Re: MoFo All Time 100: Ideas and Suggestions
 
It is kind of weird to go back to the 2010 list and see an almost complete absence of foreign films (i.e. films not made in English so I'm technically including both Leone films there) - pretty sure you can count them on one hand. You get a couple of the IMDb-level canon picks like City of God or Amelie, but Sonatine is one of the list's biggest wild-card picks (though I wonder if it's liable to make it in a second time - I could do with revisiting it to see how it holds up, that's for sure).

Just as long as it's not Crystal Skulls.

Then that’s the one you should vote for. There’s a good chance it’ll get my vote.

WARNING: The following clip has swears and also (very brief, very comedic!) nudity and also it's a scene from the end of the film.

Are all comedies with fair shots.
Glad someone mentioned this classic. Should be on any top 100 list for sure!

Some like it Hot should make this list!

Some Like it Hot would definitely be in my top 100... but would it be in my top 25? Just don't have room for all my favourite films. Although that is part of the fun.

This is a bit of a different countdown in that I won't be watching anything new specifically 'for the list'. I will however be rewatching some films to see how much I still like them. I'm not going to put anything on my list that I haven't seen more than once.

Same. On all of the above.
I jotted down a list which was around 30 or so before I started to whittle it down to 25.
I didn’t select any film I haven’t seen twice at the least, and I haven’t selected any film from the last 20 years.

I hope there's still room enough for this:

Vivacious lady, not sure it's top 100 material but i love it, Bringing up baby has a better shout though.

I love world cinema, most of my favourite films of the last 20 years are foreign films. Pans Labyrinth, R-Point, Downfall, The Host and Angel-A would make my list these days.
