I will follow this, and I might do it as well (after you've finished although).

#1: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - 9/10 (my 75th favorite movie)
#2: Lawrence of Arabia - not seen (probably not my cup of tea)
#3: Cinema Paradiso (not seen, will someday)
#4: Raiders of the Lost Ark - 6/10 (i'd think i'd appreciate it slightly more now)
#5: 12 Angry Men - 8/10 (my 206th favorite movie)
#6: Pulp Fiction - 9/10 (my 31st favorite movie)
#7: A Clockwork Orange - 9/10 (my 28th favorite movie)
#8: The Big Lebowski - 8/10 (my 164th favorite movie)
#9: A Hard Day's Night - not seen (probably not my cup of tea)
#10: Doctor Zhivago - not seen, will someday
#11: Before Sunrise - 8/10 (my 212th favorite movie)
#12: 2001: A Space Odyssey - 8/10 (my 103rd favorite movie)
#13: High and Low - not seen, but will likely watch it this year
#14: The Grand Budapest Hotel - 7/10 (not in my top 250 anymore, but since I replaced it today, technically my 251th favorite movie)
#15: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - not seen, don't want to either
#16: Badlands - 9/10 (my 25th favorite movie)

Ranked:
1. Badlands
2. A Clockwork Orange
3. Pulp Fiction
4. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey
6. The Big Lebowski
7. 12 Angry Men
8. Before Sunrise
9. The Grand Budapest Hotel
10. Raiders of the Lost Ark

I haven't seen te others.

Seems like that's a great result. I still suspect we have a very different taste, because mostly they're the usual suspects (though the right 'usual suspects', i give you that, since there's a lot of trash or overrated movie in top lists). Kuddo's for Badlands, which is less of a usual suspect. With Kubrick, you can never go wrong.

Although his magnum opus is not 2001 or A Clockwork Orange, not The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket either, it's Eyes Wide Shut which is one of the best movies i've ever seen (though all are great, exc. for FMJ which I liked less).

How freaking far down have you calculated your favorite films...

Also, Eyes Wide Shut will indeed make an appearance on this list.
250 favs

I participate in a lot of list-making projects. For one, i have to file in at minimum a top 250. This is why I have a top 250. In addition to that, i love ranking stuff, but it's hard to be precise or accurate about it. It however doesn't matter that much for a list if a movie is your 160th or your 220th fav. I have ranked all animation movies i've seen as well.

I'll present my top 250 later this year or early next year also here on this forum.


Also, Eyes Wide Shut will indeed make an appearance on this list.
That will probably be the movie i'll have liked the most the most in your list. It's my 4th fav. I doubt my top 3 will make an appearance, since they're either not exactly plot-driven or too obscure.

I recently saw Memories of Murder for the first time. I need to watch Come and See yet, but I'd like to do it quite soon.

Come and See is a A+ film. The greatest war movie of them all.

I've seen it in the meantime. It's good but not entirely my cup of tea, but that's the case for most war films.
