9ES109: The Internet’s Only Official Greatest Films List Pt. 1
Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful

We have a very special treat for you today. We’re starting a new feature for the site, a definitive list of the greatest films of all time as selected by us, and we’re taking a whole episode of the podcast to start the list off with a bang. The format is fairly simple. Start with one film. In the case of our list, we start with Mortdecai. That’s now the list. Then we consider another film, say, John Wick. Is John Wick a better film than Mordecai? It is. It is therefore placed above Mortdecai on the list. Every time we bring up a film in the podcast, or whenever we feel like it, we will continue to organically grow the list until it is complete or the universe ends in heat death. Or possibly we get bored and abandon the project. Who can predict the future in the vicissitudes of possibility?
Not I.
Regardless, we need to offer kind thanks to Cris Sims and Matt Wilson of War Rocket Ajax who began a similar (and original) list with regards to comics, and from whom we stole this idea. Thanks boys!
Finally, the list will be added to the bar at the top so you can easily reference which are, and are not, the greatest films of all time. Joy!

Love the pic of Jon. But all of you are fired for not even mentioning ‘Radiers of the Lost Ark’ ! Commies.
These are just the films we mentioned more than once on the podcast already. Forever moving forward if a film comes up on the podcast it gets put on the list.
Then For god sake Billy-Corgan-locked-in-a-box ( this is a reference to what Jimmy thinks Jon sometimes sounds like on the pod cast ) you need to talk about Raiders. Perhaps now you’ve done the best, you could also do the worst? Shakes the clown, Twilight, 200 days of Sodom perhaps to name a few?
Are you saying that Raiders of the Lost Ark belongs in the same group as 120 Days of Sodom? Did we learn nothing from the hours I poured into THIS: http://9to5.cc/witd-the-worst-thing-ever/ (NSFW)
