I love that Donnie Darko is there, it's in my top ten of all time, as is 2001. I find it alarming that Lost in Translation is in 12th position, actually it should not even be in this list for god's sake. Talk about over-rated..
Where is Dr. Strangelove? Where is Platoon? Where is La Dolce Vita?
Discuss.

I suspect they were drinking as they wrote this list. Things started off well. They became a little light-headed and decided on "Boyz n the Hood". When they decided to go with "Erin Brockovich", they were SMASHED! Then they started to sober, things improved and they ended the list with "Badlands".
i agree completely about donnie darko and lost in translation!!
also...
i thought Beaches was a pretty fine movie....
