Anyway, imdb top list isn't really fair just because the majority of users are americans... I don't have anything against americans, but just look that list: many of these movies are blockbusters. Even if many are "good" blockbusters, they're still "hollywood-style" spectacular movies...
Even if I love Star Wars or LOTR, there are so many more interesting movies in the history of cinema... too bad...


There's a variety to America, some people think things out before they cast a vote and some rate Batman Begins as the 81st greatest film of all time. Either way, all have access to a computer.

Allright, I've assembled my own reorder of the top ten using IMDBs top 250, I haven't seen every film on the top 250 and the order is a little wish-washy cause I consider all the greatest films of all time equally greatest of all time, but bear with me.

1 - Fight Club*
1 - Dr. Strangelove
1 - A Clockwork Orange
1 - Scarface (80s)
1 - Empire Strikes Back (more as a representative of the whole OOT)
1 - Apocalypse Now
1 - Taxi Driver
1 - The Shining (just for simply kicking ass)
1 - Blade Runner*
1 - Casablanca

"2001: A Space Odyssey" would have made it on my top ten, but since it's greatness cannot be measured in puerile mortal numbers I'll have to settle for tacking it on the end. imdb's list should start right after A Space Odyssey and A Space Odyssey's authority at the top must never be questioned by any movie of lesser status.

How bout anybody else's edit of the imdb list?
