That at least gives me some more context, even though I think he's incorrect to assume that anyone in the crew would necessarily understand, let alone stop, an assault that they may or may not realize their director is carrying forward on camera. Has the actress said anything about it?
My top 5 is pretty cemented and has been for 15+ years 1. Memento 2. True Romance 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 5. The Prestige Beyond that I'd probably go: 6. In Bruges 7. No Country for Old Men 8. The Assassination of Jesse James 9. The Departed 10. Blue Valentine 11. Inglorious Basterds 12. Drive 13. 500 Days of Summer 14. Blue Velvet 15. Lord of War 16. Seven Psycopaths 17. Inception 18. American History X 19. Dog Day Afternoon 20. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Next 20 but in no particular order: Goodfellas Casino Lost Highway The Lives of Others Rope Funny Games Chaos Theory The Weather Man Heathers Office Space 28 Days Later The Big Lebowski Old School Little Miss Sunshine Almost Famous Reign Over Me Match Point Stranger Than Fiction The Hangover Collateral
1. No Country For Old Men (undisputed) 2. The Truman Show 3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 4. Warrior 5. Children of Men 6. The Departed 7. Logan 8. Dunkirk 9. The Shawshank Redemption 10. Nope 11. Jurassic Park 12. Hell or High Water 13. The Thing 14. Spider-Man 2 15. Prisoners 16. Pig 17. Die Hard 18. The Dark Knight 19. Nightcrawler 20. Seven plenty of other movies I've given 4.5/5 stars to on Letterboxd, mostly based on how I feel in the moment (Killers of The Flower Moon, All That Jazz, Belfast, The Matrix for example)
Repulsion is also on my list and tbh I’m not too keen on what Vincent Gallo (Buffalo ‘66) has become but I still love those films
seeing everyone's lists just reminds me again that there will never be enough time to see all of these great films isn't that kinda beautiful
Hell yeah, another one for NOPE. I definitely used Letterboxd to help create my list and kind of left out films I'd given five stars but hadn't seen in a while (Eternal Sunshine, for example, hoping that holds up) and anything that was really recent or that I hadn't seen more than once. I've seen NOPE like four times now though and it legitimately gets better with every watch. I think it might be a masterpiece. It's the reason Get Out isn't on my list, which would definitely also be a contender. Gallo is another one that gives me the heebie-jeebies
I thought I'd go insane if I thought about this too much. I've probably missed loads of things or put them in the wrong order but whatever. 1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2) The Shining 3) Shaun of the Dead 4) Jurassic Park 5) Mulholland Drive 6) Everything Everywhere All At Once 7) Boogie Nights 8) The Lord of the Rings (All of 'em) 9) The Wailing 10) Threads 11) Empire Strikes Back 12) Parasite 13) Do The Right Thing 14) Grosse Pointe Blank 15) Beasts of the Southern Wild 16) In Bruges 17) Trainspotting 18) Metropolis 19) Drive 20) The Exorcist Films are fucking great.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Social Network Se7en Raiders of the Lost Ark Unbreakable The Empire Strikes Back Arrival The Lord of the Rings The Truman Show Mad Max: Fury Road Toy Story Inception Cabin In the Woods The Silence of the Lambs Knives Out Primer The Matrix Jurassic Park No Country For Old Men Nope Threw a bunch of stuff I had given 5 or 4.5 to on Letterboxd into the Chorus ranker and this is what it gave me. Feels pretty good - the top 5 are usually what I cite as my top five but the order could shift on a given day. I cheated by grouping LOTR as one thing and by only including one Star Wars. Not endorsing Shane Carruth by any means, but I can't deny how important Primer was to me.
Did this in 20ish minutes just off the top of my head. Probably missing several important ones but whatever. In no order. Goodfellas Adventureland From Russia with Love Moonlight The Thing Zodiac Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Blade Runner 2049 The Big Lebowski Hubie Halloween Gone in 60 seconds Fast Five Tommy Boy Punch Drunk Love Mission Impossible: Fallout Home Alone Thief Sorcerer Mad Max: Fury Road Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I don't even know if I've seen 20 movies. Here are 5 that come to mind though as definite favorites, and movies I've seen time and time again and always think 'damn, what a classic'. Sixth Sense / Hot Fuzz / Wall-E / The Matrix / Back to The Future.
It's at least giving me faith that it holds up. I held off on including it on mine because it's probably been almost a decade since my last watch, but lord knows I loved it in college.
It's been good seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood make lists, I'm of the growing opinion that it may be Tarantino's best. Also love seeing Punch Drunk Love because it's definitely a personal favorite.
I watched it again recently and if anything I have even more appreciation for it now. I love it so much.
yeah I think it’s his best. And Punch Drunk Love was one of the first movies I saw that changed how I thought about/viewed movies.
Not strict at all with the order, and so many can be swapped out for another banger. Movies are good. 1. Dazed & Confused (Richard Linklater, 1993) 2. Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese, 1990) 3. Toy Story 2 (John Lasseter, 1999) 4. The Matrix (The Wachowskis, 1999) 5. The Apartment (Billy Wilder, 1960) 6. Boogie Nights (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1997) 7. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Robert Zemeckis, 1988) 8. Do The Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989) 9. Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino, 2009) 10. Sullivan's Travels (Preston Sturges, 1941) 11. The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) 12. Princess Mononoke (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997) 13. Ed Wood (Tim Burton, 1994) 14. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Trey Parker, 1999) 15. Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) 16. Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick, 1999) 17. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch, 2001) 18. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991) 19. La Dolce Vita (Federico Fellini, 1960) 20. Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)
