The Pianist is definitely an alternative, Cul-De-Sac too.
I'm not that crazy about Chinatown. I like it but that's about it. It's kinda the same with Rosemary's.
I really need to give Repulsion another watch. Don't really remember much about it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

I really like The Tenant. Might make room for it.
Heeeeeeh.
I remember watching The Tenant straight after Repulsion and feeling slightly underwhelmed with it.
But it could also use a rewatch.

Is Fiddler on the Roof not as great as I thought it was? I don't think I've seen it yet.

I like a few , Grease , The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I like a few too. Singin' in the Rain, Cabaret, All That Jazz & Dancer in the Dark
Yes forgot about them , not seen the other 2
I had completely forgotten about that film. Not the usual uplifting feeling you get from a musical...
I'd also mention Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.
Tim Burtons Sweeney Todd is the only decent film he's made in two decades. It's been forgotten though
The Tenant is the one where Polanski throws himself out of his window, twice, right?
This is too difficult. I keep changing my order... I'm gonna just paste it in now.

I don't even rememba
Nice list , a few films in there I had forgot about, mmm I may have to edit my list now.
Now that I think about it, I think it's the one where the french polish guy moves into a new apartment and his couchsurfers turns out to be different personalities of himself so he ends up throwing himself out the window. Pretty chilling iirc.
ffs
Mortal Kombat and (!!) 4 F&F movies - it has to be a joke, right?

Mortal Kombat is a film I watched on repeat a million times as a kid
I'm very nearly ready to post my top 100. Every new top 100 is giving me loads more films I need to see, it's a lot of fun really! I think with my top 100, I'm going to post a review of my first choice as well. Full on film hipsterism. I think the deadline is the 23rd, but hope to have it done before then.
I might extend deadline. It's not over until I've finished Satantango.
432 minutes?! That's not a film, that's a fecking TV series.
Yeah, I'm kinda treating it as a series, watched 2 hours today, stopped when there was an intermission. I'll try and do a longer sitting tomorrow.432 minutes?! That's not a film, that's a fecking TV series.
It's so harsh and hypnotic.
I'm more OCD about the format than the order of my top 100.
Well, took me a while, still lots of film to see as I'm sure this list will change.
***Wizard People, Dear Reader was never properly commercially released, I'm not sure if it really counts but I do think it's a genuine stand-alone piece of art and comedy film. It's one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

Good stuff
You enjoy historical epics but no Barry Lyndon on the list??
You enjoy historical epics but no Barry Lyndon on the list??
Is today the deadline or is it being extended at all?
Cheers, only have a couple of additions since I haven't watched too much recently but suppose that can be enough to change things sometimes.
I've watched loads of films since then inception of the thread but I think only Spring in a Small Town is a sure shot for the list, and possibly Satantango.
It's one I didn't get round to watching before today, I know it's meant to be absolutely cracking though.
I assumed as much.
Yeah, it's really good, people always seems to have a strong opinion of it though, they either love it or hate it.
That's not a bad list, still think you ought to watch The Thin Red Line. Also... In The Mood for Love, Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, Raise the Red Lantern...
THX138 is very underrated. I thought it was very good.
First time i've ever seen Porky's listed above Cool Hand Luke.
