Actually yeah, it was pretty hard, ive seen a lot of good movies. Also, i somehow left Raging Bull off of the final list, which i didnt mean to do...that makes me sad. ???

 

About 6 or so are viewed these days in black & white - Seven Samurai, High Noon, The Searchers (tho the color one's not bad), Yojimbo, Mr Smith goes to Washington, and Rio Bravo...Raging Bull's black & white, i meant to have that one there. Butch Cassidy starts in b&w but changes after the opening scene.

Oh, and Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Samurai X are Japanese. Crouching Tiger is kabuki-style, being Chinese.

 

PS 2T dont hate me, ive seen it more times is all...ok im revising this thing tonite, MLB dont tally em up yet! Dammit i hate being indecisive..

You know..I'm willing to bet you havent even seen more than 3 movies on my list, not to mention I didnt know you werent a fan of The Matrix.

Your list is the only 20 movies youve ever sat still long enough to watch. I used to want to show you a few off this list but with your posts today, im more & more greatful i didnt.

 

In any event, I think im revamping it tonite people....move a few around maybe, try to squeeze Raging Bull back on there. There's another to ask 2T about...

20) Micheal Collins

 

Raging Bull replaces Lonesome Dove - its damn fine, but it was a TV series of movies, after all. Oh, and...

 

21) (fuck you, im an admin) The Graduate

 

So, after some thought, tho I watched the Grad like crazy back in the day, I think i go more for Collins, so it got bumped. This is 2track's doing.

Again, i could go back & forth forever on the exact number rankings (really hard to compare some of em, you know?) but ill leave it as is for the sake of MLB's request.

ok ok, I feel like goofing off so I revised my shit, it's in a bit of an order now, not just random, and I changed a few, I made it a point to only include movies with no scenes I'd skip (wondering about jurassic park on this one) and stuff that affected me hard in one way or another when I saw it. So hard boiled got ousted by the matrix (I know, blashpemy! I mean, the matrix ripped off hard boiled!) because there are no scenes I would skip in the matrix, and Grave of the fireflies replaces ET sort of reluctantly, because I think ET kind of strechedand tried a bit hard for it's emotion, even the score sounds like it's reaching upward for feeling or something (as much as I loved it), Grave of the fireflies is just beautiful in every frame, I can't find a flaw in it. Wanted to put magnolia instead of Punchdrunk, but as much as I love it, some scenes fall flat for me (like the quiz kid and the elf lookin guy at the bar) due to too much ambition if anything, punchdrunk is much simpler and just as honest and strange, great movie.

Anyways...
