| The Ghost of RubangB said: There are so many films on my list I need to see, and yet.... film school (and VGChartz of course) is consuming my life and soul. I don't get it. I spend so much time reading and writing about films I don't have time to watch any outside of class. I need to try to watch at least 1 a week that isn't an assignment or something. This one kid in my class has watched over 900 of the 1000 greatest films of all time (according to this web site: http://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_rankingorder.htm ). I've seen 11 of the top 20, or 24 of the top 50, or 33 of the top 100. I've never seen this web site before. This place is amazing. They update their list every December. You can view the list by ranking, by title, by director, by year, or by country. 6 of David Lynch's 10 films are on it. And Godard has 14 films on this list. Holy shit. Fuck yeah, Bunuel has 15. |
Damn, that kid is a movie fanatic. I'm jealous.
This site is really damn cool. Wow, they hated Shawshank. Its down around #500. Glad to see they love 8 1/2!
Edit: Ahhhh, WTF, The Usual Suspects isn't even on the list...failure...
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
