The Internet Movie Database is one of my main sources for movies as I am sure it is with many other HTF memebers. The user Top 250 (and beyond) list is probably one of most credible ranking systems available in my opinion, but it dissapoints me sometimes. The whole reason I'm writing this is because I'm I just watched Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. I'm surprised it and E.T. arent's in the top 100. As of today, CE3K is at #237 and E.T. is #224. These aren't the only great American films to that are left way behind. How bout Forrest Gump vs. Spider-Man? #157 vs. #151 respectfully...no way Spider-Man was better than Forrest Gump. There's a whole slew of movies that should have at least a few more notches/reach the top 100 list like Braveheart, Léon, Saving Private Ryan, and Almost Famous.
On the other hand, I'm glad films like The Godfather (#1), Schindler's List (#7), Shawshank(#2), and Goodfellas (#25) are in their proper place. Still, I bet others feel differently.
I feel that all the films I mentioned appeal to everyone in such different ways that either one loves or hates 'em. But c'mon, Let's get E.T. and Close Encounters in the top 100!
These are ALL MY OPINONS, let's hear yours!
