Top 10 favorite movies

you've got to be bull****ting me the original eo eleven was way better than the 01 flick

Nope.

As much as I love Magnolia [and believe you me, I do], I don't think it's one of the greatest films of all time, or even [for that matter] of the 90s. It would, however, probably be somewhere in my top twenty [or maybe even fifteen] of the decade.

I've not seen The Trial, no, but I do love F for Fake. Of the all the Welles that I've seen, I'd rank his pictures thus-ly:

01. F for Fake (1973) ****
02. Citizen Kane (1941) ****
03. Touch of Evil (1958) *** ½
04. The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) ***
05. Macbeth (1948) **

HELL YES!(bigdaddy)
I used to love the highlander the movies, the series, the hole god damned bit

I've never seen F is for Fake- can't wait to see it, but my top 5 Welles movies are :

1. Citizen Kane
2. The Third Man
3. Touch of Evil
4. The Stranger
5. Magnificent Ambersons

5 tremendous movies and the Ambersons could have been the best if it wasn't chopped up.

The Third Man (1949) was directed by Carol Reed.

If we are talking Orson Welles movies you have to include The Third man even though he didn't direct it or write it and was only in it for 10 minutes. May soon become my favorite Orson Welles movie.

Always changing, and currently standing like so.......

1. Blade Runner (Seems to always have the #1 slot)
2. Chinatown
3. 12 Monkeys
4. Mulholland Drive
5. Vertigo
6. Solaris (Soderbergh version)
7. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
8. Raiders of the Lost Ark
9. Taxi Driver
10. Pulp Fiction

This list always changes. almost from day to day, with some titles staying for a long time while other slots seem like a revolving door.

Other films that have been on the list lately include:

Traffic
Psycho
Donnie Darko
Brazil
2001
The Usual Suspects

I got five fingers but the middle one is especially for you.

So your a fan of Paint Your Wagon?

Oh absolutely. I love it to death. I mean c'mon, three of my favorite actors, Jean Seberg, Clint Eastwood, and Lee Marvin in one movie... too good to be true. It's also the film that had the most influence in getting me over my grudge against musicals some years ago. I also love the type of humor that runs throughout. From Lee Marvin interupting a funeral for something more important (gold), to Jean Seberg explaining how "she knows what she's had" to Quaker kid explaining to his pa how women's the best of the three sins he's recently committed.

Really I don't care what anyone says about it, good or bad. It's one of my favorite films, and my favorite musical. Basically it's full of great moments throughout, of which my favorite very well could be Marvin struggling through "Wanderin' Star" which makes the song all that much more heart felt.



also click here if ya got the energy

You've convinced me. I'll take that finger now.
