Post your top 100 in here

[balmakboor]

I should add that, to maximize diversity and best capture my range of tastes, I limited myself to one film per director. It is a list I'm quite pleased with, but I could very easily have flooded it with a number of Ozu films -- such as Tokyo Chorus which I just finished watching and still find enchanting. More by Fassbinder, Linklater, Coppola, Herzog, Powell, ... could easily have been included as well.

Maybe I'll post a top 1000 some day.

[megladon8]

That's a great list, Raiders. I love that you include Angels With Dirty Faces.

I can't believe some of the films I forgot on my list. In a Lonely Place being a big one.

Also several horrors I would have included had I remembered them.

[Spinal]

I decided I need to have The NeverEnding Story in my top 100. It has been added.

[Ezee E]

A top 100 isn't happening.

1. Goodfellas
2. Boogie Nights
3. The Shining
4. Aliens
5. The Godfather Part II
6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
7. The Exorcist
8. Children of Men
9. Amadeus
10. Raging Bull

A typical list I guess, but I keep coming back to these movies, and I'd be lying if I didn't list these. Amadeus is probably the biggest mover in the list from when I did do a Top 100.

[Spinal]

2. O Lucky Man! (Lindsay Anderson, 1973)
1. A Woman Under the Influence (John Cassavetes, 1974)

Wha? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Melville]

This thread will be great for recommendations. In the spirit of list-making, here are my choices for the top 10 best lists, ranked according to a precise formula:

1. Raiders
2. Boner

5. fasozupow

Poor Eternity. Other than Brick -- which was a pretty whacked out choice in my opinion -- there's lots of good stuff on there. I especially applaud him for Gummo, Jerry, and Tideland.

You're right. Lots of great suggestions in this thread.

I like the following from Russ's list:

3. Taxi Driver (Scorcese, 1976)

It's really cool to see the following:

Carnival of Souls
For All Mankind

[balmakboor]

American Movie is something that would probably make my list if I re-watched it. I haven't seen it for years and years.

[megladon8]

My placement at the bottom of Melville's list is offensive.

I'm taking it as him evaulating my worth as a person, and basically saying that he would choose those 9 other posters' lives over mine.

Way to ruin my day.
