1. Clerks two (2006) Kevin Smith

The characters are genuine and the humor is Kevin Smith at his best.

2. Shoot ‘em up (2007) Michael Davis

I've always liked action that's also smart.

3. Young Frankenstein (1974) Mel Brooks

Narrowly beat out Blazing Saddles but this is the one I think of more.

4. The Punisher (2004) Jonathan Hensliegh

My favorite character told in a good and faithful way.

5. The Avengers (2012) Joss Wheton

I'm not just putting this in because it's an awesome film but also that it shows you can make a grand and epic popcorn action/scifi flick.

6. Blade Runner (directors cut) (1982) Ridley Scott

I'm not a directors cut snob but without narration it's just a better film.

7. Rent (2005) Chris Columbus

It shows the musical is alive and well.

8. Terminator 2 (1991) James Cameron

If I have to explain this I'll punch you.

9. Lord of the Ring: The return of King (2003) Peter Jackson

It felt like cheating to put in the entire franchise but this one stands well on its own and is just great.

10. The Book of Eli (2010) Albert and Allen Hughes

The closest we're getting to a Fallout movie any time soon.

Many, many thanks to all of you who have taken part so far! A really varied mixture of over 150 films mentioned as of now, so we might get some interesting results out of this. I understand that restricting yourself to ten films can be a challenge (it is for me too) but it standardises things a little better. It's not perfect but... well, what is, I guess?

Just some notes so far:
- For those who posted more than ten choices, I've counted your first ten. I have not counted lists with less than ten films.
- When listing trilogies or other series, I tend to count only the first entry within. If you want to mark a sequel specifically, please do so!
- Last year I chased some folks up via PM if I wanted to clarify some choices. I'm probably not going to do that this year, so if you haven't listed directors and years, I'll likely just use my intuition to guess which film you mean. Usually it's pretty obvious anyway, but it can be a little sticky with more obscure films.

Good stuff so far :)

I spent literally two hours thinking and putting together a beautiful list with descriptions as to why I chose those films. Then I scrapped the whole thing and started over taking a more leisurely approach with movies I watch most often, but understand that critically they're not the best. I've come to the conclusion I cannot make up my mind and even though this is for fun (also arbitrary) I just can't form an opinion I'm proud of to share. Simply put there are too many choices and so many different angles to consider when deciding the quality of a film, especially when compared to every other ever produced.

not having shrek 2 as number one... you have displeased the onion lord...

Time to announce the top ten! Note that time has now passed for entries. Nothing's stopping you from posting about your favourite flicks (I encourage it!), but no more lists will be counted in this poll.

Nearly 200 different films were mentioned this time around, with a respectable turnout. Many thanks to all those who got involved! Here's a pie chart illustrating choices by decade. Compared to last year's, not much has really changed. The one significant difference has been an increase in the popularity of films made since 2000.

I will now run down the top ten, announcing another winner every day if I can :)

10.
Trainspotting
Danny Boyle, UK, 1996.
Last year: did not rank in top eleven.

Danny Boyle's adaptation of Irvine Welsh's frenzied tale of drug addiction in Edinburgh has been touted by a number of critics since its release as being one of the greatest British films of recent years, though said critics also tend to be conservative when it comes to considering international co-productions. This might show how versatile film canon in Britain can be, as like Welsh's novel, the film is less typically British and more specifically Scottish with a punkish, post-Thatcher mindset. Simultaneously horrifying, disgusting and darkly comical, Boyle uses the film to successfully tap into a number of cultural outlets, correlating sex and athleticism ("I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!"), the humdrum and a world of personal demons (contrasting sterile television presenter Dale Winton in the same scene in which Renton (Ewan McGregor) hallucinates his friend's dead baby crawling onto his ceiling) and lifestyles big and small set to the music of Iggy Pop in just a handful of the film's most memorable scenes. Like Welsh, Boyle looks to make his rogues lively; as the film progresses however, chances of redemption slowly begin to fade away. Some characters' stories are particularly tragic, and even the possible optimism in the future of Renton is soured by an over-encompassing ambiguity. Even if it is a "Scottish film" as opposed to a "British film", it both speaks and mocks attitudes common throughout the British Isles: some of us are weak, some of us are unpleasant, we take our small victories and jokes with us when we can.
