Time Picks Top 100 Films

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-about-starship-troopers dept.

gollum123 writes "Time magazine on Monday published its list of 100 all-time favorite movies ranging from Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" (1931) to Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (1993) and 2003 computer-animated hit "Finding Nemo." But critics Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss snubbed several classics such as 1939's "Gone with the Wind". Almost half of the films were made outside the United States. Here is the full list."

    Dude, you are so lol.

    Three kings? Topgun?!

    You obviously don't have a clue about real movies. I'm talking about Donnie Darko, A Beautiful Mind, The Exorcist,...

      You keep misspelling that word. I don't think it's spelled the way you think it's spelled.

    Smokey and the Bandit...a true classic that has been worthy of replay on WAY too many channels lately.

    For my money, nothing says classic movie like a story about a truck and a car going to get beer.

    Tuition/yr costs as much as a luxury car

    This one is especially awful. Luxury cars have become way too cheap. Seriously, if any family that can afford college can afford a luxury car, is it really a luxury anymore??
