Empire's The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time List - Blu-ray Forum

J_UNTITLED · 09-22-2008, 05:18 PM

I disagree with a good portion of some of the choices thus far (more so with their placement within the rankings) but that is to be expected as everyone has their own just-as-valid opinion on what makes for a "great" or "classic" film.

Still, a few of the choices being included on the list at all are mind-boggling to me...

horrible, horrible list so far.

so many things i disagree with, but the biggest slap in the face is in the opening 10.

Ben Hur is some how all the way down to 491st?

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest made the list. Empire knows that there are more than 500 films right?

phantom menace is supposedly better than Breakfast at Tiffany's, Ben Hur, Crash, Juno and a couple of other classics, what a crock of crap.

I think this list was made by a couple of high schoolers with Wikipedia.

Yeah Serenity being on there for one and above Kill Bill 2 at that, that says all i need to know about that list really.

That list is terrible.

wiegjasi · 09-29-2009, 06:11 AM

This list is a joke, I agree with a lot of the movies in the list, but the rankings are so backwards. How is Braveheart in the 300's, top 25 easy. I also wondered how A few good men didn't even make it and a beautiful mind. And how can they have Terminator 2 ranked so much higher then the original, are you kidding me!!! As far as comedies go, how can Caddyshack not make the list. What a joke!!!

hardcorefrokid · 09-29-2009, 07:16 AM

Bah!, the list is crap. Blu-ray.com forum members should make the list!

We just put together all 168,731,236,897,316,876,351,567 "what's your favorite movie" and "best movie of all time" threads together and average 'em.
