Two from my own top 20, and also a couple that wouldn't be in my top 5,000.

i'm guessing jurassic park is probably gonna be the only dinosaur/monster movie that makes the list? maybe king kong has a shot.
i have never been brave enough to watch texas chainsaw. maybe this is the year.

I saw it for the first time in the last year. It is such an evil insane film

psycho was my number five. last saw it in lincoln center, accompanied by the philharmonic strings. it was sweet.

I learned recently that The Birds was based on a Daphne du Maurier short story. Just watched Rebecca for the first time this week, it is a huge step up in quality from his first du Maurier adaptation, Jamaica Inn, released a year earlier

I watched Psycho just last night, for the first time in years. I completely forgot about the first 45 minutes, the setup to why this soon to be murdered! person is out at the hotel

Good mix of the masterful and the godawful. I look forward to the obscurities on individual ballots.

Showgirls was fun to watch, it had a largely straight content (except for Gina Gershon) with an entirely gay sensibility, which I loved, but I’m just not thinking it is one of the best 100 films ever
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 October 2021 01:30 (two years ago) link
at this point wondering if Buñuel, Kiarostami, Martel, Fellini, Visconti, Akerman, Rohmer, Weerasethakul, or Varda will show up
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 October 2021 01:32 (two years ago) link
I hope In the Mood for Love will feature in the top 50. and Twin Peaks: The Return
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 October 2021 02:04 (two years ago) link
and Taxi Driver and McCabe & Mrs. Miller
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 October 2021 02:10 (two years ago) link
Hitchcock may have filmed Rebecca, The Birds and Jamaica Inn, but it was another director's Daphne du Maurier adaptation I had highest on my ballot, hope it places.

also recently rewatched Don't Look Now (is that the one you mean?), a really great film
― Dan S, Saturday, 30 October 2021 08:54 (two years ago) link
That's the one, yeah.

I'm sure the regulation entry for each (or two, for Fellini) will be along, and then people will complain that it's not one of the director's other films.
I'm enjoying stuff like Jurassic Park appearing. One thing that happens a lot with the yearly films polls is people saying "Oh I only saw a few films this year so I won't vote". I get the impression that when the scope is "all films ever", this is attacked on both sides from "I could have knuckled down and seen everything good this year but not everything good ever" and "I have, though, seen enough films to have my opinion on the best, my taste".
Or maybe people who wouldn't ordinarily have voted have done so as a tribute to Morbs - which is hilarious, he would have hated that shit.

Looks like list will be end up pretty conventional + generational (JP, Groundhog, BTTF). I know all of you people are film buffs, but are all the GREATS truly that great? Where's the cult stuff?

and uh how many best-of-all-time polls boast Jurassic Park among the finalists?
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 30 October 2021 11:43 (two years ago) link
cult stuff will be in individual ballots I'd imagine tho there are films I think of as ilx canon like spring breakers that may still place depending on who voted
I have to assume most of the directors Dan cites will appear with the poss exception of Martel (tho I hope she makes it in). Wong surely a lock unless vote splitting does for him

haven't really had the time to comment but enjoying this rollout & not really mad at anything included here, the pop stuff is p good (& jurassic park is straight up wonderful, dlh otm as ever) it's not like john hughes garbage is placing or anything
& mandy is excellent fuiud (not that I voted for it)
some all-timers here I would have voted for if I'd done a long ballot (I did a 25 and didn't nominate anything or look at the nom list), lots I still need to get round to; to me the most random thing is the crumb doc, had no idea it was rated so highly. I was the number 1 vote for daisies and I believe I also voted for c&j, anatolia & johnny guitar
now that I'm not looking at the poll on zing on the phone I'm gonna go back & look at the images which is always one of the great pleasures of these things

oh also not to chainpost but I hope we managed to get more than 2 woman directors in the next 50 :/

Maren Ade will crack the top 20 imo xp

True of course, but I still thought ilx's consensus was more distinct from S&S and TSPDT and random hits that everybody loved at the time...
― gospodin simmel, Saturday, 30 October 2021 12:34 (two years ago) link
Buñuel would claim the top five if it were up to me.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 30 October 2021 12:41 (two years ago) link
I mean, scrolling through I'm seeing a lot in this top 100 that is in the S&S top 1000, so to be sure it's sort of alt-canon rather than anything amazingly leftfield I guess

I'm assuming the other Tango & Cash voters had it highly placed and it's still to come
― siffleur’s mom (wins), Saturday, 30 October 2021 12:45 (two years ago) link
This 100's point of difference won't be outrageous left-field calls so much as leanings and peccadilloes, such as lots of Bunuel (he hopes)

Dunno if ilxors are big on Ray, very few dinosaurs in his movies
Will be sad when Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Jia Zhangke and Paul Schrader don't place but hey

Somewhat baffled at the "not top tier Spielberg" take on Jurassic Park. Can imagine getting angry if you have no time for the man in the first place, but his strenghts lie in sadism and suspense, JP delivers on that as well as anything in his work apart from Jaws.
Anyway, BTTF and Jurassic Park both feel like unobjectionable mainstream choices to me, in another world there could be Nolan batmans and Star Wars on this list (the latter prob will show up actually, sigh)
