DROPPED

Cult movies: the list

I hate lists like this and I see so many of them
It's just a list of well loved movies and well reviewed movies, there's no personality to it (which makes sense because it's a corporation)
But it's still pretty disgusting

>lack of non-Anglo films
>popular schlock like Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc.
>no even slightly out there movies

Also personally I hate that Blue Velvet is there and Mullholland Drive isn't

Only Chinatown, Sunset Blvd and The Godfather are deserving of places in the top 10.

Nice to see some variation in one of these lists for a change though.

this is fucking bad

Jaws is one of the greatest thrillers ever made. There's not always a lot of thematic weight or nuance or characterisation in Spielberg's work, but he understands spectacle better than anyone else. No one has made b-movies as well as he has.

Vertigo is not deserving it's 6th place?

3 of my top 10 in their top 10 but it's a fucking garbage list.

Like Myspace teenage aspiring director list tier. Absolutely terrible.

>18. Don't Look Now

kek, this shouldn't even be in the top 100 horror movies.

I was getting madder and madder as I scrolled and didn't see Bladerunner.

Also missing Stalker.

What's your list?

The Shining is a bad genre film. Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Jaws, The Exorcist, Psycho, Halloween... Are all far better Horror/Thrillers.

Great Cinematography does not equal great film.

Why are British people so bad at cinema?

you forgot Manhattan

I'll post my ten favourites in no order. Not doing a list.

Taxi Driver
Godfather
Chinatown
Lawrence of Arabia
E.T.
Trainspotting
Tootsie
Apocalypse Now
Annie Hall
The Graduate

I'm not doing a top 100.

>3. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial
>13. 2001: A Space Odyssey
>32. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
>43. Terminator II: Judgement Day
>48. Shoah
it feels like they simply grabbed the most recognizable films of the last 50 years

>The Shawshank Redemption not no.1

Not him, but this is what my list would have been

1. Citizen Kane
2. The Rules of the Game
3. Battleship Potemkin
4. Vertigo
5. 8½
6. The Passion of Joan of Arc
7. The Godfather I-II
8. 2001: A Space Odyssey
9. L'Avventura
10. Bicycle Thieves
11. Tokyo Story
12. Seven Samurai
13. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
14. The Searchers
15. City Lights
16. L'Atalante
17. Singin' in the Rain
18. The General
19. Greed
20. The Gold Rush

>Bicycle thieves / Ladri di biciclette
goddamit I'm italian and still havent watched this, I'm such a faggot

>no Hudson Hawk

Dropped like a hot rock.

>No The Dark Knight

Fuck The Times

Most glaring choices from the top 30 for me

>There will be blood
It's a superb film but second best of all time? Not a fucking chance
>The Shining
Number 5? No.
>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This film is a great examination of love and loss but it's flawed and painfully overrated: not close to top 10.
>Jungle Book
Not even the best animated Disney classic
>Metropolis
This film is a piece of shit. it serves as a curiosity piece. It hasn't aged well at all. If they're desperate to stick a silent but influential classic on there Sunrise, Potemkin or Cabinet would have been far more acceptable choices so early.
>The Towering Inferno
At 21? WHAT THE FUCK?
>Breakfast Club
This movie is shit. It wasn't bad as a teenager but it's terrible to watch as adult. It's so fucking shallow.
>Rebel without a Cause
Am I the only one who doesn't find this film remarkable in any way? Including Dean's performance. It's strong but it's been so romanticised that people build it into something it simply isn't.

Some of them only get a spot because they are "classics"

I genuinely think that people switch off their brains and accept that anything labelled a "classic" is instantly good.

I actually argued with a group of friends about a film (I can't remember which now) many consider a classic but it just isn't that great. Their only argument was "dude it's a classic!"
They couldn't give any other reason for why it was good.

Sup Forums always scoffs and says these lists are shit but offers nothing in return because all Sup Forums really does is watch capeshit and shitpost about girl actresses. All talk, no substance. Sup Forums is nothing but a meme board.

There are plenty of decent posts rebutting this list in here already.

This is honestly one of the worst top 100 lists I have seen. I know they're all about controversial choices to get discussion and clicks but this is just awful.

delet this

>Blade Runner
Shit movie m8

>The Breakfast Club
Good but one of the best films of all time? Kek

>Blue Velvet
This is a joke right?

>Point Break
I love Keanu and this is a good action film, but one of the best films of all time? Lol

Holy fuck The Times are retarded.

In no particular order:

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back
The Matrix
The Dark Knight
The Shawshank Redemption
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
The Lord of the Rings all three of them
The Godfather
Star Wars A New Hope

>There are plenty of decent posts rebutting this list in here already.
not really. they're only top 10s, and furthermore the movies listed by Sup Forums posters are hardly any different to the ones in the times. 'patrician' my ass.

Do it, it's a wonderful, short, very straightforward story. Actors in it are not professional actors but merely random people, yet the acting is great.

No The Thing. Bye.

>No Inarritu
Anti-cinema falseflag confirmed

Where the fuck is Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Where the fuck is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Fuck The Times

Personally I don't think so. Not even Hitchcock's best.

Metropolis is still great.

is this the birth of an epic new meme?

>meme - a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users.
This is not humorous, this is my top 100 and you are welcome to criticize it as much as The Times' list. I only posted it because it was requested by user.

Disagree.

Why do you find it great?

>Casino not above Godfather
>Alien in there at all
otherwise a decent list.


lot of plebs in this thread btw

bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/sightandsoundpoll2012/critics
you just copied this list, senpai
either that or you have absolutely peasant taste

my jimmies have been fully rustled

Eternal sunshine shouldn't be on the list at all, let alone top fucking ten

>Casablanca

What the fuck is the obsession in all these "Best films" list with this shitty old romantic drama? Honestly I haven't watched it but how this genre could ever be unequivocally rated good by all, right to the very top, is beyond me

We had a great top 100 like 5 years back but it doesn't get posted anymore cuz we're afraid Reddit will steal all our movies

>expecting Sup Forums to agree with any top 10 list from any magazine/AFI/website

The script is superb. There are so many brilliant and iconic moments there that the only thing that has diminished their impact is how frequently they've been copied, homaged, referenced or parodied.
It's a bonafide masterpiece. Unquestionably one of the best of all time.

The best? I dunno. It does everything exceptionally well but it doesn't innovate in any way. That might not be a bad thing and it's not really a controversial choice for me, I would just not have it number one personally.

You're not talking about that top 100 that had Inception and Dark Knight in the top 10 are you?

>Honestly I haven't watched it but
please refrain from giving your opinion

oh yeah the one with fight club and eternal sunshine? i think it was just memes

>look mommy i'm a real movie connoisseur now

lol back to /r/movies

>Chinatown

Lol

>Citizen Kane flat out omitted
the balls on these guys

There was a meme list and then an actual list that had stalker and 2001 in the top 10.

>3. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial

fuck this world

>Casablanca
>ET
>Sound of Music
>Towering Inferno
>Breakfast Club
>Some Like It Hot
>Philadelphia Story
>Gone With The Wind

etc

people still pretend these movies are not horribly outdated

just insert gender politics into the list and get it over with

>Chinameme that high

I can't take a list with stalker in the top 10 seriously
Stalker is at best a 300-400 area movie

Casablanca stands time really well, I don't see much problem with Sound of Music and Gone with the Wind either though wouldn't list either in a list like that.

Towering Inferno was a meme flick when it came out and Breakfast Club was also always shit.

I don't know how a human being with eyes, ears and a brain could not appreciate Chinatown.

Zero issue with it being top 10.

Maybe I'll try again.

>Chinatown that high
>Alien I'm pleased with
>2001 below Alien is ridiculous, though

>that top 10

Disgusting.

These lists are weird because they're always filled with real obscure but middling films. Makes me wonder what the thought process that goes into the humor is, or if it's just random.

Do it.

Watching movies in high school isn't a way to appreciate them

For one, it feels like a chore because you're being forced to watch it.
Two, high schoolers have no life experience and very rarely any wisdom. Their tastes and opinions are useless.
Three, you might have watched it in class, with a whole group of begrudging teenage scum. No way to watch and appreciate a film.
Four, you're a completely different person now. How different do you feel after a few years pass? With over a decade passing you're a radically different person.

Watch it tonight, faggot.

> 夢 cinema and not movie
> 夢 no. 1 in cinema

kekd hard

good/interesting choices:
kes, don't look now, picnic at hanging rock
youcantbeserious.exe:
ESOTSM, Star Wars V, Jaws

That is a meme list, fool.

The Mirror is better but I wouldn't fault a person for putting Stalker in their top 10 as well.

Mine goes something like,

2001
Zerkalo/The Mirror
Aguirre
Lawrence
Stalker

BTW Hitchcock films are masterfully made but lack philosophical substance completely.

I know, it's just a very odd array of choices for a meme list.

Hitchcock is a prime example of horribly outdated director in everything he did. Half of his shit is almost unwatchable now.

not bad
guess who's missing?

>eternal sunshine
>cool hand luke
>days of heaven

GOAT LIST

Hitchcock was a very talented director and his work holds up, but his films weren't profound on an intellectual level.

Le Revelateur came out in 1968 dummy

Kes at #7

Obviously they're taking popularity into account in a big way, so I see what they're doing. It's not necessarily highest quality according to the writers. Still, I think there are absolutely some movies that could have bumped point break and deliverance, etc, off the list.

kes is a good film, fuck off

Not that guy but he didn't say it wasn't.

It's nowhere near the top 50 of all time though, let alone fucking number 7.

Wait, Point fucking Break is on that list?

What?

it's better than most movies in the list

Eternal Plebshine is on that list

Yeah, but is that indicative of the quality of Kes or the low quality of the list?

if you think that vertigo and rear window lack philosophical substance you might as well stop taking films seriously and watch the latest marvel flick

BTW A. Rublev is Tarkovsky's best and he should have stopped making movies there as far as I am concerned
BTW 2 Hitchcock was much much better than Tarkovsky

both
I think you replied to the wrong post

...

I never said it was a bad film

Hitchcock's films aren't as soulful as Tarkovsky's. They're very well made, but Tarkovsky dwells on the human condition in such a way that few directors ever have.

wheres farewell to my concubine on your wannabe patrician list?

What the fuck is this garbage?
