But then more personally, how well I feel the Narrative is written, Originality, Memorability, Re-Watchability, etc. Now this being a general list of non-horror I think about sub-genres. I personally would like to see a fair share of different genres represented. Comedies, Action, Westerns, Sci-fi, etc. so I make picks based on that as well. For instance in this batch I would put Star Trek II in a Top 100 Sci-Fi films, but with limited space I think other films in a "General List" are more important based on my other criteria. That said... From the current list, I would neg-vote: A Few Good Men Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Fargo Glengarry Glen Ross Gravity Inception Independence Day Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Raging Bull Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan The Departed The Elephant Man The Lion King |

I have to argue for The Departed. First off it won Best Picture at the Oscars and scored Martin Scorcese his first Academy Award which if nothing else serves as a milestone for one of the greatest directors ever.
As for the movie itself, its amazingly acted. Has an awesome score and soundtrack and is shot brilliantly. The story is great and entertaining which builds up to an awesome finale. Its arguably Scorceses best work and definitely one of the greatest films of all time. |
Tough choices. Choosing the better films is easier than negging the existing, but I'll have a go. All films not listed below I support going through.
These films didn't hit as some of the best, but (except for Departed) I enjoyed them, and/or found them touching, and/or appreciated many of their technical accomplishments (including Departed). So I don't neg these: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - The Dark Knight - The Departed - I didn't care for this film. It was finely shot and acted, but I didn't care for the story and characters. I don't recall being thrilled with the suspense, intrigue, action, but maybe I was too tired. Anyway, I'm Negging it. The Elephant Man - Been a long long time since I've seen it. I remember expecting to be touched, but I seem to remember that I wasn't, which I would have assumed that (touching) was the point of the film, but since I don't remember it well enough, I'm not making any sort of critique here. Maybe I can coax some here, who's seen it, to tell me why they are supporting it. These I neg, (and I do realise 3 of these have long been considered great films): Gravity - I do like new experiences, creativity, this had technical expertise, I even like starkness, but the story hit me as a little too stark, as in I could have been right there with them and asked Bullock if she wanted to play 20 questions. Independence Day - it was fairly entertaining, and that's what films are generally for, but I'm looking for something more from the greats. I know a good friend of mine was really moved by the ending presidential speech, but it and the film felt oldhat and formulaic to me. Bonnie & Clyde - long time praised, each time I'll seen it, I don't get why. I didn't see any technical flaws. Some nicely shot sequences. But I didn't care about the characters, story, nor of course what they were doing. I didn't think it was in anyway masterful in suspense, action or change in character. Story didn't challenge my mind or beliefs in anyway, nor strum my emotions. Chinatown - long time praised, each time I'll seen it, I don't quite get why it gets that much praise. I didn't see any technical flaws. Nicely acted, shot & directed film. But I didn't care about the characters, story, nor of course what was going on. I didn't think it was in anyway masterful in suspense, action or change in character. Story didn't challenge my mind or beliefs in anyway, nor strum my emotions. Lawrence Of Arabia - long time praised, each time I'll seen it, I don't get why. There are very nice wide angle shots; finely shot. Some very fine performances. I wasn't thrilled by any particular suspense, intrigue or action, wasn't fascinated by the cultures or characters or story. Didn't notice any significant change in character. Lawrence was a mystery, and after the film, remained a mystery. Some will say that's the point. To each his own. Story didn't challenge my mind or beliefs in anyway, nor strum my emotions. |
Anyone else?

I argue for Unforgiven, The Departed, Lion King, and Terminator 2
|
THE WILD BUNCH and THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY still get my vote. Well made, important and influential, and darned fun to watch.
|
The Departed was alright for a remake ;) ... 12 Angry Men gets my support, as does Blade Runner. As does Bonnie and Clyde, Close Encounters, Glengarry Glen Ross, Fargo, Lawrence of Arabia, North by Northwest, Raging Bull, Roshomon, Seven Samurai, and This is Spinal Tap.

Separating the ones which are getting strong support:
12 Angry Men (1957) - 2 (+2) Apocalypse Now - 2 (+1) Blade Runner - 2 (+2) Close Encounters Of The Third Kind - 2 (+1) North By Northwest - 2 (+1) Rashomon - 2 (+2) Rocky - 2 (+1) Seven Samurai - 2 (+2) Terminator 2: Judgment Day - 2 (+1) The Dark Knight - 2 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - 2 (+2) The Lord of the Rings - 2 (+1) The Princess Bride - 2 The Wild Bunch - 2 (+1) This is Spinal Tap - 2 (+1) Unforgiven - 2 (+1) These films now join our final 100 listing, unless there's a final objection against any of them. A last call for debate are for these films: A Few Good Men - 2 (realdeablues) (+1) Bonnie & Clyde - 2 (Sculpt) (+1) Chinatown - 2 (Sculpt) (+1) Fargo - 2 (realdeablues) (+2) Glengarry Glen Ross - 2 (realdeablues) (+2) Inception - 2 (realdeablues) Lawrence Of Arabia - 2 (Sculpt) (+2) Raging Bull - 2 (realdeablues) (+2) The Departed - 2 (realdeablues) (+2) The Elephant Man - 2 (realdeablues) (+1) The Lion King - 2 (realdeablues) (+1) I am for moving those highlighted in BOLD into final selection, because despite getting one objection each, they have garnered 2 supporters each as well. What say? And, moving these to the backburner: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 2 (Villain) (realdeablues) (+1) Gravity - 2 (roshiq) (realdeablues) (Sculpt) Independence Day - 2 (Villain) (realdeablues) (Sculpt) Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - 2 (Villain) (roshiq) (realdeablues) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 2 (Villain) (realdeablues) |

I haven't participated in this thread for a while, but those sounds good to me.

I don't know what this is but if I have points, they all go to removing Pirates of the Carribean movies.

I'll support:
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (only if this is the original 1930s version) Argo Avatar Ben Hur Black Swan Braveheart (insanely inaccurate historically, but a solid film, in my opinion) BRAZIL (I have not seen it, but i'll back it because I heard it was excellent) Casino Django Unchained Duck Soup Dumbo Erin Brockovich Fight Club (I have not seen it, but i'll back it because I heard it was excellent) Forrest Gump Gettysburg GoodFellas Gran Torino Modern Times O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The Extra Terrestrial (overrated in my opinion) Friday I, Robot (I really enjoy this film, but again does not belong on the list) Live Free or Die Hard [2007] Mac and Devin go to High School Old Yeller (1957) Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest (2006) Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) (not a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean films) Star Trek (2009) Star Trek Into Darkness (I enjoyed both Star Trek films, but they don't belong on this list either) Super Troopers The Crow The Naked Gun [1988] Up (2009) Wall-E Sorry, if I supported too many films...lol. I am surprised that Black Swan was not counted as horror. |

Is it too late to add something? I watched THE TRAIN (1965) this morning and was reminded how good it is. Story, acting, photography and by implication directing, all top-notch. Especially the photography. Since several of my nominations have been negated I'd like to toss this into the fray. Should have nominated it the first time, just didn't think of it.
