Donatella Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've seen 10 of these. What a bizarre list. Based on what I have seen, I'm not sure I'd wanna check out their recommendations for ones I haven't. Moonlight and Eternal Sunshine are standouts, though. 40 y/o virgin tho? We've had some amazing comedies in recent years and that wasn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 right? happy with spirited away (again) and mad max, but even as a fan of eastwood & boxing, i never got the hype for million dollar baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Million Dollar Baby is maybe one of the most blatant prestige grabs I've ever seen, you can actually see the mechanism where Eastwood picked a story with a bummer ending and reverse engineered it into an inspirational story just to wring the emotions out of the ending. Yeah, off the top of my head I'd trade that and 40 Year Old Virgin for In Bruges and maybe The Two Towers. I'm sure they also didn't want to favor any one director(s) so that's why No Country For Old Men, True Grit, and A Serious Man didn't make the cut.

FireDownBelow Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 We had a discussion about this and I still disagree with you about A Serious Man. So, are these listed in order of rank? Cause I wouldn't put There Will Be Blood at number one. I mean..it was good, but also, it wasn't. It's difficult for me to explain properly. At times I found it slightly confusing, possibly due to editing? And I felt it overly long. But...40 Year Old Virgin doesn't belong up there. That being said, I liked it. If you look at it as something other than a comedy. It failed as a comedy, but I think it really was a sweet movie in it's own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
