href="https://www.facebook.com/way.moroney">Wayne Moroney Completely agree with Cape Fear, it’s better than at least seven movies on that list. I’d also replace a couple with The Fly, and Heat.

href="https://www.facebook.com/stephen.cowan.792">Stephen Cowan Can’t believe you forgot about Cape Fear!

href="https://www.facebook.com/Kezzer505">Kevin Berney How the hell did the remake of ‘The Italian Job’ get on that list instead of ‘Cape Fear’?

href="https://www.facebook.com/billyruffian">Kenneth Marsden The original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is far superior to the remake.

href="https://www.facebook.com/justin.oconnor.5220">Justin O’Connor Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! Awesome!

href="https://www.facebook.com/rob.dunne1">Rob Dunne The only one on the list that I would agree with is The Departed and possibly True Grit. The one I would definitely have expected to see was Scarface, surprised it’s not on the list.

href="https://www.facebook.com/colmflynn">Colm Flynn Any Top 10 that contains the new “Italian Job” is not worth the ink it is printed with.

href="https://www.facebook.com/alanpbourke">Alan Bourke Yeah nice job putting The Italian Job and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in, which only a clinically insane person would put even in the same ballpark as the originals.
