Deeds, not words, my FRiend. Deeds. Not words.

[SoFloFreeper]

All movies listed were entertaining with the exception of Pulp Fiction. Utter nihilistic crap.

[Billthedrill]

True cinematic connie-sewers such as myself prefer:

Birdemic: Shock and Terror
Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Manos: Hands Of Fate
Robot Monster
Glen Or Glenda?
The Conqueror
The Horror of Party Beach
Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
The Room
Terror Of Tiny Town

OK, that's eleven. Eleven is better than 10. QED.

Godfather II is even better, IMHO.

[FredZarguna]

[JBW1949]

Definitely Ben Hur and The Longest Day should be in the top 10....

[Fiji Hill]

My top 10

1. The Girl Can't Help It

2. Hollywood Revue of 1929

3. Pigskin Parade

4. Gold Diggers of 1933

5. Gold Diggers of 1935

6. The Ten Commandments (1923 version)

7. Around the World in 80 Days

8. The Search for Paradise

9. Big Jim McClain

10. Alexander Nevskii

No Doctor Zhivago?

[wally_bert]

It’s all on on the wheel, it all goes around.

Whatever that means.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed one.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Casablanca, Blade Runner are two that should be on any greats list.

[yarddog]

At one time it was probably between “Birth Of A Nation”, “Citizen Kane” and “Gone With The Wind”.

Two of the three are now out of contention because of rampant political correctness. They even changed the name of the D. W. Griffith award.

I do agree that “The Godfather” was a great one but the second Godfather film was even better. I would also put “Dr. Zhivago” in the top ten.

[murron]

Rocky, Gone With the Wind, Godfather II, and Braveheart all should have been on the list.

[xp38]

Nothing prior to 1970 and only US movies except Lord of the Rings. bleh Almost all box office blockbusters too. I agree most of these 10 are good movies but best ever....not even close.

[Nifster]

Meh

Nothing from the great age of movies. Try Thirty Nine Steps

[dfwgator]

The Lives of Others

[virgil]

Gone With the Wind. These dumb asses don’t understand what a conflagration the civil war was. It tore the country apart. It took a 100 years to start healing. Now they want to scrub that bit history. Morons.

[chrisser]

I’d consider Casablanca and The Sting over some of the movies on that list.

Recently watched Gone with the Wind for the first time in years (decades) and found that I appreciated it far more than when I was younger.

How about the original Wizard of Oz?

[Fiji Hill]

Rocket Attack USA ought to be on your list.

[FredZarguna]

Most Overrated movies of all time:

• Citizen Kane
• The Shawshank Redemption
• The Treasure of Sierra Madre
• Slumdog Millionaire
• The Unforgiven
• Amarcord
• Casablanca
• The Third Man
• Titanic
• Crash
• The English Patient

In no particular order, except that Citizen Kane is by far the most overrated film ever made.
