Slowly, slowly, I'm doing mine. So many great films, so many I enjoyed... it's bloody difficult to keep it to a hundred.
Redcafe Top 100 Movies: this time we're going to pull it off, honestly
- Thread starter R.N7

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Thought I had done my list, and saw a couple I had forgot about..
I've narrowed it down to 158 films, with 63 films fighting for the last five spots on the list.
I've decided not to include documentaries and shorts, as a way of forcing myself to narrow it down even more.
So, I'm leaving out great documentaries like A Respectable Life, Reindeerspotting, Crumb and Hoop Dreams.
And shorts like La Jetee and Tale of Tales.
I might change my mind later though.

No documentaries for me either, but I have included one short, The Telephone Box, just too good to leave out.
I think I may end up having two or possibly three shorts but certainly no documentaries.
How badly will I be judged if I include Mighty Ducks on my list?
I've got my list but cannot for the life of me put it in any order. I might just do the top 10 in order and randomize the rest...
How long have we caught? I feel like I have about 1000 films still to watch, definitely not close to getting a list together.
As long as you include Duck Soup, not badly.
I've got loads of films I'd like to see as well so at least a few weeks more.
That's my problem too. I'm reasonably happy with the ordering of my top 10, and 11-30 are more or less interchangeable. If I did the list again I think the top 30 would more or less remain the same selection of films but may appear in a different order.
After that, whenever I remembered a film (with the aid of various 'best movies of 1991/92/93...'-type searches), I would try to remember how I felt about it the first time I watched it, then look at the movies ranked in a certain area then try to judge which of them I would most like to watch again right now. Not an exact science though.
Never seen Duck Soup, but came very close to adding Ed the Duck to my list.
Yeah, I'd like to know this too. I reckon when all is said and done, I'll have watched only a tiny fraction of the Top 100, so there's room for me to expand my horizons beforehand. Though in reality I'm more than likely to re-watch Hook than see Inception or The Matrix for the first time.
Still, it'd be good to have a deadline in place.
I'll set October 23th as a preliminary deadline, how about it
Can't believe I forgot the lost boys and the game.
I'll give this more thought before posting again. The scale of the job demands it!

My bad. I meant Howard the Duck, the George Lucas movie, not Edd the Duck, Andy Peters' puppet sidekick on 90s kids TV.
Sounds good to me. Are you creating the separate thread for list submissions?
That was the plan originally but seeing as everyone is posting theirs in here I might just scrap that.
Preliminary list. In alphabetical order. A mix of all the genres I like. Was sad I couldn't fit Kickboxer in.

The good thing is I have an IMDb account and rate most of the movies I have seen (I have probably forgot quite a few to be honest though).
I used to venture into imdb quite a lot back in the day but I grew tired of rating films and how highly new movies got rated so I started using icheckmovies instead and I've never looked back.
Nowadays I just quickly check the imdb message board of a film after I've seen it.
It's a tragedy that the Mubi forum got binned, used to be the greatest place for film discussions.

You should check out Letterboxd. It's got quite a few professional critics as well as a large user base.
I just signed up, interface seems a bit clunky but it's always nice to read reviews.

Followed.
Just finished rewatching Last Year at Marienbad. It stays on the list.
Dont think I have ever read so many film lists, just to jog my memory of what I have watched.
I have my list , but keep taking some out , putting others in , then changing my mind.

I noticed that there's no Fassbinder, Polanski or Pasolini. I'll have to do something about that later, might cut about 15 films.

I assume The Mirror is the Tarkovsky one and not the horror from a couple of years ago?
You're right, good sir.
The lamps are not what they seem
I really only use imdb to read what the film is about, I take no notice of the ratings, some of them are way of the mark.
Couldn't get on with Marienbad. Hiroshima mon amour I really like but again the opening montage left me cold. I think I'm too lazy for that level of abstraction, I need something more immediate mainlined to my brain. It's why Persona remains my least favourite Bergman.
One of the most oppressive and bleak films I've seen. You can almost taste the dirt and sweat, a near masterpiece. However I hate that it uses the Kangaroo footage in the context of a fictional narrative. Bresson does the same with hares in Mouchette and it doesn't sit well with me. It would be different if it was within a documentary context (I believe that was the original intent of the filming) but I don't feel that art is a good enough justification. I may rip the file and make my own edit because the rest of the film is brilliantly made.
Much overlooked director, less hip than the likes of Kenji Suzuki but with more to say. Empire of Passion is my favourite although it's probably the most conventional of his films I've seen. Gohatto was one of the last great samurai films and Mr Lawrence is like the ultimate dinner party guest list. In the Realm of the Senses is perhaps the sweetest violent, pshychosexual romances.
Great. The Burroughs jazz edit is fairly interesting too, in a Giorgio Moroder way.
Visconti is still on the to do list, with Ivan's Childhood and Lacombe Lucien right at the top. I guess Harmony Korine has got to be experienced too at some point.
Never heard of it but I like a musical.
Hmm Alan Parker and Nic Cage you say, will have to watch that.
It's so good.
Doesn't get the credit it deserves. A brutal dystopian vision of society to match the brutal action. Gave me the same feeling as when I read Huxley's Brave New World and realised shit it already happened.
yep

I watched Wake in Fright drunk, quite an experience that was. The kangaroo scene didn't really bother me that much as I was too captivated and thought it was a really powerful scene. I also think the story behind it sort of mirrors what the movie's about.
I've loved everything I've seen from Oshima so far, Senses, Mr. Lawrence, Gohatto. He's very different from all other Japanese directors, way more unflinching. Empire of Passion and Death by Hanging are on my watch list.
The Leopard is seen as Visconti's masterpiece but it didn't really do much for me, much prefer Ossessione which is probably the greatest European film-noir adaptation even though it kinda belongs more to neo-realism, it's sexual undertones are way ahead of it's time too. The Damned is kinda messy but it's good and bad parts made up a really twisted and powerful film.
Ivan's Childhood and Lacombe Lucien are great films that I could easily see slot into your list, Gummo too perhaps.

A few of those will most definitely make it into your top 100. I've highlighted the 10 I would recommend you watching presto. I haven't highlighted The Godfathers cos it's a fecking crime you haven't watched them yet so get to it ffs.
In the Name of the Father is a great film, featuring the last great performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. It narrowly missed out on my list.
