or how about SHAWSHANK?  I love that filme too. But it disturbes me that it is on the second place, between the two Godfather movies. Third place would be more appropriate. But it is funny that because of that famous list, there is a rivality between two movies that have noting to do with each other.

Yeah THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING is #1  That's the reason why I took this poll to this board. I want you people to change it, because I already gave my vote. So lets vote, guys!

Remember when DISTURBIA was the #1 movie in the country earlier this year? Yeah, that'd be them too  Dude, you watch every piece of shit that's thrown onto a screen...shut your mouth already.
Hey, how's it going?

Dude, you watch every piece of shit that's thrown onto a screen...shut your mouth already. You go into self-exile only to break it with a post like this?? DA, I don't know what issues you have with the member to whom you replied (above) or with the Board in general, but I really wish you'd stop this nonsense!

We voted on another site a while back didn't we?  Anyway, some really good flicks, but my all time favorite IS The Godfather (although I had a hard time deciding between one or two). Anyway, since this is a GF site I expect one and all to vote for you know what or I'll have to break some legs. ;)Capesh? BTW, welcome aboard Speedy!!! TIS

IMDB ratings are crap. All the newly released movies routinely get more than 7.5. I stopped looking at IMDB ratings before I decide to watch a movie, I think some scam is going on. That's true. But to get into the IMDB ranking, you need to have many votes from regular voters. That's the reason why The Godfather is on top. BTW, welcome aboard Speedy!!! Thanks.

LOL actually LOTR is 11 on IMDB and one flew over the cuckoo's nest is 9 so according to that, Vooze is out of date.
This poll is some months old. At this time the ranking was bit different. I remembered this poll from another time and decided to take it hear, to find Godfather-fans who vote for them.

You know, the idea that the "best film" of all time actually exists is completely and totally absurd. But if any of the existing films in IMDB's top ten deserves that top spot, it's Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo.
By the way, since when the fuck is The Departed number 38? IMDB's system is even more fucked up than I thought.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

Godfather 1 & 2 deserve to be as high on the list as possible. Of course there are many deserving movies on the top 250 but what what the fuck is Superbad doing at #19??!! Complete bullshit. A dick joke movie and nothing more. My family wanted to see it though.

But IMDb really sucks, as far as the message boards and top 250 go. Virtually every movie that comes out that's halfway decent to good make it on for a few weeks. That piece of shit Star Wars Episode III was on for a while too.

Is Superbad one of the 250 best films of all time? No. Is it simply a "dick joke" movie? Absolutely not. There is plenty of whit and cleverness behind it, and anyone who has experienced public high school--actually, anyone who doesn't share a heart with Satan and has an ounce of humor in their body--can enjoy it. Most American comedies are absolute shit, and throw around dumb fart jokes and follow it up with little intelligence. But immaturity isn't necessarily a bad thing--immaturity can be a great thing if accompanied by clever satire and intelligence... And Superbad had all of those things.
But then again, is The Godfather one of the five best films of all time? Probably not. It may be one of your favorite films of all time, but on a massive grading scale of every film ever made, it's lucky to be in the top 20.

I'll probably see it again soon anyways, so we'll see..
