Cult movies: the list
>>
>>70382511
I hate lists like this and I see so many of them
It's just a list of well loved movies and well reviewed movies, there's no personality to it (which makes sense because it's a corporation)
But it's still pretty disgusting

>lack of non-Anglo films
>popular schlock like Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc.
>no even slightly out there movies

Also personally I hate that Blue Velvet is there and Mullholland Drive isn't
>>
>>70382511
Only Chinatown, Sunset Blvd and The Godfather are deserving of places in the top 10.

Nice to see some variation in one of these lists for a change though.
>>
>>70382511
this is fucking bad
>>
>>70382755
Jaws is one of the greatest thrillers ever made. There's not always a lot of thematic weight or nuance or characterisation in Spielberg's work, but he understands spectacle better than anyone else. No one has made b-movies as well as he has.
>>
>>70382768
Vertigo is not deserving it's 6th place?
>>
>>70382511
3 of my top 10 in their top 10 but it's a fucking garbage list.

Like Myspace teenage aspiring director list tier. Absolutely terrible.
>>
>18. Don't Look Now

kek, this shouldn't even be in the top 100 horror movies.
>>
I was getting madder and madder as I scrolled and didn't see Bladerunner.

Also missing Stalker.
>>
>>70382912
What's your list?
>>
The Shining is a bad genre film. Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Jaws, The Exorcist, Psycho, Halloween... Are all far better Horror/Thrillers.

Great Cinematography does not equal great film.

>>70382511
Most glaring choices from the top 30 for me

>There will be blood
It's a superb film but second best of all time? Not a fucking chance
>The Shining
Number 5? No.
>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This film is a great examination of love and loss but it's flawed and painfully overrated: not close to top 10.
>Jungle Book
Not even the best animated Disney classic
>Metropolis
This film is a piece of shit. it serves as a curiosity piece. It hasn't aged well at all. If they're desperate to stick a silent but influential classic on there Sunrise, Potemkin or Cabinet would have been far more acceptable choices so early.
>The Towering Inferno
At 21? WHAT THE FUCK?
>Breakfast Club
This movie is shit. It wasn't bad as a teenager but it's terrible to watch as adult. It's so fucking shallow.
>Rebel without a Cause
Am I the only one who doesn't find this film remarkable in any way? Including Dean's performance. It's strong but it's been so romanticised that people build it into something it simply isn't.
>>
>>70382511
Some of them only get a spot because they are "classics"

I genuinely think that people switch off their brains and accept that anything labelled a "classic" is instantly good.

I actually argued with a group of friends about a film (I can't remember which now) many consider a classic but it just isn't that great. Their only argument was "dude it's a classic!"
They couldn't give any other reason for why it was good.
>>
/tv/ always scoffs and says these lists are shit but offers nothing in return because all /tv/ really does is watch capeshit and shitpost about girl actresses. All talk, no substance. /tv/ is nothing but a meme board.
>>
>>70383237
There are plenty of decent posts rebutting this list in here already.

This is honestly one of the worst top 100 lists I have seen. I know they're all about controversial choices to get discussion and clicks but this is just awful.

I love Keanu and this is a good action film, but one of the best films of all time? Lol

Holy fuck The Times are retarded.

>>70382969
In no particular order:

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

>expecting /tv/ to agree with any top 10 list from any magazine/AFI/website
>>
>>70384137
The script is superb. There are so many brilliant and iconic moments there that the only thing that has diminished their impact is how frequently they've been copied, homaged, referenced or parodied.
It's a bonafide masterpiece. Unquestionably one of the best of all time.

The best? I dunno. It does everything exceptionally well but it doesn't innovate in any way. That might not be a bad thing and it's not really a controversial choice for me, I would just not have it number one personally.

Casablanca stands time really well, I don't see much problem with Sound of Music and Gone with the Wind either though wouldn't list either in a list like that.

Towering Inferno was a meme flick when it came out and Breakfast Club was also always shit.

These lists are weird because they're always filled with real obscure but middling films. Makes me wonder what the thought process that goes into the humor is, or if it's just random.
>>
>>70384585
Do it.

Watching movies in high school isn't a way to appreciate them

For one, it feels like a chore because you're being forced to watch it.
Two, high schoolers have no life experience and very rarely any wisdom. Their tastes and opinions are useless.
Three, you might have watched it in class, with a whole group of begrudging teenage scum. No way to watch and appreciate a film.
Four, you're a completely different person now. How different do you feel after a few years pass? With over a decade passing you're a radically different person.

Watch it tonight, faggot.

The Mirror is better but I wouldn't fault a person for putting Stalker in their top 10 as well.

Mine goes something like,

2001
Zerkalo/The Mirror
Aguirre
Lawrence
Stalker

BTW Hitchcock films are masterfully made but lack philosophical substance completely.

I know, it's just a very odd array of choices for a meme list.

Hitchcock is a prime example of horribly outdated director in everything he did. Half of his shit is almost unwatchable now.

Obviously they're taking popularity into account in a big way, so I see what they're doing. It's not necessarily highest quality according to the writers. Still, I think there are absolutely some movies that could have bumped point break and deliverance, etc, off the list.

if you think that vertigo and rear window lack philosophical substance you might as well stop taking films seriously and watch the latest marvel flick

BTW A. Rublev is Tarkovsky's best and he should have stopped making movies there as far as I am concerned
BTW 2 Hitchcock was much much better than Tarkovsky

Hitchcock's films aren't as soulful as Tarkovsky's. They're very well made, but Tarkovsky dwells on the human condition in such a way that few directors ever have.

Citizen Kane isn't one of the best 100 movies in the world though. It's actually not even close.

If you honestly can't appreciate the quality of Citizen Kane and especially what it offered to the medium you should stick to shitposting.
>>
>>70386334
That doesn't make it one of the best films ever and people who say it's their favorite tend to be pretentious twats who don't know their shit.

Nice try. The only people who hold Carpenter up as a great are clueless millennials suffering from second hand nostalgia.
>>
>>70386385
It's impact on cinema guarantees it a spot.

Throw in that it's a great film, with a superb script and countless moments that stay with you and it definitely deserves a high spot,

>>70386402
Maybe listen to what your tutor said. Did he chew you out day one for saying how you found Citizen Kane boring? Just get over it and actually watch the film on your own accord.
>>
>>70386481
>It's impact on cinema guarantees it a spot.
That's not how it works. Impact and quality aren't the same thing, a fucking child could understand that.

It's a great film though.
>>
Wow, I've not seen one of these on /tv/ in at least three years. That being said the list is shit.
>Casablanca is so overrated for the unremarkable film it is
>ET and Chinatown, really?
>I really like Eternal Sunshine, one of my favorite films, but I don't know if I'd really say it was amazing in a lot of ways.

These aren't even the 100 most popular films, I don't know why this list was compiled. It's as though they just shoehorned in a bunch of "classics"

>Blue Velvet, no, just no,
I like Lynch and his general themes, but Blue Velqvet only seems good to someone who has not actually seen it. The dialogue and acting are legitimately some of the worst I've ever seen, and makes the weird plot just seem retarded. That tells me some pretentious shit made this list

Anybody born after the mid 80s is perpetually underage do to the millennial chains of cultural infantilization. If you grew up in an era when video games and comic books were viewed as acceptable activities then you will ALWAYS be underage in sensibility.

A bit random and weird. Some completely out of place. TWBB is not a top 10 film. I'd entertain top 100 but still strongly disagree. That said it's better than any list the retards on /tv/ would put together.

I was born in the 70s. For anybody born more than a few years after me it is literally impossible for them to not be degenerate children for the rest of their lives.

I don't need to. It's patently obvious it's there for impact on cinema.

Kane has that as well as being a great film whereas Metropolis is a poorly paced piece of shit.
