well, there's a bunch of people from the trails rpgs, and the demi-fiend from nocturne, and that narrator dude from stanley parable...

hmm. well, including only feature films, here's my stats 18 from 1910s 46 from 1920s 53 from 1930s 54 from 1940s 100 from 1950s 155 from 1960s 128 from 1970s 124 from 1980s 171 from 1990s 377 from 2000s 162 from 2010s

in terms of feature films, l'inferno from 1911 is my earliest. it's pretty poor though. the earliest feature i've actually enjoyed would be l'enfant de paris from 1913, which is a really fun mystery film.

i really liked the first two thirds of red shoes, up to and including the ballet scene. the final act was pretty miserable though.

lars von trier: melancholia, dancer in the dark, breaking the waves ingmar bergman: persona, cries and whispers, through a glass darkly david lynch: inland empire, mulholland drive, eraserhead incidentally, stanley kubrick and abbas kiarostami are the other two who would absolutely have three films in my top 85 (all the movies i've rated at least "incredible"). bela tarr, werner herzog, jacques rivette and robert bresson would all have a chance at rounding out the top 100 if i could be bothered constructing a list.

transformers: the movie (1986)

F oh dear. i knew going up the best animated list was a bad idea.

F i did laugh a few times in the first half but this is worthless feel good garbage. now an animated film with pirates just stealing shit and burning shit down might be worth watching.

fuck it, i'm in an animation mood, i'll just watch everything i haven't seen from the bottom up until i'm bored. just saw nightmare before christmas (decent) and ernest and celestine (really good).

B+ a capitalist society hellbent on endless production requires the division of labour into segregated classes, preventing the development of genuine intimacy. the maintenance of this "society" is sustained not only at the end of law's baton, but in the dissemination of ideas: one must believe in the Big Bad Bear. a truly surprising and funny film that is not at all reducible to a simplistic "prejudice is bad".

C+ the bit with the child screaming while a giant snake was eating their christmas tree was hilarious. obviously the oogie boogie man should have been the protagonist.

is there a list-to-date post somewhere? some of the films on the bottom half look interesting.

was kinda shocked to see waking life on here, not that linklater is some unknown avant-gardist but it just doesn't seem to be talked about much. it's the only film of his that i've actually enjoyed to date lol. and yeah, still really need to see paprika/perfect blue/etc.

decimals are aesthetically disgusting.

a number is just a label, it doesn't have to mean percentage of goodness or whatever. i could give 0 to mean best and 100 worst, or anything else.

30 is a pass grade and means i enjoyed it to some extent. 40 is recommended. 50 is good. 60 is very good and means i loved it. i don't see the point in leaving so much rating space for bad movies, isn't it more important to know the difference between your very favourites than your very least favourites?

welles' best movie. 66/100 (very good)

out of 100: 1. world of tomorrow 52 2. bitter lake 49 3. ex machina 37 4. no no sleep 36 5. inside out 28 6. mad max: fury road 21 7. tale of tales 11 8. jurassic world 4 9. kung fury 3

i haven't seen them.

it should have been more batshit and less hollywood. the score was utterly abysmal, for instance. how about some zorn-style free jazz grindcore in the background? well, i can dream...

it became very clear very quickly that at least part of this movie was going to be about a guy wanting to fuck a feminised robot, but it definitely wasn't as bad as it could have been, and was much less painful than, oh i dunno, HER in that respect. in other respects, it was okay, with a nice ending.

vaguely enjoyable D
