Default The New Top 25 movie's of the Century by AFF members

OK, here is the modified version of Top 25 movie's of the century by AFF members, as requested by you.

Now remember, you can vote for as many movies as you want the first time, after that there is no going back.

This is what I wrote on the first version;
Quote:
The yanks have one http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/movies.aspx

The poms have it also http://www.bfi.org.uk/features/bfi100/

The Aussie's & Kiwi's are trying http://worldfilm.about.com/cs/austr...australianz.htm

So what about one for Australian Ford Forums? :

The movie list is a quick random pick, there was no formula or long winded debates, just a huge list that was quickly whittled down to 25, so don't complain. :

If you see a movie in the list that you thought was great, tick it. Share your thoughts on the movie/movies if you want.
Maybe hire some from the video shop to watch before voting

Yep, 2 x 2001's. Guess you really liked that one, eh? :hihi:

I'm just glad Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings aren't #1. :P (Well, not at time of writing this post anyway! hehehe)

I found Life of Brian sooooo boring but I loved Monty Python's Meaning of Life. I voted for Forrest Gump. That movie is so great in so many ways.

Only me and one other person has voted for Rocky Horror?

Tim Curry as the sweet transvestite(oh my, how delectable that man is... brain the size of a planet, nothing special to look at, I call that Sexy Ugly - thanks to the movie Kissing Jessica Stein). And his VOICE... OMG sends shivers up the spine : A highly unappreciated actor imho.

Looks like the race is between Star Wars & Mad Max.

Tell me the truth everyone, did you vote for Mad Max becuase it was a great movie, or because you loved the Fords in it?

EDIT: I caught apocolypse now redux on fox over the weekend. The extra hour or so of footage/scenes is quite bizarre.

Where is The Crow?

I voted. There are some decent films in the selection.
Fight Club, Forrest Gump, Finding Nemo, Back to the Future Trilogy.
Michael J Fox was my Hero as a kid.

I can't believe Stars Wars is winning... I'd rate the other 24 movies in that list above it, not to meantion another 50 or so.

Yeah Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a classic, not a fan of Top Gun though.

If we get enough demand, maybe we can have MIII.

So far most people are happy with the list we have, but keep making suggestions & we'll see what happens later :1syellow1

How about a vote for 'Lock,Stock And Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Christine'.

A lot of good movies in that list. Hard to pick just one. I voted for Full Metal Jacket this time. Gotta love that Gunnery SGT Hartmann!!!!
Ferris Bueller's day off was another classic. Top Gun I detested and for some reason could never and never will get into Star Wars. The Boat (Das Boot) is another good film.
