I haven't seen it.
I've got Devil's Backbone on DVD. Not seen it yet. Is it any good?
haven't seen that
To be honest, that's the only old French movie I've seen. It was pretty good; very different from Hollywood war movies. I saw Army of Shadows quite recently; haven't had time to watch too many movies lately because of uni, but I'm planning to rent some older French films from my library during the Christmas break.
At least one of his films deserves to be on the list:
Talk to Her
All About My Mother
Volver
Bad Education
matador is another great almovovar movie
Haven't seen it yet. Speaking of Spanish films, what did you think of the Motorcycle Diaries?
it's in my "movie to see" list
As a film student I clearly should have been on this panel.
Les quatre cent coups
A cantebury Tale
Shadows (cassavetes film that influenced scorcese amongst others)
Cabinet of Dr Caligari
The kid (Chaplin not Willis)

I think we can make room for a couple of more, seeing as Marcos was only joking.
Your deadline is 31 Dec. Welcome to the best panel the world has ever put together, Ivor.

I have no idea who is on the panel now and who isn't. Please update the list Spoony.
Geebs, you've raised a good point that the list shouldn't be the author's favorite but there are lots of good movies out there that many (or even one) on the panel might feel was a brilliant movie in every sense but didn't get the recognition it deserved. In the end, we want to list the best 100 movies we've seen which is why it'd be a good idea to watch lots of movies in the next month.

Melb was here yesterday.
Add him on then.
So, that's it then.
And have the PMs been sent out?

I don't think so. Spammy's a lazy cnut.
If you write the PM I'll send them out.

I'm a bit too busy at the mo. Can't we just force Spammy to do them?
We can wait for him to do it. Or we can ask someone else.
i see i'm not in that list
cnuts!
btw, mehro is gay
he'll vote for "Prince of the tides" as number 1 and "Grease" as number 2
gaaaaay
RedNome or Dwayners. Both seem to be the good sort.
but surely a groundmaking movie or one that made a big impact on the movie world should take preference over some russian movie. Id like each person to be able to comfortably argue the case of each movie they nominate rather than "it was good" for i could say that about 1000's of movies not 100
why do we have to send a pm out? id say everyone who is on the list has already seen this thread anyway
Unless that 'some Russian' movie is by Tarkovsky, I presume(who was very influential by the way). I hope you're not limiting yourself to Hollywood films, Geebs. And as I said earlier if we're simply looking at films that were ground breaking/highly influential, then we'll end up with a top ten of Tarkovsky's Kurosawa's or Hitchcock's films. I think influence is one category, but there are so many others.
Where is Van? We need him to put you film buffs in your place.
This is all too fast paced for me. Just send me a PM when you'll are done with a breakaway
Or Eisenstein a very important russian film maker.
Just finished watching operation filmmaker which is a very interesting documentary about an Iraqi film student who gets a break to work on the film "Everything is Illuminated". Very interesting as it takes a completely different path than I was expecting.

So is this going to be a recognised sub-genre that has to be included in our choice? If so, I nominate the lesbian scenes in Bound and Mulholland Drive right now!
off course there are and rightly so but i think any movie that influenced other movies or was groundbreaking at the time deserves extra merit. They are not all going to be like that off course as we are looking for the "best" movies. However, 1 mans opinion is going to sway from another mans opinion so imho we need some kind of structure to the final 100. I want people to convince me why they feel a particular movie should be in the final cut rather than just throwing obscure names around.
oh and i just took 'russian' at random.
may I also suggest cruel intentions then. Not as graphic as the two you mentioned but being a spotty teenager when it was released means it holds a special place in my heart.
Yes, I realised that, but the point I was making is that there are plenty of brilliant films made outside of English speaking nations, they may not be mainstream, but fans of movies will no doubt have seen him. . .or at the very least heard of them. Side notish - Tarantino's been heavily influenced by Takeshi Miike's work. . .and he's plagiarised a few Eastern films, too. They may not have been big in say the US and the UK, but they've clearly been influential to Western cinema and have sizeable following here (and not just in the East.)
As for trying to convince you. . .well my suggestion is that you actually watch the film for yourself first(if you've not actually watched the film), then I suppose you could agree or disagree. As for the structure. . . it's all about opinions, isn't it? which is why we've got 20 people making a list. I'm sure we all won't totally agree with each other's list, but at least we'll have variety.
I like this idea, Im up for it if anything comes of it.
make sure you've drawn up a list by 31 Dec, Simon.
I think most haven't even noticed this thread yet.
I agree with this, I expect and hope everyones list has different things to what mine will end up having, it's inevitable, when did you last agree 100% with any list someone else has done. The fact is people will always have different opinions on what makes a great film and as such we will disagree, but hopefully with 20 odd lists to collate and discuss I am sure we can compromise and come up with something we are all relatively happy with.
It will take time, but it will be worth it.
RedNome, be a pal and send out the PMs please.
What exactly are the rules to this?
1) Do I have to have a certain number of films from a given set of genres? Or do I have carte blanche with my 100?
2) We are not putting them in any order at this stage are we? (Please, God.)
3) Do I just post my hundred up in this thread (by end of the year) or do I PM someone?
4) Do I need to submit anything other than a list? Justifications? Explanations? Recriminations?
