Nice to see Tree of Life on top at the moment!

I expected a nice rating given your taste thus far, but I didn't expect that!

Edit: I just realized these aren't actually in order. But still. GOAT tier is filled finally.


Yeah all 3 are definitely in my top 50 of all time. Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Robocop and Spirited Away are close too. Probably top 100.

Shouldn't GOAT by definition be limited to a single film (unless it's a literal tie, I suppose)?

I want to live in New York so much largely due to all the director retrospectives, screenings of new restorations of classic films, and just general screenings of old films (often on actual 35mm no less)

Ugh if only. I saw Hou Hsiao-hsien's Three Times on a 35mm print at the Lincoln Center last time I was in New York and it was beautiful. Scratches were present but the color and depth of the image was amazing, and it is FAR FAR FAR FAR better than the best version of it on home media/on the internet

Come to L.A. We have it just as good. Going to see Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm later this month, and possibly a Pee-wee's Big Adventure/Ed Wood double feature. If I could afford it there are a half dozen other screenings I would try to make just this month.

Yeah LA has a good amount, but it definitely doesn't compare to New York, especially when it comes to rare prints/things that would be almost impossible to see otherwise. I am probably going to be out in LA visiting some friends later this month and also going to a Stop Making Sense screening while I am there.

Kingsman is sort of a special case. While it certainly isn't a movie I like normally, it is so flawed and fucked up morally, without even a point, that I actively detest it. The church fight scene is the main part, and while it is impressively choreographed for sure, amazingly even, the whole scene couldn't be more morally detestable. Same goes with a large amount of what goes on with the movie, plus it just being so fucking stupid (like at the end when the foreign leader tells Eggsy that if he saves the world she will let him do anal. It is perhaps the cringiest, most unfunny moment I have ever seen in a film)

Okay, so you don't like it for moral reasons. I didn't take the movie all too seriously. I like it as an action movie, but not more than that. Sure, the plot and antagonist's agenda were stupid, but I thought they were deliberately made that way.

I actually didn't the catch the part about the anal thing. I thought they were only going to have "normal" sex, so I wasn't disturbed when I watched it the first time.

Normal sex or anal , doesn't change it that much, besides maybe just making it a little bit more immature.

Nice!

I knew someone from the Movies DVD board who had Woman in the Dunes as their all time favorite movie! I never heard much about it aside from them. I love it. I'm not always one for surreal movies, and it's not too surreal tbh, but I just love that movie. Top 100 easily for me.

That director has a few other movies. I've seen Pitfall, which was great; haven't seen anything else from him.

And also my Coen Brothers ranking:

1. Fargo
2. Inside Llewyn Davis
3. No Country for Old Men
4. Blood Simple
5. The Man Who Wasn't There
6. Raising Arizona
7. Miller's Crossing
8. True Grit
9. A Serious Man
10. The Big Lebowski
11. Hail, Caesar!
12. Barton Fink
13. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
14. Burn After Reading
15. Intolerable Cruelty

Haven't seen Ladykillers or Hudsucker

Really 5-9 can be arranged in any order though and it would be basically the same, all I'd put on basically the same level. The top 4 are definitely the top 4 for me though and even though O Brother and Burn After Reading are near the bottom both are still really good.

Haven't seen Winter Light but Nausicaa is my favorite Miyazaki too and High and Low is my 2nd favorite Kurosawa behind Ran. Both I'd probably put in "hell yeah" but are definitely close to the top tier, along with Eyes Wide Shut, Seven Samurai and Citizen Kane

It's so hard to ever definitively rank stuff like this for me. I always prefer to watch films I haven't seen, so I never rewatch stuff very frequently, and then before ya know it, 10 years have passed, and it's like "wow, do I still like/dislike this movie as much as I did back then? I'm a totally different person than I was then!"

So many things I need to watch again, especially the things I wasn't as favorable about at the time. No need to crap on my good memories of movies that I'm sure I won't like as much :p

But yeah, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Fargo in 15 years...

Quite a few I haven't seen there. The Return is my favorite out of that list; lots of emotions in that one. It featured one of the all-time 'gut punches' for me.

You've got Fargo too high and Barton Fink waaaay too low IMO, but taste is taste.

I've seen relatively few of their films, but I'd have it:
1. No Country for Old Men
2. Barton Fink
3, Raising Arizona
4. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
5. True Grit
6, Fargo
7. Inside Llewyn Davis

Not a fan of either of the bottom two, though my problems with ILD are more personal than "this is a bad movie". Fargo just didn't speak to me, though I recognized McDormand's talent. The top 3 are all in my top 50.

That's how I felt. It was a decent enough movie, but I found Llewyn to be so unlikable, unrelatable, uninteresting, and whiny for me to feel much during the movie. The progression of the movie was fine, and if the protagonist was just a bit different, I'd have liked the movie much more than I did.

No matter how good a movie is, certain protagonist traits will turn me off a bit and leave me feeling pretty unsatisfied.

And I'm all for flawed protagonists; they are my favorite kind. I like when the main character has moral dilemmas, makes poor choices, and is often the bad guy. But Llewyn just had all the wrong traits for me to find him enjoyable. Whiny protagonists can be some of the worst.
