I know that this thing is all opinionated, but if you really think that Shawshank Redemption isn't good enough to be on this list, then you're out of your ****ing mind.
    Yawn, Awards are a load of bullshit and most are fixed by some wank who probably gives the award to whoever they want (eg. whoever pays the most ). I agree shawshank is a good movie, but its the most over rated movie ever. And lol at judging a film by imdb rating tbh, go to rotten tomatoes atleast if your gonna go down that road. I laugh at shawshank because everybody ****in nominates it, its like go out and see more movies you please!

    I'm not saying it shouldn't be on the list of nominee's, im saying its pointless putting mixed genre movies head to head =/

    Heck i see it being pointless with any awards, i think awards are the scourge of the music/movie industry and should be done away with


    EDIT:

    Obviously a joke, my friend gave that as an answer to "Whats your fav movie of all time?" questions. We all gave decent movies and then he came out with that, laughter ensued and i say it as a joke to these types of questions alot now =PP

    James K is on the right track with Citizen kane, its among the greats like Bladerunner, 1984 etc these never get nominated as most havent even bothered to watch them or are too stupid to even interpret the message given.

    Thats why i dislike awards like this, as its only gonna have hollywood blockbusters Jaws is on the list too ffs =P
