There's an American civil war and California and Texas are on the same side?!?!

I loved Fury Road, but all that terrible CGI is so disappointing.

Ghost stories on Christmas Eve are a wonderful old English tradition, but a vampire movie on Christmas Day does seem odd, or genius counter-programming.

Cool. My Spotify Wrapped dropped today to remind of what I actually listened to the most this year, so I started working on a rough list that I'll fiddle with until we start in January.

Sounds good. I look forward to introducing you all to a young, up-and-coming band by the name of Sparks.

That was a remarkably close finish for the #1 spot. I thought if anything was going to beat The Shining it would be Empire, but Die Hard made a strong push at the end. It's a ton of fun, just not something I'm emotionally attached to in any way.

Now that you mention it, the fact that no one picked Dead Poets Society is a bit surprising, even though it was a very guy-friendly list. Throw a few women into the mix and Dead Poets Society probably would have appeared, and The Princess Bride would have ranked much higher. I'm a bit surprised Six ...

Shryke, if you're listening, as the only other member of this group old enough to remember coming of age in the 80s, it's no surprise that you'd have The Breakfast Club as your #1. It's also no surprise that you'd have lesser-known picks like Real Genius, The Secret Of UHF, and NIMH. Of all your pic...

I was blocked from posting all day yesterday, but for some stupid reason it's all good today, so thanks Tranny for posting my #1 and my honourable mentions and also my top 30, which I forgot all about. As for StarLord, your list was a pretty straightforward group of universally beloved blockbusters ...

Tranny – Look at you, picking a critically acclaimed film from the Criterion Collection for your #1 instead of some sweaty, blood-splattered, testosterone-soaked action pic. And you even had a foreign language pic in your top 10! We'll make a snob out of you yet. I should probably revisit this film ...

You might as well factor them in if you've gone this far, and posting his top 30 would be nice too.

If we were doing a Sight & Sound poll of filmmakers and critics from all over the world, I would agree with you, but in this small group of mostly young people who are interested in predicting which films will dominate at the domestic box office, I suspect that most of the people who would take part...

I think a 70s list would be nearly as predictable, especially at the top. I'd wager that our collective top 10 would include most, if not all of these films: The Godfather 1 & 2 Star Wars Jaws Chinatown The French Connection The Exorcist Rocky Close Encounters A Clockwork Orange Alien Taxi Driver Th...

This must be the least diverse list we've ever done. If we do a horror one next year, I'm going to make sure I dive deep into Guatamalian folk horror before compiling my list A Guatemalan would probably look at your list and think the choices were pretty obvious. This 80s countdown has the narrowes...

If some eager beaver wanted to do a weighted, cumulative list after we're done, The Shining would be very near the top. as it should be, though I suspect the only decent Star Wars sequel will make a strong comeback after the #1s are revealed. Maybe next October we should do a horror countdown to see...
