Not a chance.

What we ought to do is change one, then let people decide if it's better or not, then go to more.

It will take me some time to think more about this list

 

[calsnowskier]

A New Hope is better than Night of the Living Dead. Comparable to Apocalypse Now...

Empire Strikes Back over Evil Dead.

Goodfellas over Godfather (I or II)??

Full Metal Jacket vs Field of Dreams is a tough one...

"S" is a tough one. Shawshank and Saving Private Ryan are both all-time epics.

Warriors over Wizard of Oz?? Not a fan, but West Side Story is a classic as well.

I would nominate both Metropolis and Matrix for "M". Dark horse for Memento.

Hustler was great, but I nominate Holy Grail.

I like this idea.

Lets take the weekend to get some nominations for each letter.

In all fairness I did this kinda just off the top of my head... I love Empire Strikes Back, my fav of the series but Evil Dead is my favorite horror movie of all time... Goodfellas was an excellent movie but I have no problem listing Godfather. Warriors over Wizard of Oz? Well again this was off the top of my head and it's whats called an opinion.
