Casablanca? yes, an excellent movie, but the greatest of all time? would you still think so if it wasn't at or near the top of many film critics' lists of the 'Greatest Ever'? Another movie that receives similar critical acclaim, Citizen Kane, probably deserves it more. also, i deliberately restricted my list to movies that are relatively well known, although i wouldn't have if this was a music list, for some reason.

here's my alternative top 10 - i like these just as much as my other top 10:

Mulholland Drive
Blue Velvet
Blues Brothers
Fargo
The Last Temptation of Christ
The Ring
Citizen Kane
Double Indemnity
Titanic (just kidding!!!! i haven't even seen it)
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
and how could i leave out The Godfather?
and yes, i've seen Casablanca many times, and never get sick of it, so it is in too. And Dr. Strangelove. And The Wizard of Oz.

And The Truman Show.

God movies? That would be like The Ten Commandments, or Jesus Christ Superstar.

Your first sentence is moronic: Yes, I thought it was the greatest movie of alltime BEFORE those lists came out, why do you think the critics put it so highly and Citizen Kane while a really innovative film in many technical aspects is actually rather boring. You "deliberately restricted my list to movies relatively well-known": who are these movies not well-known to besides adolescent stoners!

Why do so many people like "Snatch" but not "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"? The first one is way better, although I admit that it was nice to see Brad Pitt make his lines sound convincing...

The Killing? Never heard of that.

What about a top list of upcoming movies you want to see?

1. Team America: World Police (The title doesn't say much to me, or give me confidence, but it looks funny).
2. Blade Trinity
3. Saw
4. The Manchurian Candidate
5. Any Shaun of the Dead sequel, preferably called "Dave of the Dead" or "Nige of the Dead", to keep the name thing going.
