Am doing this on another forum and it would be interesting to compare the results between this and the other forum

Basically pick 10 movies and submit your list here. When there's been enough posts I'll extract all the data and score each movie (1st 10pts to 10th 1 pt etc) then Put up the top 100 movies as recommended by you lot.

I'll start you with my starter for 10 (groan)

1. The Fisher King
2. Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amelie)
3. Forbidden Planet
4. 2001 : A Space Odyssey
5. LA Story
6. Little Shop of horrors (Musical Rick Moranis)
7. Requiem For a Dream
8. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder)
9. Young Frankenstein
10. The Dark Crystal

Actually 10 is a little much.. if you limit to your top 5 films.. it'll be easier to score and be easier to think of 5 films than 10. so as much as it pains me to say bye bye to Little Shop of horrors, Requiem For a Dream ,Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory ,Young Frankenstein and The Dark Crystal they have to go.. :tears:

ok.. just to confuse matters I now have lists of 5 and lists of 10.. ok, :sick:

I'll score the 5 lists out of 10 (10,9,8,7 and 6) so that a number 1 on the 5 lists matches up to a number 1 on the 10 list.. if you follow? ( I sure as Heck don't)

Yes Requiem for a Dream is Disturbing... but it's an Excellent film. no worse than CJ's Irreversible.. also a great film but Deeply traumatising !!

Donna, surely you know that any major Hollywood film has a porn "cover version"? The porn version of Saving Private Ryan is actually called Shaving Ryan's Privates...

How do I know? Oh, er, I saw a report on Jonathan Woss' program about it. Honest.

I think that title was used in The Guru as one of the films that Heather Graham's character had appeared in. Along with a few others like 'Forrest Hump', 'Star Whores 69', 'Good Will Humping', 'The Ladyfillers', 'Being with John Malkovich', 'Riding Miss Daisy'**... I forget the others.

Thanks! I might expand it to include the other five if we actually want a list of 10.

As Stuart M mentioned there is a porn film with the title Shaving Ryan's Privates along with the Erotic Witch Project and Muffy the Vampire Layer. Not that I've seen any of them. I expect they'll all be pretty bad.

I've only seen the Soderburgh one.
I've only seen the Tarkovsky one right through. It was billed by some in the West at the time as a "Soviet response" to Kubrick's 2001, which in retrospect was odd. I think it's a much more spiritual film, when compared to the coldness of Kubrick's. And it has a more satisfying ending.

Hehe The Jerk - the bit where he realises he is not black and says "what dyu mean I'm gonna stay this colour?" and when he leaves home and starts hitchhiking from his front gate, the neighbour arrives and asks him where he is going and Martin says chicago or where ever and the neighbours says he is going home but offers him a lift to the next gate down the street.

The colour purple - went to see Short circuit one wet camping holiday in Newquay with the ex wife. Turn up and bugger it's not on but it was raining still/again/more and this film the Colour Purple was on. Knew nothing about it. Paid, sat down and was mesmerised start to finish. the best accidental film watching ever.

The opening line had me in stitches..

"I was born a poor black kid".. :rofl:

IMHO all his fiilms up to BUT NOT INCLUSIVE OF Sgt. Bilko were great.. from Sgt. Bilko onwards however.. (makes aeroplane dive noises) his career nose dived. I still think some of his greatest meisterworks include the man with two brains, All of me, His Cameo (not really a camoe per se but a very small role) in Little shop of Horrors, Roxanne and LA Story. I've Not seen many of his later films and sadly.. nor do I wish to.. :tears:

wasn't as easy to score as I thought.. I had to take all those "in no particular order" posts as in the order you posted them. I also grouped like films, so Shrek and Shrek 2 counted as a vote for the same film. I had to do this as a lot of people were putting in multiple options for each of their 10 (or 5.. or 7 as the case may be) then sorted by name, total scores added up and then ordered by total score and then (in case where two films scored the same) by the average score.


I've put my final results with all 159 results into an excel spreadsheet. Which I'll attach below.

Interesting results ;)

There is probably a better way of ordering the list as someone's number one place (which got 10 pts) would outrank say nine votes from 9 other people who put the same film down as their 10th place choice (1 pt each). Also when when We did this on the other forum (a movies forum) it ran for several weeks , had many thousand entries so one individual preference wasn't so important as it all averaged out in the end. because of the low(ish) number of posts , the wide spectrum of movies meant that some films seem to score higher than would be expected.

Thanks.

(if we were just voting for dance movies, I would vote for anything with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly or Cyd Charisse.......)

I should compare this with the IMDB top 100 films. At a glance I certainly see a lot of the same films.

We're normal after all*.

* As normal as someone who votes on IMDB anyway.

I hope you jest? I thought that film to be the biggest pile of purile nonsense I've ever seen. But I understand it did ok in the box office so obviously there's people out there who would disagree with me. Each to their own I suppose. :wink: The rest of your film choices I like though. Especially Pink floyd the wall..

You seen Live at pompeii? excellent stuff.
