The Godfather is a worthy winner, its just a great film with a great cast, a great story, some great characters and is loaded with some great and memorable scenes. I had it at number two and did not have its sequels as I did not want to over represent the "gangster genre" in my 20. I am sure 99% on here have seen it so any kind of review is a waste of time.
Bluehammer has again surpassed himself with this thread and deserves all credit/kudos that comes his way...... I doff my cap sir.
I managed 13 from my list so overall am pleased, although some of them pick themselves really, there is an eclectic mix in the 100 although maybe a lack of romcom or family dramas which has been noted by some already.
Would you take the hundred as the only films you could ever watch again? there are plenty of brilliant films in there, but loads that are not that you would miss too I fear. That just highlights how films can be connected to moods or phases in our lives, and association to those films can be different for different people.
Biggest surprise for getting in off my list was Capricorn One, I love that film but thought n one else did.........biggest "upset" was The Exorcist not getting in as I thought it was top 40 at least.
My failures list and position in my list:-
19)Bridge over the River Kwai
16) Dances With Wolves
10) American Werewolf in London
9) Spartacus
8) The Exoacist
7) Last of the Mohicans
4) Get Carter (Michael Caine)
Again, thanks to Bluehammer and all who took part in making this one of the best threads on here recently.
