I'm not sure if I repeated any of your selections, but almost every "Best" or "Greatest" excludes most of the ones I have listed. Almost as the judges have been living in a cave.
The Last of The Mohicans, Rob Roy, Dances With Wolves, Apocalypto, and The Patriot are five of the greatest adventure movies ever made.
What About Bob, My Cousin Vinny, Weekend at Bernie's, Ruthless People, and The Producers (2005) are five of the best comedies ever made.
And Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, A Simple Plan, The Italian Job, and Burn After Reading are right there with Jackie Brown and Snatch.

My problem is in differentiating between my favorites and 'the best'. Expect a bit of both.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't Sex and the City 2 . . .

Rosebud, and I heard it, was a sled. It was a symbol of his childhood. He simply hated growing old, and didn't want to die. He wanted to be 10 forever.

Why do people consider "Gone With the Wind" a great movie? It is over acted, over directed, over produced, and over written!
