Interesting that I've seen only 1, 4, and 7 and didn't like 1 & 7, disliking #1 the most.

 

[Viper GTS]

Haven't seen any of them.

[Murpheeee]

anyone else notice that there were two number 10s?

I'm not much better, I have only seen 1, 2, 4 & 7

 

[UNCjigga]

Blade Runner r0x0rZ!!! I'm really looking forward to that upcoming Ridley Scott film ('Tripoli'?)

 

[CurtCold]

Ummm I was thinking more along the lines of....
1. Matrix
2. Braveheart
3. Patriot
4. Fight Club

Something more like that....

Their bias is obvious! They're British!

That's why we haven't seen any of these, its because we're Americans who like fast action and pletty of hot naked women over a good story line.

Those brits don't know what they're missing

(J/P 😛 )

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

While I appreciate these sorts of lists because they tend to generate discussion which results in publicizing some films that might have been otherwise overlooked, I think it's ridiculous to try to boil down over two decades of cinema into ten contenders without a well-defined set of criteria.

 

[McPhreak]

I've seen 1,4,7,8

Like Skoorb, I hated #1

Chungking Express as the #8 movie in the past 25 years? It was somewhat enjoyable but certainly not top 10 material

Apocalypse Now! is an awsome film, watch it, read Heart of Darkness, then watch the film again.





muwahahahahahahaha




As for most of the other films yall mention, they don't have a great deal of substance to them, just effects or clever story. None of them really touched my soul.
