I should have voted for Velvet Goldmine, that movie meant a lot to me

Dan S, Thursday, 4 November 2021 23:57 (two years ago) link

came to the thread late, but wanted to say that the 10 minutes or so of ‘Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite’ at the end of 2001 is one of the greatest sequences in any film ever

Dan S, Friday, 5 November 2021 00:07 (two years ago) link

I'm just remembering that splendid exchange from The Lady Eve last night: "I wanna ask you a hypothermical question" "Maybe that would be better to ask the doctor" "never mind the wisecracks..."

calzino, Friday, 5 November 2021 00:13 (two years ago) link

Its a great movie, great ensemble too

I remember reading an interview with Wong Kar Wai where he mentioned that Vertigo was a film that was on his mind when he made In the Mood for Love. He compared the Tony Leung character with Jimmy Stewart, making the point that they both have faces we really like, so we want to overlook how weird and obsessive they are

Dan S, Friday, 5 November 2021 00:24 (two years ago) link

same rule applies to every Indiana Jones movie i guess

Hope we'll get to see the full results. Of my favourite directors who missed the cut, I'd be curious to see how Varda's films ended up. Though I probably didn't help her chances by putting The Gleaners and I in my top 25 instead of Cleo or Vagabond.

Thanks for running this!

Thanks, Dan and Eric.

The Palm Beach Story is my favorite classical Hollywood comedy EVUH (unless The Ladies Man counts as classical Hollywood)!

The Gang's All Here is nutzoid and gay as funk! I bow to anyone who places it at number freakin' two!

I discovered Contactos thanks to the nominations list and I'll be damned if it isn't one of those "well, this is inventing a new cinema language" films.

I waited to see 2001 on a big acreen (AFI Silver), and it was worth the wait. I assume I'm not the only one who noticed that so many of the visual compositions are juuuuust off-center? This must drive Wes Anderson nuts.

100 movies, 2 women directors, one of which is a co-credit for an 18-minute short!

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 5 November 2021 01:59 (two years ago) link

House is one of the most purely entertaining movies ever made.

Chris L, Friday, 5 November 2021 02:05 (two years ago) link

xp there were three! Deren, Chytilová and Akerman, although that's still not enough

I also voted for Martel, Varda, Reichardt, Dash, Livingston, Loden, Hausner, S. Coppola, Ade, Sciamma

Dan S, Friday, 5 November 2021 02:10 (two years ago) link

since cinema began women directors have never been given 1/100th of the resources or opportunities as men directors, so that was bound to be reflected in a list of the top 100 films.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Friday, 5 November 2021 02:15 (two years ago) link

Yeah I get that, still pretty striking though! Not that ILX is different from anyone else, pretty sure just about all top 100 lists would be 98% men.

really good list and a lot I haven't seen in the unranked section. I thought The Brood was creepy and horrible though. I guess I don't like a lot of Cronenberg, the body horror is just too gothic and depressing

Dan S, Friday, 5 November 2021 02:43 (two years ago) link

Nice to see Goodbye, Dragon Inn so high on another list. I love that movie so much that I'm almost afraid to watch it again because I don't know if it will register the same way.

I loved it too. I laugh when I think about my friend's reaction to it when I saw it with him.

I think The Exterminating Angel would have been the other Buñuel I would have voted for

Dan S, Friday, 5 November 2021 02:48 (two years ago) link

(xposts) No problem--I think the highest-ranking out the 10 was Wendy and Lucy in the 800s.

clemenza, Friday, 5 November 2021 02:52 (two years ago) link

Something that may have affected the Top 100, though, is you've got me down for 20 Au hasard Balthazar points--assume those points belong to whoever's next to me on the spreadsheet.

Haha, no idea how that ended up in your column, but I figured out where it went missing from: Dan S.

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Friday, 5 November 2021 03:11 (two years ago) link

If I did it over again i'd nominate more than one film (Children of Men), and vote for La Jétee high up on the list. PlayTime probably woulda found its way in there—I only saw it after voting.

I'd spent a lot of time since the first lockdown re-watching movies from my high school Fiction & Film class, and the more embarrassing parts of my list reflects that.

davey, Friday, 5 November 2021 03:16 (two years ago) link

I'm surprised Days of Heaven was the one Malick, I would have expected Badlands or Thin Red Line before that. (Badlands for me thx.)
