Defenders of Defensive Fighters, The Lovers Of The Sweet Science... Are They Posers And Snobs?

I love Cuckoo's Nest, but Jaws is my all time favorite movie.... ever, so it kind of sticks in my craw. Titanic they made the right call on, As Good As It Gets was okay but nothing special, definitely not more of an accomplishment than Titanic, nor was LA Confidential, Good Will Hunting, both films are highly overrated IMO.

 

If I was mentally unhinged I'd have permabanned you the day I became a mod, so there goes your theory you Russophobe bigot.

 

I'll highlight my pick for best pic in red, or add one or two myself, some cases I agree some I don't.
