Love the Goodfellas pick, and really really love the Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans pick. Glad that other people can appreciate what is my favorite silent film so far (though I haven't seen much). Looking forward to the rest of this list!

Only if you stick to his first 100 because at this point, he's written up so many classic films, it's nearly impossible not to share several.

And by the way, comparing Top 100 to Top 100, it seems to be 54 in common. Whatever that tells you.

Cries&Whispers

07-19-10, 03:59 AM

I'm loving your list for the most part. It's hard to argue with a lot of the movies you've chosen. I especially like your nods to Fassbinder and Powell-Pressburger. And Children of Men is one of my favorites.

But can you explain your inclusion of Song of the South a bit? I only saw part of it, because for the most part, I found it to be pretty racist and extremely offensive. So was Birth of Nation, I guess, but that was innovative and quite significant to the progress of motion pictures. I have heard that Song of the South was a well-made movie, and I'm not discounting or even disagreeing with your selection. I'd just like to know if there was something about it in particular that compelled you to select it.

Was it the combination of live-action and animation, that classic song, or maybe the story? Again, I never saw the entire thing, do I need to give it another chance?

sarah f

07-19-10, 03:37 PM

Well, obviously, if it's in my top 50 I think you should give it another chance. I don't really understand the comments that a lot of people make about it being racist though. It takes place after the Civil War, and of course, around that time there still would have been racist people living in the South, though that's a pretty obvious statement... there will probably be some amount of racist people almost everywhere at any time... But that's beside the point and I'm rambling now. The point is that the movie doesn't really show this. Uncle Remus is one of the most awesome people ever, fictional or otherwise and he seems pretty damn free to me, able to do most anything he wants. Johnny's grandmother, who was no doubt running the plantation during slavery, even has a lot of respect for Uncle Remus. He's the person that the children in the movie want to spend all their time with because he's so much fun, understanding, such a great storyteller, and gives them more freedom (at least gives Johnny more freedom) than he gets under his mother's watch (and this may very well be because Uncle Remus values his freedom so much, being emancipated and all, though the film never says that Uncle Remus used to be a slave). He becomes almost a surrogate father for Johnny while he's away from his father. This all adds to the things I liked about the movie when I was a child- the animation, songs, and comedy. It also kind of started my obsession with Bobby Driscoll and his life story... I could probably go on for a while, but probably not make sense the entire time. But does that answer your question at all...?

8. The Fly (1986, David Cronenberg)

"Now, you tell me. Am I different somehow? Is it live or is it Memorex?"

http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/the-fly0.jpg

My dad suggested I watch this during a period in my life in which I was obsessed with Jeff Goldblum. I watched it three or four times before we sent the rental back. And not only because Goldblum is so dreamy, since he only really looks any good for half of the movie. Plus, he has a funny haircut. What gripped me was the realism with which such a fantastic situation was depicted. As a viewer, I could genuinely feel the desperation of a man losing his humanity and fearing for the future (or lack thereof) that he faces as a consequence. Jeff Goldblum, for me, is pitch-perfect in portraying this, and all the other various emotions that Seth Brundle feels in the course of the film. Brundle runs the emotional gamut, experiencing loneliness, love, pure happiness, frustration, jealousy, fear, and desperation, always while trying to maintain his signature flippant wit.

"What does the disease want?"
"It wants to... turn me into something else. That's not too terrible is it? Most people would give anything to be turned into something else."
"Turned into what?"
"Whaddaya think? A fly? Am I becoming a hundred-and-eighty-five-pound fly? No, I'm becoming something that never existed before. I'm becoming... Brundlefly. Don't you think that's worth a Nobel Prize or two?"

Goldblum does all this authentically while at the same time tackling the unique challenge of how to portray the behavior of a man being genetically spliced with a fly and does so beautifully.

http://www.jahsonic.com/TheFly.jpg

"The baby might be all that's left of the real me. Please don't kill me."

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g212/GregKirkman/Stage6.jpg

I was recently watching this with a friend of mine who had never seen it before and seconds before the credits started rolling, he said, "I wish it would end right now." And though the movie ends rather abruptly, so much so that I never really have time to have a proper cry, I feel like I would enjoy the film less if they tried to tie up all the loose ends in a neat bow. I think in some situations it's better not to know everything and this is one of those situations for me.

"I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over... and the insect is awake."

That Cronenberg should get back to such films, I don't have any issues with the kind of movies he is making now.. But the sci-fi/horror/thriller genre needs him badly.

The Prestige

02-14-11, 11:26 PM

Great pick with, Sarah. I adore The Fly and think it's probably the best out of Cronenberg's 'body horror' years. It's visceral and really takes you on an uncomfortable journey with this increasingly grotesque and decaying character. I remember that the very first scene I ever saw of the film was the arm wrestling scene, and I think I must have been around 11 or 12 or something. After that I watched it and was disturbed yet emotionally involved with Goldblum's Brundlefly. If there is any proof that practical effects and make up are some of the most powerful tools in cinema, this film is it.

The film is seen an an analogy for AIDS, much like Carpenter's The Thing and given the year it was released, that's understandable, but I agree with Cronenberg that the film has more going for it than that.

Great job, Sarah.

10. Bullets Over Broadway (1994, Woody Allen)

"Let's say there was a burning building and you could rush in and you could save only one thing: either the last known copy of Shakespeare's plays or some anonymous human being. What would you do?"

http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/5826/20061017010bulletsoverbroadwayka8.jpg

I'm currently in the editing lab in the basement of the School of Cinematic Arts building about to finish capturing the footage from my shoot this weekend, something I've been doing for nearly 6 hours... So I'm having a hard time thinking of what to say. I love Woody Allen. That's something. The fall of my Freshman year of high school I was obsessed with two major Jews: Bob Dylan and Woody Allen. It was hard to pick a favorite amongst his movies though. I've seen a little more than 30 of his films and so many of them are good. Though granted, some not so much. But of all the ones I've seen, there are none that I wouldn't watch again. Bullets Over Broadway is just such a fun movie. And it's one of the few times that Woody had someone else play his character for him and John Cusack takes on the task beautifully. Overall, the cast is vast in its greatness. Dianne Wiest, of course, who won her second Academy award for a Woody movie and Chazz Palminteri are both especially wonderful. But some of the other brilliant performers include Jennifer Tilly, Jim Broadbent, Rob Reiner, Tracey Ullman, Mary Louise Parker, and Jack Warden.

http://www.filez.st/screenshots/79/8596773079_Bullets_Over_Broadway_1994_DVD_RiP.jpg

"Don't speak!"

http://cinemafanatic.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/1994_bullets_over_broadway.jpg

This movie lives and dies on its dialogue. Not to say that it isn't a pretty movie, and I love the 20s costumes and set design, being especially since I'm drawn to that style anyway, but it's the script and performances that are the real centerpieces of this film and in that department, it's just hilarious. Woody seems to be saying with this movie that the better artist is the one that understands his audience better and plays into their desires.

"I studied playrighting with every teacher, I read every book..."
"Let me tell you somethin' about teachers. I hate teachers. Those blue-haired bitches used to whack us with rulers. Forget teachers."

UM... I GUESS THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN HERE...
Hit man Cheech (Palminteri) understands better than anyone in the movie that people love drama, melodrama even, and revises David's (Cusack) play with that in mind, making it a more commercial success with every draft. This idea is mirrored in the film itself, which is ultimately just as much about entertainment as it is about what it means to be an artist. The first and second to last lines of the movie are opposites. David starts the film emphatically stating that he is an artist and ends it just as sure that he is not. But Woody decides to play into a typical audience's desires and instead ends the movie on a wedding proposal rather than this dichotomy, which mirror's the story brilliantly.

"You stand on the brink of greatness. The world will open to you like an oyster. No... not like an oyster. The world will open to you like a magnificent vagina."
