I totally forgot about this, so I didn't vote (my votes wouldn't have mattered anyway, still...), but I can't believe A Clockwork Orange got NO VOTES!!?!? Easily one of the 20 best movies since 1970.
Se7en might be one of the top 50 movies since 1970, but certainly not the best, and I challenge anyone to make a case that it is. I would have pegged Pulp Fiction as #1 for this list, with Godfather I as #2 (even though II was better), and Goodfellas as #3. I guess I wasn't too far off...
Movies in the top 20 that aren't even among the 100 best since 1970: Braveheart, The Matrix, Gladiator, Forrest Gump, possibly Silence Of The Lambs.
Pleasant surprises: Shawshank #6 (top 20 for me, but for some reason, I wasn't expecting it to be so high here), Boyz (not in my top 20, but nice to see it get some recognition), Schindlers List and Saving Private Ryan and Scarface and Full Metal Jacket NOT in the top 20 (nor should they be).
Anyway, my #1 would have been Godfather II. Just wanted to get something out there, since I missed the deadline.
Good job Galt.
