As for the ranking thing, that's what the tiers are for! Particularly for relieving the headache as much as possible when it comes to the bottom 50. So you can still shuffle things around before the deadline if you're so inclined. If not, 'sall good.
Yeah, I'm not doing that. The reason I don't vote for most of the countdowns on this site is that I overthink myself to death and give up before I even make my list. You can already count it as final.
My reaction when I found out that 2 of my 2009 faves are eligible after I locked down my 100.

I guess narrowing it down to 100 is really hard but ranking those 100 after that is a fucking nightmare. So I kinda gave up halfway through. I'm pretty sure the top 25-30 is ranked and the rest I just listed randomly, number 37 could be switched with 73 etc. Anyway here we go.

Since this is TV series now I fear they will remake shot for shot almost all of the cutscenes. I think a movie that wouldn't have had the time to include every interaction and minor character of the game would be way more exciting.

It's an outrageous budget for a period piece but even if we forget about The Irishman's budget (for the much need LOL special effects) Hugo at $170m budget 9 years ago says hi (originally budgeted at $100m and Scorsese went over). Gangs of NY almost 20 years ago had a $97m budget.
All those made at least some sence in context though. Irishman's budget got so high because of the de-aging CGI and probably didn't get greenlight with a 160m budget from the start. Hugo was a pitched as a PG film for all the family and got made within that 2 year bubble where 3D was the future of cinema. Gangs was at the tail end of an era where historical epics of that scale where still a thing, and they almost built a lifesize replica of 19th century New York at Cinecitta studios. You can see where all the money went.
This project is a crime thriller set in the 1920s. Even if both Leo and Scorsese wanted 20m each upfront and to rebuild Osafe county of the 20s Gangs of NY style, I still don't see how you could get even close to that 220m number. It must be just bullshit a guy on twitter said just because he can.

I don't think Leo would ever turn down Scorsese. Whether it's netflix or even a tv show/ limited series in HBO and Scorsese asked, he would probably do it.
If this project is indeed at 220m pricetag (which it can't be) netflix will also turn it down even if Leo is in it.

I 've said in the past about my theory that these horrendous cheap looking movies appeal to the exact same audience that don't watch any other kind of movie. Well numbers don't lie 😏

It is tricky to say given all the potential non-english are pretty buzzless pre-release stage.
It's impossible to say before Cannes and Venice. The three non-english movies that made it this decade won one of the big festivals first.

@charlie Jatinder I have a question.
Around last weekend Mojo had it around 35 DOM/ 130 OS. Ofc Mojo is always behind in collecting data from many OS markets but how far behind?
If it's at 230m now I wonder how much of those extra 65m were in the last week and how much older not reported grosses. Do you know how much it had made till oscar sunday WW?

You missed Volver. It did 85 mil WW. Almodovar's biggest hit.

Joker was also the highest grossing Venice winner in a while (and maybe ever?)
the year before that Shoplifters (2018 Cannes winner) was the 4th highest grossing film in Japan. more accessible films have been winning Cannes/Venice lately, the stuff in Berlin festival are still alot more niche though.
Yeah but I think in Cannes and to lesser extent Berlin might still be something that happens from time to time. The Pianist won 2 years before Fahrenheit, and in the 90s The Piano and Pulp Fiction won back to back and the festival returned to more obscure arthouse stuff every time.
Venice is a completely different story. Their last three winners are Shape of Water, Roma and Joker. It has transformed into oscar season day1 over the last decade.

I think of all Lowery films as very good but just short of being great. There's something missing but I don't know what. But Holy shit that trailer! This is not a drill!

Bong easily has the most populist sensibilities of any of these korean new wave guys (maybe kim jee woon too). really unsurprising that if anyone was gonna make a major breakout korean film it would be him. that said up until a year ago i think park chan wook was the most famous Korean director internationally. But yeah, Bong lapped him with this one.
I've been saying this since Parasite won Palme D'Or. Bong is a commercial filmmaker and all his movies in South Korea are big mainstream hits even the smaller ones. They reached western audiences through festivals but they weren't ever considered "festival" movies. Both the Host and Mother were not deem serious enough for Cannes main competition and even Parasite's win was a big surprise.
Parasite being by far the most succesfull Palme D'Or winner at the box office since Fahrenheit 9/11, says a lot about how uncharacteristically commercial this movie is for a Cannes winner.

Imo, Sandler could've contended for Best Actor.
I bet they hate Sandler for making all those Grown Up Movies.
I think we have to wait and see on that one. His previous well-reviewed "serious" turns were too small and not in the oscar conversation, this is the first time he was really snubbed. It was the most packed Best Actor race in many years and his movie didn't get any other nominations despite good reviews and boxoffice.
If he miss again for a movie that has other nominations, I guess you can say they 're giving him the "you can't sit with us" treatment like they did to Jim Carrey in the past.
In the end who cares, he gave the performance of the year anyway. Let the oscars nominate another 40 Popes.

The trajectory of this movie from Cannes to now both in awards and boxoffice is still unbelievable to me. Truly a lightning in a bottle situation.

The movie suffered from its gigantic success. It debuted in Top15 on IMDb in 1998, but after the whole "biggest box office of all time! 11 Oscars! etc." people started to hate it from silly reasons. Somewhere in 2205 it drooped to 6.9/10 on IMDb, now Titanic has 7.8/10 (very impressive hump after 2012 re-release).
It was in a way unavoidable. In early 00s where the internet was much smaller and its demographic much more young male heavy than it is today, "Why Titanic actually sucks" was the granddaddy of all the tired movie related hot takes we see to this day.

Most surprising thing is that it tries to match the original's tone. I thought they would go for a more sundance dramedy vibe considering who writes it. I hope at least the actors can make it worth a bit.

I 've watched this twice aready and I think it's my favorite movie of the year. And Sandler's performance is so perfect, truly the role of his life.
I understand why they went Netflix for other markets. Sandler was never that big overseas and the plot revolves around betting on an NBA game, but still I wish I could see it in the big screen.
