The Movie Forums Top 100 of All-Time Refresh: Countdown
→ in Movie Reviews
I said yesterday the "first film you'd see" would involved Numbers and Animals. Well, there was a bit of a trick to that, because the "first film you'd see" is not #100, but in fact our lone Honorable Mention.
It gets Honorable Mention not just because it just missed the cut, but because it lost the #100 spot with the counting of the last ballot! It is:
Ingmar Bergman, 1957

Oh no, The Seventh Seal didn't make the actual list. It was #13 on my ballot. Here's what I wrote of it over two years ago:
Suspiria is one of those Italian films I regret not voting for. In hindsight, it probably should have replaced something on my list, but in reality, I didn't vote for it. Extremely happy to see it make the list though.
I've seen Brazil a couple of times, and while it's pretty good it was never in consideration for me. Not very surprised to see it on the list though.
Seen 2/2
My list this far:
13: The Seventh Seal (1957) [honorable mention]
25: Poison of the Fairies (1984) [1-pointer]

I wonder what Movies that launched after the old list will find their way onto the new one ?
I think Inception is to be expected.
Maybe Carol ?
There were a lot of movies that I loved in the last 10 years but most were either Indy fare (such as Winter’s Bone), Foreign stuff (Portrait of a Lady) or not very well received by the public in general (Blade Runner 2049) or just too weird (Hardcore Henry) so I don’t see any of them making the list.

The Seventh Seal losing to Brazil and Suspiria? I mean, I love all three but let's not compare an all-time great morality tale to two solid products of entertainment.

"The Seventh Seal" was my #16. And it didn't even make the Top 100???
I hope I don't lose the remaining sanity I have left

We tried MoFo debate establishing genre eligibility for our Westerns list. It mostly worked fine except for one title that was still hotly disputed (The Coen Bros.' No Country for Old Men). But, all in all, it was a better idea than just blindly following the IMDb's labels.
I cannot imagine calling No Country a western, it just isn’t !
Me, posting the hint: "this might be too obvious, everyone's gonna get it."
MoFos: a dozen films I hadn't even thought of
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was particularly good, language-wise. Twelve Monkeys was particularly good in terms of likelihood.

Brazil - I don't recall if I've ever seen it. Will have to investigate it. De Niro was in high demand then.
Suspira - There's your horror film, folks. I have a feeling that there will be several more.
Hey, you gotta like short titles...

Liking these choices already, Seventh Seal I believe may have been the first foreign language movie I remember watching. I think at one point I had Bergman in my top 3-4 directors. Brazil + Suspiria I just watched again this year and loved both of them.
