The Passion should’ve won in 2004. It’s the best, most important film of the 21st Century. It’s just that Hollywood’s anti-Semitism and anti-Christianity that kept it from even being nominated.

I pretty much agree with the list except I haven’t seen a couple of them and “2001” was just plain awful to me.

A straight-up shot of intoxicating Billy Wilder, this hilarious, wised-up comedy-mystery about a cynical POW played to perfection by William Holden was decades ahead of its time and far superior to a much soapier and more on-the-nose approach to WW II, From Here to Eternity.

Wilder's best film IMHO was "One, Two, Three"....Pure comedic genius, and one of the all-time great comedy performances from James Cagney.

lol. Most of Hollywood is Jewish so hardly anti-Semite. The movie was ok but Son of God is 100 percent better.

8. Stalag 17 (1953)

Uh, no.

Truly cringeworthy melodrama.

A.I. was one of the most comically horrible movies ever made, like Al Gore meets L Ron Hubbard. (It also stole mercilessly from Bladerunner, but Bladerunner was such a better film, I won’t compare it.) And that’s one of only two from my middle-aged lifespan.

The Jews in Hollywood are like the Jewish leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto, sending other Jews to their deaths to keep the national SOCIALISTS from picking them.

While there are some good movies on this list, it just proves once again that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Personally, I think anybody who sat through Kubrick’s turgid “2001, etc” without falling asleep half way through should get some kind of award.

Agreed. I bought 2001 from the bargain bin last year and watched it. Absolutely terrible. Then I remembered I hadn't really liked it much when it was new.

Number 14. Nope. I really wanted to like that movie. It has great special effects and interesting story, but it just didn’t do it for me. There is a reason it’s so cheap wherever you find it.

Son of God? Really? The liberally white-washed TV show being released as a movie?

Well, I know it’s not what the usual would expect, but really I thought The Haunting of Hill House, 1963, really should’ve won an Oscar.

The supposed scary or horror films have never reached it’s level, yet.

A psychological thriller is what they called it. I am still afraid to watch it, but it was wonderfully done.

Beat me to it.

Reruns of “A Snooze Odyssey” helped insomniacs for a couple decades, as it showed up ad nauseum on late night television.

I watched it with my pastor and a bunch of other members of my church. I was the only one that did not like it. As a matter of fact, it disgusted me. Watching a remake of my savior getting tortured is not only not entertaining, it is not even educational. The movie creeped me out on many levels, not least of which the concept of Christians intentionally watching their savior be tortured and killed.

I just don’t get the concept.

It came out last night so unless you went yesterday or today you cannot say a word. Sorry but until your answer you are just spouting air.

Looks like we’re in agreement on that one.
