I’m aware we are from different generations so you love older movies than me. I did see some of them though.

My top 50 consist of 10/10s only but here are some of my ratings for yours:

The Last of the Mohicans (1992): 8.5/10
41) Schindler's List (1993) 8.5/10
43) L.A. Confidential (1997) 9.5/10
45) The Whole Nine Yards (2000) it’s kind of cool for you to have that one on your list. 7.5/10
46) The Lord of the Rings (2001 (9/10), 02 (9/10), 03 (9.5/10)
47) The Last Samurai (2003): 8/10
50) St. Vincent (2014) 8/10

Oh and we both have a Terminator film. 👍

I'm a big fan of The Land Before Time, Braveheart, The Lion King and Homeward Bound. The rest are okay for the most part, but very predictable for a top 50 list - that's not a bad thing, but it is a very typical looking list.

[–] StoneKeeper (21339) a month ago

I do see what you mean.

I am not a movie buff nor do I have particular or even peculiar tastes in films. Just a typical movie loving guy. :)

I do have a few titles in there that I’m sure are not often found on Top lists or even that most people haven’t seen. (Biutiful, l’écume des jours, Im a cyborg…)

[–] Wint3rFir3 (6931) a month ago

Those are cool. I haven't seen I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK yet, but I'm a huge South Korean film and drama nerd, so I wanna check it out now, especially if it's anything like Are You Human Too? I saw L'ecume des Jours when it came out and all I can recall is that Audrey Tatou is in it and it's sad, but not much else, might've blocked it out due to trauma haha. Biutiful I've never heard of, but I'll add it to the to-watch list if it catches my interest.

Again, the rest of the list could be anyone's top movies list, but these kind of unique collection of films really highlight you and your individual taste.
