Good work. Are they definitive lists? Or are you open to suggestions for additions?

Some are personal favorites (so, until I see a new great movie it won't get in), some are favorites along with some highly regarded classics that I look forward to see (I'd really love suggestions there), and some have 100 entries already and having to add one more would really piss me off. But all are matters of discussion anyway. (Also if they could encourage the making and display of alternative lists, it would be great.) |
Re: This flicker person sure likes custom lists.
Also, here's an attempt at a list of Sherlock Holmes movies (featuring direct versions of Sherlock Holmes himself, that is, no cousin, descendant, impersonators, etc). Handy to keep track of the watched ones :

Sherlock; Thinking of it, it was immensely dumb of them to not have made even one big screen movie with Brett. (And there was also a nice-looking tv series with Peter Cushing, that I haven't mentioned in that list. It's tough. But I don't really wish to open the tv can of worms and flood the list with tv shows...)

Also yes, I was missing two thirds of the Rathbone/Bruce films. For the sake of exhaustivity, I also added Enola Holmes (Cavill) and, very reluctantly, Holmes & Watson (Ferrell). I preferred concluding the list with Mr Holmes (McKellen). :( |
Spoiler alert : Here are 60 extra-terrestrial manifestations on Earth.
https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/292 Maybe don't check it if you wish to preserve the "it was aliens all along" twist of some movies ? |
At some point in going to have to check out these lists

I've used this thread :
https://www.movieforums.com/communit...ad.php?t=43199 to flesh out my list of movies taking place under the surface of the sea : https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/299 Also I've tried to make a general top 100, but I only reached 75 movies. Adding others would broaden the quality range to include even harder to hierarchize "merely very good" movies, in unmanageable quantities. So, instead, just my favorite among my favorite : https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/297 I'm updating the OP. Also, I've integrated to my spy list the films that are mentioned at the "movies" entry of Norman Polmar and Thomas B. Allen's Encyclopedia of Espionage (1997). _____ Edit : Added some snow. https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/304 And some favorite french films. https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/309 Surprisingly too many of these. |
Re: This flicker person sure likes custom lists.
I've been trying to import Cinefix's precious lists on MoFo, because I really like Cinefix lists. But... I found out that their "top 10" movie lists often mention more than a hundred films, so, not many can be turned into custom lists. For Instance, i started their "top 10 most uplifing movies" before realizing they were around 160...
Anyway, I'll post the ones I do and that stay reasonably below 100, as, hm, most "top 10" lists should. Ideally. Cinefix's 50 favorite movies of all times (15.03.16) https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/311 Cinefix's Top 100 Most Talked About Movies (28.05.2018) https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/308 Cinefix's Top Spy Movies (26.05.21) https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/296 Cinefix's Favorite Rule Breaking Films (24.05.16) https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/312 Cinefix's Top Science-Fiction Films of All Time (14.06.17) https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/313 |

https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/308 On the Cinefix's Top 100 Most Talked About Movies (28.05.2018) list, the movie 12 Angry Men is listed as 1954. The 1954 version is a live Studio One version, not the movie. The movie version is 1957. |

Re: This flicker person sure likes custom lists.
For the italian westerns afficionados, the website www.spaghetti-western.net has a top 40 (actually a top 20 plus another, lesser, top 20) of "essential spaghetti westerns".
If you want to track those, I've copied them to that custom list : https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/318 |
Re: This flicker person sure likes custom lists.
just went through these again and did a quick, and minor update.
