This sounds pretty cool...It's picking films that aren't on the list that is difficult 
Think I'll go with Braveheart and Se7en

The T21 Film knockout challenge (thing)
OK, this may crash and burn but I thought it was worth a try.
Listed below are the top 32 movies of all time as voted on Channel 4.
I need 32 more movies to be nominated by T21 members (max two films per person).
That makes 64 movies, grouped into pairs so that in a head to head, everyone can vote for their favourite (with me so far?)
The 64 narrows down to 32, then 16, 8, 4, 2 and then a final head to head will produce the T21 movie champion...
Here are the first 32 movies:
Star Wars / The Empire Strikes Back
The Godfather / The Godfather Part II
The Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Some Like It Hot
Gladiator
It's A Wonderful Life
Blade Runner
Schindler's List
Goodfellas
Jaws
Psycho
Apocalypse Now
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The Matrix
Casablanca
The Usual Suspects
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Citizen Kane
Raging Bull
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Taxi Driver
The Life Of Brian
Singin' In The Rain
L.A. Confidential
The Wizard Of Oz
2001: A Space Odyssey
Kes
Vertigo
Lawrence Of Arabia
Fargo
Gone With The Wind
