[Sarge 2.0]

Hahahaha! This entire thread has only one response to someone else's post! And it's a negative one!

Genius.

I think top ten lists are rather pointless, don't you?

 

[TLH]

Just curious, have you seen more than like, twenty movies in your life?

Uh, yes. I've seen tons of movies, but just because I've seen or even liked a movie doesn't mean I think it should automatically get a spot on a top-5 or top-10 list.

For instance, this is my top superhero film list:

1. The Dark Knight
2. Iron Man
3. Batman Begins
4. Spider-Man 2
5. The Incredible Hulk

If I had to make a top 10, I'd probably include Batman Returns, Batman 89, Spider-Man, and a few others. But they get the remaining spots by default because I'd need another 5 to meet the top 10 criteria. They don't get on the list because I feel they are my personal top 10...you see what I'm saying?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

I think top ten lists are rather pointless, don't you?

Yeah it kinda is, I mean, it's pretty damn hard to rank your favorite movies... and if you finally succeed to make such a list and post it in a stupid thread like this, no-one is gonna read it anyway... If this thread was named your favorite film per genre, it would be a bit more interesting, but then again, people would start posting lists anyway...

Wow, we're actually talking (i.e. writing) about something instead of posting lists! I don't think this thread is meant for that! Let's take it somewhere else.
