Baraka on BR's a must, though.

Spoony Youngblood · 5th December 2011, 19:09

Yeah, I will buy that, 70mm film must look stunning on BR. I loved that film as a kid, (truth to be told, those years I was a huge Dead Can Dance fan too.)

It's certainly stunning, I think it's worth investing in BR for that film alone.

It looks fantastic on Blu-ray, missed out indeed.

R.Nilsson7 · 5th December 2011, 20:08

Even the subtitles were awful and were taking up most of the screen.

I noticed there's only two Brittish films on my list, three if Barry Lyndon is considered to be a Brittish film.

Directors with multiple films:

7 Kurosawa
4 Tarkovsky
4 Hitchcock
4 Kubrick
3 WKW
3 Coppola
3 Lumet
3 Bergman
3 Miyazaki
2 Lynch
2 Herzog
2 Fellini
2 Leone
2 Kazan

mehro · 5th December 2011, 20:16

Wilder? Wilder will have multiple on my mine.

R.Nilsson7 · 5th December 2011, 20:21

I've got Sunset Blvd but Witness for the Prosecution and Double Indemnity just fell a bit short.

mehro · 5th December 2011, 20:28

The Apartment? Some Like it hot?

R.Nilsson7 · 5th December 2011, 20:36

Don't see the greatness in The Apartment. Some Like It Hot was good but I didn't really like it enough for it to be on the list.

Mockney · 5th December 2011, 20:47

I'm completely with you on all of that Nils.. Sunset = Bangerang. The others are all more classics of their time than timeless classics for me.

Yeah I'm not sure if they'll make my list. But they are being considered.

mehro · 5th December 2011, 22:12

Double Indemnity will probably make it.

Spoony Youngblood · 5th December 2011, 22:33

I loved Some Like it Hot, in fact, I like most of Wilder's stuff. Sunset's his best, though...I think it's one of the best films, ever. Ever.

R.Nilsson7 · 9th January 2012, 00:24

Right, bumping this to see if we could breathe some life into this again.

The thread probably shouldn't have been stickied.

cinc · 9th January 2012, 15:04

I posted my final version eons ago. I forgot about Rosencrantz in the first. Silly me.

sammymc · 10th January 2012, 15:50

obviously I know its just me...but I seriously dont know how someone can love films and not have at least one laurel and hardy film in their top 100.

its just.....wrong.

I love films and I would not have one in my top 100.
I just dont find them funny.

fucking wow!

ok Idve understood the argument that their feature films didnt stand up as well as some of the shorts and then questioning whether a short could be placed in your top 100 films...but just not finding them funny.

wow.

Youre a bit dead inside arent you

what sort of comedy floats your boat? just modern stuff? or anything from pre..say 1940?

R.Nilsson7 · 10th January 2012, 16:57

Marx Brothers, Keaton, Chaplin > Laurel and Hardy

why do I have to be brain dead , just because I dont like Laurel and Hardy.

I think Chaplin and Keaton are excellent and I also like the Marx Brothers , I would even put the 3 stooges above Laurel and Hardy.
In fact modern funny films dont make me laugh that much
Python films are the funniest films ever made.
Norman Wisdom is better than L&H.

Zen · 10th January 2012, 18:11

The only comedy that has to be in everyones top 100 is Dr Strangelove....comedy just subjective after that.

god knows maybe its more a reflection on your reading skills

...I just said a bit dead inside and even then I was only taking the piss.

though in saying that if you find norman wisdom and the three stooges funnier than L&H, theres definitely something wrong with you

Keaton is great, the general is just fucking splendid. Chaplin was an innovator, a brilliant film maker and a master craftsman, in my opinion he doesnt touch L&H for pure comedy though.

Marx brothers are up there with L&H in my opinion.

Grinner · 11th January 2012, 07:16

Fuck me...how can anybody not find L&H funny? It's timeless stuff.

pauldyson1uk · 11th January 2012, 12:56

OK I have not watched L&H for a long time , I was forced to watch it has a kid by my old man and I think it has soured my view of them.

Perhaps someone else can organize this. I dont have the time to chase others or come up with my own list due to non-caf commitments.
