Five Altmans  and Seven Woodys! I would never disagree with anyone's favs.... and your list is really wonderful anyway. I love your love of ensemble-based movies (an Altman specialty)....and also love to see comedies, like Spinal Tap and Animal House, between the serious stuff. The most surprising add is Woody's Everyone Says I Love You bc I didn't know anyone liked that movie besides me (!)...I put it near my fav musicals bc I enjoy how it's a little messy and not so precious and precise about its choreography. |

Yeah, I'm with Mattsby - your list is your list and most of it is pretty terrific....I'm not a fan of your # 1 - but I have weird ideas about Rock and Roll in general - I mean I think Led Zeppelin blows, David Bowie wasn't an album artist and Pet Sounds - in general - is overrated (ducks, runs for cover)..... What I like about the list is it has a real wide range of films - and a lot of animation which I never have and is a huge weak spot for me.......my list (sorta) is below - no order after the top 2 - the ones with * were done for TV, the bottom 10 are all horror .....that means a lot to me.......... not "best" so much as some beloved favorites - I'm not really a list guy tbh but this will do ......for today at least   1.

My only quibble with the list is that Twin Peaks S3 is not a movie  Although if I were to put it in my personal Top 100 it'd probably be among the main 10! Lovely list! What I particularly enjoy about it is the healthy presence of comedies - for some reason many Top 100s that I see (including my own, unfortunately) don't feature this genre that much so it's kind a breath of fresh air to see so many And I love Everyone Says I Love You too! |

Have always loved your love for Almost Famous. First time I watched it I really, really liked it. On re-watch I fell in love, and is now comfortably in my Top 100. Also love the high placement for My Dinner With Andre.
Actually haven't seen like at least half of your list, been slacking on movie watching majorly this year.

MY 100 FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL-TIME:
1. Almost Famous (2000, Cameron Crowe)
44. Paris, Texas (1984, Wim Wenders)
72. Pleasantville (1998, Gary Ross)
78. Three Colors: Red (1994, Krzysztof Kieslowski)
87. True Romance (1993, Tony Scott)
100. The Virgin Suicides (2000, Sofia Coppola)
I can appreciate that your list comes off as one that's rich with films that are meaningful to YOU as opposed to looking like a direct copy of what is standard for film critics/experts. The awesome True Romance, for example, is evidence of that. I also like that you have Pleasantville. A true 90s gem. Three Colors: Red I highlighted because I rewatched that genius trilogy this year (and it's easily the best entry). I'm one of those people with a soft spot for Almost Famous too.  The Virgin Suicides is a whole MOOD. That movie and Election are two 1999 movies that that hideously overrated American Beauty never had anything on but trophies. Regarding Paris, Texas, not too long ago after listening to that brilliant Ry Cooder music as a work soundtrack, I revisited the scenes with Harry Dean Stanton talking to Nastassja Kinski. What I got was that the writing and acting in their second scene together brought that same feeling and flow that Cooder's guitar playing did. Ugh, such a wonderful movie. |
