Miha's right. With 20 panelists we would likely get enough movies to then compile a top 100 list.
Stop being a slacker, Doc. We're doing 100.
What? I meant slacker as in stop being a lazy cnut.
I love Scarface. If were talking about influence, then not many films have influenced modern popular culture as much as Scarface.
You haven't checked out my Clarence Carter-esque location then, have you?
I stroke it to the east, I stroke it to the west....
I watched an hour long documentary once on the influence of DePalma's Scarface on rap culture.
Good film, but vastly overrated. The ending really spoiled the film. As for the characters, prison film stereotypes. . .the lot of them. Still, it was enjoyable, not seen it for more than a decade mind you.
Probably the foundation of the whole hip hop genre.
Apparently it's the most quoted film, ever. I've also heard that even Hispanics try to copy Pacino's version of the Cuban accent.
Bury replied saying he'll make his list. We have 20 atm so even if some opt out (like Plech) or don't want to do 100 (which equates to opting out) we still have plenty.
Plech has a big nose.
yeah, and it ain't be strokin' neither.
Dwayne, have you seen "Das Experiment"?
Another very good German movie I`d recommend is "23 - Nichts ist so wie es scheint"
Yeah that's the one. I quite enjoyed it, very interesting to look at the two in comparison.
I think i'm going to stick plan 9 from outer space somewhere quite high on my list
Das Experiment was enjoyable.
Yep. Thoroughly enjoyable. I like the lead actor...Mani from Run Lola Run.
I haven't watched too many German films, but I liked "The Edukators" and "Goodbye, Lenin".
Goodbye Lenin was awesome.
You'll have to use more flowery language if you want to be taken seriously as a film critic/reviewer.
You need to use words like contemporary instead of modern for example.
Instead of modern or contemporary, what about "post old"?
Its cheeky, its daring, I think it has what it takes to take the media by storm.

Simon, I think you're onto something, here! I'm definatley going to work that into my next lecture on postmodern horror films....ahhhh, the pretension of being a Media and Film lecturer!!!! Expect to see it also in print when I finally get around to writing my horror genre text book after a few years on chin-stroking pontification...I'll make sure you are suitably credited in the 'Acknowledgments'!

dude wheres my car?
Just finished watching Reign Over Me. What an amazing movie.
Post contemporary modern popular youth culture
How's that?
How's that?
No faulting Pacino's performance but that was an era where drugs + pointless violence meant every bloke's fantasy movie
I liked Dog Day Afternoon much much better
Dog Day Afternoon is excellent, but Scarface is better.
Attica!! Attica!! Attica!!
Was also shown during Al Pacino's ceremony for the Lifetime Achievement Award by AFI.
I'll list 100 movies, no problem, but I reckon there will be a lot of 1-vote films and making a top 100 of all could very well become an arse pain for whoever's making the list.
or something

But that was then; Scarface is still enjoyable for a younger generation of viewers who've already seen a shitload of coke and blood on the screen.
Why don't you all just do yourselves a favour and either check IMDb top 250 or for those who consider themselves to be movie buffs, just check the IMDb classic board top 200 (the only list I'd recomend to somebody).
Doing a list in Caf is gonna end with plenty of Batmans, Tim Burtons, teen comedies and sci-fi crap.

I thought I was the only person who saw Edukators.
Mainly socialist agenda but I thought it was good anyway
Crappy, you better watch Come and See before you make your list.
