Recommended Posts

Happy to see that Seven Samurai won. I watch it every year on or right around my birthday.

Spoiler

Kikuchiyo: [in a drunken stupor] Oh, it's you, is it? I remember your head. You had the nerve to ask me if I was a samurai. Didn't you? I never forget a face. Look, though I'm dressed in rags, I'm a real samurai, all right. Here. I'm going to show you something. Just look at this.

[He clumsily fumbles around in his robe, and presents a scroll from inside it]

Kikuchiyo: There, just you look at this. It's been handed down in my family for generations and generations. And you asked me if I were a samurai! Look at this, just look at this! That's me right there.

[Unrolls it and points randomly to a part of the scroll]

Kambei Shimada: Kikuchiyo, born on 17 February, the Second Year of Tensho.

[He suddenly bursts out laughing]

Kikuchiyo: What's so funny?

Kambei Shimada: You don't look thirteen!

Everyone is sleeping on the awesomeness of the fact that Marsellus Wallace's representation on that Pulp Fiction poster is wearing a ball gag.

Yeah, put that on your wall and explain that shit to your kid.

I keep looking at the posters that Rippa posted to see if there's any I want to try and see if I can buy prints of for my work office. I looked at that Pulp Fiction one and went "that's cool." I looked again and went "nope."

Empire is ranked higher than Citizen Kane. 

There is a lot of table flipping going on at the Coale house right now.

Well, since im not totally surprised, no need for get upset. It also helps that a classic film won in the end, since i wouldnt have expected Kane to win.

No Trainspotting? THE VENOM RETURNS!

Aww...I gave it 8 points. Not enough, I guess.

Other movies from my ballot that I'm surprised didn't make a Top 360-ish:
- Cinema Paradiso (!!!)
- Office Space
- Predator
- Wayne's World

I'm kind of disappointed I was probably the only person who voted for Four Weddings & A Funeral

I think I was the only person to vote for The Street Fighter, Super Infra-Man and Kentucky Fried Movie

The lack of love for Shaft is shameful!

I probably mentioned this like ten times already, but (1) 98 out of my 100 movies were from 2000 or later, and (2) my list is based on my personal taste alone.

That said, I was a bit surprised that Yi Yi: A One and a Two, House of Sand and Fog and Caché didn't make it (no Haneke at all, actually).

The Arbor is one in particular that I think would have been on if more people had seen it.  Please watch it before we start the documentary poll, thx.

Ultimately, I found 'Shaft's Big Score' to be the better movie, but I still didn't vote for it either.

Not a Haneke fan tho I dig his aesthetic. His best is probably White Ribbon.  I would have voted for it or maybe Benny's Video before Cache.

Yeah - SKOS had it at HM so that explains why it didn't make it

That's kind of fun because 98 out of my 100 movies were from before 2000. (92 out of 100 were from before 1990. 81 out of 100 were from before 1980. 75 out of 100 were from before 1970.)

What were your two from the 21st century?  (Sorry if you posted your list already)

My movies that didn't make it, ones in bold I'm particularly surprised about. I picked films based on how they affected my life since watching them, rather than their critical reception.

Spoiler
  • Papillon #9 - Loved the book, McQueen will always be one of my favourites. Beautiful cinematography, sound, acting. 
  • Hook #17 - I was 4 when this came out, they got me at the right age. Tendency towards sentimentality in my list I now realise. Robin Williams was a God of my youth.
  • From Dusk Till Dawn #18 - Stylish as fuck, gorey in the best ways, always want to watch it. Salma Hayek. 
  • Misery #20 - Kathy Bates rules the fucking world in this movie, one of my favourite performances ever. Tight script.
  • Star Trek: First Contact #23 - Trekkie, loved TNG and anything Borg, should've been the swan song for TNG cast.
  • Home Alone #26 - Again the right age for this. Marv's scream is still the funniest thing of all time.
  • Butterfly Effect #28 - Eric Stoltz creeps me out.
  • Mary Poppins #29 - When I was a kid I wore out the VHS playing, rewinding and playing this again. Uncle Albert scene always cheers me up.
  • Death Wish #31 - Seriously?! Charles motherfucking Bronson. Architect turned vigilante. Boss suits.
  • Evolution #38 - "There is always time for lubricant!" Orlando Jones owned this movie.
  • Monster #41 - Charlize Theron equals Kathy Bates here as one of my favourite performances of all time. 
  • Bullitt #42 - Steve McQueen, car chase.
  • Air Force One #43 - "Get off my plane!" 
  • The Goonies #45 - One Eyed Willy is ashamed of you.
  • The Getaway #46 - "Punch It Baby" Another McQueen movie, his chemistry with MacGraw is palpable, as it should be.
  • The Bank Job #52 - Feels a little high now, but a great British movie with Statham and the whole cast doing a great job.
  • Star Trek #54 - Feels epic
  • The Witches #55 - Angelica Huston as a scary witch who scared me as a child, but I think I still wanted to have sex with her and I've said too much.
  • Constantine #57 - Great premise, very stylish. Keanu and Weisz two of my favourites.
  • The Mummy #58 - I was 12, we went to the cinema as a whole family, great memory and a film I've watched countless times. Cast are brilliant together.
  • Arachnophobia #59 - One of the only movies I actually found scared me, when they were coming out of the sink etc. Great funny performances in this.
  • Hard Rain #60 - "I've been eating shit, breakfast lunch and dinner. Well now I'm changing the menu!" 
  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom #61 - Lowest of the 3 IJ movies for me, but still well worth being in the count. Very surprising.
  • Swordfish #62 - Hugh Jackman is cool in this, Travolta is cooler, Cheadle is even cooler. Halle Berry's boobs and the bomb at the beginning got many replays.
  • The Fugitive #63 - "I didn't kill my wife" "I don't care" So fucking good.
  • As Good As It Gets #64 - Great performances from everyone involved. Love Nicholson's character.
  • Stephen King's It #65 - "Beep beep Richie, beep beep!" Tim Curry is ashamed of you.
  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #69 - Fun movie I can't turn off when I'm flipping channels.
  • Little Shop of Horrors #70 - So enjoyable to watch, great songs. Still have a crush on Ellen Greene.
  • Jumanji #73 - I was 6 when this came out in the cinema, as previously mentioned Robin Williams = God.
  • Super 8 #74 - That Abrams guy knows his Sci Fi, feels like a Spielberg movie.
  • Independence Day #75 - Again perfect age for this, actually I don't have to justify this, it's fucking awesome.
  • Eastern Promises #76 - Viggo wrestles a man naked.
  • Taken #80 - Gets loads of replays and always will. I love how Liam Neeson is always in a rush everywhere he goes. Usually to throat chop some fool.
  • The Last Boy Scout #82 - Great script, great main characters. Thought it was popular on this board.
  • Idiocracy #83 - Make America Great Again.
  • Cellular #84 - How Chris Evans should be booked. Kim Basinger as damsel in distress.
  • Scary Movie #88 - Perfect age again, can quote it line for line.
  • Seraphim Falls #89 - Underrated, Brosnan vs Neeson.
  • Predator #90 - Seriously, how did this not rank?
  • Shoot 'Em Up #91 - Great action movie, love Owen, Belluci and Giamatti.
  • X-Men: Days of Future Past #92 - Having watched all the X-Men movies, this is the one that ties everything up. Love how they linked the two casts.
  • The Lost World: Jurassic Park #93 - "Don't go into the long grass!" - Goes into the long grass, gets eaten.
  • Jingle All the Way #94 - The most quotable movie in my list?
  • Enemy at the Gates #95 - Ron Perlman dies even though he jumped first. Fiennes shows Law where Ed Harris is hiding, great movie.
  • Killing Zoe #96 - Eric Stoltz creeps me out.
  • Back to the Future Part III #97 - Weakest of the trilogy, but still a great movie.
  • The Legend of Drunken Master #98 - Very surprised this didn't make it, had to restrict myself to just one kung fu movie.
  • Cool Hand Luke #99 - Paul Newman being...Cool.
  • Mars Attacks! #100 - Ridiculous
  • Django Unchained #101 - One of Tarantino's best.

 

Also:

Birdman - I had not seen before sending my list, would most likely make the list easily now. And I want to watch it again already.

and two omissions I forgot about:

The Adventures of Tintin - Saw this at the cinema in 3D and it was one of the only films I thought benefitted from that experience. Can't wait for the next one. Big Tintin fan.

What We Do In The Shadows - One of my favourite comedies, only came out in 2014, but must've watched it over a dozen times already. So mad at myself for forgetting.

Thanks Rippa for organising and putting all the work in. And most importantly for your poster choices.
