Forums - Movies & TV - Your Top 50 Movies: 2013 Discussion Thread- Final Day!

Posted my #39th pick which is The Wild Bunch. My next movie was already mentioned earlier in this thread. It feature a score composed by Ennio Morricone which I really like and for some reason got nominated for a Razzie???.

I should have guessed Tron Legacy, that's one of my favorites as well. The sound and music are awesome.
My next movie is also known for its great sound design, it plays almost entirely out on open water.


Could it be Life of Pi.  I know it takes place almost entirely on water and it should have a great score since its nominated for Best Original Score at this years Oscars.

I haven't seen that yet. From what I read about it, it has a chance to get into my top 50.
My next movie is more realistic and it is not so much the score but the entire sound field that defines the movie. It won an oscar for best sound editting.

Chris Hu, that must be the 80's remake of that 50's classic. I've always preferred the original but that's probably because I saw that one at a time when I still found horror films scary.

Alfred Molina as Dr Octavius?

Uhm, Master and Commander?

Correct.

My 39th is a movie where Alfred Molina plays the villain. Any guesses?


Spiderman 2.



38. Master and commander: The far side of the world, 2003, Peter Weir


This movie rightfully won an Oscar for best sound editting. It is the most immersive movie I know when it comes to surround sound. All the noises of the ship, people walking on the deck above you, the wind hitting the sails, it all feels real. As far as life on a frigate goes, everything looks authentic too. The story never disappoints either with some clever tricks and twists.

My #39 is The Third Man. Many mistakenly think Orson Welles directed this work of art, but it was Carol Reed (Oliver!). The Third Man is one of the greatest film noir movies you'll ever see, with rich performances from Joseph Cotten and Welles, a memorable score -- composed entirely on zither! -- and arguably the best black and white cinematography ever.



My #38 is Some Like it Hot, one of three Billy Wilder movies on my list. Some Like it Hot is one of the zaniest and funniest American comedies ever made, but it's also romantic and even sexy, thanks to Marilyn Monroe. It's filled with dozens of belly laughs, double entendres, and one-liners, all of which are delivered with impeccable timing by co-stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Some Like it Hot has one of the best movie endings ever, also, but I won't spoil it here.



37. Coraline, 2009, Henry Selick


I love stop motion and Coraline is currently my favorite. Beautifully made with a great story, Henry Selick's best yet.



Posted my 38th movie which is The Thing my next pick is a epic movie from the 90s.
