Bluemoon's Official Top 100 Films

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'd say Allen is a bit Marmite; people either love him or hate him. I'm more in the second category (not so much "hate", more "don't like"). Play It Again Sam was very good, though.
 
No Paths of Glory (1957)
No Clockwork Orange (1971)
No Barry Lyndon (1975)

It's a Wonderful Life only 51 and The Producers not even in the list?
Give over!
What a heap of shit that list is.
My top 10:

10 The Empire Strikes Back
9 Kind Hearts and Coronets
8 Passport to Pimlico
7 You Only Live Twice
6 Young Frankenstein
5 Forbidden Planet
4 Dr Zivargo
3 The Day the Earth Stood Still (Original)
2 The Producers
1 It's a Wonderful Life
 
right folks!

before we hit the bookshelves

do we include all books, autobiographys etc ? or keep it Novel based ?

ideas...
 
Whilst mine will be mostly fiction, there would be a few biographies that I might include, so all books is a good option.

You'll have to see what the results look like when they start rolling in, but I reckon you'll get a lot more books with one vote than you did with the films. I'm sure it will be interesting nonetheless.
 
Only one comedy in the top 50 is pretty much ridiculous; only about a half dozen (and one of them was fucking Step Brothers) or so overall. Far too many fairly generic action films -- except not a single James Bond film (several copies of James Bond films). Too many horror films. Not enough strong acting performances. The number of women who participated in this survey is, I'm guessing, minimal -- were there any?

I'm sorry to bitch -- but compared to the Top 100 records thread or the top 100 songs thread where we saw a lot more innovation and IMO quality rewarded with votes, I think this list is a little disappointing. I know this is about "favo(u)rites" though, and a good shoot-'em-up is always fun.

I got 7 films in, and 4 on the "just missed" list. The most unforgiveable omission on both the top 100 and the "just missed" list is Fargo. The Coen brothers had several others that made it; why not their masterpiece? IMO it's clearly their best film and was arguably one of the best films of the 1990s. And, to reiterate, despite the plethora of action flicks, no James Bond films on either -- I had Goldfinger on mine.
