Films you think I NEED to see before I start building my Top 100?

Basterds is my favourite Tarantino

He's judging a film, by seeing "just parts" of it; whilst running down a series of mainstream films he looked up on Google, and calling them "pop-culture garbage."

Don't even bother, he doesn't even know what he's talking about. He'll probably just respond with lyrics from a random Hungarian Song he quickly searched up, or a quote from Japanese literature. (So edgy.)

Im not good at writing out my thoughts. I have not just seen parts of the film either I have just seen it in parts.

Camo you always seem like your trying to criticize me

well last night I was just messing around with CDB. Hes really gullible but I still shouldn't have done it.

as for how I come across I would like to stress this isnt a site I use for posting really. I like to consume info but my posts are low effort resulting in a half assed look. I apologize for this and need to learn to not post when its really unneeded.

Woah, thanks for the compliment. I enjoy your film log as well! Yeah, I will be posting the reviews on my 2018 log!

Thank your tuning in! Yeah, with 96 films, odds are you will think some of these are garbage, hell, odds are I will think some of these are garbage. Hope I can find a couple of favorites in here though. Any particular one that you really enjoy?

Thank you for tuning in! I'm sure I will end up seeing those at some point in the next year.

Yeah, you're right; you really did me in there. (I'm sooo gullible.)

Because a vulgar, violent Martin McDonagh film set in the midwest looks like 'The Room' or a Neil Breen film. Give me a break.

Nope. It's more like 'In Bruges' mixed with 'Fargo', on steroids (with a bit of Southern Flare.)

well those both have so bad there good qualities so maybe I was right in my original observation

Don't even ask. Not worth it.

The DUMB is next level. I thought he was a kid at first, nah he's just an idiot.

yeah dude im just being an idiot. Based off your taste I gurantee youll have a new top 10 after this.

Memento (2000) The Princess Bride (1987) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) Sixteen Candles (1984) Labyrinth (1986) Back to the Future (1985) 12 Angry Men (1957) One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

im sorry for bringing this drama into your thread luis. Im an idiot as you can see

Luis don't care; as long as we don't make 3 pages of this nonsense.

You're still an insecure idiot with no identity.

Thanks!

Don't worry it's all good! Keeping a thread alive is always good no matter how it's done!

I actually like this movie. Not ironically or anything, I genuinely like it... but I'm a pleb I think. I also like 4:44 and Popeye.

As far as this thread goes, I think you should set aside a week to tackle the Human Condition trilogy. It's dope. I haven't read every post in this thread, so I don't know if some of what I'm going to say has already been mentioned: it's impossible not to neglect certain fields, but you should try to really explore as much as you can. I could never follow a schedule like you plan to do, it would drive me insane. I fly by the seat of my pants, and I think I want to watch the heavy hitters, but then I end up watching some weird, low-budget, British, B-Noir from the early 60's and falling in love with it instead of seeing more Hitchcock, Bergman, Kurosawa, Ozu, or whoever else films. Just to try to throw out a couple of films that I feel like probably haven't been mentioned:

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a big one, because it's a beautiful musical that takes a different approach to musicals than typical Hollywood fare. If someone tells me they love musicals, I tell them they need to see this movie. If someone tells me they hate musicals, I tell them they need to see this movie.

I hope horror doesn't get neglected here, because that is too often the case when serious film discussion takes place. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Halloween are must sees. They are great films and wildly important for the genre. I wouldn't be surprised if you've already seen either of them though.

If you don't mind watching a short film, you should try Un Chien Andalou. I saw it early on during my developing days of becoming a movie nerd, and I think it is probably the reason I enjoy watching weird sh*t.

And try Aguirre, the Wrath of God and Barry Lyndon, maybe the two most beautiful films of the 70's. I don't know if that's true, but if I say something really extravagant, maybe you'll give them a shot.

I don't know if any of this has helped, but I'm excited for you because I know just starting to dig into this huge world of movies is the coolest time. I still love movies, but I wish I could watch a lot of them for the first time again.

That is a great list. I wish that Brazil (my favorite) had made it, but maybe next year.
