Okay, the last entry was a major FAIL, depends on the layout of your own LJ, it just shows up funny since LJ cannot handle the table well. I know this is not ideal but you can go to the website, click the top 100 movies and read the tabel from there. Anyway...

( You should have no problemo this time! )

Your new layout is a mystery to me, I had to go to my friends page so I could post comment,lolz.

Anywayz, my top 10 from these 100 ( where are Das Boot,Reservoir Dogs,Alien I etc ???):

1)2001:A Space Odyssey - just like your layout, this movie is an eternal mystery to me.
2)The Godfather I - this is my fav Marlon Brando movie
3)Star Wars IV,A New Hope - because I'm shallow like that
4)Blade Runner - you can see the pattern, I'm a SF fan :). Also, Rutger Hauer forever!
5)Metropolis - I'm a big fan of German in-between-wars art
6)Lawrence of Arabia or you can put here any Charlton Heston movie
7)Gone with the Wind - I just love it,
8)Rachomon (or Kurosawa in general)
9)Pulp Fiction - I like early Tarantino
10)One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - story, Jacko's acting, everything

Layout mystery? I think leave a comment = take a deep breath? Yeah, I kinda changed the words to keep the yoga theme from my title! LOL

Oh. I'm a bit slow tonite. I see it now.

Do you mean Peter O'Toole? Charlton Heston wasn't in Lawrence of Arabia. Or did you mean LoA + the Heston movies that are similar epics?

No The Philedelphia Story? FAIL. If they're going to have a Cary Grant/Katharine Hepburn comedy on this list, it should be The Philedelphia Story, NOT Bringing Up Baby?

Other than that, I like this list. I love Hitchcock (even the more obscure Marnie), Kurosawa, Tarantino, Bergman, the Coen Brothers, and Capra.

Three movies that probably don't belong on this list, but that I've seen dozens of times because I never tire of them are George Cukor's 1939 film The Women, the best Hitchcock-film-that-Hitchcock-didn't-even-direct, Charade (Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn at their most charming), and The Lion in Winter (O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn at their most intense, destructive, and cutting).

Damn, I have never heard about the last one, but I can't say I'm a movie expert. I'm going to try to find that movie.

Before I go to sleep, Dany Boyle anyone? Shallow Grave,Trainspotting? Roman Polanski and his Rosemary's Baby?

meowbunnymeow October 17 2009, 22:48:10 UTC

Polanski? China Town.

Trainspotting sets the benchmark for the Brit Indie movies way before Guy Ritchie... but I don't think his movies are on my list for that reason.

I hated, hated Fargo. That movie would never make my list.

I don't think I would have ranked E.T. so high on the list either.
