20 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Steven Spielberg, 1984)
19 The Apartment (Billy Wilder, 1960)
18 Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtiz, 1938)
17 The Sting (George Roy Hill, 1973)
16 City Lights (Charles Chaplin, 1931)

As I've been re-looking at my list, I'm really quite happy with how it turned out. Good mix of old and new, of comedy and drama.

I just wish I could have found room for one of the Muppet films, either the original or Christmas Carol.

I thought I was the only person who found that one of the most heartwarming Christmas films ever.

Isn't it, though? I should be so cynical, it's my nature, but damnit that movie warms the cockles of my heart like few others.

It also helps that Michael Caine is my favorite actor, and a perfect Scrooge.

I watch it every December 23rd or 24th, without exception.

Actually we had it on VHS but someone lost it (not I).

We just recently got it on DVD and my family has been watching the heck out of it. I figure I'll snuggle up with it on the 23rd or 24th...

I love Muppet Xmas Carol!!!!!

And Clue.

yoshue, i have been following this regularly, just fyi...

but i figured i'd wait for a full 1-100 list to comment, so i can have more than 3 responses at a time. :O :O :O :O:O

(so far it looks pretty good though. :O:up: )

15 Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)

12 The 400 Blows (Francois Truffaut, 1959)
11 Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)

10. Gone With The Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939)



Epic, wonderful, amusingly decadent melodrama. Few movies are as engrossing or as fascinating. I'm not sure what else to say. There's another thread somewhere where I extolled its virtues. Look there.

BUMPed

Is anybody next in line for this? If not i'd like to throw up mine.

your good

Numbers 100 to 91

Number 100

Papillon (1973)

For me one of the best prison drama's ever made as McQueen and Hoffman play characters sent to the notorious Penal Stations on French Guiana. McQueen is fasinating to watch as his unwavering desire for freedom keeps him going and his friendship with Hoffman lends him a touch of true Humanity.

Number 99

Syriana (2005)

The Stephen Gaghan follow up the Traffic is a tour de force of film-making that does the audience the Courtesy of asuming you have some Brains and dives straight into the murky world of the Oil trade. Yes their may be more plot strands then is needed but the way they come together is great to watch and the ending when it comes is devestating.

Number 98

JFK (1991)

A breathtaking movie showcasing Oliver Stone at the height of his directorial powers. It may be filled with inaccuraces according to some but with scenes like Costner laying out the case in the Courtroom and the flashback storytelling of Donald Sutherlands shadowy Mr X it stakes a claim as one of the best movies produced in the 1990s

Number 97

King Kong (2005)

The most expensive "personal project" ever put to screen Peter Jacksons mammoth re-make is after all is said and done a fine piece of cinema. Perhaps it could have done with a bit of editing but scenes like the 3 way V-Rex fight and the grizzly Spider pit sequence more then cover for it

Number 96

Copland (1996)

Stallone delivers the best performance of his career as the Sheriff of the self proclaimed Copland of New York. Stallones world weary Sheriff is an all to human contrast to his earlier macho parts while Kietel and Liotta eat up roles they could deliver in their sleep. The bloody shootout at the end hits hard and leaves a mark on the memory.

Number 95

X-Men 2 (2003)

Brian Singer delivers a movie which artfully blends summer blockbuster entertainment with serious issues like acceptance and fear of difference which elivates this above the exciting but ultimately soulless X3. Brain Cox's Stryker is a memorable villian while the Wolverine smackdown in the Mansion is one of the best comic book scenes you'll see in movies.

Number 94

The Last Boy Scout (1991)

This Shane Black scripted classic has to feature one of the highest levels of cool quotes per minute you are ever lightly to hear. The story is nothing special but its the brilliant interplay between Willis and Wayans that lift this above the pretenders.

Best Line? I figure you gotta be the dumbest guy in the world, Joe. You're trying the save the life of the man who ruined your career, and avenge the death of the guy that fucked your wife.

Number 93

Kellys Heroes (1970)

The simple story of a bunch of American GIs trying to steal behind German lines to avail themselves of a stash of gold in a French bank is for me a Eastwood movie that gets forgotten between his transition from "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" to "Dirty Harry" which is a pity because this is damn good fun. Everything has a slightly jovial edge to it and Donald Sutherlands "Oddball" is Hilarious to watch. A childhood favourite that still stands up well today.

Number 92

Sin City (2004)

Easily the most faithful comic book adaptation put to screen this Rodriguez/Miller movie is an overload of style. Backdrops straight from the page the unaltered dialogue its quite unlike anything else on screen. The Gore comes thick and Fast and the bodycount isn't low but its great to watch. Sin City 2 can't come soon enough.

Number 91 ....and last for the night 90-81 tomorrow

Collateral (2004)

This is the type of movie that only men like Michael Mann can truly do properly. If ever Los Angeles can be captured perfectly on film this is it. The twinkling lights the strange sense of loneliness, all this is conveyed by whats on screen. The scenes with Fox and Cruise verbally sparring in the Taxi are perfect and if the whole movie was that this would be a top 30 choice for sure, but the non taxi scenes (bar maybe the nightclub sequence) lack that little extra. Still you could do worse then watch this.

Wow, you're going to give us commentary on all your films as well Kyro? Cool, and good luck!!

Thanks

Numbers 90 to 81

Number 90

Independence Day (1996)

Loud Brash and unashamedly USA USA USA by most standards this film should never be let near a top 100 list. The corny dialogue and the Aliens gross stupidity in not having a proper anti-virus are just some of the flaws in this Roland Emmerich helmed monster. And yet despite all that I still love this movie and have lost count of how many times I've seen it. Its blockbuster entertainment in its purest form with no attempt made to tack on deeper meaning. Aliens blow shit up, we fight back. Switch off your brain and enjoy.


Number 89

Amores Perros (2000)

Alejandro González Iñárritu's highly impressive debut full-feature deals with the intersecting stories of Mexico City inhabitants all linked by a car accident. Gael Garcia Bernal is great as young Octavio while old Mexican character player Emilio Echevarría is perfect as the old tramp El Chivo as he wanders in and out of the storylines. Filmmaking like this is highly tricky to pull off without the links appearing contrived but Iñárritu does the job with consumate smoothness


Number 88

The Constant Gardener (2005)

The Fernando Meirelles directed movie is a solid first step into English language filmmaking for the Brazilian Lensman. The backdrop of African poverty and drug company duplicity with English officials in using the poor as live medical guinne pigs ensures a serious affair. But its Fiennes who is the real star of this picture. His stoic search for the killers of his wife (Rachel Weisz) has a massive real world feel to it. No heroic's no weapons just a quiet polite yet determined man seeking justice. The Ending is deeply affecting and wether its a moment of joy or saddness is for the viewer to decide.


Number 87

Magnolia (1999)


This sprawling creation of Paul Thomas Anderson deals like Amores Perros with the intersecting lives of people in a buzzing metropolis (Los Angeles). Its an impressive piece of filmmaking as we watch a miriade of different characters live a single day in the City of Angels. Cruise delivers one of his best performances as Self Help Guru Frank Mackey and Macy glides thru a top notch showing (he's incapable of a bad performance) as the embittered former Child star Donnie Smith. Aimee Manns soundtrack is sown beautifully into the scenes and each character ending is more that satisfying.


Number 86

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

The ultimate in matinee entertainment Harrison Fords iconic Jones returns for one last throw of the dice as the original Tomb Raider. All the boxes are ticked. Exciting Action, hidden treasures, Nazi's (Jones isn't complete without Nazi's) and dangerous females (Alison Doody - where is she now). Connery makes a welcome addition as Jones Senior and nice little titbits like where Indiana got a scar are throw in as well. As for all the talk of Indy 4, I say leave it be boys cause this was a fitting send-off


Number 85

Friday Night Lights

They say the best movies about sport only use that sport as a backdrop to see another story and its a true saying. American football and the travels of the Permian Panthers to the Texas state finals in 1989 may be the backdrop but its not the real story. Its about a town that invests everything in a group of young 17 year olds to forget the slow decay of there own lifes. As a former player says to one of this younger counterparts. "Enjoy it while you can cause after this there is only Babies and memories".
The message is clear, life should be more then just a single season.


Number 84

Dog Soldiers (2002)

Neil Marshalls first feature movie Dog Soldiers showcases the raw talent the british filmmaker has to burn in impressive style. The concept is simple. 6 British squaddies are dropped into the Scottish highlands for training manouvers but instead of some military tasks to keep them occupied they find themselves under attack by a group of ravenous nasty Warewolves as they hole up in a seemingly empty farmhouse. Any budgetry concerns are forgotten as the Gore quick wit and black humour fly in a rip roaring movie that is best watched with a few friends and plenty of beer. Great stuff.


Number 83

Ace Ventura (1994)

Oscar worthy it ain't but damn is it funny. Carreys breakout film showcases the sides of his craft that are his most well known, the contorted facial expressions the crazy movement the wild sayings. This is like "The Last Boy Scout" a perfect movie for quotes just one example "If I'm not back in 5 minutes..... just wait longer. Carreys comedies since the opening salvo of this "Dumb and Dumber" and "The Mask" pale in comparison


Number 82

The Mask (1994)

It's a Carrey double bill at 83 and 82 with this entry once again displaying the elastic ones comedic attributes. The dark tone of the comic book originals are cast aside for a more zaney looney toons type of entertainment. The scenes where Carrey has the Mask on are comedy gold and Diaz makes a memorable debut as dancer Tina Carlyle. As the Mask would say this movie is SMOKIN!


Number 81

Casino (1995)

Scorsese's epic tale of the rise and fall of the mafia in Las Vegas is for me a better movie then "Goodfellas" an opinion I know is in the minority. Casino is a tighter more focused affair as we follow the travels of De Niro's "Sam 'Ace' Rothstein" as operator of the Tangiers. Pesci plays the phycho role just as ably as his role in Goodfellas while Stone shows glimpses of acting talent that were buried under bad career choices and soft porn titillation movies like Sliver and Basic Instinct. In essence Casino is a tragedy in the same way as a Shakesperian play. As Ace says in the ending

"Never again would boys like us ever been given that much responsibility"

I've got to be honest and say that I'm not crazy about most of those movies, but I love, love, love X2, The Constant Gardener, and JFK.

And I've been meaning to see Papillon for a while now. Got to do that.

Numbers 80 to 71

Number 80

Ong-Bak (2003)

The storyline is moronic the acting substandard and yet this is number 80 on my all time list, Why? Simple, Tony Jaa is the most stunning martial artist to hit cinema since Bruce Lee. This man can literally walk up walls, and if you think its wirework thing again as the DVD extras show the stunts in all their raw glory. You feel every punch marvel at every fight, He's so good I couldn't give a toss that he can't act. Thai cinema at its best.


Number 79

Schindlers List (1993)

Steven Spielburg's true story of a man who saved over 1000 Jews from the gas chambers of Auschwitz is a deeply moving and somber tale that examines the dark side of humanity and our ability to cause suffering on Others. Neeson delivers a solid performance but its Fiennes SS Commendant Amon Goeth who leaves the really lasting impressive. Dull lifeless eyes, callous disregard for life, he's the ultimate personification of human evil.


Number 78

Traffic

The older counterpart to the more recent Syriana, Traffic places higher on the all time list due to a less fractured narrative then it's younger brother. Steven Soderberghs movie shows the "War on Drugs" from all sides be it Douglas's Drug Czar, Zeta Jones wife of a drug dealer and Del Toro's street smart Mexico Cop. All this helps to give a full picture of what the movie examines. Its a movie that doesn't preach but mearly lays out all sides and is all the better for it.


Number 77

Taxi Driver (1976)

Its one of the great mysteries of cinema how this Martin Scorsese directed movie failed to pick up a big picture oscar because its an incendiary piece of cinema with a career best turn by De Niro. It stands as a story of the Vietnam vets who chouldn't turn off the killing when they returned home, couldn't become human again. Travis Bickle is one of the all time icons of cinema while Foster shows her promising early talent as the young hooker Bickle becomes obsessed with "saving"


Number 76

Magnum Force (1973)

The follow up to 1971s Dirty Harry see's the return of Harry Callahan and that damn big gun of his. This time Harry is on the case of crooked cops dealing out vigilante justice. Callahan is probably one of the first true anti-heroes in cinema and his desire to stay on the side of the law despite his contempt for some of its shortcomings makes this more then just a mindless Gun welding piece of celluloid.


Number 75

Toy Story 2 (1999)

There is a very simple reason why Pixar enjoy a higher standing then other CGI movie makers in hollywood and that reason is Heart. While pretenders like Shrek and Madagascar overflow with pop culture references which will have grown completely stale in a few short years, Pixar movies perticularly Toy Story 2 have far more depth to them. This is a movie which expertly weives laughs with lessons on growing up and fear of abandonment and in the end will stand the test of time far better then its pretenders to the throne.


Number 74

A History of Violence (2005)


The most mainstream film of David Cronenburgs career is a study in the violent tendancies in all of us. Mortensen's turn as everyman "Tom Stall" gives the the movie a grounded foundation which allows for more over the top performances from Harris and Hurt. THe violence scenes are brief but incredible bloody and Mortensen's transformation in the second half is a perfect example of understated acting.


Number 73

Batman Begins (2005)

Christopher Nolans "rebooting" of the Batman franchise is as far as one can get from the garnish mess that was Joel Schumachers Batman & Robin as the "Memento" director turned to the darker edgier Batman as witnessed in comic's of the 1980s like the Frank Miller take. This is the Bat without the pomp stripped down for the real world. No theatrical villians, no camp humour instead we get a Bale Batman who is truly human, and the first Batman movie where the spotlight was more on the man in black then the villians he was fighting.


Number 72

Das Boot (1981)

Wolfgang Petersens best movie is a taut clastrophobic affair as we follow the fortunes of a German U-Boat crew in the cold seas of the Atlantic during World War 2. Peterson creates a completely authentic atmostphere to the point that you feel these men fear feel their cooped up state. When they reach port your relieved, but then one of the most devastating endings in cinema crashes in and the feeling of shock is all your left with.


Number 71

Dogma (1999)

Kevin Smiths church bothering comedy is yet another showcase of the mans fabulous dialogue skills as 2 Angels (Affleck and Damon) attempt to sneak their way back into heaven as Fiorentino, Rock and Jay and Silent Bob stand as the "holy" warriors in their way. If you've seen other Smith films you know the drill. Heaps of explitives, brilliant speeches and wickedly funny humour. If you ignore Jersey Girl then its easy to say Smith (barring his complete inability to do action scene's) is one of the best screenwriters in Hollywood today.

Kyro, the last 10 you posted are almost all movies I like, but none that I really love, except Taxi Driver.

And Magnum Force? I recently saw that for the first time...odd flick. It almost seemed like an apology for the original film, but when I saw that the screenwriters were Michael Cimino and John Milius I knew that there is no way that was what they were aiming for. It is definitely the best of the Dirty Harry movies, though.

I am not doing this to steal your thunder, Kyro, I just want to post my updated list here, for the record. (I don't think anyone read it the first time anyway.) This is an updated list I just completed in an effort to get my mind away from stressful real life things:
