There's a reason why origin stories don't draw anymore, brother.

Which has nothing to do with Batman Begins, the movie that kicked off the entire craze
Spiderman?

Oh nice! I actually thought I missed the results thread. 
Thanks to Sam and mariachi for the work and getting this thread out there. I'm glad I could help you guys out a bit.
I personally don't care too much for the Top 10. Five of my ten films made the 10 points cut, of those Vertigo is, as expected, the highest placed. It's by far my favorite film and it made GAF's top 30. I'm quite alright with that.
The full list would be much longer though. Just the one page in the Voting Thread I worked on has almost as many films mentioned as in this OP's list. Would be interested in a Spreadsheet link to the full list.

Something is wrong.
Haha TDK's Oscar snub was so big that it made the Academy change the number of nominees for Best Picture.
Some of you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that TDK is a very popular, critically acclaimed film.

Some boring placements here, but at least it's better than IMDB's list...

we got the top 10 we deserve, and not the one we need right now
I forget what my top 10 even was, it changes a lot.
1. Jaws
2. Die Hard
3. Mulholland Dr.
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
6. The Sweet Smell of Success
7. Sunset Blvd
8. All That Jazz
9. Goodfellas
10. Mad Max: Fury Road
yeah Fury Road is that good
None of that means it deserves to be on a top ten of all time list though

Ledger and Eckhart carried what is an otherwise mediocre and meandering film. Just because they were great actors in it doesn't make it a great film.

Everything I voted for except for Dogville and Fiddler on the Roof made it. I highly recommend both.
Eckhart? lol, he is probably the biggest reason TDK was mediocre.

I never saw the voting thread to vote, but I guess it's no surprise that not a single black movie made it in and the two with the most black people in it are of course by Quentin Tarantino and Do The Right Thing which seems to be the only Spike Lee movie non HBCU university film programs care about.

It's surprisingly low, to be honest. GAF drools over it constantly.
Batman Begins being that low is a goddamn crime
Welcome to internet film discussions.
Jesus, I always have such bog-standard taste.
GAF's number 1 is my number one, 5 of GAF's top 10 make it into mine. Feels odd being normal.
No Star Wars film has any business being anywhere near any list of good movies, though. Never understood the love for it. Disliked it even as a kid.
Dr. Strangelove and Good, Bad n' Uggo both needed to be top 5, though.

It does mean you shouldn't be upset or stunned that it is. I personally wouldn't put Raiders of the Lost Ark or Blade Runner anywhere close to my own top 10, but I recognize that they are very popular, critically acclaimed films, so whatevs.

Huh.
My personal top 10:
1) Brazil (actual rank: #102)
2) ALIEN (actual rank: #5)
3) Fantasia (actual rank: #242)
4) The Maltese Falcon (actual rank: #147)
5) Raiders of the Lost Ark (actual rank: #9)
6) Goodfellas (actual rank: #17)
7) Ran (actual rank: #97)
8) Rear Window (actual rank: #24)
9) Apocalypse Now (actual rank: #13)
10) Princess Mononoke. (actual rank: #50)
I'd probably change my top 10 list now (I changed it twice before the vote was locked in) but that's pretty interesting to see how my tastes directly match up to the GAF popular vote. Because if GAF were ordering my personal top 10, it'd apparently go
1) ALIEN
2) Raiders of the Lost Ark
3) Apocalypse Now
4) Goodfellas
5) Princess Mononoke
6) Rear Window
7) Ran
8) Brazil
9) The Maltese Falcon
10) Fantasia

Nolan is my favorite director and these two posts made me really happy!!
I like The Dark Knight Rises a lot more than Bats Begins though!

Not the order I'd pick them but this is a reasonably good list.
I think that maybe 'we' know better than the hoi polloi.

People being upset is relative. This is a small message board poll so any grievances are just in good fun.

I guess my question to that, is that does Neogaf thinks it holds a higher standard than other sites?
People are already saying "GAF gonna GAF" but honestly, get any internet space with a reasonable population and it's gonna be pretty similar. The IMDB comparisons are a tiny bit of a testament to this, even if it's not quite the same.
Truthfully I at least like every film in the top 100 I've seen, so I'd say I'm pretty happy with ya GAF.
Push everything back 4 hours, you got something you need to do.

According to every FilmGAF thread, yes.

Surprised to see Fight Club so high, but not going to argue
However, Moulin Rouge and City Lights should be much higher.

The first part of Batman Begins is like the only part of that movie I can accept anyone calling the best of the trilogy.
