Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek If I am to tell the truth Jedi has always been closest to my heart out of all Star Wars movies. What can I say? I have a soft spot for it.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek
50. Nashville

49. Yi Yi
Quote: Visually daring and artfully beautiful, Ed Yang was working full gear on this his last feature, and yet it feels so effortless. I have a strong desire to see his other movies

47. Born to Kill
Quote: Who'd have thought that Robert Wise could do film noir so well?

43. Raiders of the Lost Ark
42. Double Indemnity

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek
40. Gattaca
Quote: That final scene, man. It never fails.
39. La grande illusion
Quote: There's a scene where they talk about how the dead actually have it better because they don't have to go on. Rauffenstein's flower is such a beautiful detail. This is quite possibly one of the best screenplays ever.
And Jean Gabin is soooooooooo good.
38. THX 1138
Quote: Robert Duvall looks soooooo H0TT with his head shaved. But maybe that's just me. 
37. Amélie

Nanook of the North  Quote: I don't care if it's staged, there is one scene with the snow and the wind blowing that has forever stayed with me. It's unforgettable. 34. Fight Club  Quote: I want to be Marla Singer. 33. Who Framed Roger Rabbit  Quote: Where else can you see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together? But Roger takes the cake for me. 32. Bringing Up Baby  Quote: "Sing David: I can't give you anything but love, baby!" 31. Lost in Translation  Quote: Don't you still wanna know what Bill Murray's character whisperred into Scarlett's ear?

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek Your list is cool. I didn't notice you were doing this!
Lots of classics, some underseen gems (Stage Door), and some head-scratchers (Death Becomes Her? All those LOTRS?).
Best of all...Herr Lubitsch!
I'll confess to not being a big fan of Philadelphia Story, besides that amazing cast.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek Death Becomes Her makes me laugh like very few movies do. I can see how one could find it obnoxious, but I love it!
I'm kinda getting tired of adding quotes and comments under each title, is it ok if I just list them from here on? If it seems so lazy of me I apologize but it's hard to really say something that amounts to much in one sentence or two.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek I think adding a line for why you love a film is great. Everyone generally loves a common list of films, but people may love them for different reasons.
I am happy to see someone else Enjoys the Beauty of Gattaca.
Someone accused me of hating all new films and being a slave to Nostalgia.
Imo recent Classics like Gattaca are numerous in my top 100 and I would like to see more films like these being made.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek
30. The Thief of Bagdad
Quote: A visual thrill that is as much fun today as it ever was.
29. Raging Bull
Quote: De Niro’s performance, the amazing cinematography, Moriarty’s performance, the sight of those flashbulbs going off. This is Scorsese’s masterpiece.
28. Annie Hall
Quote: Annie: Hi, hi, hi.
Alvy: Oh hi, hi.
Annie: Well, bye.
Alvy: You play very well.
Annie: Oh, yeah. So do you. Oh, God, what a, what a dumb thing to say. Right, I mean, you say, 'You play well.' So right away I had to say, 'You play well.' Oh, oh God Annie. Well. Oh well. La-dee-dah. La-dee-dah. La-la. Yeah.
Alvy: You want a lift?
Annie: Oh, why? Uh, you got a car?
Alvy: No, I was going to take a cab.
Annie: Oh, no. I have a car.
Alvy: You have a car? I don't understand. If you have a car, so then why did you say, 'Do you have a car?' like you wanted a lift?
Annie: I don't, I don't, geez, I don't know. I wasn't....I got this VW out there. (to herself) What a jerk, yeah. Would you like a lift?
Alvy: Sure. Which way you goin'?
Annie: Me? Oh, downtown.
Alvy: Down.... I'm going uptown.
Annie: Oh well, you know I'm going uptown too.
Alvy: You just said you were going downtown.
Annie: Yeah, well, but I could...
27. The Searchers
Quote: Is Martin Pawley the H0TTEST thing to come out of the Old West or what?
26. Rashomon
Quote: We choose what we want to see in order to fit our needs. A story about the relativity of reality.
25. Fargo
Quote: The Coen bros. know how to create characters that feel real.
24. The English Patient
Quote: Minghella had a way of making sure his films emoted sensuality brilliantly, and The English Patient is no exception. The sex scene between Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas is a class apart. The English Patient is a modern epic.
23. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Quote: Disney's crowning achievement.
22. King Kong (’33)
Quote: Kong breaking the T-Rex's jaw and playing with it gave me nightmares to no end as a child.
21. E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial
Quote: That Flying theme by John Williams is all I need, but it's a good thing that the movie is so good as a whole. I think Spielberg may not have topped this yet.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek
20. Ladri di biciclette
Quote: The simplicity of the story coupled with the emotional impact it delivers is its winning combination for me. The ending is devastating.
19. M
Quote: A film with perspective.
18. Ace in the Hole
Quote: We're coming, we're coming, Leo!  Billy Wilder had never been so acerbic in his life, giving us one of the best endings in movies, and the movie is as relevant today as it was in 1951, if not more so.
17. Fitzcarraldo
Quote: No one but Herzog makes them like this.
16. Brokeback Mountain
Quote: Annie Proulx made this story. And the film carried the message right across with the most beautiful photography that I have seen in a long time.
15. The Lion in Winter
Quote: What awsomeness. This movie gets better each time I see it. The score is incredible, the performances are fire, this is the most dysfunctional family of the Middle Ages!!
14. The General
Quote: A cinematic journey of laughs with Buster Keaton
13. Thelma & Louise
Quote: I cherish these ladies. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis lit up the screen and became the stuff of legend and my heroes.
12. All About Eve
Quote: 1950 was a crazy year for movies in that so many great ones came out that year. All About Eve is one of them.
11. The Smiling Lieutenant
Quote: Jazz up your lingerie!

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek Ooo yay! This list just took a very positive turn. Except #12 should be at least 11 spots higher, but that's okay.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek Rorschach wrote: I'll be straight up: This is the best Top 100 list on KJ so far. The screenshots are great, the comments are honest and to the point, you're taking your time but not taking too long, and it has fantastic variety. I can't imagine anyone totally agreeing with you, nor can I imagine anyone not liking this list at the same time as it appeals to everyone
Job well done. Well, thanks!! I hope the last 10 choices don't ruin it for you. I'll be posting those tomorrow I guess, I'm off to see Australia tonight. _________________

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek The Lion in Winter is imo a great film and the performances are just amazing from Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn.
Surprised Peter O'Toole was able to act and look so big and tough considering he is so skinny at that time.
About all about eve....
People say BW is old and it sucks but imo All About Eve, Sunset Blvd, Casablanca and Psycho clearly shows its greatness.
When I watched All about Eve and Sunset Blvd, I was blown away how beautiful these films can be in BW.

I don't necessarily agree with all your choices, but your list is suitably varied and shows you have great taste. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes.

Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - MovieGeek Was I saying Black and White is better? I was simply saying that I use to think BW films use to be "crappy" and could not show beauty/emotion at all. Those films changed my view completely... That is what I said, what is Snobbish about that is beyond me...  _________________The Dark Prince
