i think we should vote once we get to 1200 or whatever, you choosing when to vote on random films will put your personal influence in too much

All right! Well looks like they're getting entered in!

FYI I'm hitting the hay for the night - I'll be here again between 10 and noon (somewhere in that region) to check on your lists and stuff. See you all in the late AM/early PM!

i don't think i can be bothered to check which movies have been done already. i'll just post my original 25, which i think cover a pretty good cross-section of cinema: броненосец потёмкин [battleship potemkin] (1925)metropolis (1927)sonnenaufgang [sunrise] (1927)all quiet on the western front (1930)le samouraï (1967)2001: a space odyssey (1968)the fly (1968)rosemary's baby (1968)a clockwork orange (1971)la nuit américaine [day for night] (1973)зеркало [mirror] (1975)eraserhead (1977)alien (1979)der himmel über berlin [wings of desire] (1987)アキラ [akira] (1988)trois couleurs: bleu [three colors: blue] (1993)the big lebowski (1998)moulin rouge! (2001)dogville (2003)borat: cultural learnings of america for make benefit glorious nation of kazakhstan (2006)el laberinto del fauno [pan's labyrinth] (2006)4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile [4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days] (2007)coraline (2009)κυνόδοντας [dogtooth] (2009)melancholia (2011)

You covered quite a bit and it's ok! As long as you have 5 entries that weren't listed earlier, you can put them there! Rosemary's Baby is a phenomenal film and definitely a horror gem. Coraline is an underrated animated film IMO, while Alien is a great sci-fi thriller and a solid pick. Haven't seen the others but they all definitely give the list character! Thanks for posting, Lisa!

I just think it's vastly overrated and didn't deserve to be in a list of films to see before you die. Again, it's an opinion and an unpopular one at that but it's what I think

Batman spends way too much time off screen placing fuel at strategic places so that it forms at firey batman signs when lit with a match...

Spider Man should cry more, violence is cause for sorrow

Young Anakn Skywalker was a lovely child and I would have told him to stay in that cockpit if I had the chance

Avatar was wrong, military men are society's most smart and non violent men and can solve all our problems with words of kindness

RDJ is the worst actor to ever play Iron Man

RDJ is the only actor to play Iron Man...

Why wouldn't Hard Days Night be considered?

I was just joking around but I kinda disdain the movie. However, it's not my choice so it's whatever everyone here votes in!

Same with Out of Africa and The English Patient!

August 14, 2013

You know what happens when you read this page quickly without actually reading whole sentences?You think LeBron James is gonna voice the dinosaur in this movie.

That would actually be a smart way of bringing in an urban audience... let's remove the thread before Disney gets any ideas!!! :lol:

August 14, 2013

You could also say that a live action movie is animating a series a photos...

You could say that turning on a car was animating an inanimate object too...

Yeah The Muppet Movie is not animation and I would be baffled at anyone who consider it one. pretty sure Kermit's a 3D figure that Jim Henson and co. actually made and used real sets and actors to make the films

August 14, 2013

I'm changing out The General from my ballot to Steamboat Bill Jr. since Telemachos listed it, really appreciate how you listed all of those silent classics! Can't have everything be from after 1980!

So far we have 62 films! Only 938 before we reach 1000 and 1438 until we reach the limit of 1500 nominees

August 14, 2013

FYI, the following three films would be preferably not on the list -

1. A Hard Day's Night (1964)

2. Out of Africa (1985)

3. The English Patient (1996)

Hahahaha :lol:

But of course, if everyone wants them on I won't object... but The Muppet Movie WILL have a slot on this list

So far, I like what I see... and I guess I can move the maximum to a set number of 25 so that everyone has an easier time.

Also, 1500 is the maximum number of nominees for the list and the first 100 listed are all guarenteed a spot on the list.

August 14, 2013

What difference does it make if it's PM'ed or not.

Well it's easier to keep count and debate on them if they're posted here but I'm okay with either

August 14, 2013

Well I was planning on posting the lists that appear each time someone puts 20 new movies in it seems this list has everyone thinking!!

Why are we limiting it to 20?

To make it a collective effort since there'd be a lot of people who would put 100 or 200 whereas 20 makes it easier to keep a tally. But I can up it to a maximum of 35 to make things run a little faster

Personally, I think 20 is a nice round number and it gives the list a little character

August 14, 2013

This could be really interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The film removal bit might cause some arguments, though, at least in my view.

[*]Casablanca (1942)

[*]Rear Window (1954)

[*]2001: A Space Oddyssey (1969)

[*]The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

[*]Annie Hall (1977)

[*]Ran (1985)

[*]The Princess Bride (1987)

[*]Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

[*]Do The Right Thing (1989)

[*]Goodfellas (1990)

[*]Beauty & The Beast (1991)

[*]The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

[*]Toy Story (1995)

[*]Fargo (1996)

[*]Spirited Away (2001)

[*]Oldboy (2003)

[*]Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)

[*]Ratatouille (2007)

[*]The Social Network (2010)

[*]Cloud Atlas (2012)

Great entries! And it's only if the film in question is universally panned... as long as the film can get enough defenders, it'll be safe from removal. That part is something I'm still working on!

August 14, 2013

^ I think it's without votes and stuff. Just whatever movie we post, while we're still counting, enters the 1001 movies.

So the first 20 must see movies are his first post.

Is that right? Or you want to vote and count them?

It's not a voting list but something like Transformers 2 or Madea Goes to Jail is listed, we get a say whether it actually stays on there or not and it's a collective effort so it'll grow and grow hopefully. I'm going to keep count of how many there are along the way but it's not a voting list

August 14, 2013

I think the existing 1000 list is excellent.

On the other hand, it'd be interesting to see what we -- collectively -- would consider "1000 films worth seeing".

Lol I don't completely hate the list since Muppet Movie is on it :wub: lol but I definitely think it'll be a cool experiment when all is said and done!

August 14, 2013

Well, I have found myself in disagreement with the 1001 movies list so I decided that maybe as a collective effort, we can all come up with a better one.

Rules

1. Minimum of 5 entries per post and maximum of 25 entries per post

2. All films must be listed in order by year

3. If two entries are released in the same year, put them in alphabetical order

4. All films are elligible

5. Put the year next to each film

6. Number them so it's easy to count!

7. Think of films you believe someone should see in their lifetime

8. 1500 maximum nominees - elmination will narrow it down to 1000

9. The first 100 films listed are guaranteed a spot on the list

10. If a film is universally panned, the folks in this forum reserve the right to vote to remove it from consideration

This is a way of trying to bridge the gap between commercial films and arthouse films - I want to try and get a good balance of both.

Let's have fun with this!

So without further adieu, I'll enter 20 films to start us off

1. The General (1927)

2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938)

3. The Wizard of Oz (1939)

4. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

5. On the Waterfront (1954)

6. Psycho (1960)

7. Dr. Strangelove (1964)

8. The Graduate (1967)

9. The Godfather (1972)

10. Star Wars (1977)

11. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

12. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

13. Back to the Future (1985)

14. My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

15. Edward Scissorhands (1990)

16. Forrest Gump (1994)

17.Pulp Fiction (1994)

18. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

19. WALL-E (2008)

20. The Avengers (2012)

20 down, 980 to go!

August 14, 2013
