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.

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

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

#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?

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.

it's tv

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.

that is such a ridiculous idea of what is worthy and what is not
― Dan S, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:51 (four years ago)
did i'm thinking of ending things air episodically on a television channel over several months?
― Clay, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:52 (four years ago)
Right, but Twin Peaks: The Return got theatrical showings too...I just think that's a line that gets blurrier all the time and leads to inconsistency.
If it's multi-episode that's the sticking point, I'd again point to Wiseman's films.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 02:54 (four years ago)
Retooled cuts for cinemas are movies (the Fanny and Alexander rule). There's never been a theatrical cut of TP: TR, although I know it's been played in at least one theater.
I'm also not being completely serious here so I'll stop.
