[beso negro]

this will be better than the one Dave did. 100 top movies of all time is a bad title though because then i feel obligated to include movies i haven't seen to add credibility. We aren't all film historians here.

but whatever not sure if i have 20 movies i like that much but i'll give it a shot.

[aria]

dont do this

123, there are plenty of films that I know to be good (supposedly...), but I have not seen. So, are we voting for our personal top 20 movies, or top 20 movies across a wide range of criteria?

Well your personal top 20 that you both seriously enjoy and feel have real cinematic worth.

Like I could also have included Troll 2 & Braindead in my favourites, but I don't neccesarily view them as being that well made.

Well rounded and complete are essential terms.

[Against Miik!]

but it's so good. :(

[talk show host]

Forgot about Sunrise. I love that film so much.

[Akira]

Some really, uh, interesting choices ITT.

[Der Übermensch]

Forgot about Sunrise. I love that film so much.

Quality, although if you are going Murnau, Nosferatu is by far better imo.

Crap, I think I forgot to put that on my list too :(

[guitarded_chuck]

*These three are almost arbitrary, as most of what Stanley Kubrick did deserves to be on this list, but I had to pick only a few... Also of note would be The Killing, Paths of Glory, 2001 and a Clockwork Orange.

Agreed. I didn`t want to fill my list up completely with Kubrick, but most of his films deserve top 25 considerations.

[Der Übermensch]

I couldn't choose my top three Kubrick films if my life depended on it...

[guitarded_chuck]

I see you included Barry Lyndon ahead of ACO or 2001 in you`re list, interesting choice.

[talk show host]

Quality, although if you are going Murnau, Nosferatu is by far better imo.

Crap, I think I forgot to put that on my list too :(

I haven't seen it yet :(

not in order. just listed them as they came to me.

[Der Übermensch]

I see you included Barry Lyndon ahead of ACO or 2001 in you`re list, interesting choice.

It's his most accomplished film artistically speaking. I have a deep love of the early Romantic period. Music most especially, but Art just as much, and the film feels like he has simply brought those paintings to life. The framing of the scenes, the periods of motionlessness, the lighting... Its just plain magical.
I said I can't choose the top three Kubrick Films, but I can easily choose which is #1 and that is certainly it.

[Akira]

300? You're kidding, right?

I could deal with some of the other crappy choices, but damn.

[Seafroggys]

Eh, I would say Pearl Harbor is a much worse pick than 300.

[beso negro]

i never claimed to be a movie critic :confused:

[Seafroggys]

Well, neither am I, and often times my tastes don't agree with what critics say. Many "critically aclaimed" films I find boring as hell sometimes (a recent example is The Savages, while it wasn't a boring movie, I just failed to see the appeal). The Godfather is apparently a must have on every list, even though I do honestly believe its a good film. As you can see on my list, I listed quite a few films that you would not normally find on a critic's list (Star Trek and Star Wars movies especially).

[Iscariot]

this thread smells like a copy of "the 100 movies you have to see before you die" article from this month's issue of maxim

[Meatplow]

Nervous Light, drop Juno. It's a hideous film.

Meatplow, you're sick for actually putting 14 on there

OMG! I allllmost put that on my list.... :chug:

I still stand by Salo being a necessary evil. It certainly upshook some foundations for me and I would consider it well above the common exploitation film that glorifies sex & violence. It breaks desensitization, I swear, and for this, #14.

This thread smells like a copy of a list a "typical movie goer" would make. With a few exceptions.

Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il
Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain, Le

[Incognito]

Out of your 'elimination' list I'd go with with the good the bad and the ugly tbh.

I enjoyed Spirited away, but it's probably my least fav. Miyazaki film.

[bradc1988]

It was my first and I <3 it. All the other Miyazaki films are in my 9s.

Dr. Strangelove! That's a big one I forgot.

[Violent_Bill]

I'm glad to see that someone likes the two towers. No one I've ever met in real life thought it was the best one, in fact generally it's put forth as the worst. But seeing it at the movies was quite possibly the greatest cinematic experience of my life, the battle at helms deep is positively amazing, gives me serious shivers everytime I watch it. The tension and atmosphere was far better built than the battle that apparently really meant something in the third film.

[Pop music sucks]

Not only that, but considering mid-point films must set-up for the final third part, Two Towers did an exceptional job at that.

[badtaste]

Lord of the Rings... zzz...

[Pop music sucks]

Gawd I can't wait to finish reading The Fellowship of the Ring. That's why I don't usually read that trilogy as often as the others I've read.

Because half of it is singing and walking in some old forest and o shi it's a gnome guy named Tom Bombadil and he's got a fatass horse and a hot daughter, so let's sing about eating and drinking while we're eating about singing. Or drinking to the thought of singing or eating. Or eating to the singing that's about eating or drinking.

:angry:

[bradc1988]

When I read LoTR I don't think I actually ever finished the first book and started the second book after watching the movie. Bombadil got a little annoying for my tastes.

[Joe]

300? You're kidding, right?

I could deal with some of the other crappy choices, but damn.

Cut him slack. He was one of the few people who picked City of God :chug:

I really need to see Leon don't I?

[Incognito]

Wow, I forgot about my left foot, that is a great film as well. DDD is a superb actor.

[Ventriloquist]

Yea, you should. Oldboy should be on the list somewhere hmm?

[EightMilesHigh]

I really need to see Leon don't I?

Yes, yes, yes you should. Natalie Portman's performance is possibly my favorite film debut, tied with Edward Norton for Primal Fear.

[Iscariot]

I never warmed up to it, I enjoyed the book a lot more though I do like Kubricks take.

kubrick's take was garbage it was embarrassing to have that mess of a movie associated with the book

if jack nicholson was anymore of an overactor his head would literally explode

[Mr. Pickle]

spice girls: the movie

Spice World




fail.

[EightMilesHigh]

I have to agree with Jared here, I really didn't like The Shining. One of the worst of Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick.

[Joe]

I have to agree with Jared here, I really didn't like The Shining. One of the worst of Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick.

It's hard to say one of Nicholson's worst, considering The Bucket List, Something's Gotta Give, and Anger Management.

And here's my Kubrick analogy. Take your favorite pizza from home. Favorite. It's the best there is. Now go to New York City. Now while at New York, the average is so much incredibly higher, yet you still have that favorite pizza place that nowhere in New York can beat. A slice of New York City pizza isn't ever bad, but it may not be the best of the City's or even your favorite.

Kubrick's average is so high, that even one of his worst movies is still quite amazing.

[Mr. Pickle]

The analogy seemed unnecessary.

[Meatplow]

It's not so much that i enjoyed the output (i never warmed up to it, after all) but i've always liked the surrealism in Kubricks films and it was interesting at the very least to see King's story adapted in that manner.

[Joe]

The analogy seemed unnecessary.

It's how I feel about Kubrick. He's amazing - doesn't have anything bad, but isn't my favorite. There seems to be a debate about him and I threw in my two cents. :smash:

[guitarded_chuck]

It wasn't that bad. Not top 25 good, but not garbage. Books made to movies are usually not as good, not just this.

[Spiritofmosa]

heh yeah, theres something about it that i like. Especially the archeticture and design of the buildings inside out.

[Meatplow]

Ghostbusters is fun :)

If I took my favourite pizza home, I wouldn't then go to NY. It would be really cold by the time I got there wtf

usuk fu

:chug: not a fan of cold pizza?

[VomitStainedCretin]

I love The Shining personally. I still need to get hold of Barry Lyndon.

[willfellmarsy]

OldBoy and Ichi the Killer...i didn't think anyone else ever saw those movies (minus the population of their country of course...) OldBoy's one of my top 10 as well

[Txus]

I'm a big fan of Japanese and Korean cinema.

Oldboy is very popular as far as I'm concerned, but yeah...haven't seen much talk of Ichi the Killer around here. I think Takashi Miike is one of the best Japanese directors, he has made so many good movies.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

memento ****ing rocked

i think im gonna watch that today

[DaveSavesTheDay]

this will be better than the one Dave did.

123

Aww jeez, thanks, guys. Let me know how this one works out ;)

It's hard to say one of Nicholson's worst, considering The Bucket List, Something's Gotta Give, and Anger Management.


I quite enjoyed that movie actually.

[Bfhurricane]

Eh Ive seen all The Godfathers, Starwars, Pulp Fiction, Departed, etc...

1. City of God

puts the rest to shame.

[Joe]

I couldn't stand any of Nicholson's recent except his role in The Departed was fantastic.

And yes, City of God puts a LOT of movies to shame! I loved that movie.

[Violent_Bill]

where we at with this bill?

Okay, the problem I'm at right now is that there weren't quite enough votes to get a clean 100. Would you guys like to vote on cutting 45 movies or so with the same amount of votes down to 30 or just make it the top 70?

By the way you nominated some awesome movies Meatplow.

Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze

Top 50 sounds like a nice number I think.

[Pop music sucks]

Yes. Top 50 sounds great.

[Joe]

Top 50 works.

[Detective Dan]

You have not been paying attention.

um does it look like I care?

[Violent_Bill]

Okay, nominated films can now be found in my original post.

[Danger Bird]

Okay so Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Shaun of the Dead are both better than Chinatown.

Bravo, MX.

[bradc1988]

Why isn't There Will Be Blood in the top 50?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

because it came out like last year

not everyone finds space in their top 25 for something they probably saw for the first time 6 months ago.

[Violent_Bill]

The really weird thing for me is that Return of the Jedi made it but a New Hope didn't.

[Detective Dan]

Hot Fuzz people?


really?

[bradc1988]

because it came out like last year

not everyone finds space in their top 25 for something they probably saw for the first time 6 months ago.

He said he didn't have enough films for a top 100, yet at least 2 people voted for it, so um ?

[Alf™]

Maybe 2 votes wasn't enough to get it in the top 50?

[Violent_Bill]

He said he didn't have enough films for a top 100, yet at least 2 people voted for it, so um ?

No it was just that there were alot of films with the same amount of votes so it was hard to get it to a decent number. The films in the list at the moment all have a minimum of 4 nominations each.

[bradc1988]

:'(

[badtaste]

Aww jeez, thanks, guys. Let me know how this one works out ;)

Nicca, I was 123ing the "100 top movies of all time is a bad title though because then i feel obligated to include movies i haven't seen to add credibility." that you so kindly chopped out.

[Pop music sucks]

See, I really like this idea, because it's each individual's choice of their top 25, based on each persons enjoyability of the film, rather than citing instrumental movies that have changed cinema.

[badtaste]

Well yes, we were wanting the title to be 'Personal favourites' or something, rather than top films.
