[Marsipolami]

some of y'all are straight up weird.

my attempt:

1. Sunset Blvd. (1950, Billy Wilder)
2. Eyes Wide Shut (1999, Stanley Kubrick)
3. Dazed and Confused (1993, Richard Linklater)
4. Happy Together (1997, Wong Kar-wai)
5. Under the Skin (2014, Jonathan Glazer)
6. The Long Goodbye (1973, Robert Altman)
7. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001, Peter Jackson)
8. Naked (1993, Mike Leigh)
9. Paths of Glory (1957, Stanley Kubrick)
10. Vertigo (1958, Alfred Hitchcock)

most of them aren't the usual canon suspects but I do adore them. shout outs to The Bicycle Thieves, Vivre sa vie, High and Low, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Sherlock Jr., Beau travail, Persona, Army of Shadows, The Passion of Joan of Arc etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

 

[Song of the Turtle]

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
2. Spirited Away (2001)
3. Millennium Actress (2001)
4. Alien (1979)
5. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
6. Once Upon A Time in the West (1968)
7. The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
8. Rear Window (1954)
9. The Dark Knight (2008)
10. Hero (2002)

I included Millennium Actress last minute. Just saw the movie yesterday and it blew me away. The editing is a thing of beauty.

Honorable mentions:
Princess Mononoke (1997)
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
My Neighbour Totoro (1988)
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Aliens (1986)
Back to the Future (1985)

Yeah, I love me some Ghibli. It was a hard decision to not put them all in but I really wanted to cut the list down to one film per director.
But I also have to admit there are many classics I haven't seen yet, like 12 Angry Men, Lawrence of Arabia or any Kurusawa movie.

I updated my list ages ago and pointed it out, but my section in the Google doc hasn't been updated - has the Google list been updated at all?...

I haven't updated the list in a while. Been super busy, and my computer crapped out on me - so I had to purchase all new components and build another from scratch.

I probably won't have the chance to update anything till this weekend, so it makes sense to leave voting open until Friday/Saturday.

[Spinluck]

Every art form has a shit-ton of variety within it, in different ways. Films are no more or less difficult to compare to one another than any other art form.

Mad Max and Shaun the Sheep are actually pretty close for me right now, but I'll give em some more time and let the high die down. Thinking more on Aardman now, I feel like Were-Rabbit might actually deserve a spot.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Yeah, no, this isn't happening, unless someone else is willing to take over, which I doubt.

If you look at the spreadsheet in the OP there's a pretty big list. I guess he just hasn't decided to put it together in a new results thread yet.
