Yeah that's one of my main primary resources for my project. Haven't read it yet though.

Should probably get on that...

I've seen the ones in bold
 
Y'know, one day I'd like to sit down with someone who really knows what they're talking about and watch North By Northwest. I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Also, I hope that's the highest ranking Star Wars film. It's easily the best (and my favourite) and it'd be a pity if it was pipped by one of the others.
 
Ah Meatwad, don't worry buddy, you have something that can't be learned in any AP class, a great sense of humour.
 
"Somebody like you can really make things all right for me."

95) Requiem for a Dream (Darren Aronofsky, 2000)

"And if there's a heaven and God I hope there is, I know he's sitting up there, drunk as a f*cking monkey and smoking sh*t. Because he left his pains down here."

94) Platoon (Oliver Stone, 1986)

"I hate LA. All they do is snort coke and talk."

93) Short Cuts (Robert Altman, 1993)

"Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?"

92) The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming, 1939)

"Man is born crying. When he has cried enough, he dies."

91) Ran (Akira Kurosawa, 1985)

"You're not hopeless."

90) Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola, 2003)

"Come with me if you want to live."

89) Terminator 2 (James Cameron, 1991)

"When the sunshine don't work, the good Lord bring the rain in."

88) Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1999)

"A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine."

87) Pan's Labyrinth (Guillermo Del Toro, 2006)

"There is no right, there is no wrong, there's only popular opinion."

86) 12 Monkeys (Terry Gilliam, 1995)

"He said a few things that lead me to believe that the car was his.
Such as?
'That's my car, motherf*cker'"

85) Wonder Boys (Curtis Hanson, 2000)

"I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other."

84) Breakfast at Tiffany's (Blake Edwards, 1961)

"Look I probably should have told you this before but you see... well... insanity runs in my family... It practically gallops."

83) Arsenic and Old Lace (Frank Capra, 1944)

"A woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man."

82) O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2000)

"You know what my nightmare is? That I'll stay in Amal. That I'll never move from here. I'll get kids, a car, a house... all of that. Then my husband will leave for someone younger and I'll be stuck with kids that just scream and nag. It's so f*cking meaningless."

81) Show Me Love (Lukas Moodysson, 1998)
 
"All of those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain."

3) Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982)
 
"My...precious..."

5) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Peter Jackson, 2001, 2002, 2003)

And, before anyone starts asking, there were one or two stray votes for the individual movie over the trilogy, but I went executive decision and called it a trilogy vote.

It was like (Not exact numbers, just an example)

Person 1: 10 pts for LOTR
Person 2: 14 pts for LOTR
Person 3: 20 pts for LOTR
Person 4: 2 pts for Two Towers
Person 5: 2 pts for Fellowship
Person 6: 20 pts for LOTR
 
Yeah, it probably needed more dwarfs and kung-fu for you to like it. But yeah, I agree, in the context of cinema as a whole, Clerks is pretty terrible, but there are still far worse films (it's far from the worst film Smith has ever made).
 
It marvelously balances the pretensions of the critics with those of some of its target audience. And if anybody wants to tell me I don't know anything about the contradictory emotions of love, I'll put my wife of 21 years and my daughter of 17 years on here to "correct" you. I won't tell you that what I say makes me right, so please don't tell me that "votes" make me wrong. These are opinions, not facts. I don't really want to get into this, and if you paid any attention to my 8,000+ posts, you'd find that I rarely say anything "bad" about any film, but you are not going to "correct" me the one time I decide to express a contrary opinion. I'm happy for all those who feel that Eternal Sunshine somehow relates to their personal lives. Holden has already explained his thoughts about it, and quite eloquently, but they just don't make me change mine in saying that it's a mess masquerading as significance. And the more Charlie Kaufman I see and rewatch, the more I think he's emotionally shallow and covers up for it by being overly-intellectual.
 
SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW down, buddy.


I didn't.

Right you are.

Correct as usual, King Friday.

You put correct in quotations as if I used the word at some point. I did nothing of the sort.

I'm actually quite befuddled by your post. Someone said "Call me crazy" and so I posted "Crazy" to say that I disagreed and then said why.

Then you said that the same picture could be used for you since you weren't a fan of ESotSM, so following the theme of my previous point, I started it off by saying "Crazy"

I really don't know what to say. It seems you completely misunderstood what I was going for and that I somehow said that you were factually incorrect and were out of touch with love and emotion. Which...I just don't get how you read it that way.

My post was lighthearted and was meant to say that I liked the two films. So...again...I'm just kind of confused.
 
Maybe I dont understand what you guys are saying and forgive me if that is the case but what I am trying to say is that the list I submitted to Bobby was only a top 20. Im pretty sure that is all Bobby wanted was a top 20.
 
Alright cool, I'll try to make the introductory thread inviting all the lists tonight and give plenty of time for that.
 
been and read your blog but didn't see many reviews of Japanese or Taiwanese films except one anime. I'd be interested to read about your thoughts on what you've been watching as there are a few of us interested in Asian cinema.
