70. Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson
2009


Image

honestly, 2009 was such a fucking great year for animation, with so many unique gems.

69. Carrie
Brian de Palma
1976


Image

i thought this de palma fellow was gonna be shit, but my love of 'well, that escalated quickly'-style commentaries made this one a great surprise.

68. Mary & Max
Adam Elliott
2009


Image

the third 2009 animation on this list, a wickedly insightful and genuinely sympathetic look at asperger's.

67. The Pianist
Roman Polanski
2002


Image

given my distaste for the sentimentalisation of war, i'm not sure why i like this one so much. but the manipulative play between pianos, war and sadness did me in. sue me.

66. United 93
Paul Greengrass
2006


Image

been a long time since i saw this, and my tastes have changed a lot, but this was such an astonishingly tortuous experience back then that i can't leave it off.

The sentimental piano music fooled you into feeling sorry for the Jews, eh?

L'eclisse and Rohypnol are synonyms.

Traffic is my favorite Soderbergh, but I love a lot of his movies. Sex, Lies... and The Limey are superb. And his recent run, including films such as Magic Mike and Side Effects, is highly worthy, too.

I also have an unapologetic soft spot for his version of Solaris.

60. I'm Still Here
Joaquin Phoenix
2010


Image

it doesn't matter that it was a hoax. the public and the media succumbed to the point he was trying to make anyway.

59. Black Swan
Darren Aronofsky
2010


Image

creepy over-the-top theatrics representing psychological torture.

58. Der Himmel über Berlin - Wings of Desire
Wim Wenders
1987


Image

a sentimental love story, but a great one.

57. アキラ - Akira
Katsuhiro Ôtomo
1988


Image

the most ridiculous crescendo ever. makes no sense whatsoever but a great example of how extreme indulgence in cinema yields awesome results.

56. Eyes Wide Shut
Stanley Kubrick
1999


Image

totally underrated kubrick. drunk/high kidman is awesome.

55. M
Fritz Lang
1931


Image

fritz lang is generally a genius. trial by beggars is amazing.

54. Fight Club
David Fincher
1999


Image

to me, this movie is obviously - obviously - an utterly vicious satire of idiotic male fantasy. this is clear throughout pretty much the entire movie. it represents the male fear of emasculation through consumerism, conformity and feminism and then proceeds to tear it apart with the most vitriol it could possibly express.

some people don't seem to get the satire. hell, many of its most ardent fans would love nothing more than to suck tyler durden's dick and do everything he says in the name of freedom.

but whatever. great movie.

53. Chinatown
Roman Polanski
1974


Image

a perfect puzzle.

52. His Girl Friday
Howard Hawks
1940


Image

a highly satiric comedy on media superficiality. i think i like this style of ridiculously fast dialogue. truly hilarious with a fantastic assortment of mildly sociopathic characters.

51. Trois Couleurs: Rouge - Three Colours: Red
Krzysztof Kieslowski
1994


Image

a great end to a great trilogy. though i've never been convinced that each one has been about what it's supposed to be.

I love the entire trilogy, but White > Blue > Red.

Eyes Wide Shut is a very solid choice.

Black Swan is creepy and neat, but overrated.

Oh, and controversial statement, but screw it: I can do without the American screwball comedies of the 1930s and early 1940s almost entirely. Even the ones everyone masturbates over (Bringing Up Baby, It Happened One Night) don't cut it for me very much.

50. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Trey Parker & Matt Stone
1999


Image

brilliant satire of both america and musicals.

49. Taxi Driver
Martin Scorsese
1976


Image

new york.

48. La città delle donne - City of Women
Federico Fellini
1980


Image

massively underrated fellini picture that exaggerates feminist women and masculine men in the most absurd way.

51. Det sjunde inseglet - The Seventh Seal
Ingmar Bergman
1957


Image

it's rather hard to argue against a movie in which death plays chess.

45. Le mépris - Contempt
Jean-Luc Godard
1963


Image

godard's best, and his most philosophically coherent.

it happened one night didn't do an awful lot for me. bringing up baby is sitting a few feet away from me now, ready to be watched.

I enjoy Magnus, self-proclaimed bro, calling it "Blanc." How prétentieux. ;)

45. Moulin Rouge!
Baz Luhrmann
2001


Image

an ecstatic candy-coated sugar rush of a film. one of the most wildly unique things i've seen. pure entertainment and sensory delight.

44. La nuit américaine - Day for Night
François Truffaut
1973


Image

one of the best movies about movies.

43. 12 Angry Men
Sidney Lumet
1957


Image

best one-room film? that i can think of, anyway.

42. Le samouraï
Jean-Pierre Melville
1967


Image

the quintessential film-noir in my mind, with all its beautiful silences.

41. The Fly
David Cronenberg
1986


Image

tragically beautiful, and also disgusting.

Le Samouraï is a strong inclusion. Le cercle rouge is my personal favorite Melville, but a lot of his films are great. Bob le flambeur is a blast. Army of Shadows is a major achievement. And so on.

We had Rohypnol before. Some of the new picks are the equivalent of Ambien, Lunesta, Rozerem,.... Still, two more matches. ;)
