'Beneath You'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
So I checked the AFI Top 100 Movie list and I've seen 95.
I haven't seen:
Raging Bull
High Noon
Sunrise
The Gold Rush
In the Heat of the Night
Raging Bull is just a weird oddity in my film going since I've been holding out to see it on screen instead of on a TV and though it's played around SF at the rep theaters, I've never managed to go.
This list on Wikipedia also notes which movies were bumped.
I can't believe they bumped The Third Man and The Manchurian Candidate and Frankenstein!
In The Heat Of The Night? Seriously?
Dude. Remiss.
Dude. Remiss.
The Gold Rush too.
Five isn't so bad. I can knock those off this year.
How many have you seen?
Probably very few (I can't really look at the list from here). But I'm not a movie buff, nor from around these parts.
I've seen about half of them.
I'm really bad--I've only seen 58 of those films all the way through.
That's better than me! And I even counted A Night at the Opera, which I may have fallen asleep during. I was disappointed, after all the hype. It was no Duck Soup.
Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas were in the 90s on that list. So last night we had to develop an oral macro for "THIS is better than Pulp Fiction/Goodfellas?" And once Godfather II came in at 32, "This is better than PF/G/G2?!" I have to say, it's a very Western-heavy list.
The biggest chunk of that list I haven't seen is from the 1960s and '70s--Godfather, Graduate, Raging Bull, Chinatown, and a lot more on my to-be-watched list.
I think I like these AFI guys. I'm sure that will go away once I read the list.
I just failed to get Pulp Fiction or Goodfellas.
Really hated PF.
