Mofo Bros Top 100: A Raul and Sean Production

Kicking myself that I missed the chance to see it in 3D when the restoration played...almost a decade ago (****, time flies). Would have loved to see what Hitch did with the format.

Not entirely sure if you're including the whole LOTR trilogy or just Fellowship. My family used to watch the extended editions every year around Thanksgiving. We kinda grew out of it since everyone's lives were changing. That, and most of the people were going keto so no breadbowls with dumplings. The menu was significantly smaller until our stepdad became much better at keto baking.

I'm not a fan of Christian Bale, but I'll watch just about any movie with Hugh Jackman. It's been a while since I saw The Prestige, but I remember liking it. It's on my watchlist to rewatch it for the 2000s Countdown.

OPEN FLOOR.

As much as I love musicals, somehow I still haven't seen La La Land.


Double Indemnity is one of the best noir films.


I thought Lonesome Dove was a mini-series. Is there also a Lonesome Dove movie?


Rear Window isn't my favorite Hitchcock movie, but it's probably in my top 5.

I think I watched The Hurricane for a HoF a while back. I didn't have high expectations for it because I thought it was a boxing movie, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.

I love Dial M for Murder. It was one of the first Hitchcock movies I ever saw, (maybe even the first), and it's one of my favorites.

Excellent beginning to the film, perhaps the best ever. Really has everything you look for in a film. Every emotion is felt throughout the film. Love the Carl character too.

Dial M is good, but not a favorite.

Up is amazing.

Really love the beginning and end of Up, there’s about a half hour in there that keeps it from favorite status.

I just watched Rear Window again. Moved it up to 41 on my list and number 2 Hitchcock for now.

Brilliantly directed noir from Wilder. Looks great. The acting by MacMurray, Robinson and Stanwyck is top notch.

Masterpiece.

I know that movie.

It's debatable from a filmmaking standpoint this is the greatest film ever made. It being a tough watch might be the reason why it's never considered, but everything about it is excellent. Neeson and Kingley are damn good. Fiennes performance is phenomenal.

Another match. For those counting at home that’s…please let me know because I’m not counting at home.

That's at least two now I reckon

Anyway.....

...I mistakenly counted the Human Condition trilogy in the 40s for Sean when obviously it should count toward the 30s and that along with A Streetcar Named Desire and Rear Window give his set the edge for me over Raul's Goodfellas, The Red Shoes and Ozu double.

8 matches so far

Love a good story about a man standing alone in his principles. This is probably the best example of that for me. One of the great scripts in my opinion. Now on to some degenerates.



My favorite Bogart. What a great story, and this is one of the most beautiful B&W movies there is.



Took us a minute to get to PTA but you know there is more coming. His films work on every level for me. Can't get enough of the greatest modern director.



Love Gould here so much, the best Marlow. Lots of humor in this, terrific ending. Even love the repetitive score and soundtrack.


Time to use the M word again. Absolutely nothing to criticize here. Baptiste is perhaps my #1 movie character ever.

Seen 4 of the 5. My favorite of them being The Long Goodbye. Gould is badass in that.

I do like There Will Be Blood too.

Children of Paradise is too long but ok, Man for all Seasons meh to me.
