Well, their top seven was:

1. Eternal Sunshine
2. 25th Hour
3. There Will Be Blood
4. No Country For Old Men (still paired with Blood)
5. Memento
6. Spirited Away
7. Kill Bill (1)

Old Boy makes their top 50. Four Pixar movies.

If I leave the page alone for a long time it loads. I'm not sure it's worth it.

I did not really like Eternal Sunshine. The characters didn't resonate for me, one way or another. I enjoyed Memento and Spirited Away. Did not like either Kill Bill as much as I was supposed to. I feel QT is usually overly self indulgent, although they were better than Pulp Fiction. Always nice to see an OldBoy mention. The movie just won't leave me alone.

I got as far as reading the performances page, and I'm impressed to note that Denzel Washington's Training Day turn was mentioned. I loved him in that. I think he's immensely well suited as a villain. His charisma borders on the illegal at the best of times. And they picked Ennis over the Joker. Sentimentally I'm very glad to see Heath Ledger so close to the top.

25th Hour? Huh. I found that movie immensely forgettable and pointless.

I'm glad they mentioned the montage at the beginning of Up. Hubby and I watched that, I was managing to muffle the sobs, he was pretending his sniffling was allergies, and he said, "And people think this is a kids' movie."

I didn't think Eternal Sunshine was all that great but The 25th Hour is one of my favorites. I thought every actor in it delivered an incredible performance and the scene referenced in their list of favorites brings tears to my eyes, just reading the description.

The best scenes list is very fun.

It is!

The cruelest cut, Caché (2005)
There’s no talking about this scene without spoiling it, but also no need to. Those who haven’t seen Michael Haneke’s stunning Caché, an examination of the unnerving uses of new technology and the way old wounds linger, should see it. Those who have, know the exact moment in question, the one that sucked all the oxygen out of whatever room they were in while watching it. In a decade in which explosions got bigger and louder, Haneke delivered a silent shock that outdid them all.

I really hated Caché, but they're right, I know the exact moment they're talking about, and it was indeed one hell of a scene. He does get props for that one.

I prefer Fellowship of the LoTR movies.

My favorite is The Two Towers, so I was happy to see it there. Also, Eternal Sunshine, Memento, and Kill Bill, Vol. 1 are a few of my all-time faves (as is Moulin Rouge, which was down there somewhere as well). They clearly love Christopher Nolan, since The Dark Knight and The Prestige also made the list. I am fine with that since I love Christopher Nolan too. Bring on Inception, whatever the hell it's about!

Nice lists, nice write-ups.

Two Towers was easily my least favourite of the three. And I probably would have picked a scene that made me cry over the Balrog scene (I finally got through all the lists), but Moria is pretty cool.

OldBoy's hammer scene made it in! Good times, good times. That part of the movie I'll happily watch again. It's fairly easy to divorce from the parts that scar me.

P-C, Would you be able to explain why you hated Cache without giving away too much?

First of all, it was so extremely boring that I stopped the movie after the first hour and asked the Buffistas whether it was really worth continuing. I did not give a fuck about the characters, and Haneke didn't either, since they weren't even onscreen half the time. The second half had its moments, like the mentioned scene. But the shooting style, designed to mimic the look of the tapes, bugged the shit out of me. And the movie could have been a half hour shorter; it's full of random, pointless, time-wasting scenes. The eventual "payoff" is full of WTF, and at the end, I kind of wanted to punch Michael Haneke in the face.

P-C, you'll be happy to hear that our best-selling film studies authors so love that film that they fought tooth-and-nail for a still to be the cover, despite everyone here thinking it was a very, very bad idea.

I didn't hate it, but I can see why someone would.
