IMDB's top 50

Movie lists are sometime annoying - in that I honestly cannot agree with most of them. IMDB has compiled its final list of the top 50 films of all time. (Its done by user comments, reviews, star ratings, etc etc). So here it is (and my thoughts)

1. The Shawshank Redemption (couldn't agree less. I actually dont like this movie)
2. The Godfather
3. The Godfather Part II
4. The Dark Knight (certainly this is a joke. I mean it was good .. but awful)
5. Buono il Buono il cattivo (what the hell?)
6. Pulp Fiction (okay!)
7. Schindlers List
8. One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest
9. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
10. 12 Angry Men
11. Casablanca
12. Star Wars
13. Schichihin no Samuri (??)
14. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (eh)
15. Goodfellas (yay!)
16. Rear Window
17. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
18. Ciadad E Duec
19. C'era Una Volta en West
20. The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings (eh)
21. The Usual Suspects
22. Psycho (yay)
23. Fight Club (double yay)
24. Silence of the Lambs (triple yay)
25. Dr. Strangelove
26. North By Northwest
27. Momento (wow!)
28. Sunset Blvd.
29. Citizen Kane (didn't they used to list this as #1?)
30. The Matrix (what the hell?!)
31. Wall-E (is this a joke?!!)
32. The Lord of the Rings: Two Two Towers (aaaggg! all three??)
33. It's a Wonderful life
34. Se7en (good)
35. Lawrence of Arabia
36. Apocalypse Now
37. Leon'
38. Taxi Driver
39. American Beauty (yay)
40. American History X (maybe the best on the list)
