And I've yet to see Ashes of Time Redux on BR! bought it yonks ago.
Yeah, I will buy that, 70mm film must look stunning on BR. I loved that film as a kid, (truth to be told, those years I was a huge Dead Can Dance fan too.)
It's certainly stunning, I think it's worth investing in BR for that film alone.
It looks fantastic on Blu-ray, missed out indeed.
Even the subtitles were awful and were taking up most of the screen.

Wilder? Wilder will have multiple on my mine.
I've got Sunset Blvd but Witness for the Prosecution and Double Indemnity just fell a bit short.
The Apartment? Some Like it hot?
Don't see the greatness in The Apartment. Some Like It Hot was good but I didn't really like it enough for it to be on the list.
I'm completely with you on all of that Nils.. Sunset = Bangerang. The others are all more classics of their time than timeless classics for me.
Yeah I'm not sure if they'll make my list. But they are being considered.
Double Indemnity will probably make it.
I loved Some Like it Hot, in fact, I like most of Wilder's stuff. Sunset's his best, though...I think it's one of the best films, ever. Ever.
Right, bumping this to see if we could breathe some life into this again.
The thread probably shouldn't have been stickied.

I posted my final version eons ago. I forgot about Rosencrantz in the first. Silly me.
obviously I know its just me...but I seriously dont know how someone can love films and not have at least one laurel and hardy film in their top 100.
its just.....wrong.
its just.....wrong.
fecking wow!
ok Idve understood the argument that their feature films didnt stand up as well as some of the shorts and then questioning whether a short could be placed in your top 100 films...but just not finding them funny.
wow.
Youre a bit dead inside arent you
what sort of comedy floats your boat? just modern stuff? or anything from pre..say 1940?
Marx Brothers, Keaton, Chaplin > Laurel and Hardy

why do I have to be brain dead , just because I dont like Laurel and Hardy.
I think Chaplin and Keaton are excellent and I also like the Marx Brothers , I would even put the 3 stooges above Laurel and Hardy.
In fact modern funny films dont make me laugh that much
Python films are the funniest films ever made.
Norman Wisdom is better than L&H.
The only comedy that has to be in everyones top 100 is Dr Strangelove....comedy just subjective after that.
god knows maybe its more a reflection on your reading skills
...I just said a bit dead inside and even then I was only taking the piss.though in saying that if you find norman wisdom and the three stooges funnier than L&H, theres definitely something wrong with you
Keaton is great, the general is just fecking splendid. Chaplin was an innovator, a brilliant film maker and a master craftsman, in my opinion he doesnt touch L&H for pure comedy though.
Marx brothers are up there with L&H in my opinion.
feck me...how can anybody not find L&H funny? It's timeless stuff.
OK I have not watched L&H for a long time , I was forced to watch it has a kid by my old man and I think it has soured my view of them.
Perhaps someone else can organize this. I dont have the time to chase others or come up with my own list due to non-caf commitments.
