Not America, UK. Empire Magazine is a British publication.

I like LOTR, but the trilogy does not deserve to be so high on a top movie list.
And POTC being over One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a horrible travesty.

I never particularly believed jpdil's comments that Empire was as reliable as Entertainment Weekly.

Stupid kiddy magazine... It is all fan based, nothing to bother about...
Who cares about that? The world would be very boring place without such clowns, so enjoy your time laughing...

personally empire is my magazine of choice, i cant stand the stupidity of total film
certainly i was surprised about LOTR as number 1 film but no matter what film was up there, i would bother someone......

what do you expect? If you take any kind of poll whether it be music or movies, nine times out of ten the hit of the moment will make it into the top 5 and more than likely the number one position. It would be interesting to see if LOTR and POTC can sustain that kind of importance in viwer ratings when the hype has died down and we have new range of blockbuster films to entertain us.

Agreed. These top movies of all times lists should excluded any movie made in the last 5 years.
