Shawshank isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I do like it a lot. I can understand why it ranks so high.

On this topic, it wasn't until recently I appreciated the first Godfather movie. It took a few viewings, but now I think it's a veritible masterpiece.

I find alot of new movies make it into the top 250 to start with because they base the list on rating! Give it a few weeks and alot of the newer films on that list will drop out.

Basically your right.. What's on the top today may fall to 10th or 15th spot tomorrow and something like Avatar may jump back up to the top depending on the topic of the day.

It was just interesting to see the chart at that time..

Star Wars is out in 3D .. Will it jump to number 1 soon.. Who knows and Jar Jar Binks will be on Top again ( just for Darrell ).. :p

I liked The Shawshank Redemption, but I wouldn't put it #1, I too liked Pulp Fiction better, but then it's not a movie for everyone, my hubby didn't like it......

Out of the top 20, the only one I haven't seen is City of God....never heard of that one.....

In fact, I printed the list off and checked the ones I haven't seen....think I'll use it to rent some movies, so thanx!

It's a Brazilian film about a kid who gets partially involved with Rio street gangs. Good film.

On that list, I haven't seen City of God or Seven Samurai.

I'm glad to see Goodfellas there too, such an awesome movie.

I personally didn't really like Fight Club all that much. The ending is good and all, but it isn't really my type of movie.

I didn't much care for Fight Club much either. It's very preachy. The book is more ambiguous.
And I agree about Goodfella's. Any film with Donovan in the soundtrack is awesome :D

That's funny, I didn't like Fight club either, the rest of the top 20, while not necessarily in my top 20, I liked as films. Now my favorite Western isn't the Good, The Bad and the Ugly but Unforgiven which was only number 96

Unforgiven is a great western, no doubt.
But I dig all Sergio Leone films as well. And Good, Bad, Ugly deserves its place as one of the best. The final scene I don't think has ever been bettered.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie. I just think it's a bit of a stretch that the movie is #1. lol

I think it's a movie that appeals to a very wide audience which probably accounts for all the high votes. I think it's fair for it to make number one
