Your top 100 favorte movies (2 Viewers)

[Da Guru]

Just watched Cool Hand Luke for the first time this past year. It would be on my list. 100 is way too many to name.

 

[Gadfly]

I realized I left Chasing Amy and Holiday off my list. Holiday is an old screwball comedy directed by George Cukor and starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn.

Jdogg, you should definitely see Breathless, especially as a big fan of film. It's really a self-referential film that pays homage to the Bogart noir films of the 40s and 50s while leading the innovations and quirky/edgy movies to come in the 60s. Other movies I'd recommend from my list that I'd be surprised if you've seen, since very few people I meet have ...

Destiny (1921): Brilliant Fritz Lang silent film. It just amazes me that this could be made in 1921. The Thief of Baghdad and The Seventh Seal were clearly influenced. Hitchcock called it his favorite film. Story is about a young couple in love. Death comes to take the man, and the woman begs for his life. Death, who is weary of his own destiny, makes her a deal, sending her to three alternate realities. If she can change destiny in any of them, he will return her lover. Essentially, it's a story on if love is stronger than destiny and death. The cinematography, special effects, imagery and scope of the film are amazing for the time. The storyline is also complex and thought-provoking, especially toward the end.

The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933): Yes, I took a class in Fritz Lang films at USC. This film is in German. Dr. Mabuse is the first super villain in film history, introduced in Lang's 1922 film Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler. Lang directed a third movie in the series in 1960, his last film before his death. The Testament of Dr. Mabuse is my favorite. Mabuse controls a crime syndicate from a trance inside a mental asylum.

Ninotchka (1939): Great screwball comedy starring Greta Garbo in a rare comedic role, directed by Ernst Lubitsch and written by Billy Wilder. As you can probably tell from my list, I love the screwball comedies from the 30s and 40s with their witty, fast-paced dialogue.

Two for the Road (1967): Directed by Stanley Donen, the director of Singing in the Rain, though this film couldn't be more different. The best performances of their careers given by Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. Innovative editing. Really interesting, meaningful look into the long haul of marriage and relationships. The best closing lines of any movie ever.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Nice list.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) 90

People hated this movie, but I thought it was good.

I think because of Adam Sandler being in it, it didn't find the right audience.

Agreed. It's the only Adam Sandler film I like.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I loved Airplane and Caddyshack as a kid, but those movies don't make me laugh anymore.

Comedies were the hardest because very few make me laugh more than once. Airplane was a sentimental favorite - saw it with my dad and we both quoted it for years. Caddyshack more for the behind the scenes stories on Bill Murray's involvement. Which reminds me I need to add The Razor's Edge. Crap, my top 100 is going to have about 150 films.

Airplane is definitely a sentimental favorite of mine.

I've been wanting to see Breathless for years, and it's in my Netflix queue. The other movies look interesting, and I'd definitely see them.

It would probably basically be the DVD's I listed that I own in the Recently Seen thread, minus 20 of those, plus 30-40 I dont own.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

It would probably basically be the DVD's I listed that I own in the Recently Seen thread, minus 20 of those, plus 30-40 I dont own.

So it sounds like you're starting point is about 80 - 90 dvd's that you own.

I know I'm in the minority, but Ben Hur is still a top 10 movie.

 

[Teumessian Fox]

Interesting experiment. I got to 70 and then struggled to 100. I've seen every movie on my list several times. When there are several versions of a particular movie (e.g. Mutiny on the Bounty), I'm always referring to the original. My list includes movies I really like, not necessarily cinematic masterpieces.

Top Ten:

1 - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

2 - The Godfather

3 - The Godfather II

4 - Mulholland Drive

5 - Pyscho

6 - Taxi Driver

7 - Kill Bill I

8 - Natural Born Killers

10 - A Clockwork Orange

The rest:

How can Shawshank escape the top 100 for so many of you ?

 

[krista4]

This is going to take some real time, to analyze others' lists and make my own.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

could probably sub in/out dozens if i think about it more...

dude - that was a great list. Had a few quibbles (too weighted toward recent films) but a LOT of great movies on there.

 

[krista4]

How can Shawshank escape the top 100 for so many of you ?

I like Shawshank a lot, but there's no way it's sniffing my top 100. Maybe if I had only seen 500 movies in my life, but otherwise

 

[Teumessian Fox]

How can Shawshank escape the top 100 for so many of you ?

Because I like every movie I listed better than it.

fantastic film.

 

[dude]

could probably sub in/out dozens if i think about it more...

dude - that was a great list. Had a few quibbles (too weighted toward recent films) but a LOT of great movies on there.

list is based on films i viewed multiple times again and again...its missing lots of great oldies im sure but i dont go out of my way to rewatch Treassure of Sierra Madre, 8 1/2, Ran, Rear Window, Vertigo, etcand if i look at it long enough, its not hard to sub in dozens imo

 

[Abrantes]

Without looking at it, I know this is going to be closer to my list than any other.

I don't know. A lot of it is just movies I've watched a whole lot of times, and others' mileage may vary on a lot of it. (Kurosawa, German Expressionism, awesome or simply cool-looking animation, etc).Almost tossed in So I Married An Axe-Murderer for your sake, though.

Buttpirates 4: The Wreckening

101 on my list.

 

[jdoggydogg]

A hundred? Oof. Here's the first ones that popped up, in no order.

Nice list.

Heed! Can't wait to pick through wikkid's and jdd's lists, too.

Very true man.

Re-AnimatorSuspiria

God bless B movies. Re-Animator is great. I take it you've seen From Beyond? Dario Argento's movies almost always feature bad acting and bad scripts. But I've always said that he has single scenes that are scarier than most directors could ever imagine making.

 

[jdoggydogg]

This is going to take some real time, to analyze others' lists and make my own.

Get to work, woman.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Ghost World

I read your list after I posted mine so I wouldn't be influenced, and I'm shocked that I'm not the only one who included Ghost World.

I love the movie. Very underrated.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Last Tango in Paris

I've only seen 10 minutes of this movie out of context, and it was embarrassingly bad. Am I missing something?

The Hours

It seems uncool to like this movie, but I like it.

 

[Abrantes]

A hundred? Oof. Here's the first ones that popped up, in no order.

Nice list.

Thanks, likewise. Love seeing Night of The Hunter on lists other than my own. It has a "cameo" on wikkid's list too, by way of Hable Con Ella.

I like classic movies a lot, and could have easily put more of them on my list.

Master of the Flying Guillotine

You win the game! Allllllllmost made it onto my list, and maybe should have.Also awesome to see Suspiria on multiple lists. If anything, it leaves an indelible impression.

Now if someone would just list a Lucio Fulci film, we'd have a bonna fide Italian horror club here.

This weekend, I hope. Don't want to look at your lists before mine, and then I'm sure I'll have plenty of moments.

The Hours

A little overconfessional here, but i can tell you that Last Tango had the greatest influence on me of any film i've ever seen. I was a kid from the neighbahood who, by running away to join the hippies, got way too much tail without understanding much of it. Last Tango showed me how tricky & deep entanglements could be and hence i invested myself in the process in an entirely different & much more satisfying way. And i put Brando's Paul up there with McMurphy & Sophie as the the greatest portrayals of all time. Best soundtrack ever, too.
