Thomas P's Top 100

[ThomasP]

Although I doubt many will be interested, I am going to make a top 100 list. By "top," I'm pretty sure I mean favourite, so just assume this is a list of favourites. (P.S. I'll write about each film when I break into the top 50.)

100. UN CHIEN ANDALOU (Luis Buñuel, 1929)

Cool! +356 rep points to you.

From your first set there I love Juno and Inglourious Basterds. I saw Un Chien Andalou but I have no idea if I like it or not.

[Daniel M]

Juno I thought was really good when I saw it, but haven't thought much about it since. I absolutely love Inglourious Basterds. Un Chien Andalou I have been meaning to watch for a while, want to watch Bunuel's films, and short/experimental films in general. Not heard of Hoop Dreams I'm afraid, but The Maltese Falcon is pretty high up on my watch list as are a few other John Huston films, got The Treasure of Sierra Madre ready to watch so if I like it I'll probably try and watch TMF soon after :)

[Cobpyth]

Inglourious Basterds :up: :up:
Maltese Falcon :up: :up:

I think Juno was ok (not very special, though), but the last time I saw it was in 2007 in the cinema.

The first set is very diversified. Nice!

[seanc]

Love Basterds and Hoop Dreams.

[jiraffejustin]

Great choice with Un Chien Andalou. I love it when that movie gets credit it deserves.

[Miss Vicky]

Love Basterds.

Juno is good but I didn't think it was anything special.

[donniedarko]

Bastards :up:
Un Chien Andalou :up::up::up:

[honeykid]

Hoop Dreams is a great documentary. :up:

[HitchFan97]

Love Basterds, like The Maltese Falcon, no idea what I think of Un Chien Andalou. Nice set!

[Gabrielle947]

Un Chien Andalou isn't my type but considering it's one of the first surreal films and it's made in '29,it is really a quality short film.
I love Inglorious Basterds but Juno seemed like typical and forgetable film.

[ThomasP]

I think the only choice I need to explain thus far is Juno: I didn't find it funnier than films like Superbad, necessarily, but I do think it speaks a lot about quite deep issues. That, and I love Ellen Page.

95. A CITY OF SADNESS (Hou Hsiao-hsien, 1989)

91. CLOSE-UP (Abbas Kiarostami, 1990)
http://oi48.tinypic.com/8ythxx.jpg

[donniedarko]

North by Northwest and Drive are both highly entertaining films. Love the shotgun scene in Drive.

[seanc]

Love Drive. Really liked Close-Up, more Kiarostami to come?

[HitchFan97]

I just re-watched North by Northwest tonight for the first time in two years and absolutely loved it. Definitely one of Hitchcock's best. :up:

[TokeZa]

Very nice set. Especially nice to see A City of Sadness and Close-up!

[ThomasP]

[jiraffejustin]

Some really good choices so far. I like where this list is going. Thomas P, you are alright.

[HitchFan97]

Yes! Great to see some love for Cassavetes. The Shining is a major favorite as well.

[Cobpyth]

I love your style!

[ThomasP]

I love your style!

Much appreciated!

[donniedarko]

Love The Shining, Woman Under the Imfluence has its strong points, but it wasn't one that I personally liked.

[honeykid]

Well, at least you've got Seven Samurai on here.

[ThomasP]

Well, at least you've got Seven Samurai on here.

Don't quite get the meaning behind this.

[honeykid]

It means I don't care for the rest.

[ThomasP]

Nice to know.

[fuze931]

Great list so far, my faves are Basterds and The Shining, also loved Hoop Dreams.

[ThomasP]

Sorry for not posting sooner; busy weeknd.

82. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (Lewis Milestone, 1930)
http://oi47.tinypic.com/2rhaf42.jpg

81. PSYCHO (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)
http://oi50.tinypic.com/281huma.jpg

[rauldc14]

High props for Psycho above all else. I did enjoy All Quiet on the Western Front and I appreciate the film for its historical significance. M was a solid film and would probably catch my top 250, but not my top 100.

[Mr Minio]

M and Psycho are both remarkable pieces of work!

[HitchFan97]

Love Psycho, haven't seen the rest.

[Daniel M]

Drive is great, Psycho, North by Northwest and The Shining are all brilliant films. The rest I have not seen, so far really good list :up:

[honeykid]

+ rep for M, Psycho and All Quiet On The Western Front. :up:

[Guaporense]

This is the most black and white list on the site, for far.

Many of the classics that constitute the canon of classic cinema can be seen there. Such as Seven Samurai, Psycho, M, The Leopard and All Quiet in the Western Front.

[jiraffejustin]

Obviously some of the other choices are great, but I don't see many people showing love for Early Summer. Kudos.

[ThomasP]

Yet again, I'm sorry for the holdup.
