The Best Movie of All Time A-Z

[Innermind]

The letter Y is sorta sparse, however I remember a very good film I saw again just a few days ago:
Young Sherlock Holmes


Then there's the Western film:
Young Guns




For N, add:
Natural Born Killers

 

[Innermind]

K is sorta a short list too, so let's add:
Karate Kid
Kingdom of Heaven
Kelly's Heroes



The Letter J could use some love too, so let's add:
Jim Thorpe All American
The Jungle Book
Joe Kidd
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Jumanji

 

[KnightAndDay]

X: X-Men: Days of Future Past

 

[Innermind]

H could use a few more choices, so:

The Hangover
Harold and Maude
Heaven Can Wait
Heavy Metal
Highlander
High Plains Drifter
History of the World Part 1
Hostel
Hotel Rwanda



And here's a few more for I too:

I Am Sam
Independence Day
The Illusionist
Interview with the Vampire
Insomnia
Ice Station Zebra




A few more for E:

Enemy at the Gates
Emeny Mine
Escape From New York

Animal House

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Dances With Wolves

Empire of the Sun

Forrest Gump

Hoosiers

Master and Commander

Papillon

Planet of the Apes

Young Guns

These are all movies I could probably get behind for best of status

I never understood how people thought Natural Born Killers was a good movie, I couldn't even watch the whole movie it was so bad...

GREAT work here.

I have no idea how we are going get this down to 5-ish per letter.

I would like to have no less than 3 (for "Z"), bit not more than 7 or so ("M" and "P")...

 

[Nosferatu]

I think 5 is a good number... But yeah, might not be able to get to 5 for a few letters...

 

[Innermind]

Yeah... depending on the letter, we might have 7 or 8 or even 9 final choices... but for other letters, we might struggle to get even 3... with perhaps the average being approx. 5 or 6 for most letters.

We should just be flexible in coming up with a final list... with some letters having a lot of choices and other letters not so much.

Maybe do it like a playoff bracket.
Movie Tourny.
Do it by letter if there are a lot in that letter or have xyz compete, etc.

 

[calsnowskier]

Das Boot... D or B?

El Cid... E or C?

Il Postino... I or P?


I think these are all "the", so these should be B, C and P...

 

[calsnowskier]

Ok, I have a master list of everything that has been mentioned in this thread to this point. I also added a few extras (Sixteen Candles, Christmas Story, etc).

One question...

Should we add a new category for numbers?

Why put Twelve Angry Men under T instead of #?

Further, if we do this, where do we put One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest?

Only do a number if the original movie used a number instead of a word.
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is a word.
4:10 to Yuma a number
That would be my suggestion.

12 monkeys = #
Twelve Angry Men = T

I can go with that...

 

[outofyourmind]

I was looking at a list of movies that start with a number and there are way more than I was thinking.
here's a link

[outofyourmind]

It's 3:10 to Yuma by the way.

LOL

It is actually "12 Angry Men" and "Twelve Monkeys"

I messed that one up...

Use Innermind's list. I didn't examine it but it looked like it was pretty comprehensive. Post a poll for A from those. Top 5 vote getters move on to the final... repeat for each letter. It would take awhile.

 

[calsnowskier]

This is what I have for "A". My moms are bolded...

The Adventures of Robin Hood
Airplane
The African Queen
Alien
Aliens
All About Eve
All the Presidents Men
All Quiet on the Western Front
Amadeus
American Beauty
American Graffiti
American History X
An American in Paris
An American Werewolf in London
Anatomy of a Murder
Animal House
Annie Hall
The Apartment
Apocalypse Now
Apollo 13
Arthur
Austin Powers Trilogy
Avatar
The Avengers[/COLOR]

How about trilogies and such?

Star Wars? Indiana Jones? Austin Powers? Godfather? Kill Bill?
