worst film ranked 1-50 on that film canon list that morbs posted

Andrei Rublev vs. L'avventura vs. The Searchers

ok worst and least fave Taxi Driver

i don't think 5, 6 or 7 are top ten worthy at all.

8½ easily.

Of the 25 I've seen, The Searchers

Haven't see L'Atalante, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Grand Illusion, The General, Persona or Andrei Rublev. Of the ones I've seen (and they all seem pretty great) I'd have to say my least favorites are Some Like It Hot, Psycho, and It's A Wonderful Life.

Blade Runner, so boring

It's a Wonderful Life, Casablanca, the Bicycle Thieves, Modern Times are all obv. very entertaining, but there are so many 'better' films, its untrue

apocalypse now edges out lawrence of arabia (neither is a bad film)

Citizen Kane
2001: A Space Odyssey
Lawrence of Arabia
Jules et Jim

either one of those. feel like voting for Jules et Jim (love Truffaut but this one was very dissapointing) on the other hand it has some magical moments. i generally HATEHATEHATE epics like Lawrence of Arabia.

yeah, cinematography of Lawrence is great but Lean in epic mode is a chore for me, like his more "human" scaled films

2001 barf

I never liked Rear Window (and haven't seen half the list.)

lawrence of arabia. just your standard "epic" film.

Taxi Driver, never really understood what's so great about it. 2001 is my least favourite of Kubrick's major works, but at least it has some groovy visuals.

lawrence of arabia. just your standard "epic" film.

arguing on the internet is so much easier these days

i can't decide between eight-and-a-half and apocalypse now. the latter is some horrible coked-up attempt at profundity; the former has maybe the greatest gap between rep and what it actually achieves, though i think i'd probably not mind it if i saw it again

Pretty sure the worst is one of the ones I haven't seen yet, like Seven Samurai or La Strada, but since I voted Hitchcock in the other poll, I'll vote for him here too to even the scales: North By Northwest. Dishonorable mentions go to Casablanca and Raging Bull, tho.

glad to see I'm not the only one with active dislike for 8 1/2

As I said on the other thread Apocalypse Now seems to me to the be the one least worthy of inclusion (I'm assuming that the version of Bladerunner listed is the de-voice-overed directors cut which is also a pretty weird choice, but at least has an ending that doesn't feel completely slap-dash.)

The Searchers or 8 1/2.

Apocalypse Now, followed by Blade Runner. Others I would just describe as "way too high": the first Godfather, 8½, Lawrence, Taxi Driver, Some Like It Hot, Sunset Blvd, The Night of the Hunter, La Dolce Vita, Jules et Jim, The Searchers.

Vertigo.

Whoops, wrong thread!

"Apocalypse Now, followed by Blade Runner."

Holy shit! Is this the first time Morbs and I have actually agreed on something. ;)

no, we both hate Strange Days and sticking one's hand into a trash compactor.

Jesus, jaymc, you scared me for a sec there.

Jules et Jim, easy.

Apocalypse Now second worst, prob.

Rear Window.

battleship potemkin, god that shit was boring. i don't care when it was made.

Jules et Jim, yes.

The Godfather

searchers, raging bull, the 400 blows?

It's a Wonderful Life

the 400 blows?

NO

I think it's not entirely impossible that 2001 wins both polls

Either Raging Bull or Taxi Driver. Scorcese is one of the most consistently overrated directors ever. I don't hate his stuff, but I'm rarely very impressed by it and it never really stays with me.

I agree, but my dislike of It's a Wonderful Life eclipses all

watched sunset blvd recently - dont think its the worst, but def overrated imo

I'm not sure what people don't like about Taxi Driver. Plot, acting, cinematography, music were all incredible, I thought. It's my favorite Scorcese movie.

I agree with sarahel about It's A Wonderful Life. It was too sentimental for me

as discussed before, A Wonderful Life works a lot better if you just pretend George dies.

A Wonderful Life works better when I forget it exists.

it also works if you pretend like this dude is morbs

much more like John Barrymore, I am

What do you guys hate about J&J so much? It's not the heaviest fare, I guess, but calling it the worst of this list seems a bit harsh.

I know I saw it, but I remember very little about it ... I only remember that it had smartly dressed French people walking around aimlessly and a bunch of poignant looks ...

Haha if that's complaint hating on that and not Breathless seems perverse.

I wasn't one of the people hating on J&J ...

Jeanne Moreau's Catherine is a troubling creation to many viewed from the post-feminist age. "She's sexy, dangerous, fatal."

xp I know.

I could see someone disliking it for those reasons though ...

Possibly "North By Northwest." Never really hung together for me, even though Cary Grant drunk on bourbon is ultimately classic.

really Hitchcock, shame on you for mixing sophisticated comedy with the chase thriller. Shame shame shame.

Possibly "North By Northwest." Never really hung together for me, even though Cary Grant drunk on bourbon is ultimately classic.

never hung together for you?????? this is possibly one of the wrongest things ever posted on ilx.

I don't know. Look, it's ranked 49 out of 50 anyway. I just don't care for it all that awfully much. There are 10 or 15 Hitchcock films I like better.

weird, it's easily my favorite hitchcock

Better than Rear Window? Vertigo? The hilarious absurdity of the last act of Strangers on a Train? The morbid simplicity of Rope?

of the ones i've seen, i'd say either 2001 (pretty but boring) or dr. strangelove (still funny in parts but other bits haven't aged well). huh, both kubrick, what do you know.

Rope is probably my favorite Hitchcock

yes yes yes yes

Singin in the rain.
never saw it till the end.

or Lawrence

what would Strangelove need to have aged well, Sarah Palin jokes?

as noted elsewhere, of the 47 i've seen, the only one i actually disliked was l'avventura.

what would Strangelove need to have aged well, Sarah Palin jokes?

I wouldn't have brought so much piss to the party, but I was wondering that myself.

what would Strangelove need to have aged well, Sarah Palin jokes?

a nuclear war

real armond white fans favourite hitchcock is family plot

"Sophisticated comedy." The phrase alone just gives makes me zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It WOULD!

Rope is probably my favorite Hitchcock

Lordy ... it's "watchable," but the xcript is labored and obvious, Dall and Granger both bother me, and Stewart is utterly miscast. Among dissed '40s Hitch I much prefer The Paradine Case and Under Capricorn.

funny that makes me laugh > satire that doesn't make me laugh

strangelove has like a total of 3 lol moments in the whole movie

both billy wilder movies are way too high.

..and are where The Apartment and A Foreign Affair could be!

If you see Strangelove in a theater, iatee, you will be proven wrong.

lol no amount of "u need to say it in the theater" silliness should cover the fact that iatee is straight up wrong.

yeah strangelove is amazing and hilarious

sb

I saw Strangelove in a theater, and yes it was a great experience.

yes that's because wherever you see it strangelove is a great experience.

hahahaha so dare I answer the question honestly? OK: the one I enjoyed least of these is Grand Illusion.

SB

I haven't seen that many on the list, though, and I did like the movie, just not as much as the others I'd seen.

I was just being silly cause it's one of my favourite films on the list, of the ones I've seen. I'm going with Raging Bull.

I thing most everyone (here) would be in general agreement that it's Rules of the Game that's Renoir's undying, populist/critical/historical hat trick masterpiece and that it's Grand Illusion that's the creaky film school staple.

As my wife and I watched L' Atalante, after about 45 minutes I began to repeat the blurb on the case, "This could be one of the greatest films of all time!" and my wife had no trouble understanding that I was being sarcastic. It is mildly charming in a rather attenuated way.

Raging Bull is exceedingly repetitive and bloviated. I think it needed one more stooge for the humor to work.

Breathless is... I can't say really. I couldn't watch more than fifteen minutes of it before I hit the eject button.

I didn't even think of Raging Bull. It makes its points an hour before it ends. I have no idea how I ended up with a dvd copy of it, because I never want to watch it again. It's not the least great movie I own, but it's easily one of the least fun.

yeah i don't like breathless at all but there are worse offenders on the list.

aw breathless is grebt

The charms of L'Atalante are mostly self-evident, and it it's not quite as in-your-face grebt as Sunrise, it's also more believably romantic, et al.

i don't remember a single thing about la strada

yeah strangelove is amazing and hilarious

The entire sequence where poor proper British Captain Mandrake gets trapped with General Ripper, who seems to be behaving irrationally, then VERY irrationally, then obviously has a fucking tea party in his head, then goes in the bathroom and shoots himself... oh my God that's funny. Every second of it.

"Tell me, Jack. When did you first... well... develop this theory?"

Which is to say, try it again, latee. :)

haha is it controversial to say my second-least-favorite is Godfather II? I know a lot of movie buffs prefer it to the first but I don't (though it's obv. excellent).

I didn't find Strangelove particularly funny, either -- always just chalked this up to being born too late to fully appreciate the geopolitical context. But I saw it once, over 10 years ago, so who knows, maybe I'd dig it if I saw it again.

haha I have seen strangelove like 5 times. I don't even dislike it! and I love kubrick. it just doesn't make me lol that often.

raging bull. why did I buy this???

I saw Raging Bull when stoned at 24, and was blown away by it. Maybe I need to see it again

all I remember about Raging Bull is ice down the shorts and stylized black & white fights

I saw Raging Bull while recovering from having my wisdom teeth out.

(It seemed weirdly appropriate.)

What's all this Lawrence of Arabia crazy talk? Was robbed of a place in the top 10 and it's just so damn watchable.

Blade Runner belongs nowhere near this list. 400 Blows was pretty boring too.

actually, maybe I need to watch it again too. but I'm the kind of person who (sort of) likes goodfellas despite it being all about despicable people that I hate and don't especially want to watch. but I did like this painting:

http://www.oceansbridge.com/paintings/artists/special/big/goodfellas_painting.jpg

raging bull is like that minus the painting but with more aggro meathead action.

but it does look cool.

(x-post)

and the sci fi nerd in me is really getting bummed-out by all of this blade runner bashing.

yes. I thought Bladder Runner was a great movie that deserves to be higher.

I like pretty much every movie on this list I've seen, even Some Like It Hot, which got my vote. A very cute movie, but I don't really see why it's so highly rated. Is it the token "great" comedy film?

Interesting to see the negativity for 8 1/2 - it's my second favorite movie on the entire extended list. I'm having trouble deciding on a relative worst film on this list as all the ones I've seen are excellent.

It would be a "token" "great" comedy film for people who are unwilling to reach back to the primordial genius of the silent clowns, yes. xp

it's Grand Illusion that's the creaky film school staple

Overstatement Alert. I think it's bcz La Grande Illusion has been widely imitated.

I really don't understand how a film with the line "Your muddah sucks big fat elephant dicks!" cannot be considered fun.

I do understand how people who think Arrested Development was genius can miss the boat on Strangelove.

Way to argue something totally irrelevant, there.

I saw Raging Bull while recovering from having my wisdom teeth out.

Reminds me of reading "The Stand" while too sick to get out of bed for two weeks, and thus teasing myself with the possibility that I might DIE from whatever I had. It's great dark fun to fuck with your own head like that.

I really don't understand how a film with the line "Your muddah sucks big fat elephant dicks!" cannot be considered fun.

The Exorcist is, indeed, a stitch.

Biggest problem with Raging Bull is that the fight sequences are laughably bad. I also agree that Godfather II has real problems (esp. with the Michael half.)

Biggest problem with Raging Bull is that the fight sequences are laughably bad.

Biggest problem with Raging Bull is that the rest of the sequences are even worse.

All I know for sure is that you fucked my wife.

Where you get the balls big enough to ask me that?

i dunno, i like dr. strangelove a lot, but something about the pacing or structure or something just seems awkward and stiff. like a bunch of setpieces that don't really flow together as a movie. sorry dudes!

I don't remember them talking about Dr Strangelove in Raging Bull at all? Maybe it's in the sequel? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1148205/

I've seen a couple of articles running down Fellini as boring and overrated recently, and I wonder if he's starting to suffer a critical eclipse. I still think he's great.

Off this list, Apocalypse Now seems the most objectionable. Another one of those anti-war movies that pro-war guys love.

Yeah but I don't think it's possible to make a war critical movie that pro-war guys won't love. I mean I don't see any way you can't read, for example, the first 1/2 of Full Metal Jacket as being totally and completely anti-Marines/anti-war/anti-violence and yet I don't think I've met a single military person who didn't love it. My bigger objection to Apocalypse Now is that it descends into complete silliness by the end (and it doesn't start out very serious either.)

I know exactly what you mean - some photog famously said you can't point a camera at war without glamorising it - but military guys aren't necessarily pro-war. FMJ actually shows the kind of chaos and brutality that I can see would cause combat shock - I imagine people with military experience respond to that realism. (Catch 22 is kind of similar in that respect.)

AN, on the other hand, is war as a ponderously mystical trip, and treats the vietnamese as Indiana Jones heavies.

Apocalypse Now is a series of shocks. It has no beginning and it has no ending, and you could play it in a loop if you were masochistic enough to put yourself through that wringer more than once in a row. But no way is it not effective at what it does. It's *brilliant* at what it does. Nevermind what that is.

enjoying this thread. i hope in the end someone reps for every single entry on the list ;)

La Strada is definetely not top 50 material.

i am not much for war movies but I thought Apocalypse Now was a very interesting and weird experience. (or Kenan otm)

The "morbid simplicity" of Rope? How about the morbid joke of miscasting Jimmy Stewart?

Yeah, you and Morbs are probably right about that. He's not AWFUL, but... hm. Thinking now of who would have worked better.

The role is a conceit that's impossible to play. If he'd cast John Wayne it would have been a hilarious kneeslapper.

I can imagine it as a role for a classic horror actor, perhaps Peter Lorre or Vincent Price. They don't NEED realistic character writing.

But then it would be a different movie.

i voted for some like it hot. soooooo many better movies than that one. it's been enshrined as a "classic" for as long as i've been alive and i never got the fuss. but i don't think i'm a wilder comedy fan in general. (though i give him cred for writing ninotchka. ninotchka just one example of a movie way better than some like it hot.)

The role is a conceit that's impossible to play.

Awfully hard to call anyone miscast, then.

"It's *brilliant* at what it does."

Up to the point it ceases to be brilliant and becomes alternately ponderous and laughable, sure.

"and treats the vietnamese as Indiana Jones heavies"

What Vietnamese??! They aren't actually in the movie for but a few seconds!

Andrei Rublev

― iatee, Monday, September 7, 2009 3:25 AM (Yesterday) Bookmark

EN GARDE

if raging bull weren't on here, andrei rublev might be my protest vote bc of the animal cruelty.

but I do really like it, anyway. I like just about everything on here that I've seen.

this thread just reminded me that I watched godfather 3 while recovering from wisdom teeth removal. also strangely appropriate.

Can never figure out why people have the patience for Andrei Rublev (which I still haven't managed to get through) and can't stand Antonioni, Ozu, Dreyer, et al.

They like burning cows.

or is it horses?

"Can never figure out why people have the patience for Andrei Rublev (which I still haven't managed to get through) and can't stand Antonioni, Ozu, Dreyer, et al."

Who are these people?

I think 99% of people who can't stand Antonioni, Ozu and Dryer also can't stand Rublev.

I think it means they like burning cows and horses having their legs broken.

(x-post)

I think 99% of people who can't stand Antonioni, Ozu and Dryer also can't stand Rublev.

We'd really need a poll to know this for sure.

Yes!

Mystified at the number of people hating the Searchers. Would be interested why.

Voted Citizen Kane, but happy for someone to tell me why I'm wrong.

(Only seen maybe 30 of the list, though.)

We've explained why!

I missed that bit!

It's on the original thread.

Link?

I've been offline for ages.

how many of the top HUNDRED of They Shoot Pictures, Don't They top 1000 films have you seen?

It's hated by some people who can't comprehend it's no more "racist" than Taxi Driver

That's true it's not, but the Searchers has other problems besides racism (as does Taxi Driver to be honest.)

like being boring

main character is racist obv =/= filmmaker is racist, though in the cases of Searchers and Taxi Driver, the line may be blurred

It's hated because the comedy ain't funny and Natalie Wood's makeup is frightening.

lol i don't hate the searchers because it's "racist"!

Don't feed the strawman.

It's about fear of miscegenation, innit. It's about lots of things, but that's one of them.

the movies is boring and it sucks, that's why everyone hates it

I think it does seem v clunky and of its time, and the comedy isn't funny. But I've always found it really powerful despite that.

You are all peculiar.

Really, there are a lot more "boring" films on that list!

Battleship Potemkin is at #8... and people are hating on Rear Window, 8 1/2, Jules & Jim, Andrei Rublev, Taxi Driver, Strangelove... just wanna put that out there...

i'm actually curious to hear why anyone LOVES Battleship Potemkin, is it just cause of the baby carriage on the steps?

battleship potemkin is good! it's actually pretty exciting and entertaining imo in addition to the obvious innovations and historical interest.

^and this from a man who doesn't like film!

It's not my favorite Russian film tho.

You are all peculiar.

Not that anyone needs the reminder, but we're being asked to pick the worst movie out of a collection of movies the majority of those whose opinions matter almost overwhelmingly consider grebt, et al.

exactly, I "appreciate" 2001 and Dr. Strangelove, they're just the ones on this list that I wouldn't be as excited about seeing again

Yeah even most of the films on this list that I've bad-mouthed I still consider to be pretty great (or at least largely successful at what they are trying to do even if what they are trying to do isn't my thing.)

strangelove isn't all that funny

opinions differ.

What a surprise the "worst" thread is getting the most attention.

I like that worst thread is getting a lot more attention than the best one.

Haha xp

so do the Medved brothers

Well I mean how much more lauding can you do of some of these films. It's a lot more fun to pick apart their flaws than it is to repeat for the umpteenth million time how great and revolutionary they are.

Admittedly a lot of the arguments about why these films are not great are just as ossified as the praise so whatevs.

^and this from a man who doesn't like film!

lol it's a complicated relationship--i think film has the most potential of any art form and is also fabulous at regularly missing that potential.

film is still incredibly young as far as art forms go

btw i'm only commenting on this thread more than the Best thread b/c its way easier to pick a worst than a best off of this list

xp b-b-bbut it's dying according to many well-respected film snobs.

films that dont really belong in a "top 50" imo:

both Billy Wilder movies
both Godfathers
Rashomon
It's a Wonderful Life
Jules et Jim
Apocalypse now (prob the only movie listed here i really like but it's totally flawed)

what I've seen of this list is all really good. I'm sure there's some stuff on here I haven't seen (hello Andrei Rublev) that I would probably hate

I'd rate the Apartment over Some Like It Hot that's for sure. But Some Like It Hot is still good

rashomon, iirc, is pretty tedious. not my fave kurosawa by a long shot.

What is? Rhapsody in August?

2001 is just a bit more obnoxious than Lawrence...

Dr. Strangelove

What is? Rhapsody in August?

I know it has its haters, but I really love ran.

(haven't seen rhapsody in august.)

Wait Ran has haters? Seriously as surprised by that as I am by Rashomon ambivalence.

you know, I should probably just watch rashomon again. I haven't seen it since I was an easily bored teenager. would probably have a different opinion now.

as for ran, I just dug around a bit and it looks like you're right! just about everyone loves it. not sure where that came from but I'm glad to be wrong. the scene where the emperor descends down that long flight of stairs as a castle burns behind him is just amazing. the whole thing is just visually mind-blowing.

so, I take it I should see rhapsody in august then?

Hah I wouldn't watch it again, but I'm sure it has its defenders.

I voted NXNW. It's by far my least favorite Hitchcock (that I've seen). It's hard to get past the ridiculousness of the drunk driving scene.

Having seen them all, I'm pretty sure I never once had a "That was awful--what are people thinking?" reaction. So I won't cast a vote; the time-frame in which I've seen them stretches back 30-some years, and I'd have to see them all again tomorrow before voting with any confidence. But I will say that I'm not that big on 8-1/2 (or Fellini in general), The Rules of the Game (I've tried two or three times--sorry), or L'Avventura (ditto; I liked Eclipse much better); that Potemkin is another long-ago film-class viewing I barely remember; that I just don't connect with 2001 or Blade Runner that deeply (perhaps a genre blind spot); and that, while I enjoy Casablanca, I'd much rather see The Big Sleep holding down that spot. Overall, I think it's a pretty thoughtful list.

I don't like Ran! Too ponderous. Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, High and Low...so many better Kurosawa...

I don't care for Fellini at all but 8 1/2 is one of my favorite movies.

i think film has the most potential of any art form and is also fabulous at regularly missing that potential.

yes, 99% of commercial films are shit and always have been. Just follow my recommendations, I do the heavy lifting.

I voted NXNW. It's hard to get past the ridiculousness of the drunk driving scene.

THE MOVIE IS A COMIC FANTASY

hahahaha i'm not just talking about commercial films!! most "art films" or whatever dichotomy u feel like creating fail too!

by commercial I mean anything you pay to see.

can "pay to see" include my netflix and overpriced crap my lol college friends bought on criterion?

sure (the paying can be assumed)

hahah then we agree that 99% of commercial films are crap but you still like 'em more than i do :)

1% of everything ever is still a lot (kinda like RECORDS)

I voted NXNW. It's hard to get past the ridiculousness of the drunk driving scene.

THE MOVIE IS A COMIC FANTASY

I just find it hard to get past the unamusing boringness of every other scene that doesn't involve a crop-duster.

i suppose at the end of the day i have no use for as many canonical records as films (proportionally speaking) but i think it's way easier for a record to succeed on its own terms if only because the degree of collaboration required is so much lower.

"I don't like Ran! Too ponderous."

You are seriously weird.

eric, do you hate action movies? cause they don't come any better than NBNW.

Eric apparently hates Hitchcock movies where the hero uses potentially lethal circumstances to wryly persuade the blonde to marry him, as opposed to the reverse in Rear Window.

Also, he insists that Cary Grant not be funny.

what about Psycho? Despite the innovative camera work and generally high level of tension, its writing/acting is overwrought and the hokey Freudian plot twist at the end is silly imo. I much prefer NBNW. Vertigo is in my top two or three favorite films on the list, though

the plot twist isn't my problem, it's that they waste ten minutes at the end explaining the plot twist that any idiot could have gotten anyway

Eric apparently hates Hitchcock movies where the hero uses potentially lethal circumstances to wryly persuade the blonde to marry him, as opposed to the reverse in Rear Window.

Did you hurt your back bending over backward like that?

I like action movies fine. I just think NxNW is more a failed comedy than a successful actioneer.

but we've seen what you think are successful comedies!

k3vin k., a studio picture in 1960 needed at least 10 minutes to explain a homicidal man in a dress. You know, OLD DAYS, SO STOOPID.

OLD DAYS, SO STOOPID

OTM

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

oh shit I voted bicycle thieves on accident, meant to vote for that in the other thread.

pretend these results have -1 bt and +1 the searchers.

wait maybe I got it right, I dunno, I had both threads open at once and am semi-retarded

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I think it's not entirely impossible that 2001 wins both polls

― iatee, Monday, September 7, 2009 9:21 PM (2 weeks ago)

so close

oh the challops

Well what actually won seems like the patently obv choice. Of the top 5 only 2001 seems out of place.

North by Northwest 4

weirdest finish imo - it's not my favorite hitchcock. it was on tv the other day and I changed the channel. but worst movie on this list???

of what I've seen almost everything on this list is pretty great but even so I wouldn't really rate Some Like It Hot or Night of the Hunter over Apocalypse Now (also fairly certain I would hate Andrei Rublev)

yeah andrei rublev getting no votes is disappointing, spent my vote hoping for a searchers coup, but otherwise woulda voted for that

North by Northwest 4

yeah I'd love to hear some defenses of this.

"yeah andrei rublev getting no votes is disappointing"

Well most people wouldn't sit through it so. . .

Surprised Casablanca didn't get any votes.

And the Godfather got THREE and Godfather II got ZERO. That's nuts.

Casablanca is disliked mostly by fascists!

Godfather II benefits from no Brando crap

if you dont like casablanca you are a bad person imo

andrei rublev deserves no votes here. screw you guys and your talk.

i've seen 33 of these. "8 1/2" was easily my least favorite.

Nice to see "Breathless" finally reaching it's expiration date.

agreeee

at least one person agreed with me.

Like iatee, I was banking on a Searchers coup. Bah.

two posters above claimed they voted for Some Like It Hot, only one vote shown above. either one of them let a little joy shine into their shriveled little hearts or it's a conspiracy, man

option 2 seems more realistic

"Godfather II benefits from no Brando crap"

Unfortunately replacing with extra Pacino crap.

+ extra italian crap

sorry, that should've read + extra sicilian thing crap

Sicily in II > Sicily in I

Pacino in II > Pacino in I

finally, a godfather I vs godfather II argument

Pacino in II > Pacino in I

Nope.

Aaaaaand rebuffed.

I'm sorry I clicked on this thread now. Jeez what a downer. STOP HATING THINGS THAT ARE GOOD.

It's okay to criticize things that are good, DavidM.

tbf 'hating things that are good' is basically the purpose of this thread

except for the searchers...which is obv not good, despite my failed searchers coup

Holy crap why do so many people hate or dislike 8 1/2?

Wasn't sure if I posted on this or not, but I did. I want to recant on 2001, which I was very moved by a couple of months ago.

still need to see a few of these but would have voted some like it hot.

btw l'avventura voters suck

Dolce vita, La

Scouse movie?
