I would of had it in the 30's probably so maybe this placing is where it would have been no matter what. At this point on the list every point matters, your vote would have bumped it up about 10 spots. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 93 The Hidden Fortress Points: 34 Number of lists: 5 Year: 1958 Director: Akira Kurosawa First place votes: 0 Top 5 (2-5): 0 Top 10 (6-10): 0 Average position: 49.6 Finally something I have seen and was even on my list. The first but not last entry from Kurosawa is an exciting adventure with quite a bit of comedy. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it yet. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) 92 Persona Points: 35 Number of lists: 3 Year: 1966 Director: Ingmar Bergman First place votes: 0 Top 5 (2-5): 0 Top 10 (6-10): 1 Average position: 30.3 Going from one famed foreign director to another we get our first Bergman movie. The description certainly sounds interesting, I really should watch this some time. Edited July 25, 2019 by Tower 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Persona is available on Kanopy and is a great film by Ingmar Bergman. It'll try your patience by the end, though. But it's a fascinating character drama about two women, one of which doesn't speak any lines for a long duration of the film. Edited July 25, 2019 by SLAM!

Tower Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) 91 Freaks Points: 35.5 Number of lists: 4 Year: 1932 Director: Tod Browning First place votes: 0 Top 5 (2-5): 0 Top 10 (6-10): 0 Average position: 35.8 A film so shocking that the original version was banned and is no longer available, and all we have left is the censored version with 26 of its 90 minute runtime removed.

Tower Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 90 Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans Points: 36 Number of lists: 3 Year: 1927 Director: F.W. Mornau First place votes: 0 Top 5 (2-5): 0 Top 10 (6-10): 1 Average position: 37.3 The film that sort of co-won the first Oscars but became unrecognised after the fact, and was one of the first to use Sound on film technology. This film has stood the test of time better than its co-winner, Wings didn't even get a single vote. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also better remembered in the Sight & Sound poll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least 3 people did, and that was enough for this list. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great Elephant Man, and the what the fuck just happened Lost Highway. Maybe those who have seen this one could tell me which one this is more like. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I definitely had heard many times is Cheek to Cheek, which originates with this film and gives it lasting legacy beyond apparently being a good film in its own right. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 86 Man With A Movie Camera Points: 36 Number of lists: 4 Year: 1929 Director: Dziga Vertov First place votes: 0 Top 5 (2-5): 0 Top 10 (6-10): 0 Average position: 42.5 The second Soviet film on this list brings this documentary that Sergei Eisenstein, the director of the the first one called "pointless camera hooliganism". Vertov himself wanted to abolish all non documentaries, and while he completely failed in that goal, he has at least become well recognised in his own genre. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
