RascarCapat Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This list keeps getting better and better. Go on BoT. Chinatown is my favorite Noir film (or neo-noir whatever). BR is an absolute stunner. I'm actually glad Avatar got recognized for once, even thought the cameronies cheated. Richard Linklater is the first director to make it with 2 movies wtf ? I like his style but you guys are getting soft. I predict no love for Godfather 3 as usual... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, Critically Acclaimed Panda said: In honor of @Telemachos Number 87 Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Horizon Picture, Directed by David Lean (48 Points, 13 Votes) "No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing." Number 1 Placements: 1 Top 25 Placements: 4 Previous Rankings: 2016 (21, -66), 2014 (47, -40), 2013 (31, -56), 2012 (66, -21) Awards Count: Won 7 Oscars, Including Best Picture Tomatometer: 98% (9.1 Avg Rating) Box Office: 44.8m (507.3m Adjusted) Synopsis: The story of T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks. Critic Opinion: "The personal story of T.E. Lawrence and his real-life military achievement in Arabia during World War I, is told in a series of scenes that become as complex on the screen as was the personality of the man responsible for them. As a young British lieutenant, Lawrence was sent to Arabia by British Intelligence and there worked a military miracle. Lawrence is superbly represented on the screen by Peter O'Toole." - Kate Cameron User Opinions: "LOA's script is a masterpiece of subtlety and economy. There's not a wasted word." - @Telemachos "Worth seeing on the big screen in 70mm if you ever get a chance. It's truly stunning." - @Telemachos "I remember jizzing all over that screen like Ethan Hunt when he saw La La Land." - @Telemachos Commentary: Coming in quite a bit lower than we're used to seeing it (partially because no Tele votes to inflate this film up the list like years in the past), is one of the quintessential epics. Lawrence of Arabia shows an auteur at his absolute prime, with talents such as Alec Guinnes and Peter O'Toole to raise the film to an even higher level. Almost any true epic you've seen, that isn't a David Lean epic, is in someway trying to emulate what David Lean has done here and in a few of his other films. Lawrence had a few passion votes and found itself on 21% of the lists that were submitted. Decade Count: 10s (4), '00s (3), 80s (2), 70s (2), 90s (1), 60s (1), 50s (1) Director Count: Paul Thomas Anderson (1), James Cameron (1), Alfonso Cuaron (1), Stanley Donen (1) Terry Gillam (1), Rian Johnson (1), Terry Jones (1), Gene Kelly (1), David Lean (1), Ang Lee (1), Richard Linklater (1), Katia Lund (1), Fernando Meirelles (1), Roman Polanski (1), Gus van Sant (1), Ridley Scott (1), Isao Takahata (1) Franchise Count: Blade Runner (1), James Cameron (1), Monty Python (1), Star Wars (1), Studio Ghibli (1) Genre Count: Drama (4), Sci-Fi (4), Epic (4), Crime/Noir (3), Adventure (3), Fantasy (2), Action (2), Thriller (2), Period Piece (2), Animation (1), Comedy (1), Musical (1), Tragedy (1), War (1), Western (1), Bio-Pic (1) It dropped 66 places.... This is a traveshamockery and I partially blame @Telemachos for probably not sending in a list - and anyone else who didn't place it #1 or at least top 10.

Glad that Chinatown made it but that it's in the same position it was in 2016. Tele doesn't submit a list and Lawrence of Arabia drops 66 spots, a self-proclaimed "I have no taste for aesthetics" poster submits a box-office chart and is the sole reason Avatar is in the top 100, and Ethan and Before Sunset... Ethan I'm coming for you. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping Texas chainsaw and maybe Nightmare on Elm Street make an appearance. Not holding my breath though. Well...I have Nightmare 1 & 3 on my list...so there is hope.
