Greatest Films Ever

[Reel]

Thanks for clearing that up. Polka's kinda film illiterate. Gotta straighten him out sometimes...

On another note, I just watched "The intouchables" and I think I need to add it to my list. One of the funniest, most beautiful movies I've seen in a loooong while. I'm surprised there's no thread about it.

I definitely enjoyed Intouchables as well.

I'm '83 as well, so:

1983: Videodrome

1988: Dead Ringers (man, 80s Cronenberg...)

1977: Suspiria (amazing year for movies)

Also, I prefer Vivre Sa Vie to À Bout de Souffle (which I also like very much).

I'm '83 as well, so:

1983: Videodrome

1988: Dead Ringers (man, 80s Cronenberg...)

1983: Risky Business

1988: Dangerous Liaisons

These were tough.  Surprisingly, both of these years had some decent releases.

1983: Risky Business

I finally saw this for the first time the other day.  I had always assumed it was the early '80s equivalent of Superbad or American Pie or something, but damned if Paul Brickman didn't come at it with some ambition.  There were parts of it that reminded me of Carnal Knowledge era Mike Nichols.


Anyway, born in 82 (be jealous, Magnolia fans), not a banner year for films, but I'll declare it a tie between Lumet's The Verdict and Costa-Gavras' Missing.

82:

Poltergeist

and I really like Amityville II :The Possession


I guess honorable mentions are cool.

Wait, so are we categorizing movies by year?

'Cuz 1999 is the best year for movies, EVER. Seriously.

[polkablues]

That's basically an unassailable fact at this point.

Yeah dude, it's like totally unassailable... *Nods head in cool hipster way*

[polkablues]

Feel free to assail it if that floats your boat.

we're doing favorite movies by birthyear.So yours, 1995:

Candyman

I really come off as a douchey horror guy here, don't I? Can't help it. It's my thing.

[polkablues]

I was just about to back you up, but then I realized that Candyman is from 1992.  1995 was Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh.

I was born in '92, dude...  So, I guess:

Unforgiven
Reservoir dogs
The player
Malcolm x
Man bites dog
the crying game
glengarry glen ross
Aladdin
Hard boiled
El mariachi
A few good men


Shit, I had a hell of a year... 


Oh and "Candyman"? What about HEAT!? CASINO!? THE USUAL SUSPECTS!? BRAVEHEART!? LA HAINE!? POCA-FUCKING-HONTAS!?

As reelist pointed out, the last couple of pages, while you have apparently only been reading your own posts, the rest of us have been picking the best movie from our birth year.

So yeah, if you're from1999 (starting to seem likely considering how hyperactive and erratic you've been lately), feel free to tackle that beast.
