| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I don't think asking filmamkers to name their top 100 films is bullshit. I might not like all the movies on the list (titanic), but are you going to argue with Spielberg or Tarantino over which movies are the most exciting? I've seen the majority of the films and I can't disagree too much. And I would certainly put Jaws and Psycho as the top 2. I hate this job! I hate this goddamn job and I don't need it!!!  capnfudge@opieanthony.com I adopted NOBODY. Honest, that's the name. Now accepting 1 more application for the crew. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I agree about Jaws, that movie rocked. This show was good, My fiance and I watched it and she didnt see the top like 7 movies, so I think a trip to blockbuster is in order.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I just bought Pyscho on DVD and showed Mrs. Fudge, who never saw it. Scared her s-less, and she had no idea about how it would end, so she was completely surprised. I think these shows are little more than a way to sell DVDs, but some films deserve to be mentioned again and again. I hate this job!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Maybe if we stopped seeing the shit they are producing now and watch more of the really good films, albeit on a 22" monochrome TV, maybe Hollywood would stop producing shitting movies. Alien had got to be one of the most suspenseful movies every. We are so used to be bombarder with scene after scene, constant action, so that when a movie does nothing for 5 minutes, it's too creepy.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | So how exactly do they define a "Thrilling" movie? Pretty ambiguos catagory. ______________________________ We're having creative differences. I'm creative, you're different. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. You sound reasonable...Time to up my medication. You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance. -Just adding to the NEW new kinder and gentler board | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | You're right, Dent. I mean, "Star Wars" was a GREAT movie, but I don't know how "thrilling" it was.  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | How messed up is it if you looked at the 100 Most Thrilling American Films List, it's actually a better list for 100 Best American Films than the 100 Best American Films List- full thoughts coming soon. Didn't watch the Program, was watching the Kubrick Documentary on Cinemax- Kubrick still is Film God The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Thrilling movies is very ambiguous. Do they mean supenseful, scary or action packed? It seemed like they meant all three. How else could you have Raiders of the Lost Ark and Casablanca and Aliens? I hate this job! I hate this goddamn job and I don't need it!!! capnfudge@opieanthony.com I adopted NOBODY.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | What a bullshit list. I mean, how can you have the Matrix #66 and Titanic so much higher at #25?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | The list is ok, but I also want to know what the thrilling definition is. It is a good list movies, most of which I would love to own in my collection, but as for thrilling, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense... AIM: SkiT4you | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | It's not a great list but better than the top 100 movies or top 100 comedies. I didn't think Gladiator was thrilling. Dr. Strangelove is totally thrilling. It's one of the few movies that has all three subplots fitting the category. No Res. Dogs, Titanic NOT thrilling, No Good, the Bad and the Ugly- the final shoot out might be the most thrilling piece of cinema ever made, I did like a lot of Hitchcock and a lot of Kubrick, Oz was not thrilling, Planet of the Apes was thrilling and Gonzo, the four thrilling movies you looked for- great choices. And don't worry Grk, I'm 18 and have seen like 90 of them, The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | I guess The Good, The Bad and The Ugly isn't listed, even though it is a thrilling film is because it is Italian, filmed in Spain. Dr Strangelove - should definately be there, every time I hear "We'll meet again" I picture nuclear explosions now. Tripod killed my pic, I can't be bothered to replace it.
