Best of THE TOP 360 GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME~!

[J.T.]

My faith in a civilized and cultured humanity is restored.  Seven mother fucking Samurai is #1. I'm impressed.

[(BP)]

I did not see that coming. I could've sworn Seven Samurai had already placed. Thanks for doing this @RIPPA. 

[RIPPA]

BTW - Seven Samurai was the movie that caused issues earlier on and why we are a movie short of my original count because some of you fuckers called it "The Seven Samurai" and like a fucking lemon I put that in my sheet and thus had two separate listings.

[Matt D]

I, like the rest of you, quite enjoy our token samurai movie. What an awesomely deranged list.

[jaedmc]

FUCK YES. Great surprise for me.

AND WITHOUT A #1 VOTE.

[RIPPA]

To be fair - the same thing happened in the 90s redo. Pulp Fiction defended its crown without a #1 vote

[S.K.o.S.]

Well I guess that explains why 13 Assassins didn't make the list.

Are you sure about that high vote on Seven Samurai being New Blood at #4? I think I had it at #3 on my list.

This sound crazy at first until you discover how much you really liked Audition..

You are correct - in my brain 97 comes after 98 apparently

[(BP)]

Okay, so films I voted for that I was surprised didn't make it (but I'm not, like, Mad Online™ about)...

McCabe and Mrs. Miller

Amarcord

Blowout

The Last Emperor

The General

On the Town 

The Long Goodbye

Brokeback Mountain 

Memories of Murder

Blow-Up 

A Hard Day's Night

Santa Sangre 

[J.T.]

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.

[(BP)]

Speaking of posters, this thread has also made me commit to getting a tattoo sleeve of minimalist movie poster art, so thanks(?)

If I were into ink, I'd totally get one of the coin flip. eye, shotgun flash suppressor dealie from the No Country For Old Men poster..

I enjoyed The Good The Bad and The Ugly but I don't think it's in my Top 15 or maybe even 20 Westerns.

Personally I'd go for Duck, You Sucker! over all three Eastwoods but that's just me. Though I still haven't seen Once Upon A Time (grrrr) and would completely forget to put Duck on my list. 

You heathens couldn't put Night of the Living Dead in the top 100 (I think) which pisses me off... but you put Seven Samurai first. My faith in the board is restored and all March venom is released into the aether. 

Except for not liking the third act of Goodfellas! Jeez...

[Curt McGirt]

Yes, that's already well established (sorry) but has nothing to do with it. 

Not liking the third act of Goodfellas is basically not liking Goodfellas. The entire damn point of the movie is not that these assholes get away over and over again with their shit, it's that they don't. Would I watch a whole movie of them drinking, shooting people and eating food? Probably, but it wouldn't be as good. 

[RIPPA]

The Master List post has been fully updated.

I will probably created a page for it that I put up on the regular site to make it easier to search but that won't be today

Had The General as an HM.

I guess the film that I voted for that I'm the most disappointed it didn't show up would be Cat People.

That is a really great and varied list! Putting a Franco film in as even an honorable mention... the balls on this guy.

[Execproducer]

It is pretty easily the best Franco film.

[Cyanide]

My no-shows:

97)    The Aviator (Scorsese, 2004)
98)    Catch Me If You Can (Spielberg, 2002)
100)    Locke (Knight, 2013)

Get that a lot of the more recent stuff wouldn't get much love, but I think The Hunt is eventually going to be considered a classic foreign film on the back of a truly visceral and heartbreaking Mads Mikkelsen performance.  Was hoping it would sneak in here.

Shocked Battle of Algiers didn't show up at all.  From the same period, I think both High and Low and The Bad Sleep Well are underrated gems in Kurosawa's body of work.

[J.T.]

I also had the Battle of Algiers on my ballot.
