Strange, I just watched Shawshank earlier and checked out
where it was on this list.

I'd give it 4, why don't you like it?

Out of those I've seen (I'm not much into films):

The Godfather **
The Shawshank Redemption ****
Schindler's List ***
Pulp Fiction **

Like I said, I'm not much into films. Forrest Gump is my
favourite film I think and that's 80-something.

Usual Suspects.... what a pisspoor list. I'm with darius,
only Strangelove deserves to be there.

The Godfather 2 is better than no 1 because it has the

I rated Jackson's movies so low because they made me realize

I did consider creating a thread, Rate IMdB's 21st to
40th Films but thought it would be pushing my luck.

The Third Man and Der Untergang are just as worthy of being
in that 'top 20' as any already included. memento at 26 is a
