Jonathan over at Cinema Fusion just pointed us to a really cool collection of Top 10 movie lists by Directors, Critics and Stars over at Combustible Celluloid. I thought it would be fun to take their lists and come up with a combined Top 100 Movie List.
I’ve combined all the lists in excel and sorted by number of times each movie shows up. They are ordered 100 down to 1 and sorted alphabetically when there are movies that had the same amount of votes. I’ve also included the number of times that each movie shows up.
I actually find this list quite interesting. There are some similarities to the AFI top 100 but there are also some serious differences.
*One final note. I also didn’t spend the time modifying the votes. A few people voted for Godfather and some others voted for Godfather 2 and then there were 6 people who said Godfather 1 and 2 as a choice. The list isn’t perfect but its fun to look at none the less.

Wow. You really put some time into this didn’t you? Well done.
While there’re quite a few on here I haven’t seen, I’m actually shocked at the number of titles I have seen.
Awesome work, John. Hard work like this is why I come back to Movie Patron every day.
Very cool.
I guess this means I need to finally get around to renting The Rules of the Game too, huh?
I only wish that they had all ordered their top 10s. That way I could have actually created a better list.
very nice job!
