MoFo All Time 100: Ideas and Suggestions
 

Actual Thread: https://www.movieforums.com/communit...ad.php?t=62255

Ok, in keeping with the rules, don't post your actual lists... just ideas, suggestions, etc... for the MoFo All Time 100.
:)

Re: MoFo All Time 100: Ideas and Suggestions
 

One thing I was after myself for consideration, is comedies.
Checking over my own shortlist, I've got a grand total of 0 comedies.

Are there any that'd be considered amongst the best movies of all time?

Annie Hall, It Happened one Night, Duck Soup, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein could easily make any all time list to name a few.

Doctor Strangelove


My biggest suggestion is to look outside of American and British cinema. There's many "foreign" films which are often overlooked in lists like this, namely Faust, War and Peace, The Return, Marketa Lazarova, Harakiri and arguably H-8...

Also don't, under any circumstance, leave out The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

For comedies, don't forget the funniest film ever made.

And this overlooked modern classic

A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
Heathers (1989)
Mean Girls (2004)
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Tropic Thunder (2008)
Easy A (2010)

One of the more interesting things to consider/speculate about, I think, is which really recent films might make it, even if recency bias contributes to it. Don't be surprised if Parasite ends up in the bottom half, for example.

Also -

La La Land (2016)
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Some Like it Hot (1959)
Parasite (2019)

Are all comedies with fair shots.

There's one in particular that's very likely to end up on my ballot at least, but that's not really a recency bias. It's more of a Phoenix bias.

Big Trouble... reminded of Big Lebowski tbh :D
Thanks :D

:up:
I'll need to view this again, thanks man :D

Yeah I was talking to a friend of mine about this and she said she was trying to think of more modern movies I could include when it appeared my shortlist has mainly stuff from the 80s and 90s.
Sadly, there's not that many.

Oh, just wanted to chuck out a director suggestion in Gilliam.
Some of his stuff is hit and miss, other stuff of his is masterful.

After 80s and 90s, FYC

That's a maybe... ^^

Dredd is better ^^ :D

Gonna chuck out some love for foreign language movies actually with what Yods said about Parasite.
Not a huge fan of foreign language movies, but Pan's Labyrinth and Train To Busan defo need a shout out.

Also, foreign language and animation in 1988s Akira even though I'm not a huge fan of animation either :D
Akira often gets overlooked even though it's considered one of the greatest animated movies of all time. I know it caught me out when I first watched it :)

I duno... might spark some ideas for people :)

Just throwing them out there, tbh the most recent title on my ballot right now is 2002 and the other 24 are from the 90s, 80's, 70's plus a couple oldies.
