It is surprising. I love both of those films, and re-watch them periodically, but neither made my top 25.

Yeah, I had to keep reminding myself of the criterion for the poll: that it was a "favorites" list, not a "best made" films list. IMO there are only 8-10 movies in the top 25 that would likely be...

I stated at the beginning, and I'd like to reiterate now what a great job both Yoda and TUS did on this countdown. It takes a lot of work and a certain measure of selflessness to dedicate the time...

Casablanca is a deserving entry for the top 25 (and also the best 25). I had it at #12. Although it's one of my favorite films of all time, I've never written about it

There are so many...

I had it at #22. It's a good film-- quirky story and innovative dialogue. I think Sam Jackson's character was good enough that he more or less acted the same character in most of the movies he's...

Yes, "Raiders" sure took a lot from "Secret". As I recall, even Indy's Hat and garb were the same as Heston's. Spielberg definitely amped up the style a little though.

I remember seeing serials...

I thought that The Steel Trap (1952) was well done. Cotten plays a bank employee who steals $1M from a bank and wants to lamb it to Brazil. His wife (Theresa Wright) isn't aware what he's done...

Heh. I recall seeing "Meow" some years ago, but I don't remember much about it, except that we were interested in seeing if Eddie Izzard could act.

It's nice to see Citizen Kane in the top 10. I have it as #1. The Bogdanovich and Ebert docs are illuminating, as they point out not only the weight of the story, but how earth shakingly innovative...

Good points, and an excellent vid find, TR. I was completely knocked out by JR when it came out. The vid explains the subtleties of Spielberg's direction and superb cinematography-- the artistry of...

I was with MOI from 1968-1970. The Zappa documentary was well done. Here is my commentary:

It was a song called "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" by Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, from an album we did in 1972 for Warner Reprise called Clear Spot. I played drums on it.

Quite a comprehensive commentary, Mark! It wasn't in my top 25, but likely would have been soon after.

Chinatown is certainly a film noir. Along with the aspects you mentioned, two of my...

I sympathize with you..:) There are not 18 better made films than Vertigo. I personally put it at #2. But --to keep from banging your head against the wall-- keep in mind that this is pretty much a...

Was Stalker used as a template for a fairly recent TV series? Can't recall the series' name, but Stalker's premise sounds familiar.
