    Not here. Isn't happening. Supporter

    The Godfathers are 1A and 1B for me. I slightly prefer The Godfather over part II I guess.

    It was really a coin toss for me with Jaws, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. Went Jaws because I enjoyed watching it with my Dad and because it’s a good buddy of mine’s #1 all time so he’s happy I picked it

    Always do the right thing. Supporter

    I think for 8 of these I’d have a hard time choosing my number 1. Taxi Driver would probably be the sentimental pick, after I saw the Departed I went to FYE and picked up it, Goodfellas, and Raging Bull on DVD. I watched Taxi Driver first, at 15 years old thinking the Departed was the greatest movie ever made, then was like, oh, wow.

    then mean streets is just below the top 8 and I haven’t seen Harold and Maude

    If you went to FYE three movies must have cost you 400 dollars.

    roughly something like that. They might have been $40 each? For anniversary or special editions or something. I had a grocery store job that paid well for a 14 year old (thinking back I’m realizing I was 14, not 15).

    Sometime before that a different clerk at the same FYE didn’t let me get Pulp Fiction and Clerks because they were rated R.

    FYE was always the biggest ripoff around. I always bought CD's and DVD's at Best Buy. I only had about a dozen Blu-Rays before I gave up on physical copies.

    Let's end this before more people vote for Jaws.

    First time I went to America when I was about 18/19, I was shocked at how expensive DVDs were. I bought my cousin Fight Club on DVD for his birthday or Christmas or something and it cost me like $30 in 2009.

    I am loving how close the poll is especially since I figured either The Godfather or its sequel would run away with it.

    With 26 percent of the vote, Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece about the roots of violence in capitalism is the Chorus.fm Film of the 1970's.
