And please put loads of suggestions on this page as I'm positive I will forget many brilliant films.
Have we had a 1960s one yet?

Millhouse (Emile de Antonio)*The power of montage!
Shaft
The Grande Bouffe (Marco Ferreri)*A much better (and less literal) interpretation of The 120 Days of Sodom than Pasolini's crappy version. Four bored bourgeiose men decide to eat themselves to death!
Phantom of the Paradise
Don't Touch the White Woman! (Ferreri)*What if general Custer had fought against Indians in modern Paris? Great surrealist fun.
Barry Lyndon*Definitely underrated.
The Man Who Would Be King
Small Change (Truffaut)*The best film about childhood ever?
The Tenant*The weirdest, most disturbing film Polanski has ever made.
Silent Movie (Mel Brooks)
Cross of Iron (Peckinpah)
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
The Lord of the Rings (Ralph Bakshi)*Loved it as a kid, too bad Bakshi didn't get the chance to make the second half.
The Adventures of Picasso (Tage Danielsson)*The best post-sound silent film I've ever seen.
Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo
1941 (Spielberg)*Spielberg's best film, also his response to Dr. Strangelove.
Life of Brian
Manhattan*Woody Allen's best, probably, though there's plenty to choose from.
Stalker*In my book, the best movie of the decade.

I like the movie fine -- it probly works on me better than any other of AP's, including Bonnie & Clyde -- but there are sequences where the picaresque shtick works less well than others (the gay stay-at-home brave, Richard Mulligan as Custer). It's just not in serious contention for best 20 of the decade. Chief Dan George (in this and Josey W) is certainly one of the supporting actors of the '70s.
btw I spent maybe 15 minutes on my ballot. And am already rueing the absence of Maurice Pialat, "The Day of the Locust," etc.
haha, Bedknobs and Broomsticks is probably the first film I saw of all mentioned.

What does an ILXor think of Joe? I watched this a couple of days ago -- it certainly wasn't fun, and by the end of it I thought it was a bad movie, but it's stuck with me pretty well, and I think maybe it's a decent film without any sympathetic characters.
― Rock Hardy, Saturday, 5 January 2008 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Man I've wanted to see that movie for so long. I was under the impression that the characters weren't meant to be unsympathetic tho?
― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 5 January 2008 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link
i.e. isn't it a "fuck these lousy hippies" rant?
Nobody's cast in a very good light. Even big-eyed baby Susan Sarandon is a fairly whiny weakling with her boyfriend.

I don't think I will ever see what other people see in Suspiria, sadly.

Maybe it's a measure of how hard it is to make a comedy that stays funny, but I note a distinct dominance of serious films in your list.
