Let me be the first to say I really like all the 'Top X Countdown' threads that pop up every now and again on these here boards. It's been a while (if ever) that I've seen a top films countdown. (I'm aware there's a top animated films countdown taking place at the mo).
Anywho, for anyone who wants to contribute, please PM me your top 25 films, ranked 1-25 so i can score them. Alternatively you can post your choices in this thread.
I will stop accepting votes on the 18th of January, 3.00pm Eastern Time
There's really only really one rule for this; please don't vote for films collectively i.e. dont vote for the Godfather or Back to the future Trilogies as one film. Other than that, vote for whatever you want, you don't have to justify any of your choices to anyone.
With that, I await your lists with interest. over and out.

A top 25 is going to be difficult, so many good films. Begins calculating a list.

yeah I understand that narrowing the field down to 25 is very hard, but to make it easier for all involved (me actually), I think 25 is the right number.

After looking at Mr Mister Meercatpants' list, I see that one more rule is needed;
If you are nominating a film which has another film of the same name e.g. Scarface, please distinguish which of the films you mean. For example
Scarface (The 80's one with Al Pacino) or Scarface (The original 1930's one)
Please and thank you.

^ You surel ike zombie movies, huh? I'm no good at these things, I can never pick just 25, and I can never put them in order. All I know is Life of Brian is top, and Holy Grail, Die Hard, The Matrix, Hot Fuzz, The Truman Show, The Number 23, PotC 1-3, The Naked Gun, and Terminator are all in there somewhere.
