Got Time and an Opinion?
Flickchart is a new site that helps you rank your movies through head-to-head comparisons. The site picks two films at random and asks you which you liked better. After a while (and it's easy to be on the site for a long time), your top 20 starts to shape up. It also brings up some interesting questions like: Ghostbusters or Back To the Future, Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, The Shadow or The Happening, etc.
The site is still beta-testing but you can join by using LifeHacker's link.
I'm not completely happy with my Top 20 but right now (after a ridiculous 4651 rankings battles between 1378 films, it reads:
1. Citizen Kane
2. The Godfather
3. The Wizard of Oz
4. The Usual Suspects
5. The Godfather Pt. 2
6. Saving Private Ryan
7. The Princess Bride
8. L.A. Confidential
9. Field of Dreams
10. Raiders of the Lost Ark
11. Memento
12. Se7en
13. A Few Good Men
14. Braveheart
15. Casablanca
16. E.T. The Extra...
17. It's a Wonderful Life
18. Trainspotting
19. On the Waterfront
20. Schindler's List
I go back and forth the most on "It's a Wonderful Life" and "E.T." I'm surprised that "City of God" isn't up there.
