A list of the best movis not to be in the top: 250


i would say this film should be in the top: 250 but as itis an average and not my personal choice (terrible) its not in it
i would also include collateral, one of my favourite films of last year
perhaps also gangs of new york
what about you?

Good question.

In my opinion:

You can Count on Me
Dead Ringers
South Park: The Movie
The Man Who Would Be King
Wonderboys
The Day of the Jackal (THE ORIGINAL VERSION!!!!)
Sweet and Lowdown
The Producers
Cape Fear (The remake)
Boy's 'N' The Hood
The Lady Vanishes (I'm not sure if this is in the top 250, it should be.)
Yellow Submarine
Long, Good Friday :)
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Nine Queens
The Pink Panther


and maybe, I'm undecided, The Wickerman and the Ratatcher.

And there are two action movies which I enjoyed too:

Die Hard 3 and Independence Day.

Davis. Including Land of the Dead in your list of turkeys seems somewhat unfair. It is not up to the standard of the first two fims in the series, but it is still pretty good. It is certainly no Pearl Harbor.

reply

""Freddie Got Fingered"....that moronic piece of nonsenceical (so-called) comedy?? You've GOT to be kidding Yeah, it should be in the top 250. Top 250 razzies I mean.

Sorry to Tom Green! but what can you do with a piece of dribble like that? Not to mention he is NOT a very good actor.

THIS IS NOT HERE

ok first of all you've titled your post as: A list of the best movis not to be in the top: 250

you wrote NOT, and it seems as though everyone has written movies they think SHOULD BE in the 250 list. I can't believe people didn't bother reading this before they posted.

reply

Yes, well done you have spotted a mistake *clap*, but I will chose to ignore it and post my favourite films anyway.

Adaptation
I Heart Huckabees
Punch-Drunk Love
American Splendor
Napoleon Dynamite

What are you saying? Logically, the best films not in the top 250 are naturally what people think should be in the top 250. What's the difference?

Blue Velvet
Eraserhead
The Hudsucker Proxy
Naked Lunch
Unbreakable
Changing Lanes
Dark City
A.I.
PI
Adaptation
Strange Days
Airplane

Films that should NOT be in the top 250:

Lord of the Thingies!!!

. . . closing walls and ticking clocks . . .

Top Five that should be in

Waking Life
