Caity's Top 100.…
 

I almost accidentally deleted my list off my pc so decided I'd better post it… even though, with the exception of my top ten… eleven though one hundred are not in any particular order….

And, I will probably be changing out a few along the way as I re-watch a few movies I couldn't decide on and watch I few I've yet to see…. Oh, and yes, I know some of the movies on my list are crap… but I still like 'em… :D


So... I guess I'll start at 100 since you guys already know what 1 through 10 are.... :)

I don't know if we are ready for these people. Our country is all that we have, and we will fight to keep it.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

This is really rolling along, and it's all the more impressive for it. Now, I hope that I'm not interpreted as being sexist (I'm honestly trying not to be, and even more honestly, I don't believe I am), but at the other sites I post at, it's mostly a bunch of guys making lists, ostensibly to somehow remedy some personal...um...something or other. OR maybe, guys just like lists much more than women...

So, anyway, I'm impressed that you are putting up this list, not only all at once, but it's very personal, and no way, I don't see anything bad. I don't see a single film I wouldn't tell my daughter to watch.

OK, I hope I didn't infringe too much on your thread with my anecdotes. Sorry if I did.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Very Nice list: 2 outta 3 make my top list. I would like to see a more in-depth critque fom you on the top 20 or so.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

What can I say?

These lists reveal a lot to me about MoFolks and, as I'm a nosy sod, I can't get enough of them.

I loved this one, especially as there are loads of Westerns on it.

Thanks Caity. :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Let's just say they're not the kind of movies you really expect to see on a list that also features movies such as Once Upon a Time in the West or the Godfather movies.

Still, proves just how personal the list really is.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Interesting list, love a lot of your picks like The Crow and Dead Man being so high and also guessing several are guilty pleasures since i've never heard of some, so got even more films to check out.

Few questions, have you seen Infernal Affairs because i think it's far better than The Departed and definitely worth a watch if you rate that film so high. And seen the good Crash (Cronenberg, 1996) or many other ensemble films like Magnolia or Nashville?

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks… I'll see what I can do about the top 20 when time allows… but would love to see your list… hint - hint - hint… ;)



Thanks Tatty… I do love westerns… as long as they're not full of Hollywood Indians… I really had a hard time deciding on which westerns to include… and after looking over the list this morning, realize I should have squeezed in 3:10 To Yuma somewhere… but now I'm worried about just what my list did reveal… :suspicious: ;)



Thanks again Iroquois… this list is personal…and will evolve from time to time… but I think The Boondock Saints, Highlander, and Desperado will always find a place on my list… maybe not always in the top 100 but definitely in the top 200.... :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

How did I know what Cait's Numero Uno was going to be? ;)

Alas, this list is just more reason for me to fall head over heels for Caitlyn...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks for the list, Caitlyn. It was very interesting. :yup:

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks Pyro… I was hooked the first time I saw The Crow and Dead Man and think they are both often overlooked/underrated… and yes, several films are guilty pleasures. Which ones are new to you?

Infernal Affairs is on my "too see" list… and I've not seen Crash (1996), Magnolia, or Nashville either… or at least not all of Magnolia… but will add them to my "to see" list… which is getting longer and longer and longer… :D

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Just saw Crash a couple days ago. Get ready for some dark stuff...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

The movie "Godfather" I think will rule among other crime related film.. Two thumbs up for Coppola! :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

How on earth you figured out my Numero Uno is a mystery… :p
as for your other comment… :blush:

:D



Thanks Sinny…. And I'm looking forward to reading your list…. :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Wow! You've been busy!!

A fine list, a great list. Not that it would be at all identical to my top 100 but because it's personal, it's really Cait. It feels like all the selections are really motivated. I was really surprised to find Dances With Wolves as far down as number 60 though! I always thought it was on your top 10 or at least top 20....

I like it that you put The Wind That Shakes the Barley that high on your list. In my opinion one of the best films the last couple of years. I loved it. And I really don't think you've thanked me enough for making you watch The Seventh Seal.... ;)

Great list, Cait!

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Congratulations on finishing and posting your list. It's a great one. I can see several I will be adding to my queue.

To reward your hard work:

Splendid list and great variety too. I've gained a newer appreciation for Westerns since we took our very first driving/camping trip to Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota for two weeks this summer and you've stoked me to check out some on your list I haven't seen.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

For thee my lord thee..


and I can only respond to that movie in two words: HELL YES!

or that it is the best action movie ever made, excluding Die Hard

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Damn woman, I didn't even know you made a list. Great job! I still never finished mine from, oh, 3 years ago I think LOL.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks guys.... I decided the other night to re-watch every movie on my list and decide exactly where they need to be now because there are a few I want to bump up....

Anywho... Gummie you need to finish your list... and I'd love to read one from the rest of you too.... 'Tis a good way to add to my "to see list"... :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

ur list totally rocks!! i saw several movies i even like and some i had forgotten... i am going to work on my top 100 after i go back to sleep....

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks... I know some of them are pretty bad but I still love them... :D

Can't wait to read your list....

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

1/10 of these movies are good. (Though I haven't seen about half the list - which don't interest me at all)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

That's pretty understandable since a lot of the movies on my list are rated R...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I don't think you can legitimately say a tenth are good, if you haven't even seen half of them. I mean, I only got a C in statistics, but something about that just doesn't add up...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks - 1/5

Redundant

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Nice job Caitlyn! Very interesting top 10.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks.... glad you enjoyed my crazy list.... :) As for my top ten, I've been told it surprised a few people but am not totally sure what they meant...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I meant that it was refreshing, those are not movies you see on a typical top 10 list, but then again Caitlyn, you are anything but typical. I, of course, mean that in a good way! :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Lovely list Caity. I'd never heard of Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story, but it sounds interesting. The director Michael Apted is famous here in the UK for his tv work and specially for his 7 Up series that followed children every 7 years from 1964.

I like the range of your list too and the fact that you have films from all over and right back to the silent films :)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I just watched Boondock Saints this week and loved it, :yup: I am going to buy it as I want to watch it again, and again. :goof:

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I'd never even hear dof Boondock Saints till I came here. Got me intrigued now !

Re: Caity's Top 100.…

No difference in the wimpy version vs. the manly version, just GREAT special features

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Nebbit and I live in Australia. All we get are wimpy versions. :p

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Really? I thought Aussies were like the ones using boomerangs for remote controls? I tried that and broke a TV and my nose on one throw.:p


;)

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Heh, you should try coming here and see how many people throw boomerangs at all (it's not as many as you would think).

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I hated Infernal Affairs and love The Departed.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Which one did you see first? I saw Infernal Affairs first and prefer it to The Departed.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I saw Infernal Affairs first as well and hated it : it's close to impossible to follow the story with subtitles.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I found Departed harder to follow because apparently they needed to throw in a load of gangsters and cops trash-talking each other in order to sound edgy, but in the end that was just confusing. If I hadn't seen Infernal Affairs, I'd probably have no idea what was going on half the time.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Thanks… I'm glad you enjoyed my list… Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story is a very interesting documentary about the events that led up to the imprisonment of American Indian Movement member, Leonard Peltier. Convicted of the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in the 70‘s, Peltier is serving two life sentences in Leavenworth… but has always claimed he was innocent. Amnesty International lawyers have studied his case extensively and he has been labeled a political prisoner by not only them but the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Congress of American Indians, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu as well…

The idea for the documentary was Robert Redford's and he talked Michael Apted into climbing on board while he was shooting Thunderheart… which is a fictitious account of the events that took place on Pine Ridge in the 1970's...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

hahaha! owned, he had it coming though.

i haven't been on here that long but i've seen no mention of Interview with a Vampire which is one of my favorite movies and book so yay for that!

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Wow, I love your list. Ha. Got some really great ones in there.

I haven't seen Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula in the longest time. Interesting to see it has a place on your list.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Super distinctive list. Enjoyed looking threw your choices. Huge props for including

Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story (1992, Michael Apted)
Thunderheart (1992, Michael Apted)
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976, Clint Eastwood)
Lethal Weapon (1987, Richard Donner)
A Time to Kill (1996, Joel Schumacher )
Stir of Echoes (1999, David Koepp)
Bullitt (1968, Peter Yates)
In the Name of the Father (1993, Jim Sheridan)
Predator (1987, John McTiernan)

The Princess Bride (1987, Rob Reiner) - As far as Fantasy’s go this is the most well rounded.

Henry V (1989, Kenneth Branagh ) - I love it. Branagh doing his best to out do Sir Laurence Oliver’s take on Shakespeare.

Almost Famous (2000, Cameron Crowe) - What seems like Forever I would have said Say Anything is Crowe Best but, once I saw this no longer.

Se7en (1995) - I don’t think this has been forgotten by any means but it doesn’t seem to get as much interest as Fight Club, Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Maybe it’s age it’s now one of Fincher’s older films

Rob Roy (1995, Michael Caton-Jones)
Aliens (1986, James Cameron)

Recently Rewatched both of these films. Aliens remembered as not being all that great of an overall film though the action was immersive. Rob Roy as being a film I adore. I can safely say now I adore Rob Roy even more and Aliens has now become an all time favourite.

In terms of recommendations or if you’ve seen these would love to know your take on them. Michael Caton-Jones made a great WWII film called Memphis Belle and star of Rob Roy Liam Nesson made this nice little british thriller called Under Suspicion (1991)
Both I think you’d really like.

Would love to get any info on these films all have been put on my too see list
Paradise Road (1997, Bruce Beresford)
Some Mother’s Son (1996, Terry George)
Big Fish (2003, Tim Burton)

I'm glad you enjoyed my list... I've been thinking about redoing it as there are a few films I'd like to add... but all the films you listed would definitely still be included...

I've only seen a few minutes of Memphis Belle and haven't seen any of Under Suspicion so am adding both of them to my "to see" list... thanks for the recommendations...


I hope you enjoy the 3 films you added to your to see list…

Paradise Road is an excellent film that, as far as I'm concerned, should be required viewing in many history classes... Most of the movies I'd ever seen about WWII concentration camps pertained to Hitler and the Jews until I saw Paradise Road... when I found out it was based on the testimony of dozens of English and Dutch women who actually survived a Japanese concentration camp for women, it just made it all the more special to me... hope you enjoy it.

Not sure what to say about Big Fish… other than it's a wonderful little story/fairy tale about a son discovering his father was not exactly what he had always thought he was... Hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

As far as I know, Some Mother's Son is not out of DVD yet... which is a shame as it is an awesome film... I actually wrote a review for it once upon a time that you might like to read…

Some Mother's Son

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Just looked at the list in full Caity. It's interesting because I haven't really seen a lot of your favorites. I'm probably going to use this list as ideas for new movies to watch starting with Josey Wales and Once Upon a Time in the West

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Caitlyn you have quite a few great films on your list.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Damn, Caitlyn, I think I probably like around half of your list. That's almost unheard of for me to like that many. You must have terrible taste. ;):D

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Great list, Caitlyn. I know I've gone through it before but I'm sure it was when I went through all the lists in one night so they kind of all melded together. Really liking a lot of your picks, as well as seeing a few surprise additions here and there. I don't think I've seen Rob Roy, gonna have to check it out sometime in the near future seeing as it's one of the few I haven't seen on your list and you have it rated so high.

Of course, I don't think you can go wrong with either of those... thanks for checking my list and I'd love to know what you think of those two and any others you decide to check out... :)


Thanks Juno, I've been playing with the idea of redoing it because there are several films I'd like to add... but it's hard to decide what would have to go to keep it at 100... I guess I just need to re-watch all of them to decide... :D

Oh wow, thank you.... this definitely has my curiosity up... list please... :D

Thanks Harry... Rob Roy is a great film that, as I recall, was pretty much overlooked at the time because it was released around the same time Braveheart was... and, when I do get around to redoing my list, it will probably rank a little better on it than Braveheart does now... anyway, I'd love to know what you think of it... :)

Before release, Rob Roy was the 'good' film with the good actors and script, while 'Braveheart' the one with the shoddy script. Amazing what hype and popularity can do, isn't it?

Caitlyn, I'm working on it. I've almost got the 100 films, but I'm struggling to get from 120 to 100. Then, of course, I've got to rate them. :eek:

One day I will stun you all and put up a list. :D

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

OMG!! this list is so awesome...

Makes me want to see the rest of the movies which I haven't yet.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

One of the best list on MoFo.

Australian Woman, too!

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I've seen most of your list.. & guess what many of thse should be on my list as well..
How could I have forgotten Dead Man.

Hope the following statement doesn't make you feel bad in anyway.. but we have a similar taste in movies..

& like I said above... I have to see the ones ones I haven't yet.. coz I I feel I am guaranteed to like them.

Doesn't bother me at all... I'm always happy when someone else likes a lot of the same films I do because, with the exception of my dad and brother, very few people I know in real life like the ones I do... :D

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I was actually looking for MoFo list to watch movies based on it..
Was thinking of GirlWhoHadAllTheLuck's list, coz she has lots of romantic/classic films which I am not much familiar with..

I guess I'll start with your list first.. GWHATL's list goes second.

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I've watched 9 and a bit (really need to watch the rest of Shakespeare in Love).

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

The Magdalene Sisters - What a powerful movie! I've seen it 3 times and everytime I am so moved, for the simple fact....it happened.

Very nice list and this is a very good movie. Do I detect an affinity for movies about Native Americans? If so, you may like Smoke Signals (1998) and Edge of America (2003) -- both by Chris Eyre.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120321/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363587/

Thank you... :) and you are correct. I do have an affinity for Native American films... and love Chris Eyre... and his films... it could have something to do with the wee fact that I'm half Tsalagi... ;) :D


It's nice to find someone else who has seen Skins... and enjoyed it... :) I actually wrote a review on it that is posted on MoFos somewhere...

Is that a sub-tribe of Cherokee or just another (correct) name for Cherokee?

I enjoyed it very much. Your #1 movie is the first time I ever saw Wes Studi (Magua). While most people find his character incredibly evil, I always understood his reasoning. I read the Cooper stories as a kid.

Have you seen Eyre's short film A Thousand Roads (2005)? If so, did you like it? I haven't seen it yet.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407254/

Our original name is Aniyunwiya... which means 'The People'... Cherokee is actually a Creek word that means 'people who speak different'.... the Europeans picked it up years ago, and from then on, most people called us by that name... We call ourselves Tsalagi... :)


Okay... this really made me smile... To me, there was a lot more to Magua and I've never seen him as the bad guy... we had a small discussion about The Last of the Mohicans in the Ethnic/Racial Movies thread you might like to read...

No, I need to order that one but just keep forgetting to... I've heard really good things about it though...

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Such an amazing list of movies :D, out of your movies these are the ones I've seen, the ones in bold are some of my favourite movies:

The Quick and the Dead
The Breakfast Club
Sense and Sensibility
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
The Departed
Blood Diamond
Rabbit-Proof Fence

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Caitlyn ur avatar is scary ass f****

I wonder why they're your favourites.

Wow... you've only seen seven on my list? You should really check out a few of them... especially Benny and Joon and Amélie... I think you would like both of them... :)

I know... I love it... :D


:p :D

I knew someone was going to say something about that :laugh:

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

The Magdalene Sisters good choice and many others.

I love your list! A lot of fun, offbeat interesting choices and not the same films that you see on everyone else's lists...I literally screamed when I saw #100 was Westworld...I absolutely love that movie and you don't see a lot of discussion about it on these boards. It was also great to see Crash on your list...I couldn't believe you had Benny and Joon on there and I also screamed when I saw Edward Scissorhands in your top 10. Awesome list!

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

I miss Caity... :(

Re: Caity's Top 100.…
 

Yeah, me too. I know that, all things considered, it would seem unlikely that the unthinkable happened, but given that there was no buildup at all and not so much as a peep since, it's hard not to think that. Hopefully it's just us that's missing her and not everyone.
