The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties

[Sexy Celebrity]

Are you serious?

It's a holocaust movie. Genocide happens.

But isn't it in black and white?

[Miss Vicky]

But isn't it in black and white?

Yes... but I don't see how that's relevant.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I shall give it a watch.

[Sexy Celebrity]

What the hell, people? I come here expecting an inbox full of 90's lists and instead all I have is freaking rep - which, by the way, I don't even believe in anymore.

I could PM you some nudie pics of myself if you'd like that.

my superior masculinity!

Overcompensating there, are you Mr. "Mini"-o?

[Mr Minio]

Yeah, I mean it's kinda too big. Had I thought mine is too little my nick would be Mr. Bigo, wouldn't it?

Yes!! Don't shoot me, but 80s >>> 90s
When I started putting my 90s list together, I did the beginning of an 80s list, and yeah, I think it's better, at least at the top.

[Harry Lime]

How about none of you send me pictures? Never ever. Never get out of the boat.

40 lists. Two more and we beat the Millenium list total; three more to surpass the New and Improved Mofo list total.

[gandalf26]

Looks like we are doing an 80s list next.

I'll send you some pics Harry, but be prepared for overwhelming average-ness.

I hope the top 10 is a little more interesting than that, although it probably won't be :p I really don't understand what everyone sees in The Matrix though sorry. For my list I put all the less likely films near the top and the dead certs nearer the bottom to give other films a chance, finally submitted it today :D

I've got to say that I still love The Matrix. And I'm a little surprised to see you say that, maybe I'm getting mixed up but didn't you have it on your own top 150 list?

[JayDee]

Well just went ahead and sent my list in. So don't be surprised if Harry's next post in here is an announcement that he's cancelling the tournament because he's so dismayed by some of my picks! :D

Some of the films that just missed out - The Fugitive, Total Recall, In the Line of Fire, Tremors, Heavenly Creatures, Being John Malkovich etc plus some great films that may make it in the future but that I've only seen once so decided not to include them such as LA Confidential, Unforgiven and True Romance.

[Harry Lime]

Oops. Sorry everyone. Mea culpa.

I did mine more or less the same. I'm pretty happy with my list. There were so many movies that I couldn't include and wanted to, but my final list is pretty varied and a good representation of me, I think.

I'm also not a big fan of The Matrix, but I used to like it a lot more than I do now.

[donniedarko]

List. Sent.

Excited to see the results, I think most of mine will make it, I have less guilty pleasures on this list compared to my Millenium list. With all this strategic voting going on we should have some suprises on the top 20. I just ranked mine by how much I enjoyed them.

I don't think that Fargo will be so high and I hope that Forrest Gump will get some appreciation. :)

[Thursday Next]

You don't think The Shawshank Redemption will make the top 10? It's not on my list but it's generally pretty popular.

[jiraffejustin]

Sending in my list right now.

[Harry Lime]

I don't think that Fargo will be so high...
Oh you don't think so, eh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Je2WxsqWA

Nah, even if it was that high I would never spoil it. Haven't even started adding them up actually.

Anyway, 45 lists! It's a Mofo miracle! Let's hit 50. Five more in two days. It shall be done.

[Brodinski]

AKA most boring possibility of all time

C'est la vie.

[wintertriangles]

Sent my list in. Films I ran out of time to watch :( :

Irma Vep
Cyrano de Bergerac
Prospero's Books
Eternity and a Day

[Brodinski]

One I forgot was L.A. Confidential. That's going to be top 15 at least. I should hope you guys have enough taste to put it up there.

Hey Lime, better get this show on the road pronto. We don't wanna wait 6 months for this ***** to end like that last guy's countdown.

[Masterman]

Ill be happy if half my list makes the top 100 :).

[gandalf26]

I forgot "The Truman Show". Would have scraped into 20-25 somewhere.

[Yoda]

One I forgot was L.A. Confidential. That's going to be top 15 at least. I should hope you guys have enough taste to put it up there.
Yep. It was pretty high on mine. I only got around to seeing it like 4-5 years ago, and when I did I felt dumb for waiting around. So good.

[Miss Vicky]

Yep. It was pretty high on mine.

Same.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

There are four films that I've seen since submitting my list that have really made me regret sending it in so early. I'll say what they are after the final list is revealed.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Get this countdown started immediately. Like, starting tomorrow if you can. And don't take months rolling it out. Use the Sexy Celebrity method and get it done in two days or less.

[teeter_g]

Me too Number 2! I saw a couple not long after I sent it in that made me wish I had waited a little longer.

So how long will it be after the 1st that we see this list? I have never been here when we put up a new, forum made list.

[Yoda]

Get this countdown started immediately. Like, starting tomorrow if you can. And don't take months rolling it out. Use the Sexy Celebrity method and get it done in two days or less.
Maybe something a little in between the two.

[Harry Lime]

It's not going to be a race to get it posted, we want time to dicuss the films. But at the same time I certainly won't be dragging it out like the last guy did!

[Sexy Celebrity]

We don't need to discuss the films. They're 1990s movies. We've had twenty years.

[HitchFan97]

Sent my list! Comprised entirely of English-language movies :eek: Just goes to show my utter ignorance to contemporary foreign cinema. Bummed that I never got to see the Three Colors Trilogy. :shrug:

[JayDee]

Just realised a massive omission from my list. Or two actually. Toy Story 1 + 2. Just I used my current top 100 list and just picked out the 90s films to compile my list. However I have Toy Story 3 on at the moment representing the whole trilogy and forgot to account for the first two. :facepalm:

Didn't include LA Confidential myself as I've only seen it the once and not sure how much of a real favourite it is yet. However it's a tremendous film and should be top 15 at least I would say, and deservedly so

[Harry Lime]

We all forgot movies, don't worry. Actually, I didn't. Anyway 48 lists in - want to hit that magic number 50. Just over 24 hours to go. I fully endorse harassing people at this point.

[jiraffejustin]

48 still seems like a pretty good number. Has an eighties list been confirmed yet? because it has my full support.

And a useless stat: I have only 5 non-English language films on my list. How many of you have more than that?

[Harry Lime]

48 still seems like a pretty good number.
Not good enough!

Just under 24 hours to get your list in. You have been warned.

[Mr Minio]

And a useless stat: I have only 5 non-English language films on my list. How many of you have more than that? 16 non-English films. :cool:

[Thursday Next]

8 non English language films on my list.

[ThomasP]

Just submitted mine.

Only 10 non-English films, surprisingly.

[Sane]

12 non English films.

[wintertriangles]

16 non-English films. :cool:Ah so close I had 15 (unless Leon counts as French)

[Mr Minio]

Could've made it entirely non-English, but I didn't want to omit some great flicks.

[cricket]

0 non English films

I was so friggin drunk in the 90's I could barely understand my own language.

[rauldc14]

Looking at my list, I think it has a chance to get at least 18 films on the list, possibly as many as 22. We will see.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

I have 0 non English films. I didn't start thinking I would like them until fairly recently, so the only one I've ever seen is Holy Motors.

[Skepsis93]

Just one foreign-language film on my list. Seen a few from the 90s, but don't like any of them enough to include them.

[Guaporense]

10 non-English, though might have included more if I had waited a few months.

[linespalsy]

I don't know about you guys, but my list had 25 movies.

[TheUsualSuspect]

Does it matter? Does having more non-English films make the list superior? No.

[Harry Lime]

Does it matter? Does have more non-English films make the list superior? No.
Uh yes, it makes the list superior and the person who made the list cooler.

[Guaporense]

Usually persons from non-English speaking countries have more non-English movies. In this forum we have 3/4 of the users from English speaking countries, however, which helps explaining why English movies are so dominant.

[Miss Vicky]

There was one fewer non-English language film on my 90's list than there was on my Millenium List.

[Thursday Next]

Is it time to start naming and shaming people who haven't submitted their lists yet?

[Mr Minio]

The thing is that most English speakers are lazy and don't even find any need to take a step further and watch some films and pass the language barrier. I can't understand the grumbling about the need of reading subtitles. 98% films I watch have subtitles. Be it English language film with English or Polish subs, or another language film with English subs. I even watch some Polish films with English subtitles, because in some of them sound mixing is pretty lousy and dialogs are hardly audible. Argument saying you can't focus on what's going on the screen, because you have to read is ridiculous. Sadly, that problem also applies to Polish people, who mainly either tend to watch Polish films with (obviously) no subtitles or English films with lector. I know there's a plenty of English language MoFos right here that watch and enjoy foreign films, but it's the mainstream audience I am talking about in this post.

And there's nothing wrong with not having any foreign language films in your top lists. What's wrong is limiting yourself only to one-language flicks ignoring the vast amount of masterpieces from all over the world. Not necessary obscure arthouse.

[Miss Vicky]

Yes.

[Harry Lime]

Might be a little late for any productive shaming, less than 10 hours to submit a list according to my watch.

[rauldc14]

DexterRiley needs to get his list in. I know he has some that would boost some on my list as well.

[Harry Lime]

Send him a message. Although, it's Canada Day so he may not be around.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

I would like to watch more foreign films, but there are still hundreds of mainstream English films that I want to watch before I start exploring more foreign language films.

[Mr Minio]

Perhaps after seeing some foreign films you no longer would want to see so many American films?

[Harry Lime]

I would like to watch more foreign films, but there are still hundreds of mainstream English films that I want to watch before I start exploring more foreign language films.
Have you seen any foreign films?

It's good to diversify your films, man. There are so many different roads to take being a film fan.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

I saw Holy Motors a couple months ago and I really liked it. It's not that I don't expect to like foreign films, and I think it's possible that I would like foreign films as a whole better than I would ever like American films, but American films are more accessible to me right now, and there are several mainstream ones that I still need to see (look at my movie lists to see how few movies I've seen relative to most of you). Holy Motors was the only foreign film that I specifically had a great desire to see, because I had heard a lot of great things about it, especially for a foreign film. I understandably hear more about American films here in America, so that creates more of a desire to see specific American films before I branch into foreign films.

[Harry Lime]

Maybe start off with some of the more popular foreign language films like City of God, Amelie, A Prophet. You might like these, most people do.

[Skepsis93]

Maybe start off with some of the more popular foreign language films like City of God, Amelie, A Prophet. You might like these, most people do.

This is what I did. I'd also recommend Pan's Labyrinth, Battle Royale, Let the Right One In and the OSS 117 movies as an intro to popular foreign cinema.

There is nothing wrong with having foreign language films on your list. I was pointing out the fact that people are comparing their "superiority" by having more "high-class" films because they watch stuff that is not in English.

I myself have a few foreign films, but I'm not saying how many to feel better about myself.

[Daniel M]

I love English language and foreign films, but tend to watch more of the former due to accessibility.

Like TUS points out, what is annoying is these people that act as if they are some how superior or more intelligent by having a more refined taste or one that goes against the norm - Mr Minio is cool, but I think other posters come across a bit like this and happen to rub some people the wrong way because of it.

[Miss Vicky]

There was one fewer non-English language film on my 90's list than there was on my Millenium List.

For the record, the number of non-English language films on my Millenium List was one.

People should watch whatever interests them and like whatever appeals to them. If that includes foreign language films, cool. If not, that's cool too.

For me, one of the biggest things that affects how much I enjoy a film is how well I connect with the characters and I simply find that easier when a movie is in my own language and easier still when the setting is close to home.

[Daniel M]

For me, one of the biggest things that affects how much I enjoy a film is how well I connect with the characters and I simply find that easier when a movie is in my own language and easier still when the setting is close to home.

I think in certain cases this is true. With subtitles I think a lot gets lost in translation often. In a lot of films the development of characters is more reliant on how they say something rather than what they say, and paying attention to subtitles can often cause you to miss the body language/voice of the person, especially when there's a couple of lines of subtitles and you're not exactly sure what matches up. I can imagine comedy is much more effective in your own language too in certain cases.

[Guaporense]

The thing is that most English speakers are lazy and don't even find any need to take a step further and watch some films and pass the language barrier. I can't understand the grumbling about the need of reading subtitles. 98% films I watch have subtitles.

Indeed. I was raised on subtitles but most people here are not used to subtitles so I guess it might be strange for them to read subtitles. Given the huge size of the US entertainment industry and the cost of reading subtitles most Americans rarely have any contact with the entertainment produced on the rest of the planet.

Argument saying you can't focus on what's going on the screen, because you have to read is ridiculous.

Indeed. It's like saying that paying attention to the spoken dialogue makes it hard to focus what's going on the screen.

[Miss Vicky]

Indeed. It's like saying that paying attention to the spoken dialogue makes it hard to focus what's going on the screen.

That's a BS analogy.

I shouldn't even have to explain why, but here goes anyway. When watching a film in your own language, you can watch the action on the screen with your eyes and listen to the dialogue with your ears, all the while being able to pick up on nuance, inflection, tone and facial expressions simultaneously. Whereas watching the action and reading the subtitles at the same time requires your eyes to multi-task. It also means that you may very well be missing out on facial expression, nuance, tone and inflection - all key elements to communication. And that's all assuming that the subtitles are providing you with an accurate translation.

[Yoda]

What Vicky's saying isn't just right--it's obvious. I wouldn't say it's hard to focus on the screen, but it's certainly harder, because all attention is finite. This has nothing to do with one's level of sophistication; it's a simple cognitive reality.

[mark f]

Loads of BS floating around lately.

[wintertriangles]

People should learn more languages just sayin

[Daniel M]

Indeed. It's like saying that paying attention to the spoken dialogue makes it hard to focus what's going on the screen.

[ThomasP]

I usually watch a good foreign film twice because of subtitles; naturally, there are things I miss during the first viewing because I'm looking at the subtitles.

P.S. When I listed the number of foreign films on my list, I was doing it simply because I was surprised how few there were; I definitely need to watch more contemporary foreign films.

[Gabrielle947]

Usually persons from non-English speaking countries have more non-English movies. In this forum we have 3/4 of the users from English speaking countries, however, which helps explaining why English movies are so dominant.
Well,I'm from non-English country and I had two foreign films.I just think that American films owned the 90s.

[BlueLion]

Never mind subtitles, dubbing is what gets on my nerves. At least with subtitles on, you can still hear the original voice of the actor and the original line of the script. Dubbing is like a crime.

Can you imagine, for instance, Samuel L. Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction shouting "English motherf*cker, do you speak it" in another language? One should simply not be allowed to erase Sam Jackson's voice. Or any other actor's. They should just stop doing it, honestly.

Sometimes for a bigger budget foreign film they will use the actual actors to voice the dubbing. Recently watched "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and I'm sure they used some if not all the actual actors. Definitely Michelle Yoah and Chow Yun Phat. Probably not for all the minor characters though.

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan dubbed their own films too I think.

By the way stevo brought us up to 50. I am very proud of all of you, but mostly proud of myself.

Oh I agree. I absolutely will not watch a non-English language film that has been dubbed in English. I find that whole sounds-not-matching- movements thing immensely distracting. I've had that problem too when trying to watch streamed films or films on television where the voice track is out of sync with what's going on on the screen. I end up just turning it off entirely.

When I started putting my 90s list together, I did the beginning of an 80s list, and yeah, I think it's better, at least at the top.


I must not have seen much good from the 80s. If we do that one, I'll really have to catch up.

[jiraffejustin]

I started the "how many foreign films?" hoopla when I asked how people's list looked when it came to non-English language films. It wasn't to start a pissing contest, I was just curious.

Alright, it's July 2nd. Let's get started.

[mark f]

Not Pacific Time. :)

[Guaporense]

I must not have seen much good from the 80s. If we do that one, I'll really have to catch up.

I think that the 1980's is the golden age of genre movies and since I love genre movies, I love the 1980's in terms of movies.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I wish we were about to do a 1980's list. That would be more exciting than the 1990s.

[Guaporense]

Also, I think it takes to much time to make these threads as well. A total of over 5 months to get the list and it will take at least another month for Harry Lime to post the compilation.

[Harry Lime]

This is how we do things around here. It's also going to take a lot longer than a month to post the entire list. This isn't some quick, random tournament; it's our list representing the community and its film tastes and will be added to the Lists section when it's all done.

Sure we could probably go through a whole bunch of these in the same time frame, but that would diminish the appeal and not allow people the proper time to watch and rewatch and contemplate the movies they may want to add. These lists value focus and patience, something I believe is in short supply these days. I hope that whomever does the next one follows the same protocol.

[Harry Lime]

Oh, and with less than 30 minutes to go it's safe to say we got 53 lists in total, Deadite adding the final one. Great stuff. Mind you if someone does get one submitted in the next half hour it will still count.

[Godoggo]

This is how we do things around here. It's also going to take a lot longer than a month to post the entire list. This isn't some quick, random tournament; it's our list representing the community and its film tastes and will be added to the Lists section when it's all done.

Sure we could probably go through a whole bunch of these in the same time frame, but that would diminish the appeal and not allow people the proper time to watch and rewatch and contemplate the movies they may want to add. These lists value focus and patience, something I believe is in short supply these days. I hope that whomever does the next one follows the same protocol.

I strongly second that. I don't want to fly through this list just to get to an 80's list that is rushed and hurried as well. I like the anticipation of having one movie posted a day or two posted every other day. It gives me something to look forward to on the forum.

Plus, I would find it incredibly frustrating wanting to talk about movie #77 but everyone's already talking about movie #55 because the list is going up so fast.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I wanna know everything now. Christmas in July.

Of course, being that I predicted the Top 6 MoFo Millenium movies, maybe I already know all 100 1990's movies already.

[Thursday Next]

Bored of 'foreign' films vs. 'American' films nonsense. Don't forget about British, Irish, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and multi-national films. (And any other non-American English-speaking country I've just offended by leaving off that list...)

I'm keen to see the countdown but I don't think it should be rushed out for the sake of moving on to the next thing. People have taken the time to consider their lists, they should also get the chance to discuss the films and watch the ones they might not have seen. Anyone really impatient to know what the top ten will be can just ask SC. Or Psychic Isaac.

[Mr Minio]

People have taken the time to consider their lists Yeah, took me like five minutes to make that list. :p

[Yoda]

It's Lime's call, but I think it's reasonable for it to take over a month. You could still do 3-4 a day for the first 90 and 2 a day for the top ten and it'd be over in a month and a half.

[Thursday Next]

Yeah, took me like five minutes to make that list. :p


Ok, some people have taken time to consider their lists.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Why hasn't this list started yet?

[Guaporense]

The last movie I watched on your recommendation ended up being about some orphan children literally starving to death. I think I would've been happier living my life without ever having seen that one. So, yeah, I'm not watching this one.

Only Yesterday is from the same director but it is happy. So imagine feeling what you felt inverted. I seriously think you might love it. :) I cried happy tears at the ending of Only Yesterday. Grave of the Fireflies is the only Ghibli movie with a very bad ending (PM has an ambiguous ending).

Anyway, it's nice that you are sensible to Takahata's work.

[Guaporense]

Okay. I understand. I wasn't complaining anyway, just commenting.

[Miss Vicky]

Nope. Still not watching it.

[Harry Lime]

I plan on watching Only Yesterday. Saw Pom Poko recently and enjoyed it enough.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Hurry up with the list, Harry Lime! I'm feeling ni-curious (curious about the nineties list).

[Miss Vicky]

I plan on watching Only Yesterday. Saw Pom Poko recently and enjoyed it enough.


Wait, what? You said earlier in the thread that you'd watched it and didn't like it.

I watched it the other day, what a load of crap, it really sucked. I highly recommend anyone thinking of watching this film as a result of Gua's incessant spamming to reconsider and find a better way to spend that two hours of their life.

Unless you were just trying to push Gua's buttons.

[Harry Lime]

Wait, what? You said earlier in the thread that you'd watched it and didn't like it.

Yeah, I do that sometimes.

CNN is now reporting that Mount Brodinski, the largest inactive gay volcano in the world, has erupted after someone gayed it up too far. No fatalities, though -- the lava, according to the men in the nearby village, is actually, strangely enough, a sweet and tasty source of protein that they say they're all too familiar with.

In humans, yes, but this is volcano semen. It means business. Volcanos need to be big and mighty.

Lotta smoke, no fire. Meh. I'd only go gay for Sergio Martinez.

[Guaporense]

Anyway, I am quite curious to see which movies will make into the 100 - 20th places, the top 20 will be rather predictable, though: Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, T2, The Matrix, Schindler's List, etc.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Only one of those was on my list.

[Guaporense]

The Matrix I presume. :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

Wrong.

[HitchFan97]

He loves Pulp Fiction.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Wrong again. I hadn't rewatched it yet when I sent in my list. At that time, I felt the movie was overrated.

[The Gunslinger45]

I'm thinking of making this my new avatar.

[HitchFan97]

T2 then? I know you hate Goodfellas.

[Miss Vicky]

Two of Guap's predictions made my list.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm sure one of those was Schindler's List (Vicky's).

[rauldc14]

2 made mine as well.

[Harry Lime]

Phew! For a second there I was more than a bit worried about the direction this thread was taking.

[Harry Lime]

Oh yeah, DexterRiley sent in a list about 18 hours past the deadline. What to do...I know that I said no exceptions. Should I leave it up to you guys to decide? Follow my rule?

[donniedarko]

Dexter called me a dick once, so I say leave it out

[Sexy Celebrity]

Depends on what's on his list. If his list helps my movies, go with it. If they don't, trash it.

[mark f]

"We accept you, one of us! Gooble Gobble!"

[Miss Vicky]

yeah sure, why not.

[Harry Lime]

Okay then. Vote either with a +1 to accept the list or a -1 to decline. First to 5 wins.

[Sexy Celebrity]

+1

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

+1

[The Gunslinger45]

+1

[Miss Vicky]

+1

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh dammit. I wanted to be post #666.

[Miss Vicky]

Guaporense - Despite what I said, I ended up watching Only Yesterday.


I didn't like it.

[The Rodent]

Ooh ooh ooh! +1 because I didn't see we were voting for Dexter's list... That makes 6 now... I guess it's def in then.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I bet we just voted in a bunch of dumb movies.

[donniedarko]

It's not like any of those anti-gun documentaries are going to make the final list.

[Harry Lime]

Okay that does it. I'm going to start adding up soon so no more vote-ins. 54 lists in total, amazing.

Oh yeah, and whatever movies SC thinks are dumb are the ones that were on Dexter's list.

[The Rodent]

Can I change my list? I'm bored with it now...

[Harry Lime]

Can I change my list? I'm bored with it now...
Why would you want to do that? It has so many movies that SC thinks are dumb. It has to stay.

[donniedarko]

Dexters list includes but is not limited to:

Madonna: Truth or Dare
Canadian Bacon
Anne Frank Remembered
The War Room
The Big One
Pumping Iron II: The Women

[Nausicaä]

I'm very happy with my list but don't think many will make it onto the Top 100 or at least near the top. :bawling:

Hope I'm wrong.

[Masterman]

When is this list starting?.

[Guaporense]

Guaporense - Despite what I said, I ended up watching Only Yesterday.


I didn't like it.

Did you find it boring?

[mark f]

When is this list starting?.
It was posted already, then deleted. You snooze, you lose.

[Miss Vicky]

Did you find it boring?

Yes, though mostly I found it annoying and I didn't like the storyline at all. I've never been a fan of films that romanticize country life.

[Thursday Next]

I think 6 of mine for sure will make the list, another 4 or 5 have a good chance, and as for the rest, I really don't know.

Edit: Looked at the list again and there's two that haven't got a snowball's chance in hell.

[Guaporense]

My list was very conservative (I included stuff like T2, Schindler's List, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Leon, The Matrix, The Shawshank Redemption) so around 13-14 out of the 25 will probably make it.

[gandalf26]

R. Kelly is that you?

http://www.adambielawski.com/bands/RKelly/RKelly_0501.jpg

Looks like he is trying to attract "Hit Girl", I've heard he likes the young uns.

[teeter_g]

Just looked back on my list I sent end. I think that at least 10 of the movies on there are pretty much a lock. There are a couple that don't have much of a chance though.

[Miss Vicky]

Two of the films I voted for I feel have only a slim chance of making it, two I'm not sure of because I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned on these forums, and the rest I'd be surprised if they didn't make it.

[ThomasP]

7 of my films are guaranteed to make the list.
A lot I'm sure won't.
There is one I'm very curious to see if it will make it.

[gandalf26]

I voted for 25 totally obscure, noir/foreign films, none of which will make the list but at least I will look super cool!:D

[Masterman]

Ime going for atleast 10 of mine will make the list. :)

[The Gunslinger45]

Some of mine will make the list, bit not going to lie, my list was full of mostly action movies. :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

I may only have 5 or 6 from my list make it... definitely less than 10, I'd bet. I'm definitely not counting on having the most this time.

I actually keep wondering if Harry's gonna even have an easy time trying to get 100 movies. I think a lot of people will probably have diverse lists. I wonder if he'll even ask us to give us more movies. Maybe 25 per person isn't enough. Harry? How's it going?

[cricket]

I think I'll have about 15 show up; it's probably the decade when I saw and liked the highest majority of popular movies.

Wouldn't having more diverse lists mean it will be easier to reach 100 films? At 54 lists it won't be a problem hitting 100, there's way more than that (I think) but I'll give a total number of movies voted for at the end.

[Guaporense]

Out of 54 lists, with average of 12 movies making the top 100 means around 500 movies were submitted.

[Pussy Galore]

Most of my list will be on the top I guess, but there is 2 or 3 least known ones

[Guaporense]

The least amount of movies on the top 100, the cooler you are. The largest proportion of non-English films, cooler as well. A very cool person will have 25 movies in non-English and none of them will show up on the top 100.

:D

Yes. :D

Wasn't it obvious?

Nope, the coolest person is the one who has all his films on the list not only non-English, but also non-Earth. Stop earthlings! You shall die from Marsian lazors!!!

It wasn't a list at all actually, I took the cover art and illustrations of all 25 of my favorite 1790s novels and compressed them together into a single image.

Harry I hope you understand it.

[wintertriangles]

If I wanted to read, I'd buy a book not a DVD.Looks like someone hates hybrid media

[jiraffejustin]

I turn the volume off on my television because if I wanted to listen, I would buy 8-tracks.

[The Rodent]

Subtitled films are all instantly forgettable


:D

[mark f]

Better start the list, Lime, because otherwise we're dyin' in here. :)

[Guaporense]

Indeed. :)

Harry Lime is a sadist. He likes to torture the population of this forum.

[rauldc14]

What I like about the 90s is the fact that the oscars got it pretty decently for the most part. At least 8 of the 10 best picture winners are shoo-ins.

[Yoda]

Yeah. I mean, I could quibble with 1994, but they were in an untenable position there.

[Guaporense]

They were better than the 2000's Oscars for sure.

[rauldc14]

Yeah. I mean, I could quibble with 1994, but they were in an untenable position there.

With Gump, Shawshank, and Pulp Fiction it was a tough call. Though I don't like Pulp, that was pretty much everyone's favorite.

[Harry Lime]

Give me more time!

Also, the coolest person is obviously me regardless of what's on my list.

I'm not expecting anything until August. By then, I'll start throwing a fit like everyone else:D

Shawshank Redemption

Better luck next time folks.

Ace Ventura : Pet Detective

[wintertriangles]

I would actually be ok with that

[Skepsis93]

Me too but When Nature Calls is SOOOOO MUCH BETTER YOU GUYS.

[BlueLion]

http://replygif.net/i/154.gif

[rauldc14]

Unless the list is somehow rigged (Lime, don't get any ideas), there's no way Shawshank isn't top 20

[wintertriangles]

But one can still hope

[Guaporense]

That type of kind will probably occur. Probably involving a non-English film:

100th - Satantango
http://www.criticker.com/img/films/posters/Satantango.jpg

99th - Liar Liar
http://www.criticker.com/img/films/posters/Liar_Liar.jpg

[Mr Minio]

Since it's the contest of popularity and quantity and not quality, I'd say Satantango won't even be in the first 100.

[rauldc14]

Not everyone has time for a 7 1/2 hour movie.

[Miss Vicky]

I saw a clip of the cat scene and it made me sick. I know the director claims that the cat wasn't injured and that he adopted it afterward, but I don't care. The cat was clearly frightened and stressed from being thrashed about. I'm not watching the rest.

[Mr Minio]

The cat was clearly frightened and stressed from being thrashed about. I'm not watching the rest. Many actors get frightened or stressed on the stage. Don't watch movies with them, then! Just a little tip for you, if you're sensitive for animal cruelty, don't watch Cannibal Holocaust, because if this scene in Satantango made you sick, CH would make you, well... even sicker.

Actors are there by choice, animals are not.

[Miss Vicky]

Actors are there by choice, animals are not.

Exactly. Actors have a choice. Actors also have some understanding of what is going on and why it's happening. Animals do not.

And I'm well aware of the atrocious cruelty suffered by animals in the name of entertainment for Cannibal Holocaust which is why I have not watched it and never will. But just because the cruelty in CH is far worse than that in Satantango does not make it excusable in either.

ETA: I should also add that just because there was no visible physical injury to the cat, does not mean that it did not suffer pain while being thrashed around.

[Mr Minio]

Call me a bastard, but if such a mild animal cruelty as seen in Satantango would help a director to create a masterpiece such as this movie, he has my yes. I didn't care for animals in HC neither. I am a terrible person, I know.

EDIT: Oh, and don't even start the "but this scene was meaningless and without it the movie wouldn't be significally worse" talk. You don't know director's view and intentions and if he said the cat didn't get hurt I believe him.

[jiraffejustin]

I haven't seen Satantango yet, but I will comment on Cannibal Holocaust. It's still a good movie. I don't guess it was needed, but it doesn't hurt the quality of the movie in my eyes.

[Miss Vicky]

I am a terrible person, I know.

You said it, not me.

[Guaporense]

Since it's the contest of popularity and quantity and not quality, I'd say Satantango won't even be in the first 100.

Indeed. I haven't included it into my top 25 of the 1990's since I only watched it recently.

[Mr Minio]

Well, in one of your favorite films ever, Gladiator, there have been some minor animal cruelty accidents too, I guess. These horses and tigers must have been stressed and frightened of Russell Crowe and his big muscles!

[Miss Vicky]

Cite your sources. Also an accident is quite different from deliberate abuse.

[Guaporense]

Anyway, Vicky would certainly hate Satantango, with or without animal cruelty.

[meatwadsprite]

I saw a clip of the cat scene and it made me sick.

Then explain your third favorite movie

Even though he's smiling. He isn't happy.

[mark f]

I heard director Brad Bird adopted him too when Peter O'Toole wouldn't.

[Cobpyth]

Apocalypse Now features the slaughter of a water buffalo. Does that make it scandalous?

I consider myself an animal lover. I've known cats and dogs all my life and they've been in my family for as long as I can remember and I always had a very good relationships with all the pets.

I personally don't mind that kind of scenes. It's just part of reality. Animals can handle a lot by the way. That scene in Satantango won't hurt the cat emotionally at all, trust me. I think you're going a little too far here in saying that this is abuse. It's not, in my opinion.

It's another thing when a police officer is killing a perfectly healthy domestic dog for no reason, of course...

Then again I have to say I'm pretty ambiguous in my principles. Strangely enough, I don't really mind certain asian cultures eating dogs, for instance. I consider it part of a very long tradition. I am a huge carnivore myself and love all kind of meats! I never really think about the animals in that kind of situations.

I'm just not a guy with very firm and consistent morals, I guess. At least, not when it comes down to animals. Maybe these morals will grow on me as time goes by or maybe they won't...
