DU Top 100 Movie list: Need more replies

[LynneSin]

I'm going to put together a DU Top 100 favorites movie list based on the movies you determine to be the best of all time. I've asked that everyone post their 10 favorites; however, you if you have posted 10 already and have another 10 you'd like to consider - please go ahead!

This is the original link and it was inspired by TIme Magazine's all-time 100 best movies (which personally suck).

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3311044&mesg_id=3311044


My orignal 10 include:

Star Wars - Empire STrikes Back
Godfather 1
Bob Roberts
Citizen Kane
City Lights
Gold Rush
Dr Strangelove
Bowling for Columbine
Goodfellas
Full Metal Jacket

If I had to include the next 10 it would be:
Blue Velvet
Raging Bull
Million Dollar Baby
The Great Dictator
Fahrenheit 9/11
The Fog of War
Star Wars - A New Hope (not ready to make Sith a classic)
Being John Malkovich
Dangerous Liasons
Life is Beautiful


So go ahead and add. I'm going to work on the list this weekend!!
