My Top 250 Movies
I excluded documentaries. I've reviewed most of them in "Rate The Last Movie" thread, so I might not say anything, unless someone asks something, or mentions something that gets my attention. I think every movie is political in nature, but even the slightest mention of something is forbidden here, so there goes 80% of my comments. I believe everything has a message - some are just more worthy than others.
I didn't solely depend on my ratings, because that was a moment in time, and the unique will trump those with similar scores. Some movies I haven't seen years, so this is retrospect. I'm still arranging (this is HARD!), but I've been wanting to do a Top 100 for a while. I did a Top 50 years ago on here, and I won't dare look at it until this is complete. If you look closely, you'll see a past date. This is my past review of a movie, posted on the "Last Movie You Watched" thread.. I think I posted on the alternative thread previously, though. I can't get this to work properly.. But here are the last movies I've rated. The very last one on the bottom is #250.

Okay, everyone, time to place your bets on how many of them are from after 1980. I'm going to say...six.

Looking forward to the reveals, Matt. 👍 |

THE MERCHANT OF FOUR SEASONS https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ur_Seasons.jpg It's hard just narrowing down Fassbinder's movies alone! Sometimes I pick the one I remember most when there's a tie in my head. I'm sure part of the arranging of lists had something to do with what I might want to see next (out of the list). Recency bias works a few ways. If I loved a movie I just saw, it's going to make the list. But if I saw a movie many times, and maybe a recent watch, it might slip a spot or two. I spent a TON of time changing my mind... I tried to avoid nostalgia, unless it was tied with something else. |

BLUME IN LOVE https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...oster-1973.jpg I didn't let the low ratings which I saw after viewing this about five years ago change anything. I usually don't like love-triangles, but it must have been Mazursky directing. I don't even remember liking any of the characters, which is usually a turn-off, and I'd rather not watch this in case I'm looking for ways to be overly critical. |
Re: My Top 250 Movies
How many people voted on this list so far? Do you think we can reach 80 ballots?

BEFORE SUNRISE https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ise_poster.jpg I saw this in 2009 after spending almost 5 months in Europe. I've had similar conversations, but nothing that led to this! |
Re: My Top 250 Movies
Before Sunrise is a keen example of perfection found in a unique quality. It's unlike any romance movie I've ever seen.

Have you seen "Sunflower" with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni? |

It's vaguely familiar but no. Thankfully, I'm deciding on more Vittorio De Sica movies to watch, so I'll check it out sometime. |

THE FIFTH MONKEY https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...%28film%29.jpg When someone started the year-by-year favorite movies (after I started with older movies), I noticed how the movies I liked from the 80s-present, were usually not on anyone's list. I think this movie only had barely over 100 IMDB votes, but I would have thought there would be more interest from Ben Kingsley in the leading role. It's a very good movie shot in Brazil. I actually saw this on YouTube after having it on my watch-list for a while. Original title "O Quinto Macaco (1990) |
Re: My Top 250 Movies
I disliked Before Sunrise, I thought the conversation seemed canned and the actors weren't intuitive to each other...instead they spoke at each other. Often they seemed to be focused on their own lines...and not playing off the other person. Especially in the dialogue intense scene in the train during their first meeting.

Fantastic movie.

The Manchurian Candidate is probably my biggest blindspot in film. I need to watch it soon.
