I think Paolo Sorrentino agrees with you about Once Upon a Time. Interesting that the LoTR movies are showing up in your lists. I suspect that it might end up being like Star Wars, quite influential on 20-30 somethings for the rest of their lives, and so it will begin showing up in greatest-of lists as people in this age-range have more votes.

Not only does it expand on the universe and introduce more philosophical ideas but it’s gotta be the most gorgeous movie ever made visually. Not sure why it isn’t as revered as it deserves to be. Maybe cos it’s still so new and only time will tell if people remember it in 20 years but something tells me it’ll go down in history as one of the best sequels ever.

The Last Hurrah 9. The Sting 10. Ace in the Hole I like movies to be entertaining and inspiring. I like to leave the viewing with some profound questions or a levity of senses.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Though it doesn't quite crack my top ten, 12 Angry Men is indeed first-rate cinema.

[@richardmcleod1930]

The two most controversial and yet the two most influential movies in the History of film is (whether you may or may not want to hear it depending on whether you are WOKE or not) The Birth of A Nation and Citizen Kane. Few people have ever seen or even know about D. W. Griffith's Intolerance or Orphans of the Storm and these films are monumental in the History of the Motion Picture. As time goes by we forget about the Silent and early talkie period which is the beginning of the entire Motion Picture Industry. D. W. Griffith and Orson Welles are the two most influential men in the History of Motion Pictures. The title of Lillian Gish's autobiography is "The Movies, Mr. Griffith and me" That just about sums it up.

[@Tyler_W]

Solid list. There is a couple on that list I have yet to see and will definitely have to check out sooner rather than later. I don't think you either fully can or even should try to seperate your favorites from "the best," as if there even is some scientifically objective way to measure such a thing in a manner completely detatched from ypur experience of a thing. Obviously you can love movies that you acknowledge aren't particularly great, but you can also recognize that something is great and not personally love it. In that case, why put it on your list in the first place? At that point, you'd just be regurgitating something closer to consensus rather than providing your own unique perspective that balances both your recognition of quality and your equally valid experience with something. Is The Godfather a better movie than Return of the King? Probably, and purely on a technical level, I would probably completely agree (for the record, I love them both), but I can't and won't deny that ROTK spoke to something in my soul on a deeper level than The Godfather did or probably ever will. I think that's something that ought to be taken heavily into account and shouldn't be ignorwd. While I think there's value in acknowledging that which is widely recognized for its greatness, putting that at the forefront of one's judgment with no regard for how it did or didn't personally resonate with you defeats the purpose of making your own list, I think. It says nothing about the films themselves other than what everyone else says, and it reveals nothing about the person making the list. At the same time, I might rather watch Zombieland over Taxi Driver more often than not at any given time, but I'm not going to pretend as though Taxi Driver isn't both an excellent film and in a completely different league above Zombieland. My point is that there's an intangible but clear balance between objective quality and subjective experience, and you can't really quantify that sort of thing. They are both equally important and our experience with the art form is uniquely valuable.

I always hated making a Top 10 _Greatest_ list since that is a truly amorphous undertaking. I mean, after all, what exactly is meant by great? Great in what way? Great to audiences? Great aesthetically? Great because it is generally considered a Classic? Just too many ways to approach and try and justify such a list. In the end, your top 10 personal favorites is always a much easer list to make and that is what I am listing below. 01. Ben-Hur (1959) 02. Apocalypse Now (1979) 03. A Clockwork Orange (1971) 04.

Quite an amazing list of films! I will have to watch Children of Paradise soon. Here's my top 10 (in no particular order): 1. Chinatown (1974) 2. 8 1/2 (1963) 3. Taxi Driver (1976) 4. His Girl Friday (1940) 5. Cache (2005) 6. Night and Fog (1955) 7. Apocalypse Now (1979) 8. Chungking Express (1994) 9. La grande Illusion (1937) 10. Brief Encounter (1945)/Ugetsu (1953) I had to pick 11 since I can't leave out any among these. I have picked only one film released after 2000, but there were quite a few which I really liked but couldn't put them in top 10: In the mood for love, The Royal Tenenbaums, Memories of Murder and The Social Network.

Wish I could include 10 more including All About Eve; Au Hasard Balthazar; Rashomon; Children of Paradise; Gone with the Wind; Lawrence of Arabia; The Crowd; Breaking the Waves; The Grapes of Wrath; City of God.

thank you very much. Great list!

[@tom_abbott]

in no order, but these first five are the ones I picked based on the fact they speak to me the most: Apocalypse now stalker Beau Travail Come and see Viridiana The next 4 are favourites but would include them because I don't think they're appreciated enough, so kinda underrated picks but not really? Diabolique Sleuth The 1934 Raymond Bernard 4-hour version of Les miserables Ballad of Narayama (or maybe swap for I am Cuba) then I'd probably throw in Once upon a time in the West as a final pick. just some honourable mentions I'd consider maybe changing around with the ten: Cinema paradiso 12 angry men seven samurai pierrot le fou fanny and Alexander

[@alexroodman4318]

The amount of overlap this had with mine stunned me. What would you most highly recommend to someone whose favorite movies include Apocalypse Now, Stalker, Come and See, 12 Angry Men and Seven Samurai? Completely hypothetical.

[@tom_abbott]

@Alex Roodman Maybe if you like films related to war, try something called the Burmese harp. if you like Stalker and come & see, try Ken Russels the Devils discusses similar themes to Stalker and has the shock factor of come and see. Z (Costa gavras) is a good movie you may not have seen. People who like come and see like the ascent, its good but not close to come and see. for 12 angry men? witness for the prosecution is a good court room drama also, but quite different movies

[@LearningaboutMovies]

good ones. Diabolique is a fantastic film.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

Why Sunrise dropped at all in the latest Sight and Sound poll is a bloody shame. You CAN NOT make a more visually or emotionally compelling film. But with all the young and younger critics voting on the list I might have expected it. Just for the record my favorite films (I don't like to say "best") are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, The Rules of the Game, I Walked With a Zombie, The Flowers of St. Francis, The Searchers, Kiss Me Deadly, Touch of Evil, Vertigo, Demy's Lola, Shoot the Piano Player, Contempt and Goodfellas I love noir above all so 3 have made my list.

[@calvinnigh5489]

I tried to come up with ten movies that haven’t appeared on any of the lists I’ve seen here, which is only difficult because the best movies ever have been accounted for. Also Dr. Matthews, that I am a huge fan of Brad Bird, and your appreciation for Ratatouille and his general work in direction made me very excited. This is my list: 1. The Iron Giant (1999) 2. Ran (1985) 3. Notorious (1946) 4. Arrival (2016) 5. Some Like It Hot (1959) 6. Almost Famous (2000) 7. When Harry Met Sally… (1989) 8. Singin’ In The Rain (1952) 9. City Lights (1931) 10. Three Colors: Red (1994)

[@fredericomartins7409]

A Love Song For Bobby Long, The Lord of the Rings, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Once Upon a Time in the West, Tree of Life, Apocalypse Now, Le Notti Bianchi, Chinatown, The Third Man, Blade Runner. It is a difficult to make this list. I've left films from my favourite directors such as Tarkovsky, Bergman and Hitchcock out!

[@tennysontableau]

It's also nice to see the comments section, adding to some great viewing suggestions. Here are some of my favorite films in no particular order, many which pervade a strong sensuality and artistic cinematography. - Logan's Run - 300 - Jumanji: The Next Level - The Fifth Element - Aliens - Cloud Atlas - Pride and Prejudice (2005) - Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Blade Runner 2049 - The Tempest (2010)

[@mattbosley3531]

Star Wars and Rear Window were definitely two that immediately came to mind for me. I was in high school when Star Wars came out and it had a huge impact on me. To this day it remains the only film I've gone to the theater multiple times to see. I saw Star Wars at the movie theater 4 times. Of course that was before home video existed.

[@JoeBesserfan]

In no particular order: Kung Fu Hustle, Straw Dogs, The Searchers, The Wild Bunch, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, Rocky, The Magnificent Seven, Sorcerer and The Poseidon Adventure.

In the end, I picked: Modern Times Bride of Frankenstein Citizen Kane Singin' in the Rain Psycho Annie Hall Raiders of the Lost Ark Pulp Fiction Silence of the Lambs Dark Knight Great movies that I could (and have) watched over and over again.

[@robertsolonche5667]

Just started following with your discussion about 'Stalker '. Thanks for the insight. My favorite...best is 'Locke.' I love Tom Hardy. This film is one in a million. The making of it is unique and the supporting cast is perfect. What is it about? The meaning of life, what else is there..

Shhh! Do ya want to be sued?

[@Ronaldsframes]

Okay let me think… Paris, Texas which is maybe my favorite film. A Documentary spot would go to Crumb. Animated film? The Illusionist, the Tati script adapted into an animated film by Sylvan Chomet. My favorite comedy? Kicking and Screaming by Noah Baumbach. The rest of my list doesn’t really fit into categories. I guess they’re dramas basically. Nothing pre-1970 either. That’s a deficiency probably. Days of Heaven My Father’s Glory The Straight Story Chocolat (Claire Denis) Ruby in Paradise For the last spot I’m deliberating between Still Walking by the great Hirokazu Kore-eda, or The Legend of the Holy Drinker by Ermanno Olmi. I think instead I’ll go with Nights of Cabiria by Federico Fellini.

[@justin_sanchez_]

Paris, Texas is something else. Fantastic movie

[@LearningaboutMovies]

great stuff. You remind me to rewatch My Father's/My Mother's. I would consider them one long movie. The Straight Story is arguably the greatest movie about the American Midwest.

[@Ronaldsframes]

@@LearningaboutMovies Thanks for the reply! You’re right they work as one film. I felt that My Father’s is the pitch perfect one, but the ending of My Mother’s brings it all together quite movingly. I’m surprised and a little in wonder about what you think about The Straight Story. There’s something indelible about it right, not the least being the kind of miraculous performance we get from Richard Farnsworth. He would be my Grandparents age who both served in WW 2. My Grandfather on my dad’s side was from Wisconsin, and my moms side is from Yokohama. It’s like a tome to Midwestern Decency and Landscapes. (Tome isn’t quite right.) I love the bartender near the end. Mark Cousins is right. He’s straight out of an Ozu film.

@@LearningaboutMovies It took me awhile to figure out why the BFI critics list disappointed me, and I have come to believe many of the academic choices lack the joy of cinema, the emotional and visceral celebration of visual storytelling. Jeanne Dielman may be a fine exercise in dogmatics, but if you wanted to introduce someone to the possibilities of cinema would that be your first gut reaction choice to show someone? Singin in the Rain, yes; The Godfather, yes; La Strada, yes; Seven Samauri, yes; Notorious, yes...Jeanne Dielman? Hopefully, in 20 years (if I live that long, Lord willing) I will see a Malick at top spot. Your choice or mine would be fine...

Not sure what your movie tastes are but I recommend the movie Mary and Max. It’s a stop motion animated film with a great story and a lot of heart. Most importantly it’s a good movie even without it being animated. I find a lot of people base their opinions on animated films just on how it is visually. A good example of that is the new SpiderVerse movie and maybe a few of the Ghibli movies. Mary and max isn’t like that. It’s great to begin with. It’s animation style just enhances the story being told.
