Goodfellas
The list has a bunch of documentaries on it and some foreign films, but there were also some notable films that I can't believe they left out of the list. I have no clue how they neglected to include these 10 films:
Saving Private Ryan, The Usual Suspects, The Silence of the Lambs, The Shawshank Redemption, Apollo 13, Braveheart, Good Will Hunting, American Beauty, The Sixth Sense, and A Few Good Men. As far as I am concerned, their list is complete BS without several of these films, but most especially The Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, & Saving Private Ryan. What do you think? Are there other films that you think they dropped the ball on by omitting from the list? Are there any others from the 90s that I forgot in my 10 additions?
I got to number 3 on the list and realized it was worthless. Toy Story 2 is no higher than 5 on my list ;P
ReplyDeleteAgreed there are a few films too high, and as I mentioned earlier they had way too many glaring omissions. Oh well, no list is perfect.
