How many of those who voted are 25-40 year old males who have never had sex?

ute4ever · 07-20-2008, 03:54 AM

Does sex with a cowboy in a tent count?

TripletDaddy · 07-20-2008, 04:54 AM

LOL. The Dark Knight better than the Godfather 1 and 2, schindler's list, etc..

ok......

Hsaru · 07-20-2008, 04:57 AM

it'll move down to 15-20 in a couple weeks, its just how it works.

Brian · 07-20-2008, 08:03 PM

I watched that again a couple of years ago and the acting is terrible.

It is good to know that although most of those others have stood the test of time, won awards, influenced movie genres and filmmakers, etc....Batman was so excellent that it surpassed all of them the day after it was released. In just 24 hours, everyone knew it was the greatest of all time.

Good list!

Yeah it's like the annual ESPN poll the day after the Super Bowl, asking which was the greatest ever.
