Here's what I've watched from the poll.

Some good movies on the list, but it seems like it's a list of movies from people who are more dedicated to videogames, who would have thought.

Guess I'll do this too. As obvious I need to see more movies....

Seen all of the top ten except for Indiana Jones and Star Wars (not a fan of these films).

2001 at the top spot is a pleasant surprise. My favourite film of all time, and I'm glad that GAF agrees :p

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Looking at the list and comparing it to my own.

  1. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
  2. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
  3. No Country for Old Men (2007)
  4. Pulp Fiction (1994)
  5. Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
  6. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
  7. Låt den rätta komma in (2008)
  8. Rear Window (1954)
  9. Watchmen (2009)
  10. Fanny och Alexander (1982)

First of all, noone but me voted for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Not only that but it's misspelled as Hedwig and the Angry Witch in the list. :mad:

Watchmen failed to qualify. Fanny and Alexander places at 251. Nightmare Before Christmas places just outside the top 200 and Låt den rätta komma in (Let the Right One In) just inside. No Country for Old Men, Rear Window and Once Upon a Time in the West places in the top 50. Pulp Fiction and Lawrence in the top 10, as expected.

All in all: I'm a 30-something, white, heterosexual guy who enjoys video games. While the difference isn't alarming there's enough evidence that I stray a bit from a very homogeneous group.

Huh, looking at the raw data it looks like my list wasn't counted. Ah well. Over 800 unique entries across (I'm guessing) 400 odd lists is not bad though.

I can't stand comic book movies. I've tried many times. I liked GotG because it was different and more comical. That said, I loved Watchmen. The opening sequence alone is a thing of beauty.

Yea. Watchmen's intro is a thing of beauty. I've watched it several dozen times and I'm amazed every single time. There's so much in that movie that I love.

It hard to say the film doesn't have staying power. In 20 years having it on these types of lists may very well be assumed.
Do you believe that honestly or are you just saying it? In twenty years i think it will be remembered maybe as the highlight of the comic frenzy but not as much else, which is sad because much better comic movies gave released in the same period.

Heath Ledger's passing pretty much guarantees that this will be talked about for the next 50 years.
