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!

Not the one with Jimmy the Toucan?
xp

ooh, speaking of Busby

5 Gold Diggers of 1933 LeRoy, Mervyn 1933

also amazing. and 1935 -- all those gliding pianos!

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.

My ballot, in the event anyone cares. (Why did I think The Scarlet Empress had a chance of placing?)

1. The Scarlet Empress (1934)
2. Footlight Parade (1933)
3. The Music Box (1932)
4. UHF (1989)
5. The Last of Don Juan (1934)

And then here's the full worksheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PJxzJNeqYtGcUSSS75pFhZkdbbHqxpQD7tYRUta5jkM/edit?usp=sharing

Oooh winningly bent list, j.lu!

(And, of course, apologies for missing the revised ballot, clem.)

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

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

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

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.

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.

can't compete with checks list never mind i'll shut up

01. La Jetée (Chris Marker, 1962)
02. Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami, 1997)
03. 3 Women (Robert Altman, 1977)

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

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

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

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.

let it go

As I've made very clear in this poll and elsewhere, the results of these polls are of paramount importance. I'm going to brood on this for months.

:)

1. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)
2. Paris Is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990)
3. Chungking Express (Wong Kar-wai, 1994)
4. Showgirls (Paul Verhoeven, 1995)
5. My Neighbour Totoro (Hayao Miyazaki, 1988)
6. Bicycle Thieves (Vittorio De Sica, 1948)
7. Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979)
8. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
9. Children of Men (Alfonso Cuarón, 2006)
10. 400 Blows, The (François Truffaut, 1959)
11. Happy Together (Wong Kar-wai, 1997)
12. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982)

14. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)
15. Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989)
16. Searchers, The (John Ford, 1956)
17. Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)

20. Graduate, The (Mike Nichols, 1967)
21. General, The (Buster Keaton/Clyde Bruckman, 1926)
22. Best In Show (Christopher Guest , 2000))
23. Fifth Element, The (Luc Besson, 1997)
24. Touch of Sin, A (Zhangke Jia, 2013)
25. Badlands (Terrence Malick, 1973)

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

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.

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.)

21. Southland Tales (Richard Kelly, 2006)
22. Kiki's Delivery Service (Hayao Miyazaki, 1989)

both great

Come over! I have a gorgeous copy.

I didn't vote, but I had a got of enjoyment from the unveiling and the discussions that ensued. No doubt I'll check out some of the ones I have not yet seen and may never have known about without this poll thread.

xp Hey, thank you Dan, likewise! I'm thankful for every single person here's participation—but of course for Eric most of all: I can't thank you enough for all you did to make this happen. This chance to reflect on what movies I really value, and why I do, has truly been a source of meaning and insight.

xpost Aimless, check out Climax which Eric hyped at the bottom of his chronological list.

I see a few other fans of Paris is Burning... And man I have got to track down Possession somehow.

Glad to have the full results. I'm also really appreciating/anticipating all the films this continues to add to my watch-list.

Should be a spankin' new Blu/4K Possession out next year from some label.

right now thinking about the films from this list that I haven’t yet seen, including The Night of the Hunter, The Third Man, The Green Ray, Stop Making Sense, Possession, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, Daisies, California Split, Celine and Julie Go boating

I know, glaring omissions

I know, glaring omissions

Only if your life revolves around watching movies. There are many other studies, hobbies, and activities equally worthy of our time as watching films. For example, I watch about 40 films a year, but I read about 50 books a year. The reading takes a good amount of time away from when I could be watching films, because reading a book takes much longer than 2 hours. I do not regret this choice one bit. Films comprise a much more restricted universe than books, which have been around in some form for about 2500 years now and personally I get more out of them.

Oh wow! WmC also had the Gleaners and I in the top 25 - nice.

Love all those pre-code Barbara Stanwyck movies from j.lu's list: The Miracle Woman, Baby Face, Night Nurse

j.lu and I each had different Pabst/Louise Brooks movies in the low 20s. If all three Pabst/Brooks voters had rallied around the same film... that film still wouldn't have had a chance, I don't think.

Another favourite director of mine with a poor showing (I mentioned him way upthread): Maurice Pialat. Three films got one vote each, two of which were from me.

I had a notion to watch those films from the top 100 that I haven't seen before... Of those, I would probably most look forward to Mirror, and least to Mad Max and Goodfellas.

I like this list, though. Of the 85 or so I've seen, the only one I didn't care for at all was The Wicker Man.
