slipjig3I know I'm asking for big fat honking trouble on this one, but:
The 2003 Movie Survey, LJ Edition
What I need from everyone is a list of your 10 favorite movies of all time, in order (i.e. #1 is "greatest", #2 is "2nd greatest", etc.) Results will be posted here in a few weeks. Only one list per customer, please.
How the scores will be tabulated: The winning movies will be determined by a count of total votes received. Ties will be broken according to total number of "points": A movie in the #1 spot on someone's list will get 10 points for that list, a movie in the #2 spot will get 9 points, etc.
A little background: I've done this survey countless times over the years. I used to do albums instead of movies, until I realize that music tastes are generally too fragmented to produce a good final tally; movies, on the other hand, are closer to being a "shared experience". I've administered the movie survey twice in the last few years among family and friends (the results of which I may post at a future date) whenever boredom struck hard. Unfortunately, said friends and family are now sick to death of it, although if any of them are reading this, they are more than welcome to chime in again. Thus, I've decided to lob it out into the LJ community and see what sticks. If I become buried alive in responses, tell Kristi I love her, and tell Abbey she can have my GameBoy. If I am utterly ignored, 't will be a most adequate deterrent to future such silliness.
Oh, and could you all either link to this and/or meme it out for me? Thanks!

Just a random top 10 list from a very random person
1. Requiem for a Dream
2. Six Degrees of Seperation
3. Memento
4. The Usual Suspects
5. Pi
6. American Beauty
7. Pulp Fiction
8. Groove
9. Traffic
10. I'm all that I want (Margaret Cho)
A few honorable mentions include the Lord of the Rings (only saw the first one so far but I'm sure I'll love the Trilogy), the Star Wars Hexlogy (I'm sure I'll like Part III), The Godfather Trilogy, The Jay and Silent Bob Quadlogy (sense a patern here?) The Lion King, Aladin, Little Mermaid, Mulan, Monster's Inc, Toy Story I and II (the current era of Disney / Pixar films minus of course bombs like Pocohontas, Hercules and that stupid Hunchback), The Iron Giant, The Princess Bride, The Joy Luck Club, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Almost Famous, Being John Malkovich, The Graduate, Sneakers, Good Will Hunting, Snatch and Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels (basically anything by Guy Richie before he hooked up with Madonna), anything that has David Mamet's fingerprints on it, and anything directed by Kubrick, and I'm sure a million other movies that I love to watch but either 1) forgot to mention or 2) haven't seen them yet.
