We should do a Top 500!! Looking at my draft ballot, it's interesting four years on where my tastes have changed or remained the same with new films released since March 2017. I looked at my old ballot and oof at some of my choices, rankings and omissions. Touch wood we'll get a V2 ran by @RIPPA made up of people who took part first time with those who didn't. As he said: I just want to repeat myself here - for those who think they aren't "qualified" to submit a ballot. You haven't seen the ballots I have gotten so far. Y'all have seen at least 100 movies you think are very good or beyond. Send me a list. The more I get - the better this project is Edited November 23, 2021 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I did mock Top Ten... that morphed into a top 25 and hour later I had 75 movies. My top 10 is way different (save for my #1). If we were given even 2 months to get a list together I'm sure that first 75 would be different James Edited November 28, 2021 by J.H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have is an incredible movie to look forward to for whenever ya damn well please! If you haven't seen 'Mouchette' I can easily recommend that one as well. Great list! I find 'la chinoise' an interesting choice. I love Jean-Luc, but that one did not connect with me. That said, I flip-flop on his movies all the time.

Octopus Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 La Chinoise is interesting because it fits within his seven year run of 60’s bangers yet it doesn’t have the same youthful haziness of the previous ones. Right before going full on wild with Weekend (another favorite) he stays young but goes more militant. Beginning to shy away from the daring cinephile he is at heart to the radical Political theorists to come in another year. Whether intended or not (you can never fully tell with Godard, but he is often self deprecating beneath the ego) he really parodies himself. Both treating the ideology both seriously and dangerous. I was on the edge of my seat for the train at discussion and how radical the kids become. I just love how Godard regularly challenges Form. It’s tough to place him of lists because all the self imposed qualifications for what is great he manages to create outside that and still manages to feel excellent as an enjoyable piece of art. Always either ahead of what people are doing (use of jump cuts, erratic text, cuts in sound editing, treating the film as a film instead of a story to be lost in, and most recently changing concepts of visual understandings on how to interpret 3-D) and then a decade or two later we see what he did but done in a more fluidly new-uniform modern way. Im pumped to watch more Bresson. I try to heavily space out filmmakers when I can. I made the mistake of going through filmographies when I was a young hungry movie nerd. I wish I left more on the table. Did/ do you have a list, @HarryArchieGus? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
