On a side-note and hate me if you will (no one here will hehe), because these are good movies, but The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Harvey, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, It Happened One Night, The African Queen and Gone With the Wind do not crack my top 100.


TV on the Radio plays Conan after the break...
Conan's got this wacky www.hornymanatee.com thing goin' down. He mentioned the url address as a one-off improvisational joke and since there was no such site, FCC rules made the show buy the domain name they mentioned on-air.

I've felt the need to alter my top 20 very slightly. Yes, I took out the John Waters film, not because I don't think the movie is great, it is, but I thought of a film that I loved even more and while I suppose I could have dropped one of the other ones at the bottom, towards the end I was sort of struggling to come up with two or three more to make it twenty. "A Christmas Story" came to mind and I thought that had to be up there, I've seen that movie infinite times, I can qoute many lines from it and let's face it, its one of the greatest comedies of all-time.

Tokolosh mentioned several Fuller movies.
This year I got to see the Naked Kiss, Fixed Bayonets, Pickup on South Street and Shock Corridor.
They all pleased me a lot.
He knew how to go fast without leaving the details that count behind.
The Naked Kiss story is really strange.
The use of colour in Shock Corridor is really effecient - colour blurts out two or three times in this black & white film.

Another guy used colour versus black & white without any warning (i.e. in the Wizard of Oz, the colour parts are apart from the black & white ones, they don't mingle) was Albert Lewin for A Picture of Dorian Gray. To show the portrait itself. I liked that movie quite a lot, even though Angela Lansbury ain't as young-looking as Wilde's character.
Lewin also shot Pandora, a movie that made me chuckle for two reasons : one, it has Marius Goring (from the Red Shoes) belching, two James Mason kissing Ava Gardner is irresistible. She was taller than him, but someone didn't want the audience to notice it. But it shows that he's standing on something.

Damnit, this is the thread in which I spend most of my time preparing for (subconsciously) , and when it actually get here I find myself way too hesitant topost anything other than this excuse. I believe I have way to many movies rattling around in my head and not enough patience or time to give an accurate, non-edit reply to the question at hand.

i'll add more aussie glory to the list with... 'once were warriors'

Once Were Warriors is New Zealand, but yeah, it is a pretty good film. Pretty intense.

Chopper is a great film! Many memorable lines.

I'll add The Proposition on that list too. Another great Australian film.

Planet of the Apes (original)
Liquid Sky
La Dolce Vita
Ran
Slacker
A Scanner Darkly
Drugstore Cowboy
Dawn of the Dead
On the Beach
A Clockwork Orange
High Fidelity
Blow Up
1984
The Lord of the Rings (impossible to separate the movies)
Superstar (the Karen Carpenter Story)
Soylent Green
Decline of Western Civilization

Slacker is great. I just wish they'd remaster it, 'cause the audio is terrible.
The outdood scenes are the worst. Passing cars make it almost impossible to hear the dialogue.

I love how The Naked Kiss starts off with a bang. The fight where she gets her wig pulled of her head, and she then beats the crap out of her pimp. All this happens with a jazz soundtrack in the background. There's a beautiful song sung by one of the handicapped kids at the hospital, where she goes to work, so that she can change her life and leave the past behind. She earns her respect from the community, only to loose it again later.

 


I highly recommend The Big red One, if you haven't seen it yet.
