I haven't seen as many films from before 2000 as I did after 2000 (according to LBD I've seen about 470 movies from the 2000s/2010s/2020s and only 120 movies before 2000) 

 

so naturally I would have a bigger share of 21st century films on my list. but I have some from before 2000 that will be in my top 50 for sure (most of the films I've seen from Bergman and a couple of Russian/French/Japanese ones with one or two from Hitchcock).

FYC

 

Spoiler

 

Once upon a time in America (1984) - Sergio Leone

 

Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) - Woody Allen

 

Howl's moving castle (2004) - Hayao Miyazaki

 

One, two, three (1961) - Billy Wilder

 

Cat on a hot tin roof (1958) - Richard Brooks

 

It happened in broad daylight (Es geschah am hellichten Tag) (1958) - Ladislao Vajda

 

Mystic River (2003) - Clint Eastwood

 

All about Eve (1950) - Joseph L. Mankiewicz

 

 

 

 

The first of them, Once upon a time in America, is incredible, an absolute masterpiece. Its runtime is 4 hours, but I could be watching 40 hours... IMHO, at the same level than 2 first Godfather and in my top 5 ever.
