And how many of the RC top 100 have you seen, Excal?

mehro · 13th August 2011, 00:31

excal, I've added you.

mehro · 13th August 2011, 00:32

RedKaos, you need to watch a lot of movies before Dec 1 to catch up.

R.Nilsson7 · 13th August 2011, 00:41

I know that the likes of datura, mexos and UBERScholes have got good taste, sadly the latter seems to have disappeared though.

Yes. Send them an invite, Nills. I'm sending one out to Gambit and Mockey, for some reason they're acting gay or busy.

Spoony Youngblood · 13th August 2011, 00:46

and is Gambit..Gambit or Gambit28?

mehro · 13th August 2011, 00:46

28. also add hungrywing and iron steve. although i have Pmed all 4.

Spoony Youngblood · 13th August 2011, 00:54

Done.

Spoony Youngblood · 13th August 2011, 00:57

Where's Spammy thesedays? he loves films.

Saliph · 13th August 2011, 01:17

Assuming it's the top 100 in the "FINAL Top 100" list, 86.

duffer · 13th August 2011, 06:15

What is the collective noun for film buffs, a smug? No, I remember, a Kermode of film buffs.

gambit28 · 13th August 2011, 07:44

Right I'm here, what do I have to do?

Duffer, you're a poncy film buff aren't you? And Gambit, watch loads of films before making a list.

Difficult.

Adzzz · 13th August 2011, 10:21

Thanks for putting me on Mehro. If anything this is a good excuse for watching a shed load of great movies.

Re-watched Dog Day Afternoon last night and will be ordering some dvd's shortly.

Al Pacino was fantastic in that, really drove the film.

Zen · 13th August 2011, 13:19

10 films guaranteed to be in my top 20 at least. Paris, Texas, Hoop Dreams, Citizen Kane, 2001: A Space Odyssey, L'Avventura, Blade Runner, The Apartment, Manhattan, Apocalypse Now and Ikiru.

Yes I'm a crazy fool who prefers Apocalypse Now ever so slightly over The Godfather(both of which will still make my full list as will The Conversation thus probably making Coppola most prominent on it but I do consider his 70's run the greatest run ever by anyone.)

How is ranking done, does your 1 get 100pts and 2nd 99pts and so on or are you doing it another way so that we don't have to be incredibly spot on with individual rankings. Like the same points for top 10, then less and less for each 10 after that?

Adzzz · 13th August 2011, 14:08

I think I preferred Apocalypse Now just over the Godfather also, in fairness, the top 5 films are all so close barely anything separates them.

Just re-watched American Beauty, I forgot how powerful that film was. Intense really, especially when you clock what he's talking about at the end and how that changes your whole perception of the film. I was writing a script a while ago that I simply tucked away, based around a Firebird, I almost want to complete it just simply out of affection for this film.

Probably worth adding the final credits music: sensational stuff.

CassiusClaymore · 13th August 2011, 14:15

American Beauty Adz? That's not gonna be poncey enough for this lot.

You need to up your game son.

This will be a Hollywood free zone.

It's a fantastic cultural statement though, maybe one of the last great American movies and perhaps the last truly great 'mainstream' American film.

No doubt a few Nolan hits will sneak in people's lists. Pick on them!

so I just have to list films and argue for them, sounds easy enough, the only Nolan film that should have a shout in is the Prestige. Well as long as a Matter of life or death, 12 angry men, Kikujiro, Princess Mononoke, Salo, City of god and Raiders of the lost ark are included I'm game.

I'll have all 100 ticked off way before then.

I'm not even sure you need to argue for why you pick them, sure Mehro can clarify that for us. The Prestige? I enjoyed it, but I don't think it'll make my top 100. 12 Angry Men surely will, as will Princess Mononoke and City of God. I'd be hopeful Raiders of the Lost Ark get's in.

The higher Rashomon is placed the better the list is IMO.

Raiders is the greatest action adventure film ever made. I also preffered Ran over Roshomon.

Agreed, I've got Ran on my to watch list, looking very forward to it. Raiders is just superb, watched it recently on DVD with just an upscaling dvd player and the clarity was superb, really stood the test of time well. I imagine on blu-ray it's brilliant. But as far as action adventure goes I can't think of a better film.

You dont need to defend your picks.

And I really dont like American beauty.

Smashed, would you watch a couple of movies based on my recommendation?

Spoony Youngblood · 13th August 2011, 16:03

Why haven't Datura, Duffer, Mexos, UberScholes and Mockney got back to us?

And has anyone been missed out? If you feel you've been overlooked post a RC Top 100 watched list.

I asked Nills to send out PMs to Datura and co. How about you send out a few more invites? And Hungrywing and Stove still haven't replied.
