1-Carlito’s Way – Brian De Palma (1993)
2-Untitled – Cameron Crowe (2000)
3-Magnolia – Paul Thomas Anderson (1999)
4-Taxi Driver – Martin Scorsese (1976)
5-Toy Story 2 – John Lasster, Lee Unkrich, Ash Brannon (1999)
6-The Godfather- Francis Ford Coppola (1971)
7-Heathers – Michael Lehmann (1988)
8-Chasing Amy – Kevin Smith (1997)
9-The Princess Bride – Rob Reiner (1988)
10-American Beauty – Sam Mendes (1999)

11-Shrek – Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jensen (2001)
12-The Silence of the Lambs – Johnathan Demme (1991)
13-The Last Seduction – John Dahl (1993)
14-Natural Born Killers – Oliver Stone (1994)
15-Fargo – Joel Coen (1996)
16-Frankenstein – James Whale (1931)
17-Annie Hall – Woody Allen (1976)
18-Boogie Nights – Paul Thomas Anderson (1997)
19-This is Spinal Tap – Rob Riener (1984)
20-Badlands - Terence Malick (1971)

I've mainly got films from the 90's on there simply because I've not seen a vast amount of older films.

Re your list Quentin
Good choices:

Strangers On A Train -1951; Alfred Hitchcock
The Godfather -1972; Francis Ford Coppola
Taxi Driver -1976, Martin Scorsese
Raging Bull -1980; Martin Scorsese
GoodFellas -1990; Martin Scorsese
Pulp Fiction -1994; Quentin Tarantino
Magnolia -Paul Thomas Anderson
Annie Hall -1977; Woody Allen

I've seen very few of the others but I have to say I found Citizen Kane to be rather overrated, it's not like it's bad (7/10) and granted it looks great, but the best film of all time? Not even close.

I can't suggest you ennought to rent the best trilogy ever by Emir Kusturica. Well Stanley Kubrick trilogy was maybe as good (the trilogy** I'm talking about here is Dr Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork).

1- Time of the Gypsies (1989)
2- Underground (1995) (after witch he said he would never make a movie again. Why? Cause he got accused of crime agains't humanity for this movie http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif)
3- Black Cat, White Cat (1998) (but hopefully, he didn't kept his promess. He completed his trilogy)

Watch them one after the other. It's the most important director alive... and one of the greatest artist on the planet. Where do you live by the way? Are you from Montréal like Joblo, Arrow... and me. If you are, you can find all those movies easily at La Boite Noire.

As for Un Monde Sans Pitié, it's really a personnal favorite. I watched it about 50 times and I showed it to all my friends since I'm 15 years old (I'm now 21). To me, it's one of the greatest picture on the Generation X. It ain't consider by any critics as a really important movies in the history of cinema. They will mention more Les Amants de Pont-Neuf by Leos Carax or 37°2 le matin by Jean-Jacques Beineix... That, as well, I highly suggest to find a video store where you can rent it. I never saw someone that didn't like this movie.


**Ok, let's me clarify how this is a trilogy. Watch the end of Dr Strangelove. See the structure of the picture. Watch the first picture of 2001. It's the same thing. Then, at the end of 2001, we got a close-up of the foetus face. And Clockwork Orange start with a close-up of Alex face. Now you too know it's really a trilogy and they all build up to a brilliant view on the human behavior. If you still don't believe me, read the greatest book on Stanley Kubrick by Michel Ciment (witch also got the best S.Kubrick interview ever).


------------
Oh yes, and great list Fergus. I'm not surprised to see some foreign titles there. I find mine lack alot of them when I watch it now. Not a single Jean-Luc Godard or a François Truffault... No Alain Resnais, Louis Malle and not a single Tavernier witch I highly respect.

For one thing, you really do like Spielberg alot more then I do. I won't be controversial, but I really don't like him. Even more since Schindler's List. The most hypocritical movies on WWII holocaust. Now with AI, I trully believe Kubrick made an error in giving him the project. The way he worked the material is really pissing me off. While he could have made a great movie about the one true feeling : love. He made a mixed-up demagogic movies about all kinda random feelings that was 1 hour too long. Else then that, good call on The Bicycle Thief, On The Waterfront, Jules and Jim and Wild Strawberries (my second favorite Bergman). Oh yeah, BTW, I had no clues what Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) was. I guess I'll have to have a look at it.

I live in a small town in southern Illinois. Underground was very hard to find and it is the most readily-accesible of Kusturica's films. I doubt I'll see the film until I'm out of this area. Another problem in finding certain films is I have to go to St Louis to get them, and I can't drive yet (I just turned 15) so I have to find someone to drive me for an hour just to go pick up a video...

I saw Betty Blue and found it overrated, though I find Beneix's previous film Diva to be excellent, it's one of my favorite films of the 1980's. Maybe I'll try to find Un Monde Sans Pitie, is it available on Region 1 DVD, if so it shouldn't be hard to pick up from Netflix.

As for Kubrick's "trilogy" I somewhat agree, it is a trilogy in the same vein that Se7en, The Game and Fight Club or Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown are a trilogy. Is Kusturica's trilogy of this sort?

Liking Spielberg stems back to my childhood. His movies, mostly E.T., hold a special place for me in my memory, not to be too sentimental. It is my all time favorite film. Schindler's List has always been a great film in my mind, watched it twice. Why do you see it as hypocritical... hypocritical of what? And I have yet to make my decision on A.I., and I won't know until I see it one more time, but I know what you mean by the "mixed emotions"...

1- Black Cat/White Cat is not old at all so it should be available in your nearest Blockbuster I would say. I can find it in most video stores. Even the ones that doesn't have many foreign movies. For Time of the Gypsies you would have to search cause I know no videoclub will have it except specialised ones. I discover Kusturica with that movies and I catch it on TV.

2- http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005CEXJ.08.LZZZZZZZ.jpg For this movie, http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005CEXJ/ref%3Dpd%5Fpbs%5Fd%5F3/402-8208111-7498565 I don't find any DVD region 1. I really don't know again where you could get that except from a specialised video club. On VHS

3- And yes, Kusturica trilogy is just like Tarantino, Fincher and Kubrick trilogy. If you find his trilogy. Watch out for the people hanging themself in each movies in the weirdest way. One of my favorite shot from him is a guy that hang himself with the rope of the church bell in Time of the Gypsies. You really have to watch Underground again if you only saw it once to really understand how this movie is important. This is the most cinematographic movies of modern days. And I'm really excited cause he finally come back once again this year with The Nose http://us.imdb.com/Title?0279276 witch shall be easier for you to find cause it's in english. Also, you probably can easily find Arizona Dream, his only american movies with Johnny Depp. It is a really great movie, but can't compare to all the others I mention.

</font>

I don't know if I can resume that in short. I made a 10 000 words analysis of this movie for a class I had witch got really good results. I was the only one in the 300 students to give it a bad reviews. I'll resume it that way. What I don't like is the display, the little girl and the illustration.

I think the little girl was the thing that set me off. I remember once having the same thing from a Victor Hugo poems. Again, another historic figure everyone loves and that I trully hate. The poem was about kids working in a shoes factory and it was all going around the 14 years old girls. Her fragility was the center of the whole poem. And that again set me off. My controversial analysis ended up saying Victor Hugo was having fantasm about the little girl. Again, I got good results http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif The problem I see here is a contextualisation. He try so much for the huge catharsis that I feel he corrupt the first idea, witch is to represent realistically the worst horror of the XXth century. Sorry, I don't buy it.

I really have no intention to put these in any kind of order because that would be a little hard for me. Anyway, my list:

- The Godfather (10/10)
- Memento (9/10)
- All The Pretty Horses (10/10
- Legends of the Fall (10/10)
- The Godfather Part 2 (9.5/10)

- Platoon (9/10)
- We Were Soldiers (10/10)
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

- Good Will Hunting (9/10)
- A Beautiful Mind (9/10)
- American Beauty (9/10)
- Shindler's List
- Shakespeare In Love
- Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
- Gladiator
- Unbreakable
- Moulin Rouge!
- The Basketball Diaries
- Ghost World (8/10)
- The Silence Of The Lambs
- The English Patient
- Saving Private Ryan (8/10)
- The Insider
- Pollock
- Traffic
- Almost Famous (9/10)
- The Contender
- Thirteen Days
- The Breakfast Club
- Grease
- Rebel Without A Cause
- The Outsiders
- Star Wars
- Empire Strikes Back
- Return Of The Jedi

P.S. I have yet to see a few films that you guys would consider "classic". I love classic films as much as the next guy, but I tend to like more modern stuff a lot more. The list I gave consists of mostly films that I found to be interesting, powerful, and in-depth. Just ones that I loved. And the reason why I stopped grading half way through was because it has been awhile since I saw the ones I did not grade and really can't remember how good they were. I remember them being good though. And if you see films that you loved not on my list it's either because I haven't seen them yet or because I didn't love them as much as you did.

How is it you could have not seen Ghost World recently? It only came out less than 8 months ago, and I thought you saw it on video anyway, and that only came out on February 5th of this year... so how is it that you haven't seen this recently, that doesn't make sense.

[bankholdup]

in no order whatsoever:

Good Will Hunting
Shawshank Redemption
Saving Private Ryan
Dog Day Afternoon
Forrest Gump
Scarface

[urbanlegend23]

TOP FIRST 10

1. Requiem for a Dream (2000) – Darren Aronofsky
2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) – Frank Darabont

[seenic]

Having seen over 5,000 films, there is no way I can narrow them down to 100, much less 10. And my feelings change all the time. Some movies I can watch and enjoy only when I am in a certain mood.

I am a sucker for sentiment and music so I like:
Mary Poppins
Wizard of Oz
Singin' in the Rain

I have low-brow comedy tastes, so I like:
the 'Road' movies - all but the last, with Joan Collins
the first 5 Marx Brothers movies
Animal House

I have been a big SF fan (NOT fantasy LOTR fanatics) all my life, so I like:

Metropolis
Forbidden Planet
Alien & Aliens

I like monster pictures such as:

King Kong (1933 ver)
It Came From Beneath the Sea
Godzilla - the newest one - so bad and campy it was funny

You're right, QUENTIN. Thank you for pointing that out to me because I didn't realize that I had forgotten to give Ghost World a grade. I do have a grade for it but at the time I was posting that I must have forgotten to type the grade in, I thought I did, but I guess not. Thanks. I just edited (sp.) that post of my favorites, so my grade for Ghost World is now up there.

I still don't understand why LOTR and Moulin Rouge don't have grades, but...eh.

Give me a couple of days to watch the movies and then they will have grades. Work for you?

I know I am... I gotta praise ABM even though I gave it a 9/10, instead of jumping on the bandwagon for LOTR http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif. I just can't stand being like everyone else. You all are just so boring http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif......
