    Of those 3, that's my favourite also.

    Although I truly Frank Darabont should've never included the final beach scene from the movie. Had it been when Red finishes his 'I hope' voice over and the bus turns the corner and out of view, cut to credits there. So the audience is left hoping he can make it and not get caught, hoping they can reunite etc. Because what is the point of the 'I hope' narrative? And hope is what the movie is all about. Just my 2 pence worth, lol.

    lol, the amount of people who said something along those same lines when they first submitted their rankings, that it'd likely change day to day depending on whay in the mood for etc. So there is something to that... and that it's certainly true of me also, lol

    Great work there @Taz, I can't believe I didn't have Goodfellas on my short list, as I'd only just re- watched it, but there were so many great films.

    Great work again @Taz! Many of the top 10 could easily be on a all time top 10 list imo. Coen bros, Scorsese, Tarantino, some of the greatest artists to ever grace the industry. Danny Boyle making a masterpiece of Trainspotting. A great decade for cinema as an artform.

    Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to this Rankdown. It would be impossible without your support in doing this, and for what it's worth gave something to do while in the offseason, lol.

    And while a lot of you all went above and beyond in isting your picks to 20+ (and am very grateful to each of you who did so, as they really do help), of particular note were Cider, Hope & Forest, all of whom contributed 60 rankings, in addition to KG Henrik's 50.

    Everyone's Top 10's

    My son is in his mid 20's now, and on top of everything else, he's heavily into movies.

    When we get together, the subject is often about movies (and music, politics and more). And more than once, he's confessed he wished he was around in the 90's, when quality film was the norm.

    I salute you Taz, a job well done, and an amazing top 100!

    No word of a tie, I could do a top 50 of the movies that didn't even make the Top 100 cut! lol

    Maybe a Best of the 90's, Volume II? haha!
