>3. City of God- 1295

I liked City of God. But I never thought it was *this* good. I think the setting had a lot to do with people's reactions towards it.

>7. Fargo- 1170

I'm leaning more with 40street on this one. it's a "year's best" film to me, not a "decade's best" one.

>13. The Usual Suspects- 960

Wow. Yikes.

>18. Rushmore- 827

Never understood the appeal of this movie either. I've watched it like three times on cable, too.

>20. The Incredibles- 790

On the record: Pixar's most overrated film.

>21. Batman Begins- 780

WOW!

>22. Lord of the Rings Trilogy- 764

I honestly can't imagine anybody who read the books first thinks highly of the movies. Not that they were bad, but they just pale in comparison. I mean, you might as well put the Harry Potter movies up here.

>25. Ghostbusters- 722

Count me as someone who liked the sequel better.

>27. LA Confidential- 717

Very boring to me.

>37. Memento- 595

Sorry jigga, I really did not like this one.

>41. Miller’s Crossing- 552

Scratch Fargo -- *this* is the Coens' most overrated film.

>42. Forrest Gump- 547

LOL I can't fucking stand this movie.

>48. Anchorman- 501

Old School murders this film!

>54. Boyz N The Hood- 486

bah. Menace is SOOOO much better.

>89. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert
>Ford- 369

I must've seen a different movie than everybody else. Very plain and boring. Good score tho.

Biggest Top 100 omissions:

>109. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles- 311
>120. A Christmas Story- 285
>135. Murderball- 260
>157. National Lampoon’s Vacation- 217
>164. Happy Gilmore- 208
>193. Beauty and the Beast- 173
