That list is *beep* 8 1/2 was hella boring and it was number one on there. Also, the cabinet of Dr. Caligari? I understand that for the time it was good, and it was very influential in terms of film history- but does anyone actually watch it for enjoyment? I doubt it.

i love 8 e mezzo, one of my faves
sharejust lost all faith in humanity.
shareI, a 17 yera old, saw The Rules of the Game a week ago and absolutely loved it. The social commentary, the camera work, the acting, the pacing, everything was just brilliant. It is probably #2 in my book, behind La Dolce Vita.
shareIt always thought that this was a weak list because they don't give credit to recent movies.... I mean, come on, Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction are not even there.
My Top 20:

This site has the most complete and believable list of the best 100 movies i have seen.
I agree that the list is very good. It's amazing how individual the movie experience is! There are films on the list which I detest, but many that I like and a few that I love. My current Great Films list contains about 25 films, 15 of which are on the theyshootpictures top 100. FWIW, some of my favorites that are not on the list are: Sullivan's Travels, Best Years of Our Lives, The Red Shoes, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Bonnie & Clyde, The Sweet Hereafter & Fargo.
shareI agree with you 100% Blunic3; theyshottpictures.com probably has the best list available period.
shareThey have 9 films from the 1920's, but only 3 films from the 1990's?
Seems extremely biased towards old movies.
EDIT: I was referring to the first list.
Well, we have Tarantino (sp?), who I think is very talented. Pulp Fiction was great, and (I thought) Reservoir Dogs was even better. But I don't think he is a genious, because all it is is amazing writing. How he uses dialog is very unique. Yes, I just contradicted myself, but I would NEVER compare him to Ingmar Burgman, Felini, Hitchcock, Renoir, Malle... I just don't think he is to there standards. I don't think is has anything to do with the age of a movie, I just think it is ironic that the best films tend to be older.
But in 50 years, Akira Kurosawa, Godard...might be unknown and forgotten and (hope to God not), Crash might be considered a classic. (I hated Crash)
This might seem very "ADDish", but I just got out of school (yes, highschool) and I had to fight my way through my Drama teacher, because he thought Darren Aronofski (sp?) was a bad film maker. I based my side on Pi and Requiem, and he based his on the Fountain (which I haven't seem). So I'm just blowing off some steam.
And very sorry for the very commonly misspelled words. I was brought up where is a word is spelt wrong, a red line would appear under it.
Is there anything more boring than stacking up films like prize chicken? There are numberless criteria for liking a film. To say "such and such is my No 1" means absolutely nothing.
I love La règle du jeu because of its wonderful dialogue and pace. It is almost as good as a play by Marivaux, which I am sure it was meant to resemble. Anybody who doesn't understand French ought to be wary of judging this film.
Its non-fancy cinematography is another of its many virtues. It leaves "students of film" with little to say and their silence is gold, in my book.
Anybody who loathes Citizen Kane ought to love this.
"Its non-fancy cinematography..."
It used deep-focus at a time when it was much more difficult to obtain than now. In addition, there is an extremely high number of complicated dolly shots. You obviously have little to say about the art of this film.
There should be few new movies on the list, and I think theyshootpictures.com is a great list. In 10-20 years, more recent films might enter. They have to stand the tide of time, it is crucial!
On the other hand, I think some older films should not be on "the greatest films" lists. I am not afraid to say my opinion, so here it comes. Films like King-Kong and Blade Runner are dated. You can call it unreasonable for King-Kong, as it was made so early, but it still is dated. Blade runner is not the best example, I know, but almost all science fiction films turn silly with time. Being classic and revolusionizing should count for something, and it does. But maybe it counts too much?
And the probably most praised film of recent time is "Schindlers list", which I did not like at all. The most overrated film of all time, and just like the film itself, the message of the film was black-white. Very inaccurate and "convincing" to paint the Nazis that way. But I wount go anymore into it.
Personally, I want to point at "the graduate". It was made 40(!) years ago, and when I watched it, it could might aswell have been made today. It felt so new and current, and the entire film was great. I think, and believe, that it will be more hailed in the future.

A film is not overrated just because you didn't like it. Schindler's List deserves all the credit it gets.
