Doing a top 20 list without categories for me is just too hard.

I mean how do you compare Die Hard to say Anchorman. They are completely different films. Neither is better than the other. If you want an action film. Die Hard is just about the GOAT of pure action films. But if you want to laugh, look no further than Anchorman.

I need top 20 action films, top 20 comedies etc. Also how can you split trilogies or long movie franchises into one movie. Harry Potter over 8 films tells one story. Same for LOTR over three films.

It's all just too hard. Haha...

1. Oldboy (2003)
2. Martyrs
3. Apocalypse Now
4. Waltz with Bashir
5. Deerhunter
6. Blue Velvet
7. Tree of Life
8. Gattaca
9. Deep Red (Profondo Rosso)
10. Blade Runner
11. The Thing (1982)
12. The Searchers
13. The Man from Earth
14. Reservoir Dogs
15. Citizen Kane
16. Evil Dead (1981)
17. Days of Heaven
18. Prometheus
19. Pans Labyrinth
20. Dune


Much too hard but these were the ones that first came to mind.

I'm sure there would be many who would have given it a shot but I'm not sure it being a stickied thread has done it any favours.

It may have been better left to float and to be given a bump every now and then as required.

2. The Prestige

Very very happy to see this. Definitely top 5 for myself, but every time I ask someone if they have seen it they have no idea what it is.
