odessasteps Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 All the Presidents Men and Being There so close is a nice cultural zeitgeist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Funny story I just learned about BEING THERE. The final crazy ass scene was improvised. Which sounds ridiculous if you've seen the movie, but apparently while they were filming in that location, Hal Ashby was like "Hey go get some plexiglass and let's do this. It'll be cool." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I feel immense shame for not voting for The African Queen. Also, another great poster, but that looks like Bogie and Hepburn from at least 10 years earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 178) Who Framed Roger Rabbit? My #83. Good film and gave it bonus points for influence. 171) Shaun of the Dead. The reasons I love this film like I do is: it's funny, takes place in one of my favourite genres, my favourite characters from the genre but we don’t say the Z word ; ) and pays tribute to one of the best horror franchises in George Romero's Dead series. --- The Prestige is my least favourite Christopher Nolan movie. Jingus' issue is the same as mine but he expressed it best. Hope he’s okay. Funny two Christopher Nolan films follow one another, The Prestige to Inception. Those plus Batman Begins makes three Nolan movies in the countdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 It's my turn to be disappointed in Rippa. It took one image search to find a cooler Texas Chainsaw poster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I watched In a Lonely place a few years back when I was on a Nicholas Ray kick and it's probably my favorite Bogey. He's just frightening to watch because you feel like anything could set him off. Also I just looked back at my list and discovered I'd left off my favorite noir film, which is a goddamn travesty.

Matt D Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I missed In a Lonely Place. I'm just glad I didn't put We're No Angels or something on my list instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Given what's been in the news lately, I felt the urge to rewatch All The President's Men. Unfortunately, my list had already been submitted when I got around to it. Absolutely would have ranked in the top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I can't appreciate IN A LONELY PLACE like everyone else because it's such a step down from the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 They are basically two different stories with the same characters and similar scenes. At least at the end of the film, you believe that Bogie's Dixon Steele is perfectly capable of murdering someone in a violent rage, unlike Hitchcock's Suspicion, which is a film I love, but a complete cop-out of an ending. In A Lonely Place is also one of Bogie's finest moments which is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
