requiem-for-a-dream-movie-poster-2000-10

 

Director: Darren Aronofsky

Written by: Darren Aronofsky & Hubert Selby, Jr.

 

The first film from Darren Aronofsky to appear on our list is 2000's Requiem for a Dream.

 

RT Consensus: "Though the movie may be too intense for some to stomach, the wonderful performances and bleak imagery are hard to forget."

DH2 was at #103. It still did very well.

 

Where do you think ROTK will end up? (roughly)

 

I really need to re-emphasise just how hard it was for any film to get on to the list. Some of the most popular films from Marvel, Nolan, Spielberg, WDAS, Star Wars, Middle-earth, Pixar, Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, etc.

 

If a film is on this list at all then the forum genuinely loves it. :)

 

I still think ROTK is gonna end up in the top 3 honestly. 

 

great I have a feeling I'm not going to like this list very well..

Director: Asghar Farhadi

Written by: Asghar Farhadi

 

One of few foreign language films on our list, A Separation comes in at #80.

 

RT Consensus: "Morally complex, suspenseful, and consistently involving, A Separation captures the messiness of a dissolving relationship with keen insight and searing intensity."

I really want to see this.. Blue is warmest. is one of the other few I hope? I already know The Way He Looks didn't make it. I'm not even sure anyone else on the forums have seen it.

Ethan, you might be waiting a while.

The-Act-of-Killing.jpg

 

Director: Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn & Anonymous

 

We begin the #70s with a documentary so provocative and dangerous that 49 crew members (including a co-director) refused to reveal their names, and are accredited under the name 'Anonymous'.

 

RT Consensus: "Raw, terrifying and painfully difficult to watch, The Act of Killing offers a haunting testament to the edifying, confrontational power of documentary cinema."

Predictions Please: 

 

Is The Act of Killing the only documentary on the list, or will there be more?

Ethan, you might be waiting a while.

Thus means one of two things... ( most likely means the one which will not please me but, y'all know I'm a stubborn butthole when it comes to this stuff * cough * TFIOS didn't make the top 25 of 2014 *cough * so.I'll hold on to hope)

I'm sick of people basing films saying they can't compare with their artsy boring film. Blockbusters, sci-fi, fantasy and so forth can be just as good. 

I agree in principle, but imo it's exceptionally rare to find a tentpole that's as good as good "artsy-fartsy boring films". For instance, of the blockbusters released in 2014, there are maybe 2 or 3 that have the intelligence of many of the best smaller films from the year.

Well I'm not saying I don't like those kind of movies, I mean my Number #1 movie of 2014 was nightcrawler, not exactly a blockbuster. and a movie doesn't necessarily have to be intelligent to be great. while I don't consider Avengers quite as simple as some superhero movies, its plot is not very complex. but there is such amazing chemistry  between the cast and it had so much going for it, that I loved it and would consider it one of my favorite movies of all time. and since some of my favorite genres are Superhero/Sci-fi and Fantasy. it makes sense I would list it high.
