NeoGAF's Best Film's of All Time, 2015 Edition - Voting Thread

This thread will serve as a compilation of Neogaf's favorite films of all time. Film recommendations seem to be rampant on these forums (I'm among the biggest offenders), hopefully this list can be used as a starting point or reference guide for avid movie watchers on the forum. I'll be tracking everything on this Google Spreadsheet, and updating it periodically during the voting period.

As for the rules:

1) Each Member is allowed to compile a list of up to 10 entries, in order of their personal preference.

2) The point scale will be from 1 to 10, meaning that your number one film will receive 10 points, your second favorite film will receive 9 points - and so forth. In the event that you cannot come up with 10 films, please provide at least 3 films. They will be scored similarly, the only difference being the floor of your scale being higher (A list of three films will be scored from 10-8, a list of 5 films will be scored from 10-6, etc.)

3) Animation and made for Television movies are free game; Mini Series, however, are not allowed.

4) You're not allowed to list an entire Series under a single number, either list all of them within your Top 10 or choose the single best movie from the bunch to represent them all.

6) BE SPECIFIC. Considering the fact that remakes or adaptions sharing like source materials are frequent within the movie industry, please supply the year in which the movie was made so there aren't any misconceptions.

Voting will remain open as long as there is a relatively healthy amount of submissions. You're allowed to edit your list anytime within the voting period. Obviously voting must come to a close at some point, but I'll give a few days notice before it occurs. Once voting has ended, I'll create a new thread compiling all your submissions into a single list. My Photoshop skills are decent enough, but if anyone is interested in providing their graphic design expertise to creating the OT thread - then I definitely welcome the help! Simply PM me if that's the case.

As always, these lists are purely opinion so please refrain from being critical of another's list, be respectful and happy voting.

1) The Shawshank Redemption

3) The Dark Knight
4) The Matrix
5) The Princess Bride
6) Fight Club
7) The Usual Suspects
8) The Borne Identity
9) The Fugitive
10) The Goonies

I guess I like movies that begin with "The"!

Hopefully we can edit our lists up to a certain point? I keep thinking of movies I missed like Gladiator, Shaun of the Dead or Batman Begins. Also, these are our favorite movies right? I fully realize some of the movies I picked would never make a real "best" movie list, but I enjoy them. I basically picked movies I can watch over and over. I'm usually one and done with most Oscar winning movies.

Really interested in seeing what will be Gaf's top films. However I won't partake, it's just too hard to arrange all the movies I love in a single list in regards to overall quality. I'd be constantly interchanging different movies with certain positions and would never be completely happy with the results. But vote away and don't forget about foreign language films Gaf! :)

Silly trying to place these incredible films in any kind of order, but maybe with a group vote we can find some kind of consensus...

Also, guys, try not to forget all about the comedies! Comedies are so hard to do, good ones deserve acclaim. Animated films, too.

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. The Good, the Bad and The Ugly
3. Withnail and I
4. Alien
5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
6. Life of Brian
7. Master and Commander
8. There Will Be Blood
9. Grave of the Fireflies
10. Spirited Away

I actually couldn't fit Godfather Part 2 or The Terminator in there, picking 10 movies is insane.
 
1. Avatar
2. Prometheus
3. Cars 2
4. The Scorpion King
5. Shrek
6. Superman Returns
7. Bruce Almighty

6. The Silence of the Lambs
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark
8. Goodfellas
9. Back to the Future
10. Lawrence of Arabia

That, and every time I read someone's list I'm thinking "Damn, I forgot about X, Y, and Z." haha
 
Oh god... Here goes...

1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
2. Blue Velvet (1986)
3. The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
4. Videodrome (1983)
5. M (1931)
6. Oldboy (2003)
7. Zodiac (2007)
8. Magnolia (1990)
9. Pyscho (1960)
10. Casablanca (1942)

Very, very tough... Some ordering is completely debatable, especially since I've watched some of these more recent than others.
 
1. The Dark Knight
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Toy Story 3
4. No Country For Old Men
5. There Will Be Blood
6. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
7. Good Will Hunting
8. Princess Mononoke
9. Fargo
10. Children of Men

This is like 100% arbitrary outside of the top 3.

I looked up my list from 2013, similar movies but jumbled order. Guess I appreciate Road Warrior the more I watch it.

Honorable mentions: Hot Fuzz, Blue Velvet, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Brazil.
 
Ooph... I'm gonna need to watch more movies before I vote.

You could tweak it just once, man... Just once ;)

I've already done my one change.

And then I see other people's lists and I'm like... fuuuuck. So much good stuff. My list has no Blade Runner on it. No 2001. No Ikiru. No Grave of the Fireflies. I've only got the one Spielberg, how did that happen? Is a Ridley Scott movie REALLY my #2 of all time? For a guy who has devoted entirely WAY too much of his life to talking about Star Wars in one form or another, Empire doesn't show up at all - and might not show up even if this list went out to 20 films.

Hmmm...
No 2001. No Ikiru. No Grave of the Fireflies.
Son... (You're older than me, but I'm still going to call you 'son')
I've only got the one Spielberg, how did that happen? Is a Ridley Scott movie REALLY my #2 of all time?
Son! (Don't question having a Scott movie, especially when it's ALIEN)
For a guy who has devoted entirely WAY too much of his life to talking about Star Wars in one form or another, Empire doesn't show up at all - and might not show up even if this list went out to 20 films.
Okay, this is legit disappointing... But I can't say I'm that surprised. There are so many great films (that I haven't watched) out there, so it's a hard choice, but you did what you have to.
