The SHH's Best Films of All Time Tournament: NOMINATIONS

[DirtyHarry]

Well, I promised you guys this and here it is, the big enchilada .

Post a list of your favorite films/films you consider the best ever on here.

The limit is 40. There is no minimum requirement and the order does not matter. You can only include a film once in your list.

Don't be afraid to repeat. The more times a movie is listed, the higher its chances of getting in.

If you add to/switch a film in your list, be sure to let me know just in case I miss it. I am aiming for the 150-200 mark this time since it will be my last tournament. I'll also try to limit the superhero films that get in since there will be biased voters and we already had a tournament for them.

Remember, this thread is for nominations, I will make a seperate thread for the actual tournament in January.

At the end of the tourney, I'll make a list of the SHH's top 50 movies based on the voting. There is no rush, guys. Take your time if you want and I'll try not to screw up too much t:

DEADLINE: December 5th

[Persona]

I will have to think about this for a while. I haven't come up with 40 films, more like 140 for now

i have a Top 100 on my Facebook that i keep updated and feel reasonably happy with, as far as these things go, but 40 feels like i'm leaving way too many favorites out.

 

[Human Torch]

Eh,I guess I'll pass on making a list.I'm sure my choices won't be nearly pretentious enough to make the cut.75% are probably in the Comic Book "genre".

 

[Persona]

No Country For Old Men
Aguirre, Wrath of God

these two should be on mine but i don't feel like going back in and figuring out which movies to take out.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Actually with 200 films, the field will be varied. Animated, comedy, horror, etc. I just said I'll keep the superhero films limited to a few because there will be biased voters.

Eh,I guess I'll pass on making a list.I'm sure my choices won't be nearly pretentious enough to make the cut.75% are probably in the Comic Book "genre".
