BoxOffice.com Presents... 1000 Movies to See Before You Die

[4815162342]

Yeah this is getting disorganized. I think we also need to add more films since we only just got to 1000 and need overfill to account for all the ones we throw out.

[Punishment]

We will be down to under 50 films post 2000 once everyone gets done voting films off

[Jake Gittes]

Wait, Lincoln isn't on the list? I'd say it deserves to be there more than 98% of other 2012 films, better add it. One of the only two excellent films Spielberg has done since 2003 (the other being Munich) and a great example of a biopic that lives and breathes instead of feeling like a history lesson and getting suffocated under its own weight.

 

Killer Joe needs to stay goddamn it. Tinker Tailor needs to get the hell out.

[4815162342]

In that case, I submit:

 

Good Night, and Good Luck (2005)

Margin Call (2011)

Lincoln (2012)

[Michael Gary Scott]

Tinker Taylor was awful

Which is the way it should be.

Lincoln is not a great film. Period.

no it shouldnt

[Phil in the Blank]

Roughly 100 years of cinema, 1000 films. Therefore assuming all decades are equal, roughly 100 films a decade!

Some decades are more equal than others.

If you say "period" after a statement it won't make it more true.

Go to bed lab, its late!

Just cause you have no taste and enjoy garbage films doesn't mean the rest of us do. (But in all seriousness, there really isn't that many films in the last decade that are really must sees. Of the big grossers, Potter, Shitto, Avatar, TDK, Avengers, Spidey, Shrek 2, one of the pirates, TS3, Passion of the Christ, Despicable Me, Inception and Skyfall are worth seeing)

just let me keep almost famous on the list thats all I ask!

Which is the way it should be. .

There's definitely 100-110 films from the last 13 years worth seeing before you die. That still leaves about 900 slots for 1895-2000

I'm stuck at about 45-50. Personally.

I'll do a deal with you. TTSS for Almost Famous. (But in all seriousness. consider it.) 

[Sam]

Just found this thread. Questions: Can I still submit my list now? And are foreign films allowed?

Foreign Films are allowed, and the guy who is running this seems to have disappeared, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind someone submitting some more fims given that we have already eliminated quite a few.
