
Second, people aren't just voting for the best film everytime,for the most part they're voting for which ever they like more and in some cases it might be their opinion that a certain film(Ghostbusters) is better than the other more reconized film(Taxi Driver).
Taxi Driver(2nd only to The Godfather)
Yojimbo(top 15)
12 Angry Men(top 10)
That's my opinion of those films but they all lost but it's just a game so who cares.

I recall 12 Angry Men being eliminated which really pissed me off as its undoubtedly one the best films ever made. However, you correctly point out its only a game and an enjoyable one too so keep up the good work Return old bean
