Best Ever Movie - Round One

[st_swithin]

Eh, they didn't do a sequel to Casablanca for a REASON. It's called a stand-alone.

I forgot to mention the Big Lebowski. Walter reminds me of a friend of my dad's.

I considered adding Patton, but it is such a good film, I thought it to be above our petty polls.

Anyone else seen "The Last Days of Patton" or something to that effect? Good movie.

I really liked Titanic myself.

Titanic

the movie was okay, but by no means great.

you guys are just putting silly choices in there now to mess up the results

[MrFun]

If you keep in mind that Titanic is really about some of the passengers on the ship, and not about the ship itself, you might realize what a good movie it is.

Yeah, seriously. Matrix? What a waste of a vote.

[The Vagabond]

Titanic was a great movie in all possible respects. I was considering giving it 10 in order to boost it a la JohnT, but finally decided to honor-mention two other phenomenal films that got unjustly ignored in this thread. Even if you didn't like Titanic, Diss, you have to recognize that the movie is huge enough to warrant a place in the next round.

Someone should probably tally the votes up to now, so that we can see where each movie stands!

[Soul Survivor]

its one thing to like titanic, its completely different to rank it as the best movie of all time......

I demand certain movies be striken from the list

*SPOILER*
The ship sinks. The chick can't move her fat a55 over to
make room for half a pair of chopsticks, so he drowns.

[Frozzy]

I was just doing that! But thanks for doing it

[Frozzy]

Also: To clear up confusion:

The points are your to divide! Divide them between 10 or one! They are yours to divide!

Delete "Lonesome Dove" on the basis that it's ineligible. As I said, it's a TV mini-series, not a film.
