Lol, it's always been Doug

>Ed Wood
>in anyone's top 20

those are both terrible lists

Anyone who wears a tie, and can't even tie it right, over a white t-shirt is a try-hard idiot.

I "get" what Doug is doing, but he still looks retarded.

Doug has better movies, but he likes them for plebier reasons.

Doug

James by far
>Rocky
>BTTF
Based

>tdk
>Batman
>including capeshit on your list

Doug's seems tryhard, James' is cuter

Appropriately, both lists are filled with flicks enjoyed by Reddit manchildren aka neo-Sup Forums.

Tip that fedora a little harder

When I read one from James Nintendo Nerd's list I imagine him going "Yeaahhh now we're talking".

When I read one from

Why are they posing in the function room of a Holiday Inn?

uhhh a con most likely

How about his 11 hottest animated women list?

Off to watch more black and white goats crying?

they did a short "film" a million years back, it was the battle royale or some shit

Apparently you're an insecure pretentious idiot who thinks film is only to be used as social currency.

This is the 20 favorite movies list that I put on my okcupid page. Guys who usually ask me out usually have Marvelshit or if they're pretending to be deep Tarantino flicks. I only fuck guys who are into kino. I'm a grill btw.


Excalibur
Only God Forgives
Groundhog's Day
Demolition Man
The Usual Suspects
Double Down
Dredd
The Rocketeer
Brazil (Director's Cut)
Robocop
Super
The Holy Mountain
Fargo
Macross: Do You Remember Love
Tenshi no Tamago
Ghost in the Shell
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Perfect Blue
Millennium Actress
Garden of Words

>8. The Dark Knight

James has the most pleb manchild list I've ever seen. He will never get past his garbage 80s childhood. It's so pathetic it hurts.

Dougs list is surprisingly decent. Never though I'd see a top 20 list with Eyes Wide Shut on it. Patrician confirmed.

Why was it made in the function room of a Holiday Inn?

Is this reviewkino?

They both suck.

There are some good films there, but both lists are made by people who don't really know much about film.

Doug has a better list but knows jack shit about film

>not a single European or Asian film except one anime that Doug probably watched with American dubbing
This is not even entry level.

>James describes himself as a huge fan of horror films, both from the golden age (Universal monsters) and silver (Hammer)
>not a single one on the list
okay?

James probably actually is serious about his fav movies, doug probably said his for hipster cred.

Brazil is not that good of a movie

He has a separate list for horror movies I think

His tie also looks like shit

Looks a lot nicer if you wear a blue oxford and a yellow tie

James is at least genuine.

hahah holy shit shut up

Doug
>20.Titus
Barely above average Shakespeare adaptation, hard to believe this is anyone's favorite. Possibly just a clumsy "intellectual" choice.
>19.Hamlet (1996)
...not even the best Hamlet adapted to film (third behind 1948 version and the Russian 1964 version). I'm starting to think this movie is "baby's first Shakespeare movie" tier. Incidentally,
>18.Patton
Solid choice, one of the better war films of all time
>17.Fantasia
Solid choice for Disney...albeit a tad tryhard
>16.Ed Wood
Every failed film students favorite movie, it's okay but hardly "top 10" material
>15.Secret of Nymph
Bluth's big break from Disney, not bad but "among the best?" Not really. An appeal to any anti-Disney fans in his audience?
>14.Sideways
Middle age mother pick
>13.Spirited Away
Not even the best Miyazaki but a safe choice to appeal to the anime crowd
>12.A Clockwork Orange
One of the worst Kubrick films, never understood why every pleb mentions this movie.
>11.Fearless (1993)
At least this is a personal pick, it has no appeal to any of his various fan cliques.
>10.Citizen Kane
Pleb choice #1, it's a remarkable film because of what it achieved/pioneered but the film itself is nothing special.
>9. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Good enough but another typical choice
>8. The Dark Knight
LOL
>7. Good Night, and Good luck
Disappointing film but at least it's another personal film for Doug.
>6. Lost in Translation
Jesus, another all too common pleb-pretending-to-be-patrician choice!
>5. Eyes Wide Shut
Another awful Kubrick?
>4. Batman
Aged like milk
>3. To Kill a Mockingbird
Borderline pleb
>2. Amadeus
Decent
>1. Brazil
This doesn't match anything else from his list...could it really be his favorite or another "appear smart" pick?

Extremely inauthentic choices, nearly every choice appears to be some pathetic attempt to garner support from his fractured fanbase.

Yes, I dont really get why people like Brazil so much. Not bad by any means, but the Orwellian 1984 social commentary and office work satire feels overdone now.

James:
>20. Full Metal Jacket
Why do they both enjoy the worst Kubrick films? ...Baffling
>19. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Legitimate Top 10
>18. The Sword in the Stone
Underrated Disney classic
>17. Rear Window
Solid mass-appeal Hitchcock
>16. First Blood
Decent
>15. Jaws
I guess it has appeal
>14. This is Spinal Tap
Dangerously close to pleb but a fun little comedy
>13. Ed Wood
Literally proving my point in the previous post
>12. Gremlins
Fun film
>11. Vertigo
Another great mass-appeal Hitchcock
>10. American Movie
Crap but at least it's a personal pick for James
>9. Wizard of Oz
He sure does like family films doesn't he, difficult to find full with though
>8. Terminator 2
Pleb 100% The first was better in every respect
>7. Star Wars OT
Cheating to pick all three
>6. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Family picture again...
>5. Rocky
Solid choice, best of the series
>4. Ghostbusters
Fun little film but it is becoming all too clear that James never progressed past the 80's
>3. Back to the Future
Classic flick
>2. King Kong (1933)
Classic
>1. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Golden Age comedy classic

Much safer picks in a mass appeal sense but far more authentic. James likes a much narrower style of film but at least he's honest. Somewhat surprised he doesn't rate any Godzilla films in his top 20 given the fact that he specifically reviewed each of them a few years back.

Pleb but honest, my vote goes to James

James' list seems like a list of movies he thinks are good because he actually likes them.

Doug's list reads like a list of movies he thinks are good because that's what their "legacy" is.

I feel you hit some nails on the head on why I dont like his choices, though some stuff I dont agree with (I cant really name my favorite Kubrick film, bu A Clockwork Orange objectively isnt his worst by a long shot)

Spirited Away seems to be everyone's favorite Ghibli film, and while there isn't anything wrong with that, there are other Miyazaki films that do a better job at capturing his artistry.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is decent, but the book feels more enjoyable in its aimlessness while the movie feels meandering. which is the point, i get it, but it feels less enjoyable as I get older.

overall, not bad movies, none that Id have on my list. anymore, I really dont know what Id have on my list anyways

How did Doug and James even come to do videos together anyways?

I really hate doug and really like James so this is a problem for me

Just to be clear; I never stated A Clockwork Orange is Kubrick's worst film, just among the worst. Considering Kubrick's body of work that isn't exactly an insult. I'm just tired of everybody saying it's his best movie...especially egregious when it's the only film of his they've watched as it so often appears to be.

Also, Spirited Away is a decent enough choice if you're going to include anime but it is overrated because it is most people's first Miyazaki film.

Making a top 20 list is a challenging undertaking... it would be much easier to separate by genre or decade or director, etc.

how does my list compare Sup Forums
20. Police Story
19. THX 1138
18. The Big Sleep
17. Goldfinger
16. In The Company Of Men
15. The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
14. Flirting With Disaster
13. Evil Dead II
12. Eraserhead
11. Hot Fuzz
10. Freaks (1932)
9. Big Fish
8. Lionheart
7. Dante's Inferno (1911)
6. A Woman Under the Influence
5. Mulholland Drive
4. Husbands
3. Naked Lunch
2. Kung Fu Hustle
1. Pan's Labyrinth

No one cares about your pleb list. Kill yourself.

Good list. Lots of Lynch and Cronenburg which I respect. Pans Labyrinth and Kung fu hustle are way too high up imo.

>20. Police Story
Possibly the single most satisfying Jackie Chan movie ever.
>19. THX 1138
Never really saw the appeal, didn't hate it or anything...just kind of experianced once and that was enough.
>18. The Big Sleep
One of the better Bogart films, refreshing to see over the usual Bogart picks.
>17. Goldfinger
Not my favorite Bond but damn close
>16. In The Company Of Men
Haven't seen it, will have to check it out.
>15. The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Solid Giallo pick...I would have gone with a Bava film but this is a good Argento pick and, again, refreshing.
>14. Flirting With Disaster
Another I haven't seen...
>13. Evil Dead II
Decent enough, extra points when you consider the budget and the reworkings attempted after the first film.
>12. Eraserhead
Glad I watched it but never again, if you can appreciate this over and over again more power to you
>11. Hot Fuzz
A guilty pleasure but nowhere near the top for me. If we're being honest I'd rather watch point break.
>10. Freaks (1932)
Very enjoyable and unsettling, solid choice.
>9. Big Fish
Has a certain charm but not enough to achieve the top 20 for me.
>8. Lionheart
Oh you done fucked up now son! Lionheart over Bloodsport, Kickboxer, or Hard Target? No sir, I don't agree!
>7. Dante's Inferno (1911)
Interesting choice, you don't see too many silent films in top 20 lists. Did you watch the version with the Tangerine Dream score or the 2011 version? Have you seen The Phantom Carraige?
>6. A Woman Under the Influence
Cassavettes is always a solid choice
>5. Mulholland Drive
Insufferable fans but a great film nonetheless.
>4. Husbands
Great Cassavettes film, very polarizing
>3. Naked Lunch
Not my favorite Cronenberg but probably his best film objectively
>2. Kung Fu Hustle
Really? Your 2nd favorite of all time? Shaolin Soccer is better
>1. Pan's Labyrinth
I keep rewatching this but I just don't see the appeal. Earlier stuff was better.

Authentic list and parallel my own in some regards.

you got some shitty picks in there but over all respectable list. I'd fuck ya, too

Yeah its reviewkino, Doug has made several films. Why was it made in the fuction room of a Holiday Inn? Probably cause it was cost effective. They got like 15 people from across the internet to star in this short film where they all come together to fight, the allegiances eventually form into two factions, Critics and Nerds, or film buffs vs video game buffs, Noah Antwiler had trouble deciding which one he is and eventually was kinda in the middle which is cool because he was the third most popular guy at the time and had his own fan base that liked seeing him be independent.

It was a different fucking time, I can tell you that, man. I was 16 and I thought it was cool. Now its so cringe I wanna kill myself

Says the fuck in the back. Prove it bitch, what do you think you know that James doesnt?

Do you mind doing me?
Lawrence of Arabia
Patton
Sunset Blvd
Seven Samurai
Million Dollar Baby
Poetry (korean flick)
Zulu
Pulp Fiction
Hari Kiri
The Iron Giant

oh shit wait wait let me number them first and get 10 more

James definitely. He picked movies that someone would enjoy watching. Doug's list comes across as tryhard.

What does Sup Forums think of Latza's top 10?

10. Taxi Driver
9. Rubin & Ed
8. Princess Mononoke
7. Magical Mystery Tour
6. A Clockwork Orange
5. Terror Toons
4. Adventures of Baron Munchausen
3. The Bicycle Thieves
2. The Star Wars Holiday Special
1. Love and Mercy

Doug's reeks of pretention.

>Star Wars Holiday Special

Stupid throwaway choice, no one actually enjoys that crap, let alone put it in their top 10. Try again, Latza.

k i had to think about it for a second and browse my movies and then rearrange a bit for most honesty, but yeah here we are
1.Patton
2.Lawrence of Arabia
3.Seven Samurai
4.Pulp Fiction
5.Million Dollar Baby
6.Poetry
7.The Iron Giant
8.Hari Kiri
9.Zulu
10.Sunset Blvd
11.Rocky
12.Son Of Frankenstein
13.Peewee's Big Adventure
14.Midnight Cowboy
15.Schindler's List
16.Princess Monoke
17.Terminator
18.Boogie Nights
19.Gladiator
20.Whiplash (kind of a new movie but I've seen it so many times since it came out, fantastic fucking pacing)

Nostalgia Chick has also posted her top favorites

you really like the word "pleb", don't you

Before I came to this board I, without irony, thought Master and Commander was the best film of all time. I still hold that belief.

If your top 20 list doesn't have a single Scorsese picture in it you are likely a man-child.

There is no director that has more singularly captured the straight white male through film.

Here's my 20
20. Homeward Bound
19. Goodbye Lenin!
18. Amores Perros
17. City of God
16. The Apartment
15. Before the Revolution
14. Trainspotting
13. Princess Mononoke
12. Sympathy for Mr Vengeanec
11. Nueve Reinas
10. Brazil
9. La Haine
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
7. Breathless
6. Unforgiven
5. Third Man
4. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
3. Thin Man
2. Lawrence of Arabia
1. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Taxi Driver is over rated. His best film may have been Hugo, maybe The Departed. Fuck Casino it SUCKS. Fuck Goodfellahs its OVERRATED NARRATION. Raging Bull was pretty good.

Homeward Bound? The 90s one?

>His best film may have been Hugo
This is how I know you were born in 1995.

James, only because I have similar taste.

Yep, the 90s one.
I don't really have the ability to justify it. I just still have a strong emotional experience from watching it, which means something to me.

1990* and on the same day as bruce lee and jimi hendrix

...

Honestly I can dig it, man, I think I really like that movie, too. I got a lot of ties to it as well. Second one as well, but I never liked it as much as the first, with the pound and all that, I think its the first one he eats the cake and then hes like "wuhb i dooo?" or some shit, pure kino

A remember that TGWTG killed him.

He wouldn't have killed himself if CA/TGWTG wasn't such a shitty company.

H-here I go

From favorite to 20th favorite

1. Barry Lyndon
2. Calvary
3. The Hunt
4. Withnail and I
5. The Seventh Seal
6. The Thing
7. The Wind that Shakes the Barley
8. Culloden

10. Valhalla Rising
11. Fellowship of the Ring

14. The Duelists
15. Excalibur
16. Amhrán na Mara
17. Hunchback of Notre Dame
18. Zulu
19. Jason and the Argonauts
20. 300 (yes, really)

Who is this?

>Barry Lyndon
Interesting but respectable choice.

Jew Wario. Not the guy that posted the picture, I don't know exactly what hes talking about with TGWTG but I always assumed he killed himself because he was the eldest of the crew but the least autistic, he could actually feel shame for what he was and when he saw that his fan base didnt give a fuck about him (see his live reading of one of his reviews, attempting to emulate Linkara's success) I think it just put him deeper into depression and self hatred. He hated himself as a man, if you go and watch the second TGWTG movie you can tell he has mojo and the ability to be an alpha, but he ultimately didn't let himself become that person and got down on himself too much about it. He compared himself to real men a lot I think, especially being so old at that point and basically being a fucking child, not a real game critic

Meant for

>Linkara's success
>people donated $60,000 for him to make a 'movie'

I'll try just top 10:
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Goodfellas
3. Eyes Wide Shut
4. There Will Be Blood
5. No Country for Old Men
6. 12 Years a Slave
7. Throne of Blood
8. Barry Lyndon
9. Das Boot
10. The Big Lebowski

>doug
>thinking he can compete with the only man in recorded history to ever uncuck his own shit

When I saw your initial list I knew this would be easy, your list includes many of my favorites...to the point where a "review" probably won't offer much insight.

>1.Patton
As I mentioned earlier; this is a fantastic war film and endlessly rewatchable.
>2.Lawrence of Arabia
My favorite "epic" film, visually stunning. Have you ever seen Khartoum I wonder?
>3.Seven Samurai
Not my favorite Kurosawa but another gorgeous film to be sure. Always been partial to Throne of Blood myself...or Stray Dog...or Ran...or High and Low
>4.Pulp Fiction
Good film...been a while since I watched it to be honest.
>5.Million Dollar Baby
I know I'm a pleb in this regard but I prefer Eastwood's earlier director work...High Plains Drifter, Play Misty for Me, The Outlaw Josey Wales, etc. Still a great film
>6.Poetry
Heard good things...
>7.The Iron Giant
Surprisingly moving film, was late to "party" so it doesn't have any nostalgia value for me.
>8.Hari Kiri
I assume you meant the original 1962 film; Kobayashi is another favorite and this is probably his best.
>9.Zulu
Another great epic, went out of my way to get the British Bluray.
>10.Sunset Blvd
Devilish noir classic. Billy Wilder is one of the best American filmmakers of all time.
>11.Rocky
Classic, Stallone could have had a career writing movies rather than acting.
>12.Son Of Frankenstein
I've always been partial to this one over the first but I've never seen anyone else with the same opinion.
>13.Peewee's Big Adventure
I acknowledge this is a classic but it was ruined for me.
>14.Midnight Cowboy
Recall I enjoyed this movie but I've only seen it once.
>15.Schindler's List
Not enjoyable but certainly moving, this and The Pianist are hard to watch.
>16.Princess Mononoke
Solid choice for Miyazaki, still prefer his older work
>17.Terminator
Very good horror film, love the aesthetics
>18.Boogie Nights
Gritty but enjoyable
>19.Gladiator
One of the better modern epics
>20.Whiplash
Definitely one of the best I've seen in recent years

Was meant for
It's a crutch I admit, been hanging around here too long perhaps.

Where's the rate-user?

Both lists contain both great and terrible films. I would say that they are both lousy critics based on inconsistency alone. But I would give the edge to Doge simply because his top 5 isn't as bad as the Nerd's.

L M A O.

A Boy and His Dog is a fantastic movie I just always have a hard time placing comedies in my top lists.

I feel like it deserves a separate list, same with documentaries.

Good list, would bang/10

Jackie Brown is shit tho

>All this generic/pleb Kubrick
>No one picks Dr Strangelove

I don't get it. It's not it's super patrician like Barry Lyndon that splits audiences or anything. People just forget it and pick worse films instead of it.

I will do my best to draft up a Top 20 and, just for the hell of it, I won't repeat any movies from this thread...

Thanks a lot for forcing me to rewrite this at the last minute.

In no particular order:

Blood and Black Lace
Il Grande Silenzio
Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia
The Searchers
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Dirty Dozen
Ugetsu
The Wages of Fear
Dersu Uzala
Army of Shadows
Stalker
Reds
Get Carter
The Time Machine
The Money Pit
The Rescuers
Dawn of the Dead
Odd Man Out
From Russia With Love
Dirty Harry

Doug's list is obviously better but I don't believe he actually likes or even fully appreciates a lot of those movies.
