Now let's calm down people ........we can all disagree on this list .........but let's remember the amazing consistency of Mr. Denzel Washington - who has never had a single film - ever, anywhere - on any serious film list critical or popular (see below) ....
* 0 movies in the top 100 Sight and Sound (this year, ever, on any S&S list) - 0 movies in the IMDB top 250 (ever), 0 movies in the Letterboxd Top 250 (ever), 0 in the Critics TSPDT 1000 iirc (that's 1000!), 0 in the AFI Top 100, 0 in Rotten Tomatoes Top 100..... * That's a huge rise for Mulholland Drive btw in @ #8 - with this and Meshes of the Afternoon @ 16 - that's quite a 1-2 placement of (awesome) weirdness * Good to see Ozu holding his ground - you would have thought since this maybe skewed younger this would get knocked down ^ * De Niro shows up 5 more times in the top 250 (Raging Bull, GF 2, Deer Hunter, OUATIA, Heat)........Pacino twice.........Nicholson once ..........Day-Lewis once .......the best actors are in the best movies people ........ and while you can argue DePac / Nicholson & Brando as to who's actually the "American GOAT" and everybody has an opinion ................. if you put any American male actors above those 4.......well you really shouldn't do that.......just sayin' * Lynch shows up with Fire Walk With Me (211) and The Return (152)........ |

his best movie by far and very deserving to be on here Magnolia is one of his worst films, probably his second-worst after Inherent Vice; bloated, unfocused, and silly. Boogie Nights is far and away his best film despite being encoded with Goodfellas DNA. |

Boogie Nights is far and away his best film despite being encoded with Goodfellas DNA. funnily enough IV is probably my second favorite of his. i find him at his least interesting when he's aping the work of other masters and doing inorganic things; he's exceptional as a messy auteur, for my money anyways. |

The Tree Of Life at #196 from #107 in the previous poll? What the hell happened there?
Also interesting that Twin Peaks: The Return and Under The Skin, both more recent, landed ahead of it.

Crazy to think that Jaws and It's a Wonderful Life didn't make the list in 2012. For some reason, I thought they did.
Glad to see All about my Mother there (the only Almodovar on the list, right?) and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me finally getting the recognition it deserves. Also, so happy to see Portugal represented on the list, with Pedro Costa's In Vanda's Room!

Quentin Tarantino was recently a guest on the Bret Easton Ellis podcast and admitted, with a chuckle, that he’s never seen ‘Jeanne Dielman,’ When asked about what he thought of its #1 placement, Tarantino added “No comment.”
But you just know that dude has totally seen The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) and Wasteland (2012) - pacinoyes' 2 GOAT Porn films........um.........just sayin'..........  Ugh, Men......... ammirite Jeanne?  www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/3/8/quentin-tarantino-has-never-seen-jeanne-dielman

Lmao. |
