[Minder]

OK, to get us going I'll start with those films who came in at tied 44th place. These movies all received 1 first place vote, for 5 points, and nothing else. In no particular Order, your tied 44th place movies are ....

44   Love Actually   2003
44   The Breakfast Club   1985
44   Cool Hand Luke   1967
44   Doctor Strangelove   1964
44   Koyaanisqatsi   1982
44   Hunger   2008
44   Raging Bull   1980
44   Apocalypse Now   1979
44   Betty Blue   1986
44   Taken   2008
44   Terminator II   1991
44   Kings   2007
44   Carlito's Way   1993

44   The French Connection   1971
44   Jean de Florrette   1986
44   Life is Beautiful   1997

IMO those films should be higher.

French Connection should be far higher but I am willing to accept the democratic will of the Gaa Board.

It's a great film and probably would have been in my top 5. It's a numbers game though so I have a feeling it'll be dung (IMO) like Braveheart and The Shawshank Redemption in the overall Top 5.

[bennydorano]

More than one person voted for my Event Horizon then?  Top show, only to be watched when in the horrors.

No benny. You voted for that in 5th place, I.e. one point. Didn't make the cut.

Would have been suprised tbh. Philistines round  here

French Connection was my no 1 did anyone else give it a vote?

[AZOffaly]

Nope. Don't think so. The referee's decision is final

f**k that, democracy brought us CJ Haughey and Bertie. Time for a totalitarian regime.

Philistines indeed, i'm the only one to vote for Life is Beautiful??? Find it hard to get the head around that. Right enough had not seen any other votes so didn't even think it would make the list which would have been a travesty! Think a few voted for the Boy in Striped Pyjamas - though might be getting confused with the move recommendations thread - good film no doubt but not in the same league.

Likewise Apocalypse Now, Raging Bull and French Connection...

[The Iceman]

Some of yous take this too serious. It isn't a beautiful imagery, cinematography, Queens University Master in Film Studies competition.
This is a I could watch this film any time of the day or night if it was on, watch it over and over again and not get sick of it type of thing.....

[Captain Obvious]

The internet is serious business.

[nrico2006]

Surprised to see Raging Bull and Apocalyse Now down there!!

Apocalypse Now is the biggest pile of dung I have ever had to sit through.

[AZOffaly]

Number 43, on it's own, receiving 1 3rd place and 1 4th place vote for 5 points is Clint Eastwood's 1985 Western Pale Rider

39 Pale Rider 1985 Not On

We have a 4 way tie for 39th place, the last of the movies receiving 5 points. These movies received two votes each, 1 second place vote and 1 5th place vote.

39 Cinema Paradiso 1988 Not On
39 The Matrix 1999 Not On
39 No Country for Old Men 2007 More 4 23/12 @ 00:00
39 North by North West 1959 Not On

[Billys Boots]

Three goodies there.  Looks like, for the first time, I'll have three of my five in the Top 50.

[Tony Baloney]

Haven't seen The Matrix since it was released. The last in the trilogy ruined it for me but it was a great show in its day.

Have never seen Cinema Paradiso.

[Olly]

Is it too late to vote?

1. The Talented Mr Ripley
2. Brokeback Mountain
3. In and Out
4. The Birdcage
5. Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D

everytime you see one of those question and answer things in a newspaper or a match programme, guarenteed 100% an inter county GAA player will give this as his favourite film
