tbh it's completely impossible to predict - we are all Fernando Rey reaching for the ham of hope
Sure of course, but I like the ratcheting up of "some of these will be going home with nothing!"

But Rear Window, which itself has a genius final shot, contains the scariest single shot in cinema history - Burr looking up at US when he sees the ring on Kelly's finger. AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
One million percent. Sucks all air out of the room every single time, but only in context.

Wow, I voted for 4 Lynches but not the (presumably) second-highest Lynch placement. FWWM is great, I didn't consider voting for it because it's too hard to separate it out from the entire Twin Peaks franchise. His darkest and most brutal movie, for sure, but also a great sad performance by Sheryl Lee.

Of course I know which movies get in and which don't, but I don't know if I'd go about pruning down Andrew's list if I didn't.

maybe take out Die Hard, but that's it

what films do people think are going to show up in the top 20?
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:32 (four years ago)
At least one or two or three Scorseses
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:34 (four years ago)
Possibly 1 more AltmanPossibly 1 or 2 Godards
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:36 (four years ago)
1 more Lynch
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:40 (four years ago)
20 kubricks
― Clay, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:43 (four years ago)
:) I can see a Renoir and a film each by Hitchcock, Welles, and maybe Ford, Ozu, Scorsese, and maybe two by Kubrick and Lynch
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:47 (four years ago)
Are people <that> into Eraserhead?
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:51 (four years ago)
I say that because Inland Empire feels a little like a longshot RN.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:52 (four years ago)
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
― Everybody Loves Ramen (WmC), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:52 (four years ago)
I think Inland Empire is a longshot
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:54 (four years ago)
and eraserhead has already placed
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:56 (four years ago)
Twin Peaks: The Return was nominated as well, I believe.
― jmm, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:56 (four years ago)
it was very high on my list
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 00:59 (four years ago)
also voted for Mulholland Drive
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 01:01 (four years ago)
lol, forgot about Eraserhead placing.
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 01:02 (four years ago)
I have a feeling Agnès Varda will be dealt a bad hand via vote-splitting here. She deserves a spot in the top 100, but with which film?
― Everybody Loves Ramen (WmC), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 01:03 (four years ago)
surely Cléo from 5 to 7, but I love a lot of her films
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 01:05 (four years ago)
from here on it's going to be turtles all the way down
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 01:15 (four years ago)
not saying I won't love these films

#1 is an SNL ep from '89

Prediction I'll probably end up feeling silly about: based on my own ballot, and based on the near-obsession found in the ILX thread, Zodiac will be in the Top 20.

Is Children of Men still coming?
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:08 (four years ago)
It'll be pretty funny if Twin Peaks: the Return places. 120 years of movies and we have to pilfer from television.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:11 (four years ago)
sorry you feel that way
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:13 (four years ago)
I love it to death but I'm firmly in the "it's TV" camp.
― Chris L, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:14 (four years ago)
it's tv

it is so much more than tv and more than almost every other movie

It's at #17 in the Shmight & Shmound poll, which overlaps very heavily with this thread

Twin Peaks: The Return was one of the most amazing universes ever constructed, with the weight of all of what came before
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:32 (four years ago)
Still TV
― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:33 (four years ago)
I suspect their top 3 will be the same as ours.
TP:TR shouldn't be on this list because it is only about 40% good, apart from anything else.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:35 (four years ago)
whatever
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:36 (four years ago)
it's about 30% abjectly terrible, fwiw.

Is I'm Thinking of Ending Things TV? Berlin Alexanderplatz? The Wiseman films made for PBS? Etc., etc.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:38 (four years ago)
Berlin Alexanderplatz is TV.

A lot of the Fassbinder TV stuff got retooled as Features and/or was shown theatrically outside Germany.

did i'm thinking of ending things air episodically on a television channel over several months?
