Boxoffice.com's Top 100 Films of All Time 2013 -- RESULTS PRESENTATION 4 PM PST/7 PM EST

[XenoZodiac]

How old are you if you don't mind me asking.  I'm in my early 40's and I can guarantee you I've seen about 5000 movies.  

I'm 20. However, I've seen 3 films in my whole life in the cinema (MI4, Avengers and IM3). Hollywood doesn't have a market in Bangladesh. And I lived in a cantonment my whole life, so a good enough internet connection to download and watch movies is not really an option. I'm getting out after 5 months, after which I believe I can watch a lot more movies.

 

When people say they doubt they've seen 1000 films are you talking about watching a film from beginning to end? Or you caught part of a film on tv?

Umm, I guess including a part, it might get above 1000 by a small margin. I don't watch TV much, I hate ads and competing with my li'l sis.

I think ric not liking Japanese cinema is funny, just because the only foreign cinema I tend to like is from Japan. Kurosawa of course, but also Shall We Dance?, Water Boys, and Good Morning are great comedies.

Strike-Have seen, but not liked

[Dementeleus]

Not particularly. 

 

Far too Western and mainstream for your tastes.

[Dementeleus]

When people say they doubt they've seen 1000 films are you talking about watching a film from beginning to end? Or you caught part of a film on tv?

 

All the way through. There are plenty of films I've seen chunks of, but that doesn't count.

I love european cinema so much more than anywhere else. It's got a different gravitas, feel, and tone to it; it makes it special and better imo. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

I've probably seen over 2,000 films I'd say. I own at least 500 probably more

I'm just the reverse, generally speaking.

Haven't seen City of God either

Why the hell are posting right now? Go and watch it!

Did you see my other list?

 

I mean, I just watched When Harry Met Sally last night for the first time; I'm aware there's tons of movies I need to see

[Fanboy]

I think that will be the last time I ever make a top 50. I know I'll never attempt a top 100 again. 

[Ozymandias]

My problem with a lot of older films is that they are not very well made or acted.  They might have been for the time but when you compare them to a lot of the greats from today, imo, many of them pale.  I think when it comes to acting, you can take some of the worst actors today and they are still better than some of the greats from the past.  The past was just so wooden and robotic when it came to acting.  I know that will piss some people off, but imo, it's absolutely true.

 

Yeah, I find a majority of films made before 1970 better for sleeping than Excedrin PMs.  I certainly appreciate a lot of the critic darlings from that era because of what they did for cinema, but watching them for entertainment purposes? No thanks.
