Check the number 64!!!!

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Despite that my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw that my favorite movie of all times is actually the number 1 on the list (and kill yourself if you never watched... actually, watch before you kill yourself), LOOK AT NUMBER 64!!!

I was amazed when I saw it. I mean, for all of us here that movie is amazing, but to make #64 on a list that everybody on the planet voted?

Double jaw dropping. :rock:

Umm... what list is that?

Sorry, forgot the link... its fixed now :haha::damn:

Number 1 and 64 should be swapped IMO, I saw The Shawshank Redemption & thought it was boring!!:yep:

[frau kaleun]

Wow, nice to see so many bona fide classics on there. Many of the newer releases, I suspect, will not stand the test of time.

But TBH altho I love Shawshank I would never rate it that high. I doubt it would make my top 250 at all.

Goes without saying that Das Boot would be ranked much higher for me, lol.

[Platapus]

His girl Friday and Arsenic and old lace at the bottom?

/Bah :nope:

[frau kaleun]

Don't even get me started on the fact that Pulp Fiction was ranked about 30 places higher than Citizen Kane.

[Weiss Pinguin]

Hah, The Dark Knight is #10! Oh, right, about #64... :oops:

Plus Samuel L Jackson is just a bad mother*@&#^$!

I never knew that there were under a million people on the planet (or less judging by the vote numbers).

Besides I probably don't care about, let alone agree with the opinion of 99.99% of them anyhow ;)

228. Patton :wah:

I don't remember any choice lines from Patton, but it was a mighty good movie. :up:

Precisely.....IMHO one helluva lot of great movies not even on the list :doh:

47. A Clockwork Orange :nope:

Why isnt that movie on the list, eh?

[AngusJS]

Not one Soviet/Russian movie?

And where is A Bridge Too Far (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075784/)?

What!?

"You magnificent bastard, I read your book!"

"I'm going to personally shoot that paper-hangin' sunnuvabitch!"

While Shawnshank Redemption is pretty awesome flick, I don't think it deserves the #1 spot. :hmmm: Looking at that list, there's quite a few movies that makes me wonder just why they are there. :doh:

[sharkbit]

Das Boot is tied for eight in the rankings at a rating of 8.4.

I'm curious-How do they rank the movies that have the same ratings? Obviously not by number of votes.

Dowly-your little signature really messed with my head. :doh:

:)

In Soviet Russia, movies rank YOU.

The voters were all IMDB members, probably younger and also probably limited to their own experiences. In other words, it all depends on who you ask.
