GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 2001

[jimmy101]

list ranked. I might try to watch The Fast and the Furious again later tonight and see if it makes the bottom half.

Why would you waste your time like that? ;-)

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Looks like we got a tie between the 70's and 90's...

Looks like the tie just broke.

Prelim list. Struggling to actually find 10 movies that I actually liked from 2001 tbqh. I tend to have a problem being overly dismissive of most films. I don't even like all of these movies in my prelim list, a few of them I'd consider decent, or I at least didn't switch them off midway lol.

The One
A Beautiful Mind
Memento
Mulholland Dr.
Ocean's Eleven
Freddy Got Fingered
Blow
Rush Hour 2
The Glass House
K-Pax
How High
Ichi the Killer
A Knight's Tale
Riding in Cars with Boys
Fat Girl

Going to order this champ? Don't have to add numbers but maybe cut it down to 10?

 

[jimmy101]

Nah, best I don't submit a list, I don't even like half of those movies.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh shit i forgot about Blow @CiG im gonna add it to my list.

edit: Switched around the rankings for a few of them too

 

[CiG]

Son of a bitch.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Looks like the tie just broke.

Curious what year the random generator picks. I believe I mentioned it in the last ranking thread but the 90's were so strong I think I could come up with 10 titles for each year. Some might be tricky, but overall, wicked great decade. Not a knock on the 70's mind you. Brilliant decade.

Cheers to everybody for joining in, much appreciated and a pretty interesting final list. Some shit I need to see.

Here's the next game.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Ichi in the top 10 and the right film at number 1. A satisfying list.

 

[Bloopy]

Good work all round! The ties can be numbered 4th= and 7th= son.
