The Movie Forums Top 100 of All-Time Refresh: Countdown

I started Tanner 88 earlier in the year, but it didn't hold my interest. I had every intention of going back, but just didn't. Maybe next election cycle

"Tanner '88" is very dated, of course. What it had to say in the Gary Hart election cycle was nicely done and a relatively subtle satire, but politics have become so much of a circus now that it seems quaint and dull by comparison. Gary Hart having an extra-marital affair these days would barely register on the 24-hour news cycle unless it was with a Kardashian and it was live-streamed or TikToked. Any episode of "Veep" is eight times as caustic and funnier than "Tanner '88".

The Night of the Hunter was on my list! One of the greatest movies ever made.

I know Spirited Away is a favorite of several of my fellow RT/Corrie refugees, so I think it has a chance.

Love North by Northwest. Did not vote for it though.

Still not seen Night of the Hunter...

I have three clear favorite Hitchcock films, and since I wanted to limit my list to one film per director (with one notable exception), I had to choose which Hitch film to go with, and after going back and forth multiple times I finally decided to go with the notably lighter and funner film, North by Northwest, which I had at #3. It could have been Rear Window just as easily, or even Shadow of a Doubt. North by Northwest is a film I grew up on. It was on television a lot in the 70s when I was a young kid and if I saw it was on, I never failed to watch it, whether it was just starting or had only a half-hour left. And obviously, it's where I got my username from.

My List:
3. North by Northwest (#57)
15. Metropolis (#73)
21. Enter the Dragon (#97)
24. There Will Be Blood (#60)

I think it's gained following since 10 years ago too. We will see

Odds Against Tomorrow

I liked Tanner '88, but I do fear that it's of its time. Michael Murphy and Pamela Reed were fine. The use of various cameos never felt over the top.

In our next two films, a stiff breeze blows.
But in different ways, for each of those.

In the first he comes, and will return.
While the second goes, and passions churn.

At different ends, they get down low.
Both looking forward, to tomorrow.

It's just like having our very own Keats in the house innit

Gone With The Wind

. . . . . . . and

. . . Kaze tachinu

Maybe In The Mood For Love for one of them. That would be sweetness

The Thing
The Shining
