great presenation, weak list. i'll write more after 24.
one thought: where is It's a wonderful life and 400 blows?
EDIT:
My first thoughts: thank god there's no fight club. i guess i have to revisit vertigo, cause it seems to get so much acclaim, i don't remember thinking it was
that great (a four star movie, for sure). the only kubrick choice i'm unsure about is the shining. i prefer strangelove. but then again, i haven't seen any kubrick since my favorite director was tarantino. speaking of which, pulp fiction is WAYYY too high. i mean i know we all love it, but
that much? the more and more i think about it, the more and more i almost like jackie brown just as much. Magnolia
should be that high. Annie Hall -- yay! The more and more i think about this movie the more and more i appreciate it. earlier this month even i wouldn't have said it deserved a spot on the list, but what the hell. just seeing the presentation for it makes me appreciate it so much more. maybe i'm fickle, i just think my tastes are constantly evolving and maturing. as for eternal -- come on. citizen kane -- about right. thank god there was none of the overrated godard crap. but damn, no 400 blows? how can you
not love that movie? wait, i just realized something, no wes anderson, right? that's a relief. another thing, is raging bull not on the list!? i suppose the scorsese selections are good enough, but raging bull is still his best movie. Stiill not sure if 8 1/2 is better than la dolce vita (la strada is still the best), but i'm still happy we have a fellini on there.
oh yeah, and i've never seen mullholand drive
in conclusion: although i'm not too happy with the top 15, i've realized that i need to revisit kubrick's life works and see more david lynch.
