The MoFo Top 100 of the 60s: Countdown

None, as far as which movies remain, in whatever order they eventually show up.

Yup I get it. The same 10 that I predicted. But nothing in this world is written in stone.

Of course, this movie might arrive in first place:



Absolute classic (according to the Kinema Junpo film magazine animation critics pool, it's the greatest animation of the 1960's). I never heard of it before I read that pool.

You can't think of whether or not you thought the last eight would be top 10. You have to imagine any of them not making a list of 100.

My last 8 on the list I submitted won't all be on the top 10, I know that as I included films that I love but apparently no one else did.

Rosemary's Baby was my #15.

Perfect realization by the adapter/director of Ira Levin's novel is probably the greatest Hitchcock film which Hitch didn't direct. The tension is non-stop, the dark humor rampant, the acting incredible, and the visuals and Christopher Komeda's music could scarcely be better. Polanski's mise-en-scene is masterful, creating dread just by hearing a car horn honk or the repetition of an unseen pianist practicing Beethoven. The duality found in the sound effects and character behavior is meticulous and gives sharp viewers many clues in how to interpret what's going on with Rosemary (Mia Farrow), her husband (John Cassavetes) and the other full-blooded characters we see at that creepy apartment building with a past. The film is scary as hell, but all the more so because you can believe that it could happen. Maybe Satan did spawn the baby or maybe these crazy Satan-worshippers want it for their own. You tell me. Which is scarier?

#1. Elmer Gantry (48)
#2. Midnight Cowboy (10)
#3. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (29)
#6. My Fair Lady (40)
#7. Mary Poppins (49)
#9. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (21)
#11. West Side Story (28)
#12. Z (44)
#13. The Innocents (32)
#14. The Manchurian Candidate (34)
#15. Rosemary’s Baby (9)
#18. Planet of the Apes (14)
#22. Spartacus (47)

Or watched.

Rosemary's Baby didn't make my list, but it easily could have. I've only seen it once, and I thought it was a very good, possibly great film. It's becoming the easy option, but really, Mark's post above is spot on. Maybe if I had seen it more recently I would have included it

8. L'Avventura
11. Bonnie and Clyde
12. La Dolce Vita
13. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

23. Onibaba
25. The Manchurian Candidate

I guess I am gonna try one these days, since I am bored of manga already.

I love Rosemary's Baby and had it at #7 on my list! I think I have seen it three times or more and I still love it. One of the best horror movies ever made, while still being subtle and very dramatic. Great atmospheric mystery from Polanski!

I had it on my horror list, of course, here is what I wrote about it:

Rosemary's Baby was #3 on my list. I obviously think it's one of the greatest horror films ever made. Masterfully crafted and truly terrifying.

3. Rosemary's Baby
4. Yojimbo
5. Persona
8. Le Samourai
10. The Virgin Spring
11. For a Few Dollars More
12. Z
14. The Wild Bunch
15. The Battle of Algiers
16. Lolita
17. Breathless
18. A Fistful of Dollars
20. Planet of the Apes
22. Goldfinger
24. To Kill a Mockingbird
25. Death Rides a Horse (one pointer)

Rosemary's Baby is the sh*t, I'm one of the people who had it as #2, and it's one of the seven movies I'd give a perfect five star rating- not from the 60s just overall. Very scary in two or maybe even three perspectives: Cults, Satan, and Paranoia. Very happy with this ranking. Well done MoFos

The Breakdown...



1st (25 points), 3x 2nd (72 points), 2x 3rd (46 points), 2x 4th (44 points), 6th (20 points), 2x 7th (38 points), 8th (18 points), 10th (16 points), 12th (14 points), 13th (13 points), 14th (12 points), 15th (11 points), 16th (10 points), 2x 17th (18 points), 6x 19th (42 points), 20th (6 points), 22nd (4 points), 24th (2 points)



The film was the only to receive its amount of points, so no tie breaking was needed.

Damn, I'm pretty sure I saw someone here who has had three predictions in a row correct now! Impressive!

Anyways, The Apartment is really well made and the concept is nice, but I didn't really feel it, unfortunately... Gonna rewatch it some time though.
