What are your Top movies all time?

Mine:

1. Alien 

2. Star Wars

3. Goodfellas

4. Shawshank Redemption

5. The Thing

For me these movies had the biggest impact...The Exorcist maybe had the largest impact but wasn't my favorite...that movie (saw it at age 7) almost fuggin destroyed my mind.  Scariest shet ever, but again not  top 5 for me.  If you are wondering how I saw Alien, Exorcist at such a young age say hello to HBO...it was new back then but damn loved it.  Also, saw The Shining in the theater, wasn't scary at all at the time.  Phantasm is another one that had me fuggin terrified.

Greatest sequel has to be Empire Strikes Back with Aliens right up there for me.  Rocky 2 was pretty fuggin amazing too.

Greatest old as hell movie is King Kong...that one is amazing for it's time.  Frankenstein is really close and damn near perfection.

Most obscure movie I have seen in a theater: Laserblast - actually liked it too.  Also At Earths Core at the drive in...lol.

1) Cloud Atlas (2012)
2) Casablanca (1942)
3) Gone With the Wind (1939)
4) Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
5) The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

The top two are pretty well set for me.  There are really about twelve films after that though that can go in almost any order depending on when you ask me.

You mentioned best sequel.  It is The Godfather Part II and it is not even close.  I love Aliens, which you mentioned, and it is better than any other ever made, but this is just a different level thing going on.

The Matrix

Terminator 2

Interstellar

Spotlight

The Ninth Gate

 

These are my top 5 favorite. Not necessarily the greatest of all time. If you want the top 5 of all time I'd probably pick 5 out of the top 15 on IMDB.

 

Honorable mention goes to The Big Short.

 

Update: If I had to pick the 5 greatest of all time out of IMDB's top 15...

The Shawshank Redemption

The Godfather Part 1

Empire Strikes Back

Dark Knight

Forrest Gump

Damn honestly I concur on your first 3.

 

Top 5 No Particular Order

1. Gladiator

2. Interstellar

3. The Matrix

4. The Dark Knight Rises - I have this over TDK because I think it is probably the greatest ending to a trilogy there is. The soundtrack was dope and it's the first time we see Batman truly lose

5. Star Wars ( Right now probably ROTJ or Revenge of the Sith)

 

Top 10 would be a lot easier. Honorably mentions

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990

Goodfellas

Scarface ( The original from the 1930's)

2001 Space Odyssey 

The Dark Knight

T2

The Departed

Interview with a Vampire

 

 

There's just too many movies lol

Godfather Part II definitely, though other ones like Terminator 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, LOTR Two Towers, X-men 2, John Wick 2, etc are up there for me.

It really depends on the genre... Too hard to pick a top 5 overall because I like lots of movies a whole lot. So, here's my top 5 critically underrated/overlooked sci-fi films

1. Coherence

2. The Island

3. The Signal (2014)

4. Moon

5. No Escape (1994)

Have not seen any of these. Looked at Moon and Coherence before but didn't get around to watching. The Island seems interesting. Thanks for the list, will have to check them out.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
