The Prestige is interesting for me, as I only voted for one Nolan film that I can recall, and I had placed Memento in my top 10 during the 2000s poll. For some reason when wrestling with this ballot, The Prestige felt like his better film overall. Maybe it's age, maybe it's I need to see if Memento is as mesmerizing to me as it was 10 years ago, or The Prestige just represents for me peak-Nolan now as it definitely showcases the ambition that he has as a filmmaker with a lot more control than say Inception (which I do really like) or Interstellar which was going for "all-time masterpiece" and misses the mark in so many ways. 

He's a filmmaker that is always fascinating to me, but I am not sure that he is capable of achieving truly great, considering his recent work. Then again, maybe Dunkirk will prove me completely wrong.

I can't wait to hear from 20 people that didn't vote for either Ingmar Bergman's best movie OR Who Framed Roger Rabbit about how my ballot is bad.

I feel the same way about CE3K.

I did kinda drop the ball with Le Samourai, though.

Watching this in theaters was basically the beginning of my going "Wait, there are movies out there like this that are bizarre and don't conform to typical narrative structures and are werid and wonderful and so much better than whatever bullshit blockbuster or Oscar bait films are nominated?!  Why didn't anyone tell me?!"  I love this movie.  I love quoting this movie. I've said the phrase "And I have a lot of of pudding..." many many times.

181) MODERN TIMES (1936)

IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (100%) : METACRITIC (96)

I'll probably never be able to give this film the credit it deserves because I was made to watch it by my horribly irritating communist first-year Sociology professor who would lecture us about how we were all greedy capitalists and only she knew the truth, meanwhile she sure wasn't paying any of that teacher salary back.  One time she told us how all workers are exploited by big businesses and how when she ate at a fast food place (Yes, she still ate there despite decrying them) she refused to bus her own tray because she wouldn't let the company exploit her.  When someone said aren't you just making someone else get exploited for your own convenience, she said that they didn't understand.  She made us watch 'Modern Times' than referred everything in the course back to it.  At the end of the year I knew nothing about sociology, but I did learn how to blame everything on capitalism for a good grade.  I've always had an unending hate for this film ever since.

I like this one, but every time I think about going back and watching this, I remember that last act with the snow and stuff and don't feel like it.  I should really give it another go sometimes

Still a fun movie.  I can't honestly call it a good film, but I'll always remember watching it with my best friend and just being almost unable to breathe we were laughing so hard.  At one point, I had a cassette tape with the entire movie recorded onto it and would listen to it while I did homework and ultimately get distracted laughing all over again.

I actually just saw this for the first time in 2015.  Good flick!  I had no idea Homer sculpting his mashed potatoes into a circus tent was an homage to this film until then.

Clerks is a weird movie for me to judge mainly because it hit during college as I was working in a convenience store...

20 years ago - it probably would have been in my Top 10

I think it settled around 50th on my ballot... that probably is right but I realize now that it is difficult for me to separate my real life from the movie

Which is why my ballot looks the way it does. 

I will always love Godzilla vs. Megalon, but no way is it one of the greatest movies of all time.  I wanted to be at least a little bit objective about what I put on my ballot.

Clerks is funny as fuck.  This will never fail to be hilarious.

Wait, so you're saying if you fought Megalon in your real life, it'd be #50 on your ballot?

No, I'm saying that I cheerfully acknowledge that some of the movies I absolutely love are probably not very good candidates for the best movies made by any human being ever.

I like what I said better.

So do I since it would mean that I have like Ultraman powers or something which would be totally fucking awesome, but that's not what I really said.
