TalismanRing Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Having a really hard time with this. I've narrowed it down from like 350 to 122, but now I can't figure out anymore films I want to cut out, lol. It's like Sophie's Choice. I could easily make a top 50-100 list for each decade. I left so many great films off the list. I'm surprised I wound up with so few from the 70s when it's among the strongest for film and not many foreign films even though I've seen quite a lot. When pruning I just kept asking myself - would I want to watch this or that movie right now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Already posted my list, but just want to thank lisa for her numbering system. I've been trying desperately to make a list for years (ever since I saw forum lists) but never could get a proper list together because: 1) Couldn't decide what to put above what 2) Time passing so would see more films and would also forget which films I liked, to what extent, and why It seemed like you had to keep rewatching, something I don't do much, to get a real "list". Maybe it was OCD, maybe it was perfectionism, either way, I couldn't sit long enough to make a list, and have many attempted but failed variations on various spreadsheets. So, this whole, fuck the system way of doing it, pleases me. Whatever I had in me trying to figure out a way to realize a proper list, is gone and I am comfortable with the huge swathe of films breaking of ranks version. Yeah, so thanks for saving me time in the future with the futile attempt at ranking with the rigid mindset destroyed. Think my top 100 has already changed from submission, but I'll leave a new list for next year. I don't think I have 100 films that meet the arbitrary cut-off mark. My new guidelines are ranks for the top 25, 26-50 or even up to 100. And then 100+, 200+ etc. but they can have more or less than the 100 films band. No one probably cares but it feels really good to destroy idiotic perceptions you don't know why you had. it's also good for me, because alphabetical groupings makes adding film entries to spreadsheet much easier.

MovieMan89 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I wasn't sure whether to make this more of a 'films that are my favorite to watch' or 'films I actually think are the best made' list. So I did it as kind of a hybrid of both, with slightly more emphasis on the latter. And there's still plenty of so called "classics" I have yet to see. Top 10 honorable mentions first: Dial M for Murder, Ed Wood, Christmas Vacation, Wreck it Ralph, March of the Penguins, Scream, American History X, Rope, Rebecca, My Fair Lady *Dishonorable mention: Citizen Kane (that movie can keep all of its praise, I ain't having it) Top 100: 1.

Wrath Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Ok, going to use Snoopy's list as my starting point and go from there. This is incredibly daunting. A couple points. First, I'm only listing movies I've actually seen, so some movies that by acclamation are amazing aren't listed if I haven't actually seen them (Rear Window, Casablanca, and Chinatown are 3). Second, the list is idiosyncratic (as all of them are, I suppose), and is based on a mix of how I enjoyed them, how good I thought they actually were, and how groundbreaking I thought they were following whatever ratio I thought was appropriate for each movie. I enjoyed Matrix, and it was well done, but really its on the list for how groundbreaking it is. And I doubt many other folks will include Bowfinger and Big Trouble in Little China, but I loved them both and had to include them (in the 51-100 part). And, also being idiosyncratic, there are some movies that I just didn't like for whatever reason. Apocalypse Now, for example. I find it boring, overrated, pretentious and way, way too long while plenty of other folks think its amazing. 2001 is in the same boat. That's what makes this stuff fun. The two movies that hurt the most to exclude were Blues Brothers and Willy Wonka. 1. Usual Suspects 2&3. Blade Runner The Godfather 4-10 Shawshank Redemption 12 Angry Men Lost in Translation Blazing Saddles Rope Dr Strangelove Citizen Kane 11-20 Airplane! Seven Samurai To Kill a Mockingbird Lawrence of Arabia Pulp Fiction Finding Nemo Godfather Part 2 Saving Private Ryan Schindler's List Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back 21-50 A Clockwork Orange Boyhood Fight Club Memento Dark Knight Rises Avengers Broadcast News Taxi Driver Duck Soup Sound of Music Jaws Fargo Station Agent Road Warrior American Beauty Wizard of Oz Raiders of the Lost Ark Grand Budapest Hotel Monte Python's Holy Grail Its a Wonderful Life LotR: Fellowship of the Ring Singing in the Rain Animal House Ben Hurr The Bicycle Thief Goodfellas Gone with the Wind North by Northwest Trainspotting The Breakfast Club 51-100 Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (the documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now) Bull Durham LEGO movie Alien Aliens Star Wars: A New Hope Star Trek: Wrath of Khan The Warriors Big Trouble in Little China Social Network Groundhog Day Before Sunrise Rocky The Artist Titanic Mean Girls L.A. Confidential Princess Bride Bowfinger Jurassic Park Breakfast Club Quiz Show The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Toy Story Avatar Matrix LotR: Return of the King Silence of the Lambs The Thing Raging Bull Goldfinger LA Confidential Primal Fear Sixth Sense The Terminator Ghostbusters Guardians of the Galaxy Superman Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Psycho Catch Me If You Can Robocop (original) Rushmore LA Story Spiderman Se7en Almost Famous A League of Their Own Dr No The Incredibles Edited September 1, 2014 by Wrath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 voting is closed! looks like there is 35 lists or so. so far in my tabulation i have just hit 1000 unique films, with 10 points required to enter top 100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Doh! Just realized I had a pair of double entries: I listed LA confidential twice in the 51-100, and I listed Breakfast Club both among 21-50 and 51-100. I meant for it to be just in the 21-50 range. Nice! This means I get to include both The Blues Brothers and Willy Wonka in my 51-100 list after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 i haven't finished tabulating Well assuming I gave it 7 points and I saw it in at least 3 other lists it should have made the top 100 if 10 points were needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
