finally, irrefutable proof that Black Christmas & Texas Chainsaw are better than Halloween  |

Great that Halloween and Black Christmas are in the same section, also that they both did quite well. I'd have personally put Halloween a lot higher, but not a bad result for it. I believe it's only the third film so far that I voted for.

Mean Streets deserved a place on this list. Not a fan of Black Christmas, it peaks with the opening sequence imo and it never gets better. F For Fake is *chef's kiss*.

Mother and the Whore didn't make my list but was one that really hurt to leave out... and yes, I own two VHSs of it...  |

Yet another FYI that I almost forgot: The ONLY reason I didn't put Tess in my Top 25 is I thought we had put it in our 1980's list and I considered it an 80's release. I almost asked just in case, but then didn't bother. But I would have put it around #21 or #22, so it's ranking wouldn't have changed too much with my ballot. Maybe would have been 1 or 2 numbers higher, though.
At any event: It's one of the most visually breathtaking & unforgettable films ever made, as well as one of the most emotionally heartbreaking & enraging in terms of its tragic story. Goddess Nastassja Kinski also gives one of the greatest performances ever to be ROBBED by the Oscars. Amazing film and Top 5 Polanski for me.

I'm the #1 for Paper Moon, which is arguably my favorite film ever. The Devils is an incoherent jumble, but when it is good, it is VERY good. A Special Day did nothing for me.

Great to see Salo do so well, behind the supposed 'shock value' is a very fine film indeed.
Paper Moon is a cute film, but I'm sorta surprised to see it approaching the Top 50. Perhaps I need to check it out again.
The Devils is a class film, so very worthy of this high(ish) inclusion.

Three of these should be HIGHEEEEEEEER. Salò and The Devils shook me to my core, and I salute my fellow depraved who voted for them  A Special Day is Marcello and Sophia's greatest collaboration. One of the defining Italian movies of the 1970s. I like Paper Moon but I never got beyond that. |

Went to get lunch and Holy Fnck what a beautiful sight: Mean Streets will always be my fave Scorsese - his 2nd best too for me ........the "best" is coming up on this list  - Serie Noire and The Mother and The Whore are masterpieces - Serie Noire in my all time top 10 performances, I really love that movie..... |

If Paper Moon is here, does that mean that What's Up Doc missed the list? That would hurt. It's probably considered the least of Bogdanovich's peak years, but I'd love to see it surpassing PM here.

Well, I'm off to go shopping. Looking at my list, there's a good chance that most of my high seeds are gonna place in the top 50, so I'll have a lot to celebrate.  |

I'll always credit Salo for teaching me what "mangiare" means in Italian another good group of films. We have pretty good taste! A shame about Love and Anarchy but it's kinda underseen so I get it. Wertmüller needs more traffic in cinephile spaces generally. She made some fuckin amazing and provocative films in the 70s and they're just waiting to be discovered (on Kanopy  ) |

I'll take a small break now and I'll resume in about 15 minutes with the top 50. |

Young Frankenstein, although it should be a decent bit higher I think. Also, a good result for Cabaret. I feel like people forget sometimes what an awesome film it is. What's Up, Doc? is fun stuff as well, so nice to see it here.

Ooooh what a great batch. I just realized I forgot to put Young Frankenstein on my list  The Hourglass Sanatorium is one of the most gorgeous movies ever, even if it didn't make my list. I love Cabaret but I maintain that Lenny was the Fosse movie that deserved a spot more. Amarcord is one of my favorite Fellinis and in my Top 10 of the decade |

Also, I always try when these lists come out to focus more on how happy I am about the great ones that make it than being bummed about the overrated ones that also get in, but if I can just have a brief moment to vent: Black Christmas is better than Day for Night, Animal House, Tess, Last Tango in Paris, Love and Death, Halloween, Mean Streets, and Five Easy Pieces?!?!?! SUUUUURE, JAN.  One of the most overrated horror films I've ever seen. |

Very happy that two of my picks made it (Life of Brian, Love and Death).
Lenny should have been in the list...
And the movies from #76 to #79, they all deserved to be much higher (Patton, Last Tango in Paris, A Woman Under the Influence, The French Connection!
