Original Message:

[Show spoiler]With the recent outcome of the Sight & Sound poll and the reactions from forum members, as well as the many top 10 lists in the "greatest of all time master thread", I thought it would be very interesting to prompt all of you to post as close to a definitive personal top 20 list in this thread and gather a consensus for the greatest 100. Some other sites and forums have done this to surprising results.

So here's the deal: Only make one post in this thread for your top 20 list. You can edit it as often as you like before the deadline of September 3, 2012, but do not make more than one post for your list. Do your best to make it as definitive as possible. You may have fond favorites, but be objective about which films you feel deserve to be included in your top 20 of all time. 1 to 20 points will be assigned to each entry on each list depending on its placement, and the points will be tallied to determine the final 100 after the deadline.

Post your list here! This thread is for the express purpose of coming up with a consensus top 100.

Please list 1 movie per ranking (Example: "8. Star Wars" not "8. Star Wars Trilogy")
