An extensive survey of studio chiefs, Oscar winners and TV royalty resulted in The Godfather winning

Shocked to see Groundhog Day out of the top ten in spot 63, and no mention of Hook anywhere.

Hook came in at number 1, but was discounted as the industry execs were obviously taking the PISS. Same old NSC.

No sign of Deep Blue Sea or Sharknado, quite surprising.

The Breakfast Club, why is there such love for that film? It's so overrated.

It just so, so perfectly captured a moment in time in 80s America. It's flaws are part of what makes it so watchable. All imo, of course.

59. Inception MASSIVELY underrated and no The Prestige is a disgrace.

Also no Oldboy which should be in top 20 and Dazed & Confused is a far, FAR superior film to Almost Famous.

Avatar should be nowhere near the top 1000. Dreadful film.

Never understood the love for Godfather, had to force myself to watch it. Fell asleep the first time, second time I turned it off cause I could not understand all the mumbling. Third time I made it through despite the constant clock watching.

Surely Dumb & Dumber should be number one?

There's some tat in there, and no pretentious stuff, so I'm doubly unhappy.

Precisely. It was a downhearted come on, and not a rejoicing one for such tripe. Vertigo at 70. Below North by Northwest. Bejeezus McBumface, they can't even get the Hitchcock films in the correct order.

I think Titanic does have some merits however the depiction of Officer Murdoch shooting passengers is incredibly disrespectful. The man worked to the end trying to launch the lifeboats and the film-makers had the nerve to send executives to apologise to his relatives....and then leave the scene in the film

6 in the top 50 from the Maestro. More than any other director.
