Signor Ernesto's top movie list is a lot more animated than most I've seen.

My tip Ernest get rid of 'Mars and Beyond' (a documentary) and replace it with 'Spirited Away' or 'Wings of Honneamise'.

And Rob P S wants the world to know that he has 'Fellowship of the Ring' in his worst movie list, ho and erm hum.

Here's my slightly updated top 20 list, after the top 3 the rest are really in no particular order. I wish it were a top 50, I left out a whole bunch of equally loved favorites.

"Signor Ernesto's top movie list is a lot more animated than most I've seen."

That's because it is a list of my favorite animated movies. It even says so at the bottom: 'my favorite animated films'.

"My tip Ernest get rid of 'Mars and Beyond' (a documentary) and replace it with 'Spirited Away' or 'Wings of Honneamise'."

a) Documentaries are movies.
b) If either Spirited Away or Wings were among my 20 favorite animated films, I would list them. It's not supposed to be your choices for "the best" films of all time, just your favorites. Neither are among my 20 favorites. I'd add Totoro before Spirited Away or Wings, but then, I'd add Spirited Away and Wings ahead of Ghost in the Shell and any of the modern Disney films.

So you've seen Wings of Honneamise then? Wow, I'd love to sometimes hear your thoughts on the film. Both because I've always respected your thoughts on any animation, and because I recommended you the film so very long ago now.

I knew that signor. Mr.Winky dropped down a few lines just when I hit submit.

What?! That's pretty much blasphemous coming from you Ernest, didn't you do a thesis on 'Lilo & Stich' a couple of months ago, or was it something I ate?

Just messin' with ya, a good list, a bit two-dimensional but a lot of favorites there, oh and 'Mars & Beyond' is still the odd one out, not being a movie and all...

Mr.Winky, stay!

My top 20 -- click here.

I've used my "worst" list as a continuation of my best list so don't go thinking I hate a bunch of great films.

My affinity scores are really low, which is not a surprise considering how many "art" films I have in there, not to mention that three of my choices are shorts and I wouldn't be surprised if I am the only guy on the YMDB to list shorts.

18 of my top 20 are on DVD, and one of the two that isn't (Star Wars) is coming very soon. That only leaves one: Chet's Romance -- a gorgeous cinemascope B&W short of Chet Baker performing one tune, live.

My list represents eight decades, six countries/languages and a whole bunch of films you have never seen (and a few you have).

Ted



Hold on tightly, let go lightly.

Here's my Top 20

Here's my Bottom 20

I think both could use a little tweaking. Hmmm.

I'm off to check a few of your lists. Nice to see this site back and running!

Scott, I have 17 of your top 20 on dvd, I love this list.

Ted, I was prepared for the worst, but I've seen 10 of your top 40, not bad.
