Re: The Movie Forums Top 100 Comedies Countdown

OK so neither 40-Year Old Virgin nor Pee Wee's Big Adventure made my list - or my alternates, but they are both fantastic choices. I think there are funnier Apatow movies, but 40-Year Old Virgin was...

Re: The Movie Forum's Top 100 Comedies Countdown

Getting here a bit late, I've seen all of these, but only one film on my list so far, #98, The Lady Eve, a brilliant and charming Sturges I strongly recommend.

I adore Sullivan's Travels and...

House (1977) - can't find it on the site

I've tried the Japanese title (Hansu) as well and can't find it under either. Is there a trick to doing it or is it just not here?

Amazing film, btw. Easily the most insane film I've ever seen -...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown

Well, at least #2 and #1 were reasonable, even if I didn't have Seven Samurai on my list (great film, sure, but maybe my #4 Kurosawa). #2 was my #2 as well, so that's cool. Complete list follows:

Wow. Parasite, huh? Great movie but talk about recency bias... not on my list. Neither was the Seventh Seal, not even in the top 5 Bergman films. Yikes.
