Personal Comments

Oh this is one film I am proud of you guys for it making it this high up. A legendary classic, the is the third film in the top 100, and the only one in the top 50, from the 50s. I have yet to meet someone, either in real life or online, who has ever thought this wasn't great. A fantastic film where every character was scripted very well. The film isn't your usual courtroom drama or a whodunit. Rather, it is about the 12 people in the title. 12 people who don't even know each others names. 12 strangers who've come together to decide the death of another stranger. It is about the getting over your prejudices, in fact about having the will to get over your prejudices, about having the courage to admit yourself wrong and about the even greater courage one needs to speak his mind. This is one film that stays in your mind long long after you've finished watching it. Anyone who's yet to see this ultimate classic I'd really advice them to do themselves a favour and get it asap.

This was put at number 2 by akshit, number 8 by Revant, number 9 by Sagar and number 7 by Kartikeya. 
This is also the last film on the list to be on 8 lists. All films from now on were on 9 or more lists.

Critic Reviews

Though this is an older film, its examination of the jury system is as valid as ever, and it may be even more important today when media sensationalism has such a strong effect on public perceptions.Full review

Personal Comments

And the second film with Robin Williams as a teacher shows up a rank after the previous one. A truly inspiring film. It's a film you can never forget. If you are a student you're bound to love this one. Every single character is inspiring and relatable in some way or the other. The film has some really wonderful moments that you'll probably never forget, like the very end of the film. Williams turn as a progressive professor who's willing to do things differently to get the best out of his students is one of the iconic moments of western cinema. Even the soundtrack, especially the piece 'Keating's Triumph', is quite superb. It does have some minor flaws and some people don't really like the twist near the ending but all in all this is one of those films that'll forever stay close to your heart.

This was put by Sagar at the top of his list, at number 5 by Pavan, number 8 by Murtaza, number 10 by Revant and at number 3 by Kartikeya.

Personal Comments

And the ULTIMATE MURDER MYSTERY THRILLER, in my opinion, just misses out the top 5! This film is unforgettable. It's scary, it's clever, and it's touching. Every character in the film is absolutely superb. Personally I consider this film's villain to be the best villain I've ever scene in any film ever, despite him having little actual screen time. That villain exposition scene near the end... it just blows me away, in but a few moments we get to see into the villains mind and understand, and maybe even somewhat sympathize with, his reasons. To be able to do such a thing with such a psychotic villain in such a short span of time... just incredible. Other murder mystery thrillers should learn from this film and it's absolutely superb screenplay, given by Andrew Kevn Walker. The film also has one of the best endings of any film ever too. That ending.... I'll really not say anything about it, one really needs to see it unspoiled, except that it will just blow your mind and stay with you long long after the film's done. The film's got its fare share of gore and schock moments but never indulges too much into it just for the sake of it. The cinematography deserves particular praise too for creating the dark atmosphere that engulfs the film throughout. You can just taste the misery pouring out from the city. And the direction by Fincher, absolutely incredible, managed to put it all together so well. The film could have lost its hold over itself at many different points had it not been for Fincher's skillful direction.

This is Fincher's 5th film on the list btw, he's now only behind Nolan who's had 7.

This was put at number 4 by me, number 2 by akshit, number 7 by Ayush, number 8 by Pranav and at number 8 by Kartikeya.

Personal Comments

Matrix!! Oh if ever there was a better film. The best sci fi film ever is also the top sci fi in our list. This is an absolutely great film. Everybody who sees this loves this. This film is ultra memorable. Probably the coolest film ever.The costumes, the dialogues, the action... as cool as it gets. This film was basically a teenage boy's dream come true. The dialogue's got some real piece of gems, it's one of the most quotable films ever. Many of its scenes have went on to become iconic and have become eternally ingrained in pop culture, for example the blue pill/red pill scene. Its action sequences were revolutionary, and went on to influence thousands and thousands of films that followed. And yet, despite all this, the best part of the film was its story, with its smart and interesting concept, one that can actually change your view of the world, even if only for a short time. This film deserves any top 10 ever and I'm really happy it made it to our top 5.

This is also the last film to be on 9 lists. All the films left now are on 10 or more lists! This is also the last film to not be ranked first by anyone. That means every film in the top 4 was ranked first by at least one person!! Looks like everyone's gonna be pleased one way or the other! Talk about a solid top 4.

This was put at number 3 by me, number 3 by Sagar, number 9 by Pranav, number 6 by Andrew and at number 9 by Kartikeya.

Personal Comments

And one of the best films of the 21st Century ranks number 4 on our list! This film surprised everyone by being as good as it is. It broke so many box office records. It's still hailed as among the best films of the century by both critics and audience alike, as can be seen through its position on here. Personally I didn't feel that impressed by the film halfway through. But its second half was truly mesmerizing. And the climactic battle! One of the best I have ever seen. The visual effects were wonderful, the cinematography a thing of beauty. The cast worked together well and Pratt gave quite a good performance. The script was tight and didn't let the film get boring for even a single second. The direction was superb and put it all together perfectly. All in all a very deserving film. Maybe not worthy of this high a position but clearly popular enough to be able to still make it. Of course release of the second part recently might have also helped it by reminding people of the quality of the first part.

TROOOOOLLLED! 


Like fuck did Jurassic World make it at number 4 on our list  lol! I'd have dumped the list before it began had such been the case. Don't worry guys, I made sure to only accept lists from people who can spell their name right. A fucking mediocre run-of-the-mill blockbuster like JW isn't making it anywhere near this high on our list. Hell, it wasn't put by a single one of the voters on his list. Nothing I said about it above is true. Disregard my personal comments completely, one of the greatest 21st century films, my foot. 


It was some good fun to see all of you be so convincingly fooled and to read through all the meltdowns on the group, though. Sorry, but as I have said before, I love feeding on frenzy  Twisted Evil


Anyways..... the real number 4 is up in the next post!!!

Personal Comments

And what is widely considered the best film from the biggest and most popular genre of the century actually makes it to the 4th position of our list. This film took the entire world by storm when it was released. There were just so many things going for it. Nolan at the top of his game, a solid script, a great cast (minus gyllenhall's sister), one of the most beloved characters from across comics and, probably the one thing that elevated this film beyond just regular greatness, Heath Ledger as Joker - a performance that is without a doubt the most memorable and most iconic one this side of the 2000s. Yes, his death generated the extra hype that ended up making this the phenomenon it was but to attribute all of the film's success to that death would be doing it great injustice. It is clear from the lasting love for the film - A decade has passed since it's release and the film still manages to make it this high up on a list like this. This film gave superhero films the boost they needed to become the behemoth they have. Quite a lucky coincidence indeed that MCU began the same year this was released. 

This is the first film to be in the top 10 of 6 lists! It was put at the top of his list by Andrew, at number 7 by pavan and saiyyam, number 8 by Jebin, number 3 by pranav and number 4 by Revant.

Ledger’s performance is monumental, but The Dark Knight lives up to it. Nolan cements his position as Hollywood’s premier purveyor of blockbuster smarts – and the Batbike is kinda cool, too. Full review
