Oranje Café's Top 50 Films aller tijden Aftellen Schroefdraad (The Countdown)

[Duffy]

Welcome all to the countdown of the Caf's Top 50 Films of all time. After hours of strenuous counting and sorting of votes I'm happy to say we have a clear and deserved winner and maybe the best Top 50 list so far.

As always, when you come across a film that you have voted for, please feel free to give the reasons behind your choice, your favorite quotes or favorite scenes.

Please also vote in the poll above for which countdown you would be interested in voting for next.

So, without any further ado, let the countdown begin!

Just a quick note - the fact that some of these films have missed out on the Top 50 is absolutely criminal.

 

[R.N7]

All hail Paul Verhoeven.

Even Star Wars is better than 300.

 

[Big-Red]

Even Star Wars is better than 300.

If 300 had lightsabers it would leapfrog it though

 

[Eboue]

Star Wars' best quality is not having Gerard Butler.

You don't like Polanski, you eejit?

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Did you do top 50 albums yet? That would be the best one to vote on next.

 

[Eboue]

You don't like Polanski, you eejit?

He's a child rapist.

EDIT: @R.N7 Well in!

Blood Diamond? Are you kidding me? It's a decent film but anyone putting it in top 20 has only seen 20 films.

I can't believe it is above A New Hope and even if you are not into Star Wars you can still appreciate that film.

I agree with you for once eboobies, some of the films that are missing out are outrageous.

[Mrs Smoker]

Blood Diamond is a bizarre entry, and too bad about only 50th place for Star Wars.
