I like a couple of Haneke films but hus superior/hectoring tone is a real liability when it takes over
speaking of beloved movies I loathe, down with The Turin Horse beyond the opening shot

The Clock would definitely be on mine, but i saw maybe 30% of it.

He lists four Cronenberg movies and can't make room for more than one Kiarostami post-2000?
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
I must watch Down with Love (Reed). I love that JR uses the serious "surname only" format in his brackets.
I think I probably saw 30% of The Clock too. It was a fine few hours, but I'd rather not think of it as a film.

If one allows O.J. Made in America, one must allow The Clock.

Embrace of the Serpent should start making it onto some lists imo

It would be on my list, jmm. I don't think my list will be published.

i liked it fine, but a little too psychedelic for greatness.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link
I liked it too but better film touching on similar subject called Ixcanul you should check out.

Embrace of the Serpent > Ixcanul. I'm not sure how similar they are, though. Wouldn't put either on them on a top 25 either.

yeah if you're counting 25 films in 17 years, usu has to be in top 2 or 3 annually at least
i think in Cinema Valhalla, both Lumet and PSH regret lasting long enough to make that one.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Yeah, I think this and Fellowship of the Ring are the major hits I'd include.
