Which one? Pick one! This one? Classic

I bought Empire this month with the usual happiness. More perhaps seeing as Watchmen is on the cover.

So I spent the afternoon reading through it seeing whats what in the film world, and I enjoyed reading it. Little did I know the horror that was waiting......just......around the......page.

Well bugger me. Better get my knuckle dusters ready, as this is gonna cause riots.

My issue with this is......

What defines greatest? My favourite films are very different to the greatest films ever made.

I mean, Titanic is one of the greatest films ever made on a production scale. But it is a bad bad bad film. I mean directorally, screenplay wise, acting wise....but on a production scale it's incredible. THEY BUILT HALF A FUCKING BOAT!

But other than that it's a pile of dung.

Anchorman is one of my favourite films. Is it one of the greatest? It's one of the greatest comedies easily. Does that give it a place in the greatest films ever? Possibly....but where do you draw the line?

Films that will be in my list,

1, Fight Club
2, Leon
3, Pulp Fiction
4, Ringu

I would like to add Blade Runner but then you have to pick which version and it starts getting a bit silly really. Or is that a valid point? Could Aliens appear twice on the list once as the Theatrical version and another time as the Directors Cut. Well, no because the Directors cut is the only version worth watching but still. Is that allowed?

One thing is for sure that all of three of the Star Wars films will be in the top ten as will all three L.O.T.R. films. Which to be fair I don't agree with but there you go.

Mostly because only the first L.O.T.R. deserves to be in there as it is the only one that stuck with the story, they moved further away the further they went on. But on an epic scale yes it should be in there. As to get the backgrounds they started planting flowers and stuff 2 years in advance.

I am mostly interested in seeing where Dark Night appears. It's a top notch film and Heath Ledger is horse shit crazy in it. Is it the best/greatest film? Not really.

Does best mean greatest?

I hate doing these lists so am desperately asking for help folks. Do I do the list as my favourite films?

Or my greatest films (of which Titanic will NOT be one)?

Also feel free to post your top ten in the comments but don't forget to put your votes on the Empire site.
