I highly recommend your entire Top 10 you haven't seen list. I have seen all of them and they are all fantastic, especially The Godfather

Fellowship- Perfect adventure. The greatest music ever put to film, one of the greatest film casts, superb execution and script, brilliant translation from book to novel, mindblowing cinematography, flawless peformances and briskly paced. 6/5

Empire- The greatest Sci-Fi film of all time, by far the best Star Wars film and quite possibly, the all time greatest sequel. Kasdan's screenplay is virtually unmatched and Kershner's execution stands out as far superior to Lucas'. James Earl Jones and Harrison Ford give even better performances here than in the original and features some of the greatest music ever and some of the most innovative action set pieces put to film. 5/5

Blade Runner does have a great last 20 minutes, but it's the entire movie leading up to that point that bothered me. Beautiful message that felt a little too 'War of the Worlds' in that it is a huge fuss over nothing. Maybe I'm way off base, but I'd rather Blade Runner have been a short. Spike Jonze short film 'I'm Here' sends a beautiful message in 30 minutes better than Blade Runner in my humble movie opinion.

To answer the questions you put on my list i think empire strikes back has by far the best character development in theh star wars series(a series that i rank quite highly) and it also has th second best twist in movie history ( secodn to the sixth sense) and it has great moments that i remember too thsi day. 3:10 to yuma i liked it not my fav western thst would be the good the bad and the ugly but its definatly better than what people seem to think about it.

12 Angry Men is perfect and it took Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb to make it happen. Every juror is great and Sidney Lumet was young enough as a director to be bold with his decision to spend the whole film in 1 single room. Just masterful.

Hey, sorry, it takes me forever to get back to anybody, because I'm horrible for checking my profile for comments!

My love for Jurassic Park is an easy one: I was exactly the right age to see it in the theater when it first came out. I could understand that people seeing it for the first time now might find it seeming a little dated, but I think it still holds up!

Fellowship left me on the edge of my seat in the theater, so much so that I couldn't even believe that three hours had gone by when it was over! (By contrast, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey felt overlong to me, so I'm not so blinded by a love of Middle-earth.) I don't know what else to tell you; I think the Academy should have given the Oscar to Jackson for Fellowship instead of just automatically waiting for The Return of the King.

Meanwhile, I've never been able to get into the books; can't get past the first few chapters of Fellowship!

Yeah,Harrison Ford has a voice over in it.It was kinda cool,it added a little bit of a Film-Noir element to it.But I think the biggest change in the Final-Cut is that that they add the unicorn dream sequence,that isn't even in the original,so the ending doesn't make any sense!

Hey, I'm sorry it took me so long to get back. I never think to look at my Flickchart profile for comments! (Something I hope they rectify in the future is some kind of notification system.)

Anyway, Fellowship is the only three-hour movie I can think of where I was literally still on the edge of my seat, begging for more when it ended. I prefer it slightly to Return of the King and Two Towers because I like the dynamic of the whole Fellowship working together. Plus, Sean Bean gets one of the greatest death scenes in cinema history. (Guess I'm hoping you've seen it...)

The Dark Knight? Well, I love Batman, for starters. And though it's been said a million times and a million ways, Heath Ledger's performance really knocks that one out of the park. In fact, though, I think Aaron Eckhart was just as Oscar-worthy as Harvey Dent. I'm a big Nolan fan, and just the fact that TDK is Batman gives it a big edge over the rest of his films.

I couldn't agree with you more about GBU being a masterpiece.

Favorite scene from GBU?You know,the scene with Tuco running through the graveyard,Blondie's introduction with him turning Tuco in,the standoff at the end,all are beyond amazing.But I gotta say,my favorite scene is when Tuco talks with his brother at the mission.His character just gets so much more depth from that little scene.Tuco's pretty much the main character,right?

Favorite scene from OUATITW is easily the flashback at the end.The way it's filmed and the way the music just kicks in when he puts the harmonica in his mouth make it one of my all-time favorite scenes.I like Franks intro too,that was awesome.

What do you think of my picks?What are your favorite scenes?

I really like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It is an excellent emotional experience, perhaps one of the most powerful in movie history, depending on how little you know going into it (obviously if you know the ending it won't have the same punch but don't worry I don't spoil movies on people like that :)) Nicholson is excellent, and all the supporting players do their jobs well.

The Matrix was a solid film. Solid premise, great action, decent performances, pretty good writing and nice direction. I was kinda underwhelmed by it though. I was expecting more from the movie that has had the title of "Super complicated sci-fi movie" for the past 10 years. It wasn't really all that hard to understand.
I see it's your No.1! Care to share some of your thoughts on the movie?

I watched the Final Cut of Blade Runner. I've heard pretty unanimously that it's the best version.

I would recommend Breaking Bad to you. Do you watch AMC? I believe that they are running a marathon of every episode in about a month or so, so if you did have time you could watch the entire series :)

I thought Apocalypse Now was a great film! All the money is up onscreen, and every scene is amazing to look at. It puts you right into the world of Vietnam and is a very intelligent exploration of madness in general. It also has a 16-year old Laurence Fishburne, so that's cool.
I wouldn't say that it's as good as Coppolla's Godfather films, but it is still an excellent piece of cinema, and one that I would thoroughly recommend.

My favorite director would easily be Stanley Kubrick. There are four of his movies in my top 20 (Dr. Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket) and each film of his is excellent on different levels. He changed the way I think about films forever, he's just that good. Have you seen any of his works? If not, do you intend to?

And how about you? Who's your favorite director?

TheHonestFilmFan on 7/22/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

I'm really glad you liked 2001! I hope you enjoy Dr. Strangelove, it's my favorite Kubrick!

2001, to me, is an experience that changes how you look at movies. It takes everything movies were known as at the time and turns it on it's head. It explores human evolution in a way that makes you connect to all the characters in a very unpatronising way. And I think that word sums up the whole film: Unpatronising. It makes you figure it out for yourself, moving film closer to a true art by doing so (you can interpret 2001 like you would a painting more than, say, earlier films like It's a Wonderful Life)
But it's also a very emotional film. People claim Kubrick's films are cold and emotionless, but I strongly disagree with this. Not only are the images and the music extremely captivating, but the whole HAL9000 story is gripping. I'm gonna admit something here: I nearly cried when HAL died. And people call it emotionless? Nope. It isn't. Those people are wrong.

What are your thoughts on 2001?

I thought Zodiac was fantastic. Really investing movie with great performances all around. I liked that the film wasn't the typical "chasing after the bad guy" film but rather examining the obsession the characters had in trying to find the Zodiac killer. I also like movies that take place over a long time and seeing characters evolve with their surroundings. Zodiac just might be my favorite Fincher film now.

I find Paths of Glory to be one of the most solid movies of all time. Everything fits into place so effortlessly that I cannot think of anything to fault it for. Great cinematography, performances and direction, like you said, but also a surprising amount of soul. Many of the scenes are heartbreaking leading up to the executions, and the final scene just blows me away. One of the most emotional scenes in any film, let alone a Kubrick film.
Fun Fact: Kubrick went on to marry the German singer from the film's final scene, whose uncle, ironically enough, made propaganda films for the Nazis. Kubrick wanted to make a movie about him for years, but it never came to fruition.

Dr. Strangelove has the best cinematography out of any movie I've ever seen. And the performances are some of the funniest ever captured on film. Peter Sellers and George C. Scott are both absolutely hilarious. I love it.

Terminator 2 was alright. Not too amazing or anything, but a solid action movie. I felt a bit distant from the characters at parts, and I kept getting distracted by how much the kid looked like Joide Foster haha! :)
But again, not bad. Action scenes were solid. The way they utilised the liquid metal Terminator was very creative, and the music was so good I only wished there was more of it. The ending was also really well-done.

I see T2 is in your Top 20. What are your thoughts on it?

Spartacus isn't much of a Kubrick film. He had little hand in the pre-production or research beforehand, and it was mostly Kirk Douglas' movie. The lack of creative freedom he had is what encouraged him to make films only if he had final cut.
You might like it as long as you don't go into it expecting Dr. Strangelove or Paths of Glory.

I've seen all of Kubrick's films. Here's how I'd rank them:
1. Dr. Strangelove
2. 2001
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. Paths of Glory
6. The Shining
7. Eyes Wide Shut
8. Barry Lyndon
9. The Killing
10. Lolita
11. Spartacus
12. Killer's Kiss
13. Fear and Desire

That's funny that we have some of the same movies we want to see soon. We'll have share our thoughts after we've seen them.

Have you ever heard of the Youtube reviewer TheFlickPick/JohnFlickster? He's always talking about Point Break and I thought it looks pretty good so I figured I should give it a watch.

As for getting into film I'm not sure I could pinpoint one specific movie that got me into it. I've always enjoyed movies but I was a pretty causal moviegoer until my first year of college. It just kind of grew into a hobby of seeing a bunch of movies both new and old and building a movie collection. If I had to name one I'd say maybe Inception because it showed me that movies could be complex and original rather than just mindless entertainment. That they could be entertaining while also demanding the audiences full attention.

Any film in particular for you and how long have you been seriously into film?

Damn, that's a tough question. I love so many and it kinda changes depending on mood. Scorsese is usually the one that tops it though. He's still doing exciting stuff today, Wolf of Wall Street was full of energy and Scorsese's signature style was all over it. So many other directors I love, recently Linklater has really jumped up because of Boyhood. Who is your favorite director/directors?

So I just watched rear Window and honestly, I don't understand why it's so highly ranked, maybe you could tell me why you consider it to be so good (it's your #70). I mean, I LIKED the movie quite a bit but don't get why it's considered THAT good

Area_hulk on 7/31/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

That what's makes it fun. It would be boring if we all liked and disliked the same movies.

Here is my review I wrote of Rear Window:
"I think I would give this movie a 7/10. Although the movie was interresting and suspensful there was not ENOUGH suspense or surprise that it should be considered a masterpiece thriller. Ending was kind of a letdown, but the whole setting and cinematography - yeah the direction itself - was pretty amazing - as well as Stewart's performance - the movie still couldn't be fenomenal in my eyes because of this plot i.e the disappointing ending. The messages and themes in the film are great. Also despite me knowing the point of Jeff and Lisas relationship it wasn't that wonderful. Their interaction with each other in the beginning was kind of annoying"
It's still pretty good - 76. spot out of 336 movies is not bad - but not THAT good

Just saw Man of Steel and Strangelove for the first time. Strangelove is defi going high on my list. Man of Steel was very bad in my opinion. 3,5/10 I would say. But yes I have some exciting movies to watch. Of older movies Wall-e, Ratatouille, Pulp fiction and Lawrence of Arabia (pretty long film, need to find time). Of new ones in the cinema defi Guardians and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Have you seen it? Im so excited for that movie. And also Boyhood when it comes out in my theater. What's on your watchlist?

Spielberg is fantastic; great choice. Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T. and plenty more Spielberg films are among my favorite. I think he's at his best when he's doing blockbusters. As much as I love Scorsese's recent work, I do think his older stuff is his best.

Yep, I absolutely loved Boyhood. I've been waiting ages for it, but it still managed to exceed my expectations. It's difficult to put into words what I loved so much about it. I guess it's that it touches upon a lot of relatable aspects of growing up in a completely authentic and sincere way that I couldn't help but love it. It also helps that it has an incredible soundtrack, that's actually used very uniquely.It has one or two scenes that maybe could have been cut but I'd wholeheartedly recommend it!

I love O Brother Where Art Thou! I think it has a great atmosphere to it. The tone is something classically bizarre that very few films capture, as well as being a great retelling of the Odyssey. It also has an excellent sense of humour I really have a soft spot for.

I'm a bit confused by your use of the term "Weird" as a criticism. I find weirdness a good way to make a film stand out and have it's own style. Care to elaborate a little on that?

Psycho would be my second favorite Hitchcock after NXNW, and that's pretty good if you ask me! I'm not a big as Hitchcock fan as most people, but he really changed the game with Psycho. Horror does work on different levels that other genres, as it's goal is to disorientate, not to entertain. So this movie takes so many left turns you never know what's coming next. I love Perkins, he's really good. I wasn't all that scared by it, but I was definitely disturbed, and I think that's good enough. Were you scared?

Lego Movie is pretty much perfect. No other movie is as simple on the surface yet so complex between the lines. Mixed metaphors, yo. It really goes to new and exciting places cinematically with tropes the medium has been utilising for decades. What are your thoughts?

How was Lawrence of Arabia?

Basterds was already in the top 10, it was Fight Club that moved back in. :)

I've been lazy with my chart lately so only the top 50 is completely accurate as of now.

Yeah I rewatched The Godfather trilogy. I think I jumped the gun before when putting Leone's films above them.

Well thank you good Sir.
I have been planning to see all those old classic Hitchcock and Kubrick (etc.) films for quite a while now. The problem is that the majority of them aren`t available on Netflix here (Sweden). I could rent them on iTunes but that would be too expensive when keeping in mind the freaking Mount Everest (or Mount Doom if you will) looking pile of movies that is my watchlist. Dr. Strangelove is available on Netflix though, so I might watch that tomorrow.

Just saw Dr. Strangelove last night and I must say that I loved it. It was just brilliant. Really good writing, great comedy and Peter Sellers, oh, don`t even get me started with Peter Sellers. Easily one of the funniest movies i`ve ever seen!

Hey man, I'm conducting somewhat of a survey with what I perceive to be the diehard movie fans on this site.. How long has your #1 movie been your absolute favorite? And do you think it will ever change? How loyal and/or biased are you to that movie? Also, the same questions apply for your top 5 as well as your top 10. Are they pretty much edged in stone on your chart or have your top 5 and/or top 10 changed over the past few years?

Lawrence of Arabia is grand. Ever so grand. A grandness equaled by no other. Quite excellent, I say.

How was On the Waterfront?

saddler16 on 10/10/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Fargo was good.Really good.Great atmosphere, screenplay and characters,I think it will go up higher on my list when I rewatch it.

I did like The Aviator,but not as much as I like Taxi Driver or Raging Bull.It was very well made,and all the performances were great,but I didn't really feel like Howard was as interesting a character as Travis Bickle or Jake LaMotta.Speaking of Jake LaMotta...
I love Raging Bull! I believe its in my Top 30,it's one of the most well-directed films I've ever seen.I hope you enjoy it!

How was On the Waterfront? There's a reference to it in Raging Bull!

Personally the reason why I like ROTK a bit more than Fellowship is because of all the amazing set pieces. The first half of ROTK is amazing build up and all, but it isn't until the second half that the best scenes and moments come for me (The battle of pelennorsfield, "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you" etc,). I just recently rewatched them a couple of weeks ago and by the time I got to ROTK I didn't think it would or could be as good as Fellowship anymore. Fellowship is a movie that holds steady for it's entire runtime at an extremely high level. ROTK's buildup, albeit phenomenal, falls a bit short of Fellowship's, but the second half of ROTK is just simply the absolutely best two hours (extended versions) of a movie I've ever seen....ever! I really didn't think it could surpass Fellowship but it's just such a ride of emotions and thrills that it was impossible for me not to love it even more than Fellowship (altough I usually like to view the whole trilogy as one giant 12-hour long movie).

So which one do you prefer; Fellowship or ROTK? Or perhaps The Two Towers?

saddler16 on 10/15/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Have not seen On the Waterfront yet but it's one I've wanted to see for a while now.

Glad you loved Raging Bull! I would HIGHLY recommend watching Taxi Driver next.If Raging Bull is about the rage inside all of us,Taxi Driver is about the lonliness we all feel at some points.

After I get done watching Goodfellas and The Shining,I'll probably try to see the Alien movies next,or maybe something from The Coen's.If I remrmber I'll try to pick up One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest too.How about you?

And I can totally see why Fellowship would be your favorite of the three. In my eyes they're (all three) about equally perfect but The Return of the King wins by the smallest of margins for me.

Yeah, The Lord of the Rings-trilogy is definitely my favorite movie trilogy of all time. I think the only two trilogies that could compete with it would be the original Star Wars trilogy and TDK-trilogy.

I'm thinking about seeing 2001 this weekend aswell as perhaps Trainspotting and/or Source Code.

What about you. What're you gonna see next?

Nolan's TDK trilogy is my favorite, Jackson's LotR a close second. Actually, had it not been for TDKR it wouldn't have been that close.

Favorite from the series is The Dark Knight.

For me, nothing tops the original Star Wars trilogy. I know those three movies practically by heart - with Episode IV being my all-time favorite.

For me, it's gotta be the LOTR trilogy. I love all three almost equally, but Fellowship has always been my favorite. It has the most heart, and it's the most re-watchable installment IMO. All three films are just phenomenal though.

Well, it'll have to be the Dark Knight trilogy, seeing the last two are my favourite movies. The Dark Knight is my favourite. After that, it would be the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Wade92 on 10/19/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

My answer is pretty similar to shane24's. I enjoy a few different trilogies but The Dark Knight Trilogy is definitely my favorite. It's one of the few trilogies where there isn't an installment that's significantly weaker that the others in my opinion. All three are in my Top 10. I always go back and forth on which one I like the most. I feel like The Dark Knight Rises is the most satisfying but The Dark Knight is the stronger film as a whole.

A couple other favorites would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Man with No Name trilogy.

What are some of your favorites?

I assume you mean trilogy as a whole. Godfather is my favorite movie of all time and GF2 is also in my top 15. These two movies work so wonderfully together. However, admittely I have never seen part 3, since I've heard it never matched the greatness of the first time. It may sound but yeah. I will watch it though. But yeah as a trilogy as a whole LOTR, Toy story and Star wars are surely the best. Of those three probably Star wars. And New Hope is the best. Such as wonderful adventure and narrative.

That's a hard one. It'd be between the Back to the Future trilogy, The Man with No Name, Evil Dead, and the Vengeance movies. But if pressed, I think I'd go with Leone's trilogy. Fantastic stuff, the whole way through. And my favorite of the bunch is The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, with For a Few Dollars more in a close second.

Nice, those are all great trilogies. I've only seen Godfather Part III once but I didn't really care for it. I love the first two Godfathers so I'll have to give it another shot sometime.

For new movies I'm really excited to see Fury and Nightcrawler. I think both look really good from what I've seen so far. I've also been wanting to see 2001 A Space Odyssey. I have it on Blu ray but I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, I thought Fury was great. The acting, action, score and the chemistry between the actors were all superb. "Best job I've ever had"

2001 was, just like you said, an experience. You cannot explain it to someone who hasn't seen it. It's easily one of the most thought-provoking films I've ever seen. It is truly a masterpiece; visual poetry at it's best. Though, it does require alot of patience and understanding of movies. It may not have been an entertaining movie, but certainly a well made one.

Zodiac was just amazing. I had really high expectations, yet the movie squashed them with ease. As with every Fincher film, the cinematography was flawless.

So what are you gonna see next?

Thank you for your reply to my earlier question(s) about your favorite film and your top ten. I asked this question to various people because I've battled with replacing my #1 film for over a year now. I saw Casablanca for the first time in 1999 I think. It left a profound impression on me. It soon became my favorite film as I would routinely revisit it. So, for roughly 15 years, Casablanca has been my favorite film. I've had some really good times with it as well. I first saw it when I was in the military. I just relate to so much of the film. Oddly enough, I relate to both Victor Laszlo AND Rick Blaine!! Victor for the military lifestyle that requires you to be away from the love of your life, and Rick for the duality of choosing between someone you love and doing the right thing. So many themes strike all the right chords with me.

Fast-forward the time to 2013. I saw Vertigo for the first time ever. It blew me away more than any film I had ever seen. Everything about it was brilliant. And the more I watched it, I began to develop an obsession for it. I've never watched a film so many times in such a short span. I watched Vertigo more than ten times in a month. It just drew me in. I wanted to put it as my #1 film, but I didn't want to make a decision based on a knee-jerk reaction. So, I gave it time to see if my affinity for it would lessen. I even forced myself to stop watching it so much. Well, a few weeks ago, I showed it to some friends and family. I discovered that my affection for this film hadn't changed a bit. So now comes the hard part. I almost feel like I'm cheating on Casablanca if I put Vertigo #1. To answer my own question, I'm very loyal to my favorite film of all time. But I think the time has come for me to be true to my chart and put Vertigo at #1.

I've seen Casablanca recently and I still love it as much as I did when I first watched it. But I think I enjoy Vertigo from start to finish a little more than I love Casablanca from start to finish.

I know I'm probably taking this way too serious, but watching movies is one of my favorite pass times. What do you think? Have you ever had this dilemma?

Well, I'm going to see Gone Girl this friday (finally!!!). Also, since Halloween is coming up I'll probably watch some horror movies (The Exorcist, The Thing, Halloween (duh!), A Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw are the movies that I'm aiming to see. If I have time I might also squeeze in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy aswell.). I'm also looking to see The Game to prepare for Gone Girl, and Insomnia to prepare for Interstellar. And I'm also setting my sights on; Vertigo, Rear Window, North By Northwest, Top Gun and The Princess Bride. Obviously I'm not gonna get around to all of them this week but those are the films that I'm probably gonna see next

Interstellar is absolutely incredible. One of the best films ever made IMO. Don't understand how some people didn't like it. I think they don't get it and if they say they do they're lying. Probably the most thought provoking film I've ever seen and one of the most emotional films I've ever seen aswell, that's for sure. The score too is perfect.

This is my Top 10 movies so far this year.

1. Interstellar
2. Gone Girl
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past
4. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
6. Guardians of the Galaxy
7. Fury
8. Edge of Tomorrow
9. The Lego Movie
10. The Grand Budapest Hotel

I haven't seen Nightcrawler, Boyhood, Whiplash, Birdman, The Raid 2 or Snowpiercer yet.

Other films that have a possibility of ending up on this list (the final one that is) in addition those those films above are; The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, American Sniper, The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, John Wick and also perhaps Exodus: Gods and Kings

As I see it, only The Hobbit has a chance of beating Interstellar this year and even so, it's chances are slim. Maybe Birdman has chance; like 1%.....
