I know that our list will be amazing and hey, do u guys know this movie?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1255953/
The director is Canadian and the movie is mind blowing  |
Yes! Good shit. Saw it once a couple years back. Probably won't make my personal list but it is a stellar film and I won't have a problem with seeing it on our list.
There's reasonably gonna be a couple thousand movies submitted if I had to guess, with a lot of ties. This is gonna be quite the task Hayden. Good luck. I look forward to the outcome. Honestly I'm probably gonna do this off the top of my head as opposed to breaking it down from my decades lists which has certainly changed. Generally I own all my favorite movies so a scan of my collection would probably give me a pretty accurate list.
Mercury I'm glad you're enjoying Powell and Pressburger. Although Citizen Kane is perfect and all I'd probably say that duo was the best director(s) of the 40s.

Yeah....  I'll do my best. I'll probably do most of it on the final day

Not really  If you do, I'd just have to count the first on the list as #1 and work my way down. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to really tally it up. I'm having difficulty ranking my list as well... no worries. I don't think anyone's submissions will be perfect to how they want them.

What if instead of counting number 1 as 100 points and 2 as 99 points and so on, every entry on an unranked list of 100 movies would be worth 50 points? Would that be too weird?
I'll have a ranked list but like IDK I feel like that might work?

Well... mathematically, that almost works. A list of 100 adds 5050 point to the tally, whereas that would add 5000 (not going to be giving 0.5 points ). I'm torn on the idea though... we've never done that before, and it'd throw things a bit out of wack. I was also hoping on bringing back the entire 'this many number ones, this many number twos, etc... for this list.
I think I'm going to insist on ranked lists... because (in theory) if everybody did that, every single film would be tied for #1
Not a bad suggestion, but I just don't think it's the best idea.

In anticipation for this poll, and not just this poll but for life in general, I have gotten a hold of MANY of the the movies I most wanted to get into - Have my hands on the complete "Shoah", also "The Act of Killing", all set up to re-watch movies which are universally adored but haven't 100% clicked with me yet - such as Sunrise (already rewatched 2 nights ago and it rose in my estimation already loved it but more now), Blue Velvet, Exotica, 8 1/2, Nosferatu, etc etc.
Also rewatched "Singin' In The Rain" last night to see if it should be included toward the end of my top 100. Well, I adored it so so so much it vaulted to top 30 or 40 territory (what a godsend of a movie). I will be busy watching and rewatching sooooo many movies to watch asap (maybe too many, goodbye social life) that I imagine my list will be changing over the next month or 2 at an alarming rate.
Also, as a massive NBA fan I have to work out some playoff viewing... this is going to be tough.
----------
As far as films I hope people consider for their list, or consider watching or rewatching before their final lists, the number one answer is please PLEASE watch The Apu Trilogy. For my money its the greatest cinematic achievement i've ever seen. Also it culminates with a film so good its almost miraculous in "The World of Apu". I adore these movies more than any series ever - more than The Before Trilogy, or three colors, or The Dark Knight Trilogy, or The Decalogue, or anything honestly.
Also, "Alien" ... Watch "Alien" already, sheesh!... you know who you are

I've never seen Shoah, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend watching it back to back with anything, let alone The Act of Killing (which is phenomenal).
It's only come to my attention recently that I've never seen Aparajito Even though it's the middle of the trilogy. Woops. I might end up watching all of them in a weekend marathon or something.
And yeah... I wonder who that last part is about...
My embarrassing 'to watch' list before the deadline: The Matrix, Los Olvidados, Alien, Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, Unforgiven, Amores Perros, High and Low, Lawrence of Arabia, Akira, Double Indemnity, Z, Nashville and The Wild Bunch... I'll probably get to like, 5 of those

Yeah, Shoah + The Act of Killing = a bit of light viewing enjoyment.
As for the Apu Trilogy, I may be in the minority here but I think Satyajit Ray gets better and better and as great as he was in his debut Pather Panchali, I feel he becomes absolutely impeccable as the series goes on. The series gets better and more beautiful as it progresses. Lather Panchali is one of the greatest (okay let's face it, the greatest) directorial debuts ever, so it's amazing he could top it twice.
And if you were to listen to me (lol...not recommended as a general rule) on those need to watch movies I'd pick 1. Alien 2. Nashville 3. Lawrence of Arabia 4. Unforgiven 5. Saving Private Ryan. The first 2 I think are brilliant. The reason Saving Private Ryan is lower is because I have the idea you're not a big Spielberg fan? I don't remember. The first 2 work as brilliant and unique and essential unpretentious "artsy" movies you'd dig methinks.
