Pretty nice list Scott. While our films are obviously very different, I really like 11 of your top 20 a lot. Interestingly, I like 9 of your top 10, but only 2 of your next 10.

interesting list scott, I only have a 6.58 affinity with the top twenty, but I love a lot of them that just can't quite fit into the to twenty (or thirtyfive). I have to say that as soon as I get my Miller's Crossing DVD it will probably knock Thin Man off the list (that's not to say it will land at number twenty either). And I have no Lord of the Rings because I'm just going to put the whole dang series somewhere in my top five as one movie.

I have my list up as well, I believe I discovered the site from George's sig as well.

if you want to try to add another ten or fifteen films you can in your comments bar, I was able to squeeze in another 15 with the 250 characters (including spaces) they allow.


and for those that have signatures disabled, my top 20 35 movies

hopefully they'll allow they option of thirty or fifty films in the future, they did a poll a while back and fifty was the most popular choice of how many films to allow I believe.

Affinity with:
Scott: 6.58
George: 18.77
Brian: 7.02
Matthew: 2.72
Dome: 12.72
Nick: 7.00
Chris: 12.97
Thomas: 0.00
Simon: 8.43
Ocie: 9.62
Evan: 18.21
DaveGR: 5.25
Steve: 9.28
LennyP: 0.00
JeremyA: 4.38
RobPS: 4.3
JustinS: 0.00
JeremyC: 3.13
MarkP: 11.39
KirkT: 15.52
JasonW: 7.42
AndyO: 0.00
RichardS: 8.20
NathanA: 7.25
Kristian: 5.94
John Dhein: 5.73

I guess I'll hop on the bandwagon. It seems a cool idea. I'm curious to see how I match up with the other more obscure lists.

My list in progress, thus all movies except for the top two are subject to move/be kicked off the list: http://www.ymdb.com/user_top20_view.asp?usersid=4340





The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.
