Visitors favorite movies

     Before you read my Top 50 you must know the following:
       1) The movies are rated by how well the story captivated me and not for their artistic value. That basically means that the movie had an interesting screenplay or it was very entertaining or had some very well-designed characters.
      2) Many "art films" which have won several awards are not even in my favorite 1000 movies list but there are also some that I really liked and there are even more commercial movies that I hated such as X-Men which had nothing but action and no story (see the ending) and it is not the only one(MIB, Mission Impossible 2,Deep Impact etc.).
      3) Also some movie-failures from the movie-critics point of view were very entertaining.(Armageddon,Pearl Harbor etc.)
      4) Many of your favorites are probably not on my list because I hadn't had the chance to see them if they were released very recently or before 1989.
Your opinions about the charts (my preferences) can be send at [email protected]
