Both Uknown and Titanic are not the same class with this other 3 movies, but we cant say that some movie "does not belong" on the list, people chose the way the did
Of course there will be some surprising movies on the list cause this is football game, so there arent that many people who watched 1000+ movies But all in all Im happy with they way list looks at end. Would be ever better if there was 10-15 people more voted but oh well, it ended up okay at end .
As for these movies, The Prestige was my 10 pointer, hoped it would end up bit higher as its my all time favourite but its nice to see it made the final list if nothing else.

Just my opinion here ladies & gents.
Of course Titanic was a huge and expensive production with amazing special effects and all, but in the end it was a simple love story. And since I'm a woman I have the right to say that I have watched far more mentionable love stories on the big screen, like : The Notebook or P.S. I love you, etc.
But even the thought of seeing American Beauty higher on the rankings compared to the American History X ( which was a pure masterpiece in every possible way ) just makes me wanna kill myself ! So somebody just shoot me pleaseeeee ! And don't miss!
Right between my eyes . Yes ?

Omg, one of my chosen ones (Million Dollar Baby). And it could be ranked higher

Yes I know Alberto...
This legendary actor & director is one of a kind ! Who will forget Clint Eastwood as the Dirty Harry? And I also voted one of his own movies . I was in a dilemma, between your movie and the Gran Torino.
Both of them absolutely wonderful movies! :thumbsup_tone2:
Need I say that both of them made me cry rivers? Nah... I guess you know it.

Also, how can you want better closure to a film than this? This movie deserved every single of that 5 Academy Awards won. Specially Spacey the legend.
Oh and yeah, nah dont call me Bruce
