adieu au langage (2014) i haven't seen this, but i know jake gittes has, and i want to see what he thinks.

having just seen ghostbusters, i'd suggest ivan reitman would come close to fitting this. certainly his career outside ghostbusters isn't much to speak of, with a couple of films receiving box office runoff from ghostbusters and one critical success (dave), but nothing outside that.

man, this was just great fun. "very entertaining, and not unintelligent either, with its supernatural ghost story handled with gentle irony. in fact, it's probably even more prescient in today's era of superhero movies. i'll never understand how the ridiculously stoic bill murray got into the movie business, but he's always likable, even adorable in ways, and here delivers most of the laughs." 6.5/10

so, it's not interstellar. lol.

fuck you you stole my joke

coppola is often seen as a 4-hit wonder, with apocalypse now, godfather 1&2 and the conversation making up his 70s masterworks before collapsing into relative critical obscurity from then on.

f for fake is his best work.

i don't think there should be any limit on the films people can add. controversial 'sci-fi-esque' films will be on fewer lists and as such be lower on the results. also, 21st century is far too limiting.

well...

john ford is overrated. there.

scorsese's best. 9/10

i suppose it's time to update this. 9.7 breaking the waves 8.5 fargo 6.3 the watermelon woman 6.3 romeo + juliet 4.0 mission impossible 2.5 happy gilmore 1.5 the nutty professor 1.0 101 dalmations either this year sucked or i've just missed a whole bunch of stuff. any of these look good?

the ending was so ridiculous that my cold, unrepentant soul could only view it as utmost irony.

the correct answer is that no pixar film should make the list.

i actually liked this. :S

my list became much more obscure. i feel special.

LEAVING la roue 1923 the last laugh 1924 M 1931 early summer 1951 nights of cabiria 1957 the seventh seal 1957 rosemary's baby 1968 chinatown 1974 dog day afternoon 1975 taxi driver 1976 city of women 1980 eyes wide shut 1999 fight club 1999 moulin rouge! 2001 the power of nightmares: the rise of the politics of fear 2004 no country for old men 2007 ARRIVING earth 1930 woman in the dunes 1964 dodes'ka-den 1970 el topo 1970 the devils 1971 celine and julie go boating 1974 the ascent 1977 the king of comedy 1988 the wind will carry us 1999 va savoir 2001 irreversible 2002 grizzly man 2005 nostalgia for the light 2010 the turin horse 2011 it's such a beautiful day 2012 nymphomaniac 2014

see, this is what i'd be worried about. movies that bulk up on the horror! action! drama! comedy! are often overstuffed and uninteresting. alien was much more singular in its approach, and as a result was much more singular. (i am exceedingly proud of that sentence)

well, yes. it's childish nonsense.

i just saw the third one from that list, and it was pretty great, 8.5/10.

9.0 nymphomaniac 7.3 grand budapest hotel 5.5 what we do in the shadows 5.3 dark horse 4.0 field punishment no 1 4.0 railway man 2.5 gone girl 1.5 boyhood

7.3 permanent vacation 7.0 the limits of control 7.0 stranger than paradise 6.3 night on earth [seen only first two segments] 5.5 broken flowers 5.0 dead man

btw, i do find it very amusing that baumer loves this movie.

i used this quote in my review! http://iadorepeople.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/fight-club-1999/
