but I'm still dying for people who namedrop flicks such as Persona (Sexy says he hates that one - it's nowhere as legit as a Medea flick) or many of the other ones I've posted around here.)

Thank you. You proved my point, if I had one. I should get to speak without thinking sometimes too. I still prefer Medea, so call me ignorant.

That's what's so flippin' scary, but nobody else cares. You're everyone's fave. I always thought of you as my fave too, until you got so serious that you told everyone how to live their life just like that fool Dr. Phil. Then you got even more serious. I don't understand. I honestly wish I did understand why you think you are THE ONE. It sounds like the God you tell people for a fact is in their own mind. I don't get it.

I don't see myself as going around telling people how to live their lives. I also don't feel like everyone's fave. Most of the time, I feel underappreciated and undervalued. I don't feel like THE ONE, I don't feel like Dr. Phil (whom I don't find a fool, personally), I don't feel like Oprah -- well, sometimes I feel like Oprah, but that's a separate story -- I don't feel like any of these TV gurus. You think I'm seeing myself as some kind of lecturer, a guru? I'm flabbergasted. In a way, it's very flattering, as well, but jeez -- I don't know why you found this aspect of myself so negative. I don't know what I've been saying that's pissed you off. Yeah, I like helping people, but, PLEASE. Share with me very sincerely any tips or whatever you think I need knowing. Your contributions are very valuable to me. I'd like to be friends. I'm not some phoney. I may be flawed, but I'm not trying to be fake -- which I know is how people like Dr. Phil and others come across.
You don't need to get so nasty with me. You can talk to me like a human being. I'm half your age and I don't know as much as you do.

That's a very nice post. I'm going to bed now but maybe things will be much better with us now. I hope so. I just needed to get things off my chest and I honestly believe that they should be in public since we aren't the only ones around here having a squabble at this point. I will seriously erase the slate (including anything which you find unreasonable) and I hope all is good with us now. Just think about me and I'll think about you.
Love,
Mark

I can't do everything. Afterall, I'm sexier than Jake but what're yagonnado? Forgive me, Tyler for absconding with your thread. If people read and understand this though, I think it's a wonderful thread and a slight derailment can only help.

Now that you guys have settled your differences, back on topic.
Tyler, cool list man. Two of these I've never even heard of, namely Werckmeister Harmonies (what an über-cool title btw) and Last Year At Marienbad, which is strange since I've watched some Resnais films.
These are the ones I particularly like:
Other than that one, keep up the good work.

- The Shining
- The Thing
- La Haine
- The Conformist
- North By Northwest
- There Will Be Blood
- Wall-E
- Unforgiven
- Le Samouraï (one of Melville's 3 masterpieces, eager to see if one of the other 2 makes your list)
- The Maltese Falcon
- Chinatown
Other than that one, keep up the good work.

^ Thanks! For Melville, i think he has done 2 masterpieces - le samourai and army of shadows. what's the 3rd one? bob le flambeur? I've not seen that one
As for Brazil, i like it because of its dystopian themes, eg. unnecessary paperwork, terrorism, intrusive technology, obsession with beauty (plastic surgery), police state etc.

24. The Grand Illusion (Renoir, 1937)
23. Spirit Of The Beehive (Erice, 1973)
22. On The Waterfront (Kazan, 1954)
21. Apocalypse Now (Coppola, 1979)
20. Ugetsu Monogatari (Mizoguchi, 1953)
I think Mizoguchi is the best Japanese director known to man He directed dozens of films, of which only 3 drew international acclaim, and Tales of Ugetsu is one of them. It's so surreal, like a Bunuel film. It's also quite similar to Murnau's Sunrise, only that it is much more depressing. Mizoguchi is a feminist director, meaning that most of his films deal with women's oppression in society. For me, he ranks among the top tier of talented directors and i strongly beseech you to watch this or give this a try if you have not.

Rep for Raging Bull, 12 Angry Men, and of course, my all-time favorite movie, VERTIGO!
EDIT! Having seen Taxi Driver, I absolutely adore it. Still have to check out Apocalypse Now, but that last post was absolutely fantastic.

Some great movies so far, and a lot I haven't seen. You seem to have good taste, so I'll be sure to check out Ugetsu Monogatari. I've not seen many Japanese films outside of Akira Kurosawa, and I hear he's one of the most western influenced directors of the east, so it'll be interesting to see a different kind of Japanese film.
Looking forward to the rest!

^ Thanks so much. As for Kurosawa, he's great too. It's just that he and Ozu are more well-known in the West compared to Mizoguchi, though from the films ive seen from these 3 directors, Mizoguchi's films have affected me the most. I have not seen Teshihagara's Woman in the dunes nor any of Kon Ichikawa's films yet, so i cant say i know a lot about Japanese cinema.
