There have been countless “Top XX” lists of films, multiplying with the advent of the Internet. It seems appropriate now that a consortium of online film blogs and critics has released their list of the Top 100 Films. This list is a breath of fresh air in the modern-dominated Top lists that I’ve seen recently. The Lord of the Rings movies are rightly relegated to lower numbers, instead of the ridiculous Top 10 spots on IMDb. I don’t think I could put together a better list if I tried. Kudos to the contributors to this list. Their Top 10 below:

1. Godfather, The (Coppola, 1972)
2. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941)
3. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Kubrick, 1964)
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark (Spielberg, 1981)
5. Casablanca (Curtiz, 1942)
6. Blade Runner (R. Scott, 1982)
7. Jaws (Spielberg, 1975)
8. Godfather Part II, The (Coppola, 1974)
9. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Kershner, 1980)
10. Alien (R. Scott, 1979)
