I love it when we have some good threads here and everyone gets involved.

Agreed, its always fun and good to have these type of debates, even if sometimes people end up sat on opposite sides of the fence now and then.

Its nice to see
Glengarry Glenn Ross make the final cut of someone's list. I expected to be the only person who had that movie in their top 20 and was all geared up to get behind it in a bid to win a few extra votes, for what is, a beautiful character study with some phenomenal acting performances.
Most of the movies that made my list are drama/ character study as that's the type of movie I tend to enjoy. To be honest, I wouldn't consider my list particularly inclusive of all genres and styles or even that varied. There are a couple of flicks that I would back that most of you guys will probably consider 'arty', pretentious, cliché and boring, but I can live with that and will give them my full backing if I think I can sneak any of them into the final cut. But then again, I will just as happily be backing Spinal Tap.
I would still like to reserve the right to be a whiney little bitch if Happy Gilmore makes the cut though. :danger:
