David Kelly 1115 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Everyone about my age or older must have seen 'The Towering Inferno'. It used to be on TV about once every 6 months. Along with 'The Poseidon Adventure'. The Poseidon Adventure is much better though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with 'The Poseidon Adventure'. The Poseidon Adventure is much better though! I'd probably go along with that. Don't know how 'Towering Inferno' is as high as it is. Probably for all the stars it has in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'd place The Green Mile in there somewhere. One of the only films that have really moved me. Seems a bit strange to single out just the one Star Wars film as well. I enjoyed all three of the original trilogy. I loved Full Metal Jacket as well. All down to taste I guess.

David Kelly 1115 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Amazingly, a list of one hundred films can only accomodate 100 films though. What would you hoy out to accomodate your choices. Personally I'd replace Bladerunner with Magnolia for a start. Then I'd chuck Trainspotting and get Amelie in there. 'Ice Cold in Alex' for 'Point Break'. Although I like the latter, it's nowt special imo. Point Break is craking at what it does but I don't see how it could ever be considered a great film. Bizare to see it in a top 100 that also has Tokyo Story and Pather Pachali in it. Amelie should be in there but I still prefer A Very Long Engagement. Oldboy is a surprising omission from a world cinema point. Paris Texas should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Surprised there's no 'Shawshank Redemption' which is good if a bit overrated imo just because it's nearly always on these lists and near the top too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 No Saw? It's my favourite film, but it's not the best film I've seen. That and the vitriol that would've resulted had I stated a case for its inclusion wouldn't have been worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have it in there but your right it does get a bit overratted. I think it's number 2 in the IMDB top 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen it about 100 times now it has lost some of its power but it's still a brilliant film. The Omission is Millers Crossing is another travesty and was Lebowski there?

I was trying to follow both but it just wasn't happening and in the end both programmes suffered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
