Avatree Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 #62 34.66% Director: Kathryn Bigelow Written by: Mark Boal We've already had Bigelow's recent Zero Dark Thirty, but her Best Picture-winning The Hurt Locker scores at #62. Depressingly, this - number 62 - is the highest-ranked film directed by a woman. Hollywood is a fucking travesty. RT Consensus: "A well-acted, intensely shot, action filled war epic, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is thus far the best of the recent dramatizations of the Iraq War. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hurt Locker is really good, but just missed making my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 #61 34.81% Director: Park Chan-wook Written by: Park Chan-wook, Im Joon-hyeong, Hwan Jo-yoon More from Korea, and an addition to the foreign films on the list, comes the thriller Oldboy. RT Consensus: "Violent and definitely not for the squeamish, Park Chan-wook's visceral Oldboy is a strange, powerful tale of revenge."

Ethan Hunt Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 that comment is backwards. IM is good not great ( I have a strong distaste for Favreau's direction and Ironman is definitely his most bearable film) I love THL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I like Favreau's direction. probably part of the reason I didn't like Iron Man 3. was because of the lack of Favreau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I really hope it isn't. It is an alright film, but not good enough for this list. It's Gyllehaal's best movie, which is saying a lot considering almost all his movies are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 #60 35.04% Director: Edgar Wright Written by: Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright The Wright-Pegg-Frost mark on our top 100 is the modern classic zom-rom-com, Shaun of the Dead. RT Consensus: "Cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 #59 35.37% Director: Steven Spielberg Written by: Steven Spielberg Another Spielberg film to make it on to the list is A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which also brings a Stanley Kubrick project to the 100. RT: "A curious, not always seamless, amalgamation of Kubrick's chilly bleakness and Spielberg's warm-hearted optimism, A.I. is, in a word, fascinating." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 EW The Hurt Locker has no place in the top 100. What do the percentages mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Really glad A.I. made it in. I watched it recently for the first time in about a decade and it was a revelation - arguably Spielberg's darkest, and definitely his most thoughtful and most ambitious movie.

Avatree Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 EW The Hurt Locker has no place in the top 100. What do the percentages mean? % numbers are how close the films are to being #1. So if a film has 35% them it got 35% of the points that #1 got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
