Best Movies
|
Submitting my list of best movies for John Hawkins' "Bloggers Select The 15 Greatest Movies Of All-Time" poll was easy. For almost ten years I've been rating movies on IMDB, and by golly they have kept my picks all that time. Anyway, here were my submissions, in alpha order. Oh, one final note. I see that Citizen Kane made John's list, and while I won't argue that Kane represented avant garde film making in 1941, so too did Birth of a Nation in 1915. I've seen both, and have no desire to see either again. Does that make me a bad person?

For its context, and context is always everything, the Original Star Wars is the best film ever, and forever.

My favorite movies are here, if anyone's interested.
Posted by: Kim du Toit on July 31, 2003 03:06 PMBowling for Columbine fails as a documentary because most of it is a fabrication based on Michael A. Bellesiles' book, Arming America: The Origins Of A National Gun Culture. Besides, who the hell are you talking about with "suck-ass bunch?"

Your movie list should provide fodder for at least three of four psychiatric conferences in the future...
Posted by: Kim du Toit on July 31, 2003 03:13 PMImpossible! No Dr. Strangelove? No Life of Brian? No Young Frankenstein? No Blazing Saddles? No Psycho? No Shirley Valentine? No Breakfast At Tiffany's? No Hepburn, Audrey or Katherine? Have you no soul?

Posted by: Rodger Schultz on July 31, 2003 05:15 PMGood answer, but this is the list of someone positively over fifty. You have all missed out. At least you had consistently great fishing.
Posted by: Kerry Corlett on July 31, 2003 05:40 PMAny list of best films ought to include The Man Who Would Be King.
Posted by: Skoonj on July 31, 2003 07:30 PMAny/all of these polls are rather uninteresting if the opinions of readers are not also invited. "Bloggers select...?" I suppose no one else's opinions are worthwhile? You guys truly have a narcissistic bent.
