Bluemoon's Official Top 100 Films

[Dr Jacoby]

Star Wars has already appeared way down the list.

The Empire Strikes Back?

If at least one of these isn't in the final 13 then I would be dissapointed, don't expect all but at least one.

Planet of the Apes (original)
North by Northwest
The good, the bad and the ugly
Enter the Dragon
Jaws

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Good call for the Apes original, but it won’t be in the top 13.
Reckon 2 of those will be

When films like the matrix (which lets be honest was only raved about for new cgi techiques not the plodding formulatic storyline) are in and not iconic sci-fi classic like PotA it is a sad day in my opinion.

Same with step brothers, choice of comedy classics in this 100 had been woefull if that is the considered one of the best on the list (the other 3 comedies are classics though)

13. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 8/100




One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a 1975 American drama film directed by Miloš Forman, based on the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a new patient at a mental institution, and features a supporting cast of Louise Fletcher, Brad Dourif, Will Sampson, Sydney Lassick, William Redfield, Danny DeVito, and Christopher Lloyd in his film debut.

Filming began in January 1975 and lasted three months, taking place on location in Salem, Oregon, and the surrounding area, as well as on the Oregon coast. The producers decided to shoot the film in the Oregon State Hospital, an actual mental hospital, as this was also the setting of the novel.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is No. 33 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. The film was the second to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role, Director, and Screenplay) following It Happened One Night in 1934, an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 with The Silence of the Lambs. It also won numerous Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards. In 1993, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

Jusf watched for the first time once upon a time in the west.
Fuck me that is No. 15????
Talk about long winded and drawn out.....

If that is 15 and Carry On Camping doesn't make the top 13 then there is no justice in this world

I just don’t get it (yet). I convinced the wife based on the BM review, and we started watching it. We stopped just over a hour in as we’re bored to fu€k. We’ll get back to finishing it when we’ve run out of more interesting things to do with our lives. I reckon we’ll be in our late 80’s though. Will bump the thread in 40 years and let you know our final thoughts.

OFOTCN. No 17 on my list. Perfect film and Jack Nicholson at his finest. Also one of the best, most jump for joy, celebratory endings ive seen to a film. Go chief!

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Great film, the Ken Kesey novel is also worth reading.

I'm getting concerned that my favourite comedy, "Young Frankenstein", has been overlooked.
My second favourite comedy is probably too 80s and too niche - no love for Ferris Bueller?

OFOTCN is yet another 70s classic that I haven't seen.

Ferris bueller is of its time and with reflection the principal is really the hero while bueller a little **** who deserves to be caught and twatted.
