totally surprised finney likes 'the dreamers' but glad he does cos it's aces.

― n_RQ, Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:00 (eighteen years ago) link

singin in the rain is unstoppable. are there musicals quite as good? i remember some minnellis as disappointing but jesus i like some came running so much! also the band wagon. i guess its just an american in paris i ws unmoved by. add mccabe and mrs miller cuz its hilarious, and the big sleep, too, for that reason

surprised too, its problemmatic historiography but not all bad, not unsexy, the dreamers

16. hamlet (almareyda, 00s?) oh come on this has ethan hawke & liev schreiber in it and it's "modern day" give me a fucking BREAK. never seen it.

This one is surprisingly effective... and almost the complete antithesis of Luhrmann's R+J (which I also like).

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

No one has mentioned Tommy among the great musicals! (Possibly this is because it is a terrible film, but I like it.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Van Helsing is coming on TV in quarter of an hour, so from what I hear I may have a new one to list in a couple of hours, odds are on the least favourite list.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Ten I like a lot:

The Shop Around the Corner (Lubitsch)
The Lady Eve (Sturges)
Rope (Hitchcock)
Band of Outsiders (Godard)
Goodfellas (Scorsese)
Barton Fink (Coen)
Dazed and Confused (Linklater)
Chungking Express (Wong Kar-Wai)
Goodbye South Goodbye (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)
Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World (Weir)

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:52 (eighteen years ago) link

It seems I have completely skipped over the '70s and '80s - but those were ten that came to mind.

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Tommy left me both un-high and un-dry.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 16 July 2005 17:56 (eighteen years ago) link

meet me in st louis

Probably my favorite musical, except for maybe "Spinal Tap".

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

it's my fave without question.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Judy Garland effortlessly rules over the earth, air, and sea. Is there any other musical in which she comes close to that performance?

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:10 (eighteen years ago) link

why all the hate for fight club, doom generation, mulholland drive and american beauty?!?

― nathalie's body's designed for two (stevie nixed), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I would replace Mulholland Dr. with The Story Of Us on my list because Mulholland Dr has a really great lesbian titty scene

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Van Helsing would certainly be among the worst films I've ever seen, but I doubt that I will keep watching - Big Brother on in a bit, y'know... VH particularly has some deeply painful acting - Wolverine's fine, but Dracula is plumbing depths rarely approached, admittedly with the help of the worst dialogue anyone's been handed since Ed Wood's heyday.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

why all the hate for fight club, doom generation, mulholland drive and american beauty?!?

i understand the fight club hate, but i put it number 1 anyway; just a big film for me personally, and a kind of totem i guess for intelligent populist modern cinema. the others are shit, though.

― n_RQ, Saturday, 16 July 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I love Mulholland Dr., Fight Club is OK, American Beauty isn't a bad film (which makes it easier to dislike, I think - bad films are bad films, dislikable are another category) but yeah, Doom Generation is a steaming pile of shit.

I didn't think Van Helsing was any worse than your average comic-book movie (better than either Spidey or the X-Men films). Bad but not inconceivably bad.
