Vote on Michael B's Top 50 movies of all timesszzz

Really? No Big Trouble in Little China? Fine. Big Lebowski. Close enough.

i think the answer is either strozek or psycho

Blue Velvet

tgtbtu obv

that's a close 20th for me

have you ever seen "el topo", darragh? its like sergio leone if he was obsessed with freud and went on a bad acid trip.

I thought we would be voting on whether we wholly approved of your top 50 list or wholly disapproved of it, or some shade of approval in between those two extremes.

surprised "the broken tower" isn't up there

probly Psycho

Sweet Smell of Success. (You should post your list on Letterboxd.)

'the red shoes.'

very tempted to do my list as a poll but i feel like two-thirds of the films i call my favorites i haven't actually watched in at least five years.

s'ok, you can discuss whether you think its a good or bad list

this is useful, we can cull everyone who doesnt vote for robocop

I never get bored of A Matter of Life and Death, not saying it is the best but definitely the one I re-watch most often.

^^ incredible film. it was on film 4 last summer and i told my gf to sit down and watch it with me and she was stunned that she had never heard of it before.

The best ones:

Rear Window
ET
Man With A Movie Camera
The Red Shoes
Annie Hall
Do The Right Thing
The Wicker Man

Quite a few of my own faves here. Vaguely ordered:

Annie Hall
Wings of Desire
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Pulp Fiction
Blade Runner
Citizen Kane
Psycho
Grizzly Man
El Topo
There Will Be Blood
The Big Lebowski
Wild Strawberries
Planes Train and Automobiles
Goodfellas

Stroszek

And, for what its worth, here is what I *haven't* seen from the list (a few of these are really embarrassing to admit to):

This Sporting Life
Mad Max
Performance

The Red Shoes
A Matter of Life and Death
Raise The Red Lantern
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Network
The Conformist

They Live easily. The subtle genius of Roddy Piper and George 'Buck' flower has never been surpassed.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I think I've definitely seen "Sweet Smell of Success" the most time out of any other movies in my list. great fun.
