Usual Suspects is good but I'll probably leave it off the list.

No one has said Leon: The Professional yet.

The first time I fell in love with Natalie Portman. But still didn't made my list.

Usual Suspects is good, but still out of my list. If we ever make a 'best ever endings' then that's another discussion and it will be very high.

There's a lot to like about this list.
 
I thought A Space Odyssey was shit.

Not like 'good but overrated'

I thought it was shit, like really shit. Why am I the only person who doesn't like that film?

It's a strange and very unique movie with a lot of artistic value. But I think that the entire point of it is actually being different than anything else. I liked it, but I think that is extremely overrated (many people call it the best sci fi which IMO is ridiculous). However, I remember even most of the details there. Great directing IMO.
 
Maybe I should rewatch it. I don't think I've ever met a person who said 'yeah I agree' just a few who think 'it's a little over rated but still great' and the rest just think I'm mental.

I just remember thinking 'what the feck am I watching' through most of it. But, in a good way. Probably wouldn't make my list but it's still a classic for me. Need to watch it again at some point.
 
This list should be from 1990 onwards in my opinion... as there will inevitably be a bias to films released after that time period.
 
I don't think I could possibly participate. My list would change constantly!

For those of you that have used the template - Thank You. To be honest if you can't be arse with the years it's cool unless you have a remake or something in there, just please don't put the numbers in front of the list, it's such a pain in the arse to edit individual cells deleting "1." "2." and so on :lol:

Easily the toughest of the four so far, so many films left off, no doubt will end up editing this. Could of probably done a top ten with DiCaprio films alone.

Surprised to not see many votes for a great deal of horror movies, especially the classics. In fairness it's bloody difficult compiling a list of just 20. Had to get some of the classics in there such as Terminator 2, Total Recall, The Running Man, Home Alone etc. Timeless classics that I've already watched feck knows how many times and could continue to watch over and over. And obviously The Goonies. Come on, where's the love for the truffle shuffle? :lol:

That XXY one looks interesting.

Bad Education, nice. Almodovar's The Skin I Live In would probably feature on a more expanded list of mine.

the order for these in many ways is completely arbritary, and there were so many excellent films that missed out. Most of my films are really quite cheesy, but I don't care. Do top 20 dance tunes and I'd get dead serious and nerdy... films I'm very mainstream!

Not really happy with the list, too many I've missed that I feel deserve a place. Not particularly happy with the order either. I feel guilty giving those last 6 films just 1 point.
 
Seriously, Predator and Die Hard aren't getting enough love in here for my liking, give yourelves a shake fellas.
