No love for Boogie Nights, Magnolia and Strange Days. :(

 

[RobMCFC]

This has been great fun over the last few weeks. Thanks @BlueHammer85.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

And another great

 

[Double R]

No love for Boogie Nights, Magnolia and Strange Days. :(

If you loved Magnolia, you should see Robert Altman's Short Cuts if you havent. Loved that film, so surprised when i didnt enjoy Magnolia.

I thought Boogie Nights was ok but could have done without the sequence where it went all Tarantino shoot-up.
I couldn’t get on with Magnolia, thought it was excruciating , despite a strong cast (not including Cruise in that)

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Out of my top 20, very surprised the following didn’t make top 100

Grease, Whiplash, Shrek and the Pianist.

Well done @BlueHammer85 again. Methinks you might have made a rod for your own back now you’re the recognised organiser of official Bluemoon poles...sorry Polls.

The Pianist not being in was a travesty.

Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed Altman’s The Player.

 

[urban genie]

That and Honey were in my top 10

So basically you put in films that morrissey may have referenced in a song or vinyl cover.

Was Billy Liar in you list too Mr Shankly erm sorry Shadrack ;-)


All great films though the 60s KSD

 

[City Hobgoblin]

I had this in my squad, despite it having no chance of making the 100 due to it being decades old, in black and white, quite long and subtitled from Russian.
Would recommend it to anyone though

Are you referring to the drug deal scene with Alfred Molina?
If so, that’s one of my favourite scenes in film!

Think so , I just thought that was a distraction and trying to jump on the Tarantino bandwagon. Wanted more about the characters and the world of pornography, which is definitely an interesting theme for a movie.

 

[Bob Hope]

No Woody Allen films in the 100 which surprises me.
Had Broadway Danny Rose in my top three.
But I did get 16 out of 20 , so can't complain to much.

I like the look of that

 

[BlueHammer85]

No mention of Cider House Rules ?

Id actually compare it to Shawshank in its emotional pull.
Michael Caine, Toby Maguire and Charlize Theron.

give it a watch if you’ve never seen.

 

[RobMCFC]

The Pianist not being in was a travesty.

A few years since I’ve seen this, but yes, it is a very good film.
Obviously there will be many films that we all enjoy that can’t all get in our top 20.

 

[bennyboy]

Great bit of fun but for some reason I was delighted that Shawshank was number 2.
The only film I forgot to put on my list was Dirty Harry.
Thanks again Bluehammer for another great thread.
