The movies are now more than 100 years old. That still makes them a young medium, at least in art-form years (how old is the novel? the theater? the painting?). But they’re just old enough to make compiling Variety’s first-ever list of the 100 Greatest Movies of All Time a more daunting task than it once might have been. Think about it: You get an average of one film per year. A great deal of ardent discussion and debate went into the creation of this list. Our choices were winnowed from hundreds of titles submitted by more than 30 Variety critics, writers and editors. As we learned, coming up with which movies to include was the easy part. The hard part was deciding which movies to leave out.

I gave up after #44. C’mon, man. This is a fayg list. I ain’t heard of 2/3rd’s of them. Brokebutt Mountain. I just can’t quit you.
That is a quality list.
Problem is, each category should have a top 100. Comedy, Drama, etc.
The Hollywood Knights
Lawrence
Lawrence of Arabia
He was an English guy
He came to fight the Turkish....Meep! Meep!
Lol!
That’s one of my all time favorite movies! The music, the cinematography, the acting, the story all are fantastic. It should be in the top 10.
Poor Squeak, Lol!
On a serious note, I thought Last of the Mohicans(1992) was pretty good.
Any “Top 100 Movies” list without “Quigley Down Under” on it can be disregarded as garbage.
I was thinking that too. Is it a fair competition, to compare comedies and science fiction, or science fiction against serious drama?
Caddyshack
Evil Dead 2
Dr Strangelove
Tombstone
Braveheart
Gladiator
What does mine say?
Dude
What does mine say?
Sweet
My favorite movie is one most people have never heard of, even though it’s a Monty Python pirate movie.
Yellowbeard - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowbeard
Excellent score as well.
Goodbye, Lenin!
Someone should have a “Groundhog Day” Marathon, where they play it over and over non-stop without interruption for 24 hours. It would be so fitting.
The Death of Stalin
1. Braveheart
2. Ten Commandments
3. King of Kings
4. Gorky Park
5. The Right Stuff
“Ass” should be at No. 1.
This list is all retarded and obviously for fags.
