List by Nick Lyons
My Top 100 Favorite Films
As you would imagine, the order of this list is, for the most part, absolutely futile (despite my attempt to sort them accurately). The only films whose ranks are relatively permanent are the first two entries: Pulp Fiction and American Beauty.

That's all I have to say. Don't want to derail your list any more.
Thanks. I'm done, too. I'm tired of reading absurd, condescending comments.
One more: dude, chill out. A little less angst goes a long way.
;)
It's true: "Angst essen seele auf" (Fear Eats the Soul-- I seized the opportunity to make a movie reference). I hope you see that I still do have a soul behind this prick shell of mine. I'm only insufferable when your opinion differs from mine. :)
I've seen 44 of these movies. Great list :) Glad to see The Royal Tenenbaums, Cinema Paradiso, Fish Tank, Magnolia, Annie Hall, and The 400 Blows on here :)
Glad you agree on those. :)
brilliant list... some of the best movies you have in here. great taste you have.
Awesome list ... you got some of my all-time favs on there:
PULP FICTION ... BLUE VELVET ... CLOCKWORK ... 2001: SPACE ODYSSEY ... MEMENTO ... GODFATHER I & II ... TAXI DRIVER .... BASTERDS ... GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY ... SHINING ... SCHINDLER
Adn big ups for putting DOGTOOTH on there ... I though tI was the only person on this planet who appreciates that film for what it is. Its one of th emost heavily themed films I have ever seen, and its smarter than most people think. Its a shame that film doesnt get recognized enough.
Your list is amazing... Many of these are on my list (And Watchlist lol...)
Thanks, guys.
And yeah, Dogtooth has a brilliantly conceived allegorical plot that often goes without notice due to its "pretentiously bizarre" surface.
