Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B 12 Angry Men is a film I admire a great deal in theory, on a conceptual level, and certainly find interesting, but I have never loved it. I definitely prefer other Lumet films, such as Serpico and The Verdict.

For me: Cameron had 5 for me. Spielberg, Kubrick and Nolan all had four. Edgar Wright, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, Brad Bird, Kevin Smith, Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino had three. John Landis, David Fincher, Robert Zemeckis and Mel Brooks had two. I think that's it.

But too many safe choices. given all the films i've seen, i think it's interesting enough. this was chosen from a pool of 462, which is pretty much all the films i've ever seen (certainly that i can remember). 100 of them are like shitty family films i saw ages ago. and given i've seen like 250 films in the last 6 months, most of which are critical canon, i'm not exactly a connoisseur yet.  anyway, i think my choices are less 'safe' than a few people here so far.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B 40. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Larry Charles
2006 an utterly shocking piece of satire. wow, man. 39. Apocalyspe Now
Francis-Ford Coppola
1979 i saw the redux version, which contained some odd scenes, but the delicious surrealism made up for any problems. 38. Blue Velvet
David Lynch
1986 baby does want to fuck.  37. Dog Day Afternoon
Sidney Lumet
1975 given that all the lumet films i've seen have been posted on this list, it'd be a bit premature to call this his best. but what a performance by pacino, and it's touching and sympathetic too. 36. Vertigo
Alfred Hitchcock
1958 i feel bad for putting hitchcock's most canonised film up top, but it's his least straightforward, most surreal and a slightly different work for a director who's probably marginally overrated.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B I have agreed and disagreed with certain choices along the way in the interest of argument and conversation, but it is definitely a solid list.
"Safety" is an arbitrary barometer anyway, in my opinion.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B 35. 羅生門 - Rashōmon
Akira Kurosawa
1950 not just the clever editing, but the way unique perspectives are used is amazing...quite pessimistic too. 34. Fanny och Alexander
Ingmar Bergman
1982 there is something about observing the bourgeoisie that i find immensely enjoyable and interesting. 33. Forbrydelsens element - The Element of Crime
Lars von Trier
1984 a dystopian, atmospheric and deeply psychological film, on subjective investigation methods and the melding of personalities that results. a truly wonderful colour palette gives rise to a bizzare and haunting experience and leaves one much to think about. 32. The Big Lebowski
Ethan & Joel Coen
1998 the way that the coens just exude cool... 31. Trois Couleurs: Bleu - Three Colours: Blue
Krzysztof Kieslowski
1993 the best of the trilogy. the silences are amazing.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B 30. The Bridge on the River Kwai
David Lean
1957 i'm a sucker for philosophically anti-war movies. 29. Fargo
Ethan & Joel Coen
1996 the epitome of the coen's perfect mix of comedy and morbidity. 28. Scener ur ett äktenskap - Scenes from a Marriage
Ingmar Bergman
1973 about as good as two people talking for five hours ever could be. 27. All Quiet on the Western Front
Lewis Milestone
1930 this doesn't feature any heart-pumping action or explosive beauty. it's just kids getting gunned down. 26. There Will Be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson
2007 i drink your milkshake etc.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B 25. Солярис - Solaris
Andrei Tarkovsky
1972 that ending. oh god, that ending! 24. 4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile - 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Cristian Mungiu
2007 and the dinner scene here. wow. 23. Viskningar och rop - Cries and Whispers
Ingmar Bergman
1972 death and disconnection. bleakest bergman yet, which is saying something, though there are occasional moments of genuine tenderness. also genital mutilation 22. Der letzte Mann - The Last Laugh
F. W. Murnau
1924 an absolute masterpiece of silent cinema. on the trials of old age, and attachment to a now unattainable past. the photography is something to behold, and there is one sequence in particular (drunken dreamland) that is astonishing. the ending seems to receive hate, but the viciously cynical counterpoint to an extremely sad story is wonderful in its brutality, and extremely courageous, especially for its time. perhaps a little overlong in places, notably in the ending, but otherwise brilliant. 21. Rosemary's Baby
Roman Polanski
1968 la la la laaaaaa la, la la la la la la la la............ one of the greatest finales ever.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B Heh! Inny Binny names some choices that would never come even close to my top 5000, but then also names three more matches that if I'm not mistaken, weren't listed before.
At least the Solaris named is the least worst of the two.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B I think Inny works for the AFI or the BFI, and has only ever seen movies from either organisations Top Films lists.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B I believe you will highly enjoy/love Witness and Near Dark. Barry Lyndon, we'll see.  I am certainly intrigued to see your response. As for the latest additions to In A Bin A's list, I love The Bridge on the River Kwai. David Lean is a god to me. It almost made my list. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a neat choice. Such an arresting, disquieting film. I wonder if he has seen Kes. _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Inny B I've seen Kes. It's one of my Mum's favourite movies. She always goes on about how sad it is when the kestrel gets killed. I thought it wasn't a great film, and personally I feel Loach is an overrated director by people that have heard of him. The social issues in his films are dated and thus do not interest me.
