Which is inevitable amonst a mass culture where Arrested Development gets canceled and Dave Matthews is successful.

  • bralynn, on 10/09/2008, -2/+11Forrest Gump is amazing.
  • thegamingguy, on 10/09/2008, -0/+9I agree with some of it, but Goodfellas is pretty much cash, and Scarface is decent enough to stay off that list... even though I am guilty of overrating it myself.
  • scottinks, on 10/09/2008, -1/+8I can't believe you dissed Clerks and Goodfellas. Pulp Fiction is #1 on my list.
  • bjenidles, on 10/09/2008, -1/+7#11 Titanic.
  • badwithcomputer, on 10/09/2008, -1/+5wtf- goodfellas?!?!? that is one of the most amazing films of all time. it's flawless from beginning to end.
  • CrucialMatt, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4god dammit!! So these are the people that stole my domain name idea!!
  • willy3121, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4Since he has such a discerning taste in movies, I wonder what some of Mr. Johnston's favorite movies are. Probably just stuff that us commonfolk have never heard of :)

    PS. Nobody loves Star Wars for its dialogue or Clerks for its acting.
  • Beatlemaniac, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2This list is a ***** failure. He puts Schindler's List at #1 but doesn't even give a half-decent explanation why. It's heavy-handed? In what way?
  • AmyVernon, on 10/09/2008, -1/+3Wow. That's pretty ballsy, dissing Schindler's List...

    But Goodfellas totally doesn't belong on this list. It's an amazing film. And as for Do the Right Thing, since when does any film reflect how (un)attractive people are in real life?
  • duggtodeath, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2This article sucks. He makes sense only in the Star Wars ribbing. Everything else is just random ranting.
  • daveyWSS, on 10/09/2008, -1/+2sounds to me like someone woke up in a ***** mood and decided they wanted to piss and moan about things all over the internet.
  • matador0, on 10/09/2008, -1/+2I think they should make a horror movie about this article
  • inactive, on 10/09/2008, -1/+2buried like, Ledger.
  • squishee, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Take nudecelebritydeathhummerstretchlimo.com instead. That'll show 'em!
  • twertyto, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Buried for disrespect to Star Wars.

    BTW The Godfather series should be added to that list.
  • 5fifteen, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1Worst article ever.
  • inactive, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1You want a good movie? "Call Northside 777." Great example of film noir.
  • kayaness, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Not sure how this article got this far. "And that stupid feather?" Dude, it's a ***** feather, relax. With the amount and kind of justification used here, just about any movie can be made to suck. Trollery rewarded. For shame.
  • futureTheKid, on 10/09/2008, -0/+0Dugg for including Crash, even though I disagree with some of the others. Priorities.
  • fefu, on 10/09/2008, -1/+1I actually like some of these movies, but I liked the article. Have a bad day there, fella? LOL.
  • velvetteddy, on 10/09/2008, -0/+0Just to clear up Amy Vernon's Do The Right Thing Comment....I was referencing the fact that most of Bed Stuy was a hellhole around that time. Rumor has it that Spike Lee went in, painted the block and did some renovations to make it look better. It was more a dig(g?) at the authenticity of his film, not the peeps on the street. That being said, John Turturro is a strange looking dude.
  • pAq6Swad, on 10/09/2008, -5/+4Buried for Forrest Gump.
  • muskawo, on 10/09/2008, -3/+1I loathe kevin smith and every movie he's made. so overrated.
  • WyldeJ, on 10/09/2008, -4/+2I don't know about Schindler's List, but this is more of a ***** LIST!

    That wasn't very punny.

    Seeing as I've replied to myself one already, I may aswell go the whole hog and link myself to:
