Only three stand out for me, which are...

1)The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - 10/10
2)The Green Mile (1999) - 8-8.5/10
3)Forrest Gump (1994) - 7/10

although The Godfather (trilogy) would have been on there not all that long ago as those were a 10/10 for me for years, then 1st/2nd movie dropped to a 7/10 with the 3rd movie being a 7.5-8/10 but upon a recent re-watch in Oct 2019 all three dropped back to a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up).

but it's pretty safe to say, if your Top 50 is a rough indication of your overall taste in movies, then we are noticeably different.

I have only seen about 15 of those movies but given I am of the opinion I have largely exhausted seeing movies from the past of any real worth for me, I would be surprised if my opinion changed much, if at all, had I seen all of them in terms of being good enough to join those three movies I listed above. because for me anything I score a 7/10 or higher is good enough to be among My Favorite Movies of which only 154 movies (out of the 2,275+ total movies I have seen) managed to pull off and this is the standard I am using for selecting movies in your poll. although if I used 'mildly like' standard I would be able to select a bit more than I did, but not much.




The main thing is at least your honest instead of just listing the usual BS so no one disses you etc as I at least respect people who list what they personally like the most instead of trying to make a list to please others or something like that.

with that said... even if someone were to come up with a standard for 'horrible taste in movies' type of standard I would generally try my best to form that around wide public opinion in what movies are liked the most in general and try to pair with the more praised movies and the like. because I feel once someones taste in movies get too far off the radar, they are more disconnected with people in general and there opinion won't be worth as much. hence, one might be able to claim that they have 'horrible taste in movies'.

so even by that standard... I think you have enough more popular-ish movies on that list to avoid that 'horrible taste in movies' standard if we based it roughly on what I mentioned above. but with that said, some might seem a bit out of place.
