Juno's Top 100

[Juno MacGuff]

Going to change this up and work on just a top 100 list of all decades that I have seen. Let's see how this works.

[honeykid]

You have Whip It and Finding Neverland, so there's hope. :)

[genesis_pig]

Nothing before 80's??

[Juno MacGuff]

Nothing before 80's?? I will post a list of my top 100 and there will be some 80's films in there.

[Brodinski]

Nice to see you've put an effort into making this, but it would be even nicer if you elaborated your choices a bit :)

[Juno MacGuff]

Nice to see you've put an effort into making this, but it would be even nicer if you elaborated your choices a bit :) I am not completed this yet. After it is all done there will be a list of 100 films mostly from the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

[Juno MacGuff]

The 1990''s of course I have seen most of these films from DVD. It is very challenging to make a top 100.

[genesis_pig]

I have to say.. Your 90's movie taste is far better..

[honeykid]

I have to say.. Your 90's movie taste is far better..

That's not surprising, GP. The 90's were a better decade for Hollywood, IMO.

[genesis_pig]

True.. but not bad enough to include New York, I love you. :)
No offence Juno

[Juno MacGuff]

The 80's were even more of a challenge for me because I missed all of the 80's and I don't mean in a drug induced missed sort of way. There are some great films from the 80's though that have made my list.

[Juno MacGuff]

True.. but not bad enough to include New York, I love you. :)
No offence Juno
Hey if it is only 1 movie out ouf 50 that isn't too bad.;)

[genesis_pig]

What?! No ghostbusters?! :eek:

[Juno MacGuff]

What?! No ghostbusters?! :eek:Actually I have never seen it.:D

[Juno MacGuff]

OK, Here we go I am going to try and make a top 100 by hopefully keeping most if not all my top 50 in tact but who knows.

[christine]

well done Juno on compiling those lists. Out of your 150 films we share 2 :D

Hard work isn't it doing those lists? Interesting tho. Look forward to reading your expanded list :)

[genesis_pig]

[Juno MacGuff]

After getting the recommendation from rauldc14 for the Lucky Ones I got it out of the library and watched it. It was a very good movie and has replaced New York, I Love You int the top 50 at #45 on my list of films from 2000-2009.

[genesis_pig]

The only thing good about New york, I Love you was the short starring Chris Cooper.

[rauldc14]

Glad you liked The Lucky Ones, Juno. What was your favorite part and favorite character?

[Juno MacGuff]

My favorite part had to be when they were at the church and the minister was about to pray over T.K.'s private parts that were wounded. I also liked when Colee was in the bar and was limping and the girl gave her lip and she layed her out. Definitely Rachel McAdams was my favorite mostly because I love Rachel McAdams, but Tim Robbins was his usually wonderful self and Michael Cena was also Brilliant.

[rauldc14]

I liked the church part too. I just love the movie because it has 3 brilliant actors Robbins, McAdams, and Pena in a low-budget movie that just seems to work out for me. It's a fun movie to watch and the progression of the characters is interesting to follow.

#19: Mean Girls 4/5 stars~ By far Lindsay Lohan's best performance of her career. Rachel McAdams is also brilliant in this comedy.

#18: Finding Neverland 4/5 stars~ Johnny Depp is great as JM Barrie. Freddie Highmore is also brilliant in this film. It also has one of the most memorable endings of any films I have seen.

#17: 10 Things I Hate About You 4/5 stars~ My favorite Heath Ledger performance. I love the on screen interactions with co-star Julia Stiles.

#16: Fast Times at Ridgemont High 4/5 stars~ One of the best characters ever in Jeff Spacoli played by the great Sean Penn early in his career. Great and funny film.

#15: Field Of Dreams 4/5 stars~ I love this film not because it is about baseball, but it is about relationship and trust. Kevin Costner, Ray Lioni, and James Earl Jones are brilliant.

[rauldc14]

Reign over Me really is a terrific film. I am kind of sad that it doesn't get more positive feedback.

[Juno MacGuff]

Reign over Me really is a terrific film. I am kind of sad that it doesn't get more positive feedback. What makes it great is you really don't expect Sandler to give a good performance and he gives a fantastic one. I love the movie.

[rauldc14]

Not only one of Sandler's best performances, but I also believe it may be Don Cheadle's best performance as well.

[Caitlyn]

You have some pretty cool films listed... many of which are also favorites of mine. I went ahead and added your list to the MoFo Members Top 100 Lists (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?p=430715#post430715)... even though, technically, you didn't list it as a top 100 list... :)

[earlsmoviepicks]

Fast Times at Ridgemont High -- classic! ;)

[Powdered Water]

As I have many of the same sappy syrupy flicks on my list that you have on yours, that would obviously mean that this is like the greatest list of all time.

Except for Juno of course. Sorry, I thought it was incredibly average, No matter, you have many other very good films on there.

[TheUsualSuspect]

The only thing good about New york, I Love you was the short starring Chris Cooper.


WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAA?!?!?!?!?!?!

Eli Wallach and Cloris Leachman were by the far the best thing in New York, I Love You.

Cooper's short was predictable.

[Juno MacGuff]

At least I know just about every mo-foers has seen New York, I Love You. I mean the cast looked amazing I think that is why people thought it was going to be great.

[genesis_pig]

WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAA?!?!?!?!?!?!

yeah, that would be my second fave.
I love Paris Je'taime.

[rauldc14]

I usually like Natalie Portman and Shia LaBeouf, but I really hated their shorts.

I wanna watch it, even though it seems to get only bad reviews, but I've never seen the dvd here in Denmark :(

[honeykid]

At least I know just about every mo-foers has seen New York, I Love You. I mean the cast looked amazing I think that is why people thought it was going to be great.

I've not. Not that will surprise many here. :D

Honestly, I think anyone of voting age who saw this thinking it would be good, should have their right to vote taken away. Obviously, this doesn't apply to Juno, here, so she's more than welcome to love it. :)

[Juno MacGuff]

I am going to have to watch New York, I Love You again to see if it has the same appeal to me as the 1st time.

[mark f]

I've seen Paris je t'aime and thought it was OK, but I haven't seen New York, I Love You. I will try to watch it soon. But the title definitely reminds me of this awesome LCD Soundsystem song...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQphuL0RMNU

[Juno MacGuff]

+ rep. Love the tune

[Powdered Water]

I haven't seen New York, I Love You either. Definitely seems like the kind of flick I would enjoy.

[Juno MacGuff]

I haven't seen New York, I Love You either. Definitely seems like the kind of flick I would enjoy.
Just don't get caught up in the whole cast being brilliant and you will enjoy it. I thought it was enjoyable. I don't think it is a run out a purchase movie, but it was good in my eyes.

[Powdered Water]

No problem there, I quit purchasing movies over a year ago. I will give it a look up online and see if its out there at some point. I have so many movies I'm trying to get to. It's not even funny.

[Juno MacGuff]

That is probably the best thing to do.

[Juno MacGuff]

#10: The Breakfast Club 5/5 stars~ My favorite of the brat packers film. There are so many funny lines and the interaction of the 5 main characters are fantastic.

#9: With Honors 5/5 stars~ One of the best performances I have ever seen in a movie that is not well known. Joe Pesci puts together a fantastic performance. The co-starring cast is also brilliant.

#8: The Princess Bride 5/5 stars~ A true classic of true love.

#7: August Rush 5/5 stars~ Freddie Highmore is brilliant in this movie where he must find his parents through his love of music. Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers & Robin Williams are also very good in this film.

#6: Girl, Interrupted 5/5 stars~ Fantastic performance by Oscar winner Angelina Joile and also a great performance by Winona Ryder.

#5: American Beauty 5/5 stars~ Brilliant cast with a huge performance by Kevin Spacey. Also an ending that makes ya jump out of your seat and also cry.

#4: Dead Poets Society 5/5 stars~ Robin Williams at his best and it really isnt in a comedic role. Also the ending is also very memorable.

#3: The Outsiders 5/5 stars~ A brilliant cast before they all became stars and one of the best stories that a film was made into.

#2: The Notebook 5/5 stars~ The onscreen chemistry of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams was brilliant. Also James Garner and Gena Rowlands were fantastic. One of the saddest endings of a movie in my opinion.

#1: Juno 5/5 stars~ This movie has it all for me . A character in Juno(Page) that is funny, sweet, and just free spirited. Then there is her boyfriend Paulie Bleeker(Cera) who is a little goofy but will do anything for Juno. This is totally the guy I am looking for. So I love this movie because I want to live this movie other than having a baby and all. The soundtrack is also awesome.

[Juno MacGuff]

Just recently saw two films that will be inserted into my top 100.

Remember, Me starring Robert Pattinson 4/5 stars: A romantic film that brings Pattinson away from his Twilight role in great fashion. He connects with this role and the chemistry between Pattision and co-star Emilie de Ravin is incredible.

Eclipse starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner 4/5 stars: Definitely the most intense of all the movies so far and the one that kept my interest the best. Also stopped at a good time for the next installment of Breaking Dawn next year.

[rauldc14]

I am looking forward to seeing the Top 100 in full. Should be good.

[Juno MacGuff]

I am looking forward to seeing the Top 100 in full. Should be good. It is up . Go back to page 1 and you will see where I start with #100 and most are on page 2.

[mark f]

You do know there is a rating between 4/5 and 5/5? It's 4.5/5 or 4.5. :cool:

[Juno MacGuff]

You do know there is a rating between 4/5 and 5/5? It's 4.5/5 or 4.5. :cool:Hahahahahahaha:D

[rauldc14]

I agree. 4.5/5's aren't a bad thing. Or score it out of 10. Kind of weird that we only have 4 top 100 films in common. But I haven't seen a lot from your list and I'm nearly certain you haven't seen a good chunk of mine.

[Juno MacGuff]

Those movies aren't usually on the top of a guys lists. :D

[mark f]

OK, but you could still try to differentiate between your 100 movies, and some might rise and some might sink (between 4, 4.5 and 5.) The other thing is that if you watch more of the lists and ALL the movies in the polls, your life willl be enriched cinematically. :cool:

The other thing is that if you watch more of the lists and ALL the movies in the polls, your life willl be enriched cinematically. :cool:I can rate the movies whatever rating I want. If I wanted to rate my entire top 100 movies 5 stars out of 5 or a perfect scoring than I would. I certainly would not rate a movie in my top 100 lower than a 3 star out of 5 stars because if it is in my top 100 than I must have enjoyed the movie somewhat.

Concerning the movies from the polls I will try to watch them and I also enjoy reading the reviews and remarks from the other mofoers here because they do have way more experience with older films than myself. That is why I enjoy this site more than any other reason.

RV, c'mon Juno...:p

[rauldc14]

I think a lot of people here have to remember that there are a lot of young members here too. I'm 22 and its only been a year since I've been truly watching movies from the lists because they are considered great. There's plenty of time to catch up, Juno. I do agree that your top 100 list would change dramatically as well, because mine has since I've seen a lot of movies on those lists.

[Juno MacGuff]

RV, c'mon Juno...:pThat movie was hilarious.

I do agree that your top 100 list would change dramatically as well, because mine has since I've seen a lot of movies on those lists. I agree that it will change as I get older and more mature, but as for now I enjoy teen type movies and romantic comedies which I will probably enjoy my entire life. I just don't think I will ever be into Westerns or movies that blow up a ton of stuff and call it a movie. It just doesn't fit my sort of personality.

[Michael_10]

I was mucking around. Each to their own. But, you you really want to see Williams at his best, buy some of his stand up DVD's ...there's a new one out now.

[Juno MacGuff]

I was mucking around. Each to their own. But, you you really want to see Williams at his best, buy some of his stand up DVD's ...there's a new one out now.I imagine that is really funny too. And Robin was also brilliant in Dead Poets Society.

I just don't think I will ever be into Westerns or movies that blow up a ton of stuff and call it a movie. It just doesn't fit my sort of personality.

Stuff can learn to grow on you, but I agree watch what you like watching or else it isn't worth watching anything at all.

[Michael_10]

That movie was hilarious.

I was shocked to see it at #23, that's all. I've watched it with my 16 year old niece, she enjoyed it but not that much.

I just really enjoyed it. I also like Kristen Chenoweth and Josh Hutcherson.

[Juno MacGuff]

Stuff can learn to grow on you, but I agree watch what you like watching or else it isn't worth watching anything at all.So true, I just don't think I could sit through a western. I certainly don't torture myself sitting through a horror film that I know will give me nightmares for days.

[Michael_10]

I imagine that is really funny too. And Robin was also brilliant in Dead Poets Society.




Awakenings, also. Dead Poets is a wonderful Movie, especially if you've been to strict Schools. "Priests & Nuns" still give me nightmares..LOL

[Juno MacGuff]

I have yet to see Awakenings. I also like him in Good Will Hunting.

[Michael_10]

Well at least you like Good Will Hunting...haha

[rauldc14]

So true, I just don't think I could sit through a western. I certainly don't torture myself sitting through a horror film that I know will give me nightmares for days.

If you do try a western though, try Unforgiven or The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Two great films.

Here is a Western you would like.

I don't think he's saying "ignore" just "start elsewhere". TBH, I'd give the same advice though, for Juno, I'd think about starting with something like The Quick And The Dead or Bad Girls. Actually, everyone should watch Bad Girls. If that was one of the choices, I'd pick it. :D

[Ðèstîñy]

I wonder why . . .

I have watched Bad Girls with Drew Barrymore, Andie Macdowell, Mary Stuart Masterson and Madeline Stowe and I liked it. I have also seen the Young Guns movies with Emilio Estevez. :D

[rauldc14]

I wonder why . . .


ahhh.......the sarcasm. I don't mean to ignore. Obviously she isn't a fan of the genre though. TGTBATU and Unforgiven were the starting places suggested to me from the Western Genre though.

[honeykid]

No, that was directed at me, rauldc. I said I'd choose Bad Girls if it was on offer and that everyone should watch it. The reason for all this, as Destiny knows so well, is this lady.

As you may've noticed, I have a bit of a crush on her. :D

Drew is very beautiful. And she was a bad ass in the movie.

I just figured out why. You like stand up comics and she does, too. She likes to date and marry them.

I've had that figured out for a long time, honeykid. About as big of a crush on her that I have on Rachel McAdams, heck maybe even more. :)

Come on Juno, I thought Ellen Page for sure!

[Cries&Whispers]

You should see Half Nelson if you haven't yet. He's awesome in it. And, yeah, I would've definitely guessed Ellen Page as well. :) Are you as excited about Inception as I am? :eek:

[Juno MacGuff]

You should see Half Nelson if you haven't yet. He's awesome in it. And, yeah, I would've definitely guessed Ellen Page as well. :) Are you as excited about Inception as I am? :eek:Yes I have seen Half Nelson and he was amazing in that. He certainly is nice to look at.

Ellen is just so cool. She is someone who I know I could be friends with and just hang with.

[Juno MacGuff]

Just saw Inception today and that will be inserted into my top 100 films for sure.

[Juno MacGuff]

The 4 movies from 2010 that I am inserting into my top 100 go like this:

#71: Remember, Me starring Robert Pattinson 4/5 stars: I really enjoyed seeing Pattinson in another role other than Twilight as he did a wonderful job.

#49: Eclipse starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner 4/5 stars: The 3rd installment of the Twilight series was the best of all. A lot of action and the acting is getting better each fiklm.

#53: The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning 4/5 stars: both these young actresses did a brilliant job portraying Joan Jett and Cherrie Currie.

#17: Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio & Ellen Page 4/5 stars:Brilliant filming and acting by all involved in this film.


** So since I added 4 movies to my top 100 that means 4 have to go. Those movies are: The Object Of My Affection, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, As Good As It Gets, and Boys On The Side. **

[rauldc14]

Ugh. Eclipse? seriously? I can see somewhat enjoying the film, but #49 of all time?

I guess it happens though. My list may have some that people scoff at.

[Juno MacGuff]

Ugh. Eclipse? seriously? I can see somewhat enjoying the film, but #49 of all time?

I guess it happens though. My list may have some that people scoff at.
I thought Eclipse to be the best of the series so far. The films still do no justice to the books in my opinion, but I still enjoyed them.

[planet news]

"Never read any book that is not a year old." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

You shouldn't include Eclipse just for the reason that it came out so recently. You haven't even seen it twice yet probably (I don't know, maybe cuz it's Twilight). You haven't let it sink in. You haven't compared it against other films maybe not in the Twilight series... Same thing with Inception. It's been out 2 weeks. I've seen it twice already and the 2nd time definitely suffered. However, my 2nd viewing of TDK in theaters was nearly as awesome as the first time, hence the better film.

[Juno MacGuff]

I have seen Eclipse not once, not twice, but three times and each time I find something new to enjoy. Like I said this film had the most action of the three released wich made it much more exciting for me.

As for Inception I have only seen it once and plan on seeing it a second time soon as it was a lot to take in. As you probably noticed I am a big Ellen Page fan so seeing her in a role like the one see has in Inception and really nailing it makes me excited for her upcoming career.

Concerning the Dark Knight this was a film I did not enjoy very much at all with the exception of Heath Ledger as the Joker. His character was so anticipated it kinda took the focus off the other parts of the movie and to him. I have also seem TDK two times and I cannot agree with you it still did nothing for me.

[TheGirlWhoHadAllTheLuck_]

I thought Eclipse to be the best of the series so far. The films still do no justice to the books in my opinion, but I still enjoyed them.

The books are pretty bad but then Robert Pattinson irritates me as Edward (Edward and Jacob make a lovely couple, I think). I'm glad they got rid of the paedophilic...I mean 'imprinting' relationship between Quil and Claire. Unfortunate that their names together sound a lot like Clare Quilty...the rival paedophile in Lolita.

[Juno MacGuff]

Since I have been here for a few months now I thought it should be time to tweek my top 100 list and add some older movies to the list that I have seen in the past and also take out some movies that right now aren't really sparking my interest to much. I will just list the movies that were in the top 100 from before and highlight the new editions as they fall into place.

[Cries&Whispers]

I'm looking forward to this. It should be interesting to see what movies you've watched and added thanks to suggestions from MoFo. But won't it be hard to restart your Top 100 and insert new movies and exclude others?

[Juno MacGuff]

2. The Notebook

[iluv2viddyfilms]

Juno,

Noticed you have a lot of films about school and teachers on your list. Have you seen Half Nelson, which is what I consider probably the best film centered around a teacher/students.

[The Prestige]

Viddy's absolutely right. Watch Half Nelson, today if you can. Terrific film and I have confidence you'll appreciate it.

I've seen it. What a waste of time. Kenta Fukasaku must've made his dad turn in his grave.

[planet news]

All About Lily Chou-Chou is also amazing. Much more than just a High School film, but if you liked the age-range.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrgQ67MYEM

Hideaki Anno's Love and Pop has a similar theme as the above, but is not as good, though both are some of my favorites.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpuGodZ5kRw

And of course...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fxa5NuVrqU

[Iroquois]

Juno, you should probably check out Dazed and Confused, Heathers and Pump Up The Volume - they're high school movies I like but aren't on your list, so I kind of assume you haven't seen him. Either way, interested in your opinion.

P.S. (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l60izuahC81qcbjrjo1_400.png)

[christine]

If you're up for a little madness I'd recommend Summer Time Machine Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5XftzMJHr4

and in the age range , and this is a really great film

Ping Pong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u5YaGU3ELk

and so is Hula Girls

that one is extremely daft, but fun as are Motohiro's other films I've seen notably Bayside Shakedown, Space Travelers and Udon

P.S. (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l60izuahC81qcbjrjo1_400.png) Out of those films I have only seen Heathers which I thought was pretty good. I will have to check out the other two sometime.

Also, I'd be interested in getting your opinion on a 70s teen flick called Over the Edge. I'm not the biggest fan, but I reckon you should check it out.

[honeykid]

Definately check out Over The Edge, Juno. I love that film.

[Iroquois]

See, even Honeykid likes it.

[Juno MacGuff]
