Yep.
This may shock you but I bet others have voted for films they haven't seen as well.

Yes, to defend films I have seen and liked

Austin Powers isn’t my choice to go out this round, but still better that than Hot Fuzz

I don’t get how you can judge a film you haven’t seen. Personally I haven’t voted for any i have not seen on this list

I kind of felt this way at first, but have also been researching any that I haven't seen to try and be more informed about whether to back a vote against them or not - a film that has got a generally poor reputation shouldn't be spared just because I haven't seen it.

My vote is for Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me as it's a truly shocking film. Even the first and best Austin Powers isn't good enough to be troubling a top 100 list.

I was 12 when The Goonies came out. So definitely part of the target audience. And even back then I thought watching it was a complete chore.

Truffle shuffle, gunshots, secret tunnels, booby traps, wishing wells, pirate ship, treasure, “Hey you guys!”, rich stuff, gadgets and Cyndi Lauper.

Anybody that doesn’t enjoy that has no soul.

That and Shrek and about twenty other films shouldn’t have been anywhere near a top 100 list.

To begin with, it looked like it was going to be quite a close battle, but it wasn't long until the influence of Dr Evil began to take hold...

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - 10
Hot Fuzz - 3
This Is England - 3
The Goonies - 1
Deadpool - 1

...and so, not even the presence of a childish yet hilarious silhouette gag could save it, as AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Out of interest have many of you seen Sherlock Jr? There's a few I haven't seen in the list but that one I'd guess the majority haven't seen because of its age?
