No, when someone refers to the film Labyrinth, they're not referring to Pan's Labyrinth. They're talking about Jennifer Connelly's film debut, a fun fantasy musical adventure featuring the Muppets (but not the ones you usually see) and David Bowie.

It's an enjoyable romp, but definitely not one of the 100 best films ever made.

Assuming that this is the one with David Bowie and not another movie of the same name, this is one that could have been in my top 30. I know a lot of people think it's horrible, but I think it's a great fantasy movie, and again... when I don't watch horror, I tend to like more family oriented movies.

I was speaking to Kan's referencing another film named "Labyrinth" that isn't the David Bowie Labyrinth. I didn't think there was another film named "Labyrinth", so I'm guessing the second Labyrinth in her mind is Pan's Labyrinth. There was a 2012 TV miniseries called Labyrinth with John Hurt.

I don't believe she was saying there was another film named Labyrinth (though there is), just saying she was assuming the person didn't mean some other non-specified film. It's a fine point not worth niggling over, but I am anyway. ::smile::

My mistake - A Clockwork Orange has plenty of horror elements and disturbing scenes, and it already finds representation in a few of our other lists.

The last HDC member to have submitted a list, sfear, included it in his 20 and I couldn't proof-read it before adding his choices to the Master List.

Sent him a PM to send in a replacement. Said film stands removed.

Twelve Monkeys

Now, for films that were in my list, but I would like to bring special attention to.
Duck Soup
Back to the Future
Vertigo
Dumbo
Titanic

Haven't seen Duck Soup & Dumbo, so no comments about them. And from the rest...again, love them but I'd only like to see Vertigo making into the final list.

Dances With Wolves
Pulp Fiction - Really liked it a lot. But not entirely sure why. There's no subject matter of importance.
The Lion King

Haven't seen Dances with Wolves. Definitely enjoyed it but still not so much convinced about Pulp Fiction for a Top 100 list, not a great fan of it. As you said, I think there's a decent number of viewers out there who still "not entirely sure why" they liked it so much!::confused::

Lion King is undoubtedly a lovely, great film but I think there are better films animated films to get join in the final bunch.

Ok, here's the 5 movies I've chosen from the master list that was not in my personal list:

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
BACK TO THE FUTURE II
LABYRINTH
SCHINDLERS LIST
SUPERMAN
.

I've already admitted my full support for Clockwork & Shindler's List. Haven't seen Labyrinth. BTTF..more suitable for greatest films of 80s than a list for all time greatest, IMO! I do LOVE Superman...but my opinion is same like BTTF, may be I'd like to keep it for a list of 'Best Superhero Movies' only.

1. Black Swan

2. Monty Python & The Holy Grail
3. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
4. The Deer Hunter
5. Fargo

YES for The Cook, The Thief & The Deer Hunter.

A Christmas Carol (Providing its the one staring Alastair Sim and not some god awful modern remake I haven't yet had the misfortune to watch).
The Grapes of Wrath
Rashomon

.... And what's with 12 Monkey's getting more support than Brazil. Surely if you are going to have a Terry Gilliam movie in the top 100 it has to be Brazil. :shocked:

Haven't seen Grapes but already voted for Rashomon. And ditto about BRAZIL, I won't mind to see it in the top 100.

HA-HA-HA! The only film that generated most number of supports in last few discussions for last 2 days! But yeah...you have a valid point, can't argue about that.

Neverending is correct - I have no idea if there are any other movies called Labyrinth, but there could have been. It's not a particularly unique sounding title, and there was no year of release, so... just wanted to make sure it WAS the movie I was thinking of.

Honestly, it probably isn't - even if it is a personal favourite of mine. The truth is that there are not a lot of obvious choices for me on the master list.

FYI - I just checked our 100 Years of Horror, the 1970 list (http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...7&postcount=22) (A Clockwork Orange is 1971), and Clockwork is not in the 1970's list. It's also not in the 1970's Honorable Mentions (http://horror.com/forum/showpost.php...8&postcount=38). Being it's one of the best films of all-time (surely one of best in 70's), we obviously must have disallowed it -- said it wasn't a Horror film. And so, if we/HDC disallowed it as a Horror film, you think we should allow it in non-horror, and not let drop through the cracks?

Grapes of Wrath is a glaring hole in my knowledge of films. I have to see it. Duck Soup is a lot of fun. There are many brilliant scenes of humor (the non-mirror is fantastic). Dances with Wolves is like a new world.

Speaking of Loin King, makes me wonder what the best animated films of all-time are. Do you think people discount films that are animated when considering the best films all-time?

I'm curious about that one too, now. I've googled the book and the film, and none of them seems to be available in my country, so no wonder I haven't heard about them.

To be honest, I do, which is probably not fair. I can't off the top of my head think of one I would consider one of the 100 best films of all times; certainly not Dumbo or Lion King. Maybe Fantasia.
