was anyone ever surprised at the revelation abt norman's mother? it's given away in the title no?
-- älänbänänä (aaaaaathatsfivea...), December 13th, 2005. (alanbanana) (later)

i may be mistaken here but as far as i know the word "psycho" was not commonly used as an abbreviation for "psychopath" until hitchcock's film (it literally means "mind") it came into common currency, as an abbreviation, after that. also i'm not sure that that "psycho" as a title is referring to hopkins' charater.

"a training film for flight attendants - jg ballard"

This reminds me of a comment on one of the Kubrick threads I didn't use:

"AB and I rewatch 2001 earlier this year at a cinema: at the bit where the space-hostess walks upside down in non-gravity, AB looks at her butt and whispers: "I see in the future they can fly to Jupiter but they still haven't cured VPL." We giggle so much we risk being a. chucked out of cinema b. being lynched by humourless kubricoids around us."

So Godard pwned the '60s poll with nine films

...Out of 10 Noms (nobody voted for Le Petit Soldat)

General Doinel (Charles McCain), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 22:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I think I've seen 68 of the 100, but some of them were so long ago I've pretty much forgotten them. I should see more Godard and Truffaut really.

Matt #2 (Matt #2), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 23:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I've seen 84 of them, I believe. And seen enough of a few more that I know I don't need to watch the rest.

i like how a lot of these have comments by both "j.d." and "justyn dillingham"

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd say Breathless andMasculin-Feminin are Godard's only 'entertaining' '60s films, as long as we're trashing the Masters. The others I usually forget 3 days after I've seen them.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 14:25 (eighteen years ago) link

morb you nutter band of outsiders is one of the most entertaining films ever! EVER! don't tell me it's not hilarious when they race through the lourve!!

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 14:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Dr. Strangelove is Kubrick's best, but it wouldn't have been in my top 5. If I'd remembered to vote my top 2 movies would've probably been Mary Poppins and Red Beard (Kurosawa's best alongside Rashomon). Blount otm about 2001.

Hmm...did my ballot get there? I think it would have come from "ian".

hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 16 December 2005 11:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes it probably did, looking at those films that didn't make the top 100.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Friday, 16 December 2005 11:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait a minute... Cincinatti Kid got a #1 vote but The Silence didn't? You read my ballot upsiide down!! I demand a recount >:(

Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 16 December 2005 12:55 (eighteen years ago) link

dammit, the best film of the '60s, as proven by its position on my ballot, is at #130! I am appalled. I also note that there was another film with a #1 vote there, besides the glorious An Actor's Revenge, so assume these were both given a #1 and bugger all else.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 16 December 2005 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, the race thru the Louvre is a great SCENE (and I model many of my out-of-town museum visits on it).

Playtime finishing at only #45 is even more scandalous than the nonsupport for Chelsea Girls, the Masque of the Red Death and Kes; yet like 2001 it should be seen in a theater if at all possible.

I wonder what poster art Doinel would've used for Wavelength.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 December 2005 14:34 (eighteen years ago) link

"Wait a minute... Cincinatti Kid got a #1 vote but The Silence didn't? You read my ballot upsiide down!! I demand a recount >:("

Dude, you numbered it that way. (checks ballot) Oh of course, you were ranking by points, and I read it as positions. My bad. Luckily, your's was the only ballot done that way, so I can do a recount fairly easily. It will be up next week(and it'll be just a list-no pix). There'll be some definite changes in the results, altough the top 3 will stand. (maybe even the top 5.)

Sorry about the screw-up.

BTW Hobart, I got your ballot, but in the rush to finalize things I forgot to note the #1 on my rankings document. The film did get the 33 points it had coming though.

Once again I'm sorry about the screw-up.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 December 2005 19:57 (eighteen years ago) link

i should have voted! i could have saved Seppuku and Winter Light! ah well.. great list.

poortheatre (poortheatre), Saturday, 17 December 2005 03:14 (eighteen years ago) link

calling 2001 "vapid spectacle" seems pretty daffy to me. it's flat out "spectacle", with all the good implications of that and none of the bad. 2001's greatest flaw is being so open to parody and homage that people could see it today and pronounce the really beautiful passages "vapid". ah well.

interesting list, overall.

ryan (ryan), Saturday, 17 December 2005 03:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Yay, my #1film is at 130. I was the only one to vote for it, as were 2 other people who voted for "An actor's revenge" and "The Flicker".

Jibé (Jibé), Sunday, 18 December 2005 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay: I've got to update my spreadsheet and get the new rankings for the poll, but here's the biggest news at a glance:

1. Two films have been removed from the Top 100 in exchange for two others.

2. Two films have fallen out of the top ten.

3. The positions of several other films have changed.

I'll be back in a little bit with entries for two new members of the Top 100 and a list of new rankings.

"Not an especially interesting Aldrich film."

Still, it's one of the better ones in which you can see Charles Bronson punch out John Cassavettes.

Where Daddy takes Tuesday Weld clothes shopping

Yes, this is a great/disturbing/wacko scene in Lord Love a Duck... which has a good first half-hour then becomes another desperate would-be-hip Hollywood comedy of the era. Not as painful or interesting as Skidoo, admittedly.

two years pass...

Watched the CC edition of Medium Cool over the weekend -- the Chicago police riot footage, with Verna Bloom wandering thru in her yellow dress, is a mindblower still, tho I'm mixed on the overtly scripted stuff. Nice single-scene role for Peter Boyle. Also adroit use of that Mothers song about "psychedelic dungeons" and fake hippies.

I guess it might do better than tie for 204th now. Even tho "Look out, Haskell, it's real!" was dubbed in later.
