Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) Lol come on, if my list was affected by peer pressure, I probably wouldn't have left the go-tos Citizen Kane and Casablanca off entirely, nor would my Judd Apatow to Steven Spielberg ratio be 4:0.  _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) It's seen as "hip" to dislike Citizen Kane and Casablanca, and acceptably contrarian to include Apatow.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 35. Husbands and Wives (1992, Woody Allen)  Feel about it the way other people do Manhattan. Conversational greatness and goes to a vicious-place 34. Monty Pyton and the Life of Brian (1979, Terry Jones)  Funny alone gets it this high 33. We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011, Lynne Ramsay)  Amazing monster film and villain origin story. Perfect title, nodding towards the danger of ignoring what must be done 32. The Godfather Part II (1974, Francis Ford Coppola)  Prefer it to the first thanks to the Vito story 31. Inglourious Basterds (2009, Quentin Tarantino)  Tarantino's finest. Brilliantly violent and comic _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 30. Gravity (2013, Alfonso Cuaron)  A clinic. Precise and intense, but also human and personal. 29. Life of Pi (2012, Ang Lee)  Both an amazing ride and symbolically layered. I see the raft as representing life and the boy and Parker as different emotional sides of the same person. 28. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993, Tim Burton)  My favorite animated film. Beautiful, fun, romantic. Nearly perfect. 27. Big Fish (2003, Tim Burton)  Heart filled, personal story. Such a likable film. 26. Halloween (1978, John Carpenter)  How to perfectly make a horror film. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) Surprised to see Gravity, Life of Pi and We Need to Talk About Kevin on your list already, but I am glad to see Inglourious Basterds. It truly is Tarantino's finest.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) Not to nitpick, but Burton didn't direct 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. He was heavily involved of course, but the more credit Henry Selick can get the better. As much as I love Burton, Selick is the superior stop-motion director.
I like Shack's list so far.

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 25. No Country for Old Men (2007, Joel and Ethan Coen)  Existential greatness 24. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964, Stanley Kubrick)  I love the characters seem just serious enough to be believable. Perfect Cold War satire 23. Psycho (1960, Alfred Hitchcock)  Not my highest Hitch film, but may be Hitch the director at his best. Perkins is phenomenal 22. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975, Terry Gilliam)  No need to explain this one 21. Being John Malkovich (1999, Spike Jonze)  One of the most ‘crazy person’ films ever. Genius/hilarious. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) I enjoyed the hell out of the first Transformers flick as well...but in what world can Transformers be placed above The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?!

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 20. Rear Window (1954, Alfred Hitchcock)  I find the double way to interpret it as fascinating. Aside from an expert thriller, it’s also about the film viewing experience, in a way. This connection between the viewing in the film and the viewers of the film is what makes it a masterpiece. 19. Full Metal Jacket (1987, Stanley Kubrick)  A fastball down the plate. Funny, sick, intense, bloody. A pulsating film and my favorite from Kubrick. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 18. Vertigo (1958, Alfred Hitchcock)  One of the most beautiful films and great psychological tale. Everything after he meets her again in the motel, is as good as film gets in this world. 17. Blue Velvet (1986, David Lynch)  The juxtaposition of the innocent world characters meeting the dark/corruption, is brilliant. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) All great choices. Blue Velvet is the only Lynch film that I've managed to make it all the way to the end so far and it is indeed great. "I didn't know they stacked shit that high."

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) Wild At Heart yes - wasn't that far off from making top 100. The other two, no. I have seen Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr., Inland Empire, one of which is ranked higher than Blue Velvet

Re: Return of the All-Time Top 100 Movie List Thread (Shack) 16. The Untouchables (Brian De Palma, 1987)  A pure film. It’s great storytelling. 15. Mulholland Dr. (David Lynch, 2001)  Inside the head of a mental breakdown. Despite the crazy, surprisingly fits together/makes sense and everything has a purpose. Easily a masterpiece. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227
