After seeing BBM, it's a distant second!

My next favorite movie, whatever it is, occupies, like, No. 11 on my list. The top 10 are all reserved for BBM!

I was so happy to find this out I had to come share it. I don't know if anyone else mentioned it or posted about it, but here you go!
i CANT FIND ANYWHERE TO VOTE FOR ANYTHING.. It says it has a panel to make those decisions.
I keep thinking like you Katherine, I remember these are the same people that choose american idol and knocked Chris Daugherty off in fifth place last year... And picked Ronald Reagan as the greatest american of all. Lame kids, and silly idiots...let the so called experts do it....

Any list of the top hundred movies of all time that doesn't have BBM somewhere on it is just so much bull crap. I couldn't find a way to vote but will forever ignore this list in the future if BBM is not listed on it when posted.
I have ignored the Academy Awards ever since one of the the best movies ever was skipped for safe mediocrity by homophobes.

Heya Bud!
Thanks for posting the list! I watched up until the Lord of the Rings and then I turned the TV off (having noted their announcement about the newest and oldest). Of course I'm sad to see that Brokeback isn't on the list yet. But, I'm sure it will be some day. Maybe it's still just too new to be on the list yet. But, I have no doubt that it will be very well placed on the list as the impact of the film continues to be felt and as they continue to revise the list.
