wow great list! interesting in that your choices for 20's-40's had many that i also love but we really parted ways after that, lol! still you get major 'awesome chick' points for including Faster Pussycat...Kill!Kill! :)
"Go baby, gooooo!!!!"
That IS interesting! Actually, it's odd-- looking at my choices from 70s onward, I wouldn't really say they're representative of my film taste. They just seemed the most memorable, most striking. Typically, though, they're not really the types of films I'd see in theaters. What are some of your more modern picks?
Glad 'Playing By Heart' made your list.
Your 1950s category was surprisingly short.
No love for 'Rear Window' and 'Dial M for Murder?'
Dial M is one of my favorites, and I thought for a while about including it, but I was already a little Hitchcock heavy, so... ;)
There's nothing wrong with that...in fact, the world would be a much better place if there were more Hitchcock;)
lets see for 70's i would have things like Star Wars, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, The Getaway, Godfather II, High Plains Drifter, Clockwork Orange, the Shootist
for 80's - Raging Bull, Once upon a Time in America, Aliens, Terminator, Predator, Empire Strikes back, Star trek II & III, Blue Velvet
90's - Reservoir Dogs, Goodfellas, T-2, Unforgiven, Pulp Fiction, Bronx Tale, Leon, Shawshank Redemption, Casino, Heat
2000's - Kill Bill 1&2, AVP, Pitch Black, American History X, Revenge of the Sith, Gran Torino, Gladiator...
these are off the top of my head i know i am forgetting some important ones but i think you can see where my taste lies with more modern stuff :)
i agree there can never be too much Hitchcock!!
Ah, so we kind of agree on Tarantino. :)
Question: Did you see/like Taken?
I know you weren't asking me, but I exclude Tarantino from all lists except my list of people who are annoying to listen to. That voice, those mannerism, those...thoughts. No thanks.
I liked Butch's story in Pulp Fiction a lot, but other than that, I thought it was pretty overrated.
Taken was alright, kinda far fetched...haven't seen one man kill so many people since Commando and I believe Arnold killing them way more than Liam. But I love Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen, so I was happy to watch it.
The Professional is still his best in my opinion, but hey, it's your list and what do I know?
Ash-- You should make a list!
Also, don't hate on QT...I usedta hate him as well, for the very same reasons. But I adore Kill Bill. Like, favorite movies ever....in the 2000s. :D
no i havent seen Taken yet, i heard good things about it though and i always enjoy the films that luc besson directed or wrote the story/screenplay for.
QT i liked from day one, i love every one of his films, in varying degrees of course. i actually just finally saw Inglourious Basterds a couple of weeks ago and i totally LOVED it. but no doubt he is one weird dude, lol!
i think i'll put Taken at the top of my netflix queue ;)
Paul- Ditto, completely. I adore Inglourious Basterds (and all of Tarantino's stuff, save Grindhouse, which I haven't seen).
its a lot of fun (in a sick way of course, lol), best thing Kurt Russell ever did imo. and if you're a fan of Vanishing Point (add that to my 70's picks, btw!) you'll get an even bigger kick out of it.
Juliette do you realize this is the most talking you've done here in ages! i'm stunned but pleased ;)
I would make a list, but I don't wanna be a copycat and it probably wouldn't be as good as yours...far more predictable.
I the real reason I don't like Tarantino is that I think Pulp Fiction was more Roger Avary's doing and there are scenes in The Rules of Attraction that support that. To me
Roger Avary's more talented, but because he didn't get as much credit from the start, we'll never see his true potential.
Paul-- I know! Haha, it's good to be back from hiatus. ;)
Cool! I'll check it out then...I like grindhouse theatre. :)
Have you heard-- Darryl Hannah semi-confirmed a Kill Bill 3!
Ash-- Do it, do it! Copycats rock!
Psh, whatevs. The writing for Kill Bill is brilliant, and QT did that. Really, if you do ever get the chance, check 'em out. I never talk about a movie in the way I've talked about the Kill Bills.
Okay...but only because you asked me to.
Alright, maybe I can borrow them from Mike, who I know likes the Kill Bill movies, but by borrow I mean steal, because he's been trying to get me to watch them and I always say "No."
Next time I'm at his house...yoink. Under the radar;)
Yay!-- really?? That's awesome, I'm honored. :D
But now I'm having second thoughts and I'm not sure you'll like 'em, as they're not very realistic...at all. Stylized violence and whatnot. I'm a fan, but whatevs. ;)
Hahaha, I adore the word yoink. Thanks much for the grin!
lol@yoink!
Juliette you be right on the nose, KB sure aint realistic but it never pretends to be for one minute so it's all good, great in fact! its like, i was reading netflix reviews of Basterds and someone was actully picking on its historical inaccuracies, lol!ummmm, hello, it aint a freakin documentary!
Definitely! I love Inglourious Basterds for its inaccuracies because, as you said, it wasn't like he was going to a factual feel. Art can reflect life, improve upon life, revise life, etc. That, to me, is part of what makes it so fab. And IB opens a door for revisionist art. It's terrific.
Well, I'm not a total realist.
I like graphic novels and their adaptations, comic book movies, etc.
Which one movie do you like better, the first or the second?
If you like the first better and I watch it and don't like it, I'll know not to watch the second one;)
ah, yes very well put! and here i as just gonna say it's a big time jew revenge fantasy, lol!
one thing i like about Quentin's films is he breaks and/or simply pays no attention to the usual cinematic storytelling rules. and he's a master of staging dialogue in a scene, one of the few that i feel can come close to Howard Hawks. that opening scene in Basterds is a prime example of what i'm talking about. that's a masterpiece of a scene! but the opening scene of Dogs is another great example.
Ash-- Well in that case I'll say the second. ;P
Haha, only joking-- I generally say the second, but only because it's more back story-- it completes the first. In my head, though, they're not separated. It's one terrific (and long) film, just as QT intended.
i think they're both great in their own ways, and for different reasons!
Paul-- Definitely! That first scene as well as the Shoshana/Landa scene. My God, it was brilliant. Can't believe neither Melanie Laurent nor Diane Krueger were nom'd for supporting actress. Ah well, Christoph Waltz has my vote for S.A....not that they count mine. ;)
Okay. I'll watch 'em.
Also...I'm making my list and I'm into the 70s now, so if I post this thing, you better damn well read it;)
Yay! Lemme know when you're through with it. :D
All done.
you can click on my picture and see my profile for my faves..it never changes.. ;o)
I added pictures but I still like yours better...it might be Lee Pace;)
Oh, is that him?? I need to look him up, then!
Yeah, I think he's so handsome. Like a young Clive Owen.
Unfortunately he's gay and therefore, he wouldn't marry me.
Fun list to read, better yet to listen to Fred singing in the backround.......visions of Ginger/Fred and sugarplums and fairies!
Love your 30s and 40s picks! (although heads up, His Girl Friday is 1940, not 30s :-))
From the 60s onwards they go just waaay off my personal radar, especially the 80s. But then most of my 80s favourites are comedies and The Princess Bride. :-)
Oooh, the book I got it from had it's date as 1939-- but it seems that's the production date, not release. According to IMDb, it was released 18 Jan., 1940. Thanks for the heads up!
Great list! And I'm glad that not all of the items are critically acclaimed - many of my favorite films are not, I'm sure.
I posted my list juliette, take a look when you get a chance :)
i put a link to yours as well, hope you dont mind, after all, its your fault, lol!
Hm, this IS a good idea for a list/post! I should give it a try, also, but I'm always so indecisive about these things.
Lovely blog, Juliette! I'm starting to follow you.
Kisses
Danielle
