The 10 Greatest Films of All Time

The 10 Greatest Films of All Time Moviewise 48.6K subscribers Subscribe 5.9K Share Download Thanks Clip 412,692 views Jan 14, 2023 If I had to send my very own list for the Sight and Sound poll of the Greatest Films of All Time, this is the list I'd make! This week at least. These 10 films represent the best that movies can be, they are the audiovisual language's greatest achievement. Perfect screenplays with perfect characters, plots and dialogue (I'm into dialogue) and perfect direction with perfect framing, staging and camerawork (I'm into depth). A film can't make the list without a perfect combination of narrative and style and every film here (including the honorable mentions in the end) does it sublimely. And that combination is not casual, since these are difficult screenplays with difficult directing to match. And all these films contain some element of risk. No great film can be made without risk. A film might risk being stagy, pretentious, long, confusing, silly or many other failures, but, with the right visuals, the right narrative and the right cast, that risk pays off and the result is a masterpiece. In chronological order. 00:00 The 10 Greatest Films of All Time 00:57 1 02:51 2 05:17 3 07:29 4 09:31 5 13:20 6 15:51 7 18:48 8 21:08 9 23:08 10 25:19 Honorable Mentions Danse Macabre by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Throughout my life I loved and enjoyed the cinema. In these later years, I have been able to view great productions I missed earlier in life. As a common average person, I am grateful to be the recipient of the talent of the great ones. That said, I do wish the great ones I admired so much (they are all dead, now) can stand tall before our Intelligent Creator. My experience, in my lifetime, tells me that too many will not. Time passes so quickly. 107 Reply 10 replies @bhami 1 year ago All the comments here are interesting, but nobody bothered to list Moviewise's titles for quick reference!: 00:00 The Ten Greatest Films of All Time 00:57 1 The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir, 1939) 02:51 2 Sunset Blvd. (Billy Wilder, 1950) 05:17 3 The Bridge on the River Kwai (David Lean, 1957) 07:29 4 The Big Country (William Wyler, 1958) 09:31 5 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

If it weren’t for your video I probably would have ignored it, but I’m so glad that I decided to go with a friend. It was an absolute blast, brilliant film. 140 Reply Moviewise · 13 replies @JohnJohnson-du7vc 1 year ago I detect a touch of the melodramaphile. Pleasantly surprised to see The Big Country.

Some great films here, particularly "Lawrence of Arabia", "Citizen Kane", "Vertigo". 40 Reply 1 reply @bloggystyle 1 year ago One of the best courses I ever took in college was genres and modes of comedy. We began with the Greeks-Lysistrata, examined the comic archetype of the weak character who through wit and flexibility bests the stronger rigid adversary. We went on to Ben Jonson, Shakespeare (focus on Falstaff), Moliere. The beauty of the course was how beautifully “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf”, a play I would not have thought to be a comedy, is in fact a classic one. 28 Reply Moviewise · 2 replies @Seth_M-T 1 year ago Here are mine, in order of release date: Rear Window (1954) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) The Godfather (1972) Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Raging Bull (1980) Fargo (1996) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Mulholland Drive (2001) There Will Be Blood (2007) Parasite (2019) 20 Reply 4 replies @wingflanagan 1 year ago Glad Unforgiven made it in there somewhere. "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it" may be my favorite line in all of cinema.

I don't agree with your every choice, or the films that should have but didn't make your list. But again, your commentary was very interesting. Cheers! 2 Reply @DorimantHeathen 1 year ago (edited) I'm surprised you included only as memorable mention what I thought was a favourite of yours, an rightfully so: "All about Eve", perfect screenplay perfectly delivered by perfect cast. 31 Reply 2 replies @drankin_barry6005 1 year ago Great selections. There’s a few on here I plan on viewing again. Thank you kindly for your insight! 3 Reply @andrewpereira9271 1 year ago Thanks for including "Who's Afraid of VW" . . . that movie just doesn't seem to get the credit it's due. Glengarry Glen Ross is another one in which the playwright's dialogue absolutely sparkles, especially coming from such great actors in both movies. 19 Reply @MrGadfly772 1 year ago A very good list. I'm so glad you included The Big Country it's an unsung classic too often forgotten. 7 Reply @delosreyesgino 1 year ago Akira Kurosawa didn't even sniff the Top 10? As good as A Fish Called Wanda is, is it really better than Rashomon, Ran, High and Low and Seven Samurai? 42 Reply @jlovebirch 1 year ago I'd add Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Beauty and the Beast (1946), Orpheus (1949), Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, et al. 20 Reply 9 replies @johnnzboy 1 year ago I've watched "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover numerous times but never noticed in those gorgeous tableaux that all four of them are in the shot. Thank you for increasing my appreciation of that film even more. A superlative list and a peerless paean to cinematic excellence. 25 Reply 3 replies @yvorfalcon3025 1 year ago Dude, I just subscribed, not only because your content, but it seems the comments are high quality also. 1 Reply @brianmacgabhann5630 1 year ago (edited) I love The Big Country for it's subtlety. My absolute favourite scene is when Charlton Heston reluctantly follows the Major into Blanco Canyon. The Major never looks behind him as Heston rides up; he's going on whether alone or not. But Heston glances behind when the rest of the crew come galloping up, and then glances at the Major; who is still looking rigidly ahead, now with a wry smile. You can see Heston thinking: "There'll be no fucking living with him now"! 29 Reply Moviewise · 6 replies @emitindustries8304 10 months ago Absolutely a great list and video. Thank you! 2 Reply @askarsfan2011 1 year ago I just watched Sunset Blvd on your recommendation. Hollywood just doesn't make movies like that anymore. Of course, people don't think, talk, or live like that anymore. Today a movie like this would have been slammed with accusations of exploiting mental illness for entertainment. And the accusers wouldn't get the movie at all. They would only care about checking off an offense box. 23 Reply 2 replies @JustinHerfel 1 year ago Keep making videos. Your content is really great! 2 Reply @James7977-ge3oi 1 year ago Godfather I; Godfather II; The Quiet Man; Good Fellas; The Searchers; Apollo 13; Casablanca; A Few Good Men; Shawshank Redemption; The Best Years of Our Lives; 15 Reply 5 replies @glenniekiwi 10 months ago Obviously all lists are subjective...but i wonder why "on the waterfront " is never mentioned....a great director and one of the greatest lines delivered ever.....IMO. 3 Reply @davidmullineaux6157 10 months ago A Fish Called Wanda? Stop using drugs. 5 Reply 1 reply @ly776 3 months ago Wonderful presentation of your list. Of course, there is no answer to the ten best movies of all time.

Get a lot of work ahead of me this weekend. Thanks for sharing these masterpieces with the commoners ^_^ 7 Reply @hagerty1952 1 year ago A great list, a significant number of which I own! But there's one, "The Big Country," that I have a closer connection to. For almost 20 years, our rocket club has been launching at the ranch where most of the movie was shot. In fact, our launch field is even seen in the film. And in fact, in fact, you even included that shot in this video! It's the large flat area behind Gregory Peck at 8:56, bounded by the bluff partially hidden by him, the meandering creek and the two oak trees. Those trees are the only ones in nearly 1,000 acres. 10 Reply @GregJamesMusic 1 year ago My favorites, in chronological order: 1. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 2. Casablanca (1942) 3. The Apartment (1960) 4. A Man for All Seasons (1966) 5. Henry V (1989) 6. Goodfellas (1990) 7. Beauty and the Beast (1991) 8. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 9. Chicago (2002) 10. Nightcrawler (2014) 6 Reply @51Dss 10 months ago You put the best, greatest, most perfect movie of all time in the honorable mentions - Dr Strangelove...or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.. This move had everything. Satirical humor, great acting, great directing, great writing, great character development, great special effects, great script and dialog, bawdy humor, gallows humor, great filmography, amazing use of Black and White, Great score, great costumes...I dunno; maybe I love this movie because I'm a baby boomer who grew up during the height of the cold war and I remember events like JFK, MLK, RFK, Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, Sputnik, Frances Gary Powers, Race riots, Kent State, Oswald, Jack Ruby, Marilyn Monroe, Backyard bomb shelters, Vietnam, Napalm, Mai Lai, Tet...one fearful and worrisome event after another all while living under a constant fear of global nuclear annihilation. The storyline of Dr Strangelove was more than merely a plausible what if. Maybe thats why I always considered it to be the greatest film of all time.. 10 Reply 1 reply @FDR_progressive_liberal 10 months ago I would include "The Passion of Joan of Arc" in here. I've never seen another movie filmed entirely in closeup. I was immersed and mesmerized. 8 Reply @daviddelaney363 10 months ago Awesome review.

Thank goodness, someone chooses great films, contemporary films , well-structured and especially foreign films, as you do, instead of the usual Citizen Kane, The Godfather (both 1 and 2) and Casablanca.

Not because I agree or disagree with it, and I find a top 10 or top 100 pointless and impossible, but they are fun watch or read. I like your list because it has 3-4 movies that people do not usually have in their top 10, and that made it fresh and interesting. 1 Reply 1 reply @TwoBs 1 year ago Your taste in movies is impeccable. Tack on your sense of humor and good editing … I’m hooked. Been going through your uploads, watching all of your videos and taking notes on what movies to check out soon. 4 Reply 2 replies @timjansen7694 10 months ago It looks to me like a case of overthinking the video's title. I would argue that the #1 film of all time is not obvious because when it emotionally moved each of us for the first time, (and I do mean each of us ) we were children. That film would be The Wizard of Oz . Once you get by that film, it gets tricky. E.T. ? West Side Story ? Titanic ? 2 Reply 1 reply @bjones8470 1 year ago (edited) A little while ago I did a deep dive into movies that are called “classics” On The Waterfront, Public Enemy, Streetcar Named Desire, Citizen Kane and another 6-8 films including as well as about 4 Hitchcock movies. Another one of them was Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolfe and it was my favorite of them all followed closely by Streetcar. Just great performances all around. A Fish Called Wanda and The January Man made me a fan of Kevin Kline for life. 24 Reply 5 replies @carrdoug99 5 months ago This is an AMAZING list.

I saw it when I was still a child. I couldn't believe people could be that cruel to each other. 16 Reply 5 replies @OuterGalaxyLounge 1 year ago (edited) For a split second when you flashed Jeanne Dielman I thought, "No, he didn't" and then immediately before the reveal I knew you were punking. Haha. I just subbed to the channel based on a couple of vids I just watched and am enjoying this one. I don't have a list because I usually can't remember it. But it would be something like: The Red Shoes, La règle du jeu, The Seven Samurai, Eyes Wide Shut, Giants & Toys, All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), and after that I can't remember, as I've watched films seriously since the late '70s and hit the arthouses back in my younger days and saw all the classics. You're probably too young to have seen A Fish Called Wanda when it came out, but I was there when it premiered and that audience laughed harder than any I've ever heard, apart from maybe Airplane (1980), which I also saw on first run. I'm now going to brag that I saw Casablanca twice at an old cinema in the 1990s, packed house both times, and thunderous applause at the end when Claude Rains says " Round up the usual suspects." Those were the days. 2 Reply @51Dss 11 months ago Dr Strangelove is the best movie ever made - It has the very best of everything: Writing, Directing, Casting, Acting, Script writing, Costume design, Set design, Cinematography, Film media (Black and White), Every role was perfectly cast and every actor played his/her part to perfection. Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, George C Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenyn Wynn... Although I beileve Dr Strangelove stands the test of time it is possible that in order to truly appreciate this film the viewer would have had do have lived during the cold war. I do not know what awards this movie was granted but it could have been nominated and won as best comedy, best drama, best writing, directing... 4 Reply 1 reply @RobertDeMartin 1 month ago I offer this: 'Splendor In The Grass' featuring Natalie Wood and a new leading actor, Shirley McClaine's brother, Warren Beatty. The supporting cast was sensational led by Pat Hingle. A story of a love between two young people who were unsure of how to deal with all the pro's and con's of a close relationship and without the approval of their parents. Many ebbs and flows and the movie can relate even to today's young people. A classic movie particularly for all young people to watch, messages which vary and touch everyone's senses to such a degree of uncertainty it leaves plenty of room for a viewer to come away with mixed emotions but with an understanding that lingering in a pool of doubt is not the way to face life.

He did not let himself be challenged like a small boy. When he saw a challenge, he proved it to himself. Like with the horse they wanted to get him on.

Apocalypse Now (1979) Redux in particular. The movie that made me perk up and actually take an interest in movies and how they’re made, and what movies can be. Every frame is about perfect (and Hearts of Darkness (which I’ve watched just as many times) is great, too). 2. Magnolia (1999) Honestly, I’m kinda miffed “Save Me” lost best song at the oscars to fucken Tarzan. 3. Fight Club (1999) Fincher took Palahnuik’s juvenile novel (big fan of Palahniuk here, but he’s written much better books) and made it into something effortlessly great. The most based choice on this list, I know, but also the most rewatchable. 4. Wings of Desire (1987) One of a few movies I would call pretty much perfect, and the most evocative. 5. Solaris (1972) 2001 came first, but, great as 2001 is, Solaris taps into something completely devoid in its Western counterpart I can never quite grasp. 6. Kings of the Road (1976) A black-n-white, three-hour road movie as these two strangers bum around 70’s-era West Germany. Wistful, nostalgic. Pure mood. 7. Inglourious Basterds (2009) “Utivich, I think this might just be my masterpiece”. 8. Blade Runner (1982) Douglas Trumball’s effects, still fantastic to this day. A great score from Vangelis. And of course, Rutger Hauer’s “tears in the rain” speech, one of the greatest monologues in movie history. 9. Landscape in the Mist (1988) I have a thing for sad, wistful road trip movies, Huh? 10. Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) I must’ve watched this movie 4 times in one year, or just over a year. Another pure mood, 70’s-era time capsule. A laid-back road trip fronting as though it were a dude racing movie. A counter-culture moment that captures the zen of the open road. H.M. Alphaville (1965) Moonrise Kingdom (2012) The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Clerks (1994) Trainspotting (1995) And way too many others. 6 Reply 1 reply @kuroshthegreat8073 1 year ago (edited) In no particular order : 1. 2001 a Space odyssey 2.

When he looks up at the window, knowing his wife is with another man, that HE orchestrated, to keep her satisfied, and begins to cry...he captures completely, an act of love and pain. 1 Reply 1 reply @johnnyb4187 9 months ago I''ve seen 'Virginia Woolfe' several times over the years. It's intense and never an easy watch. I grew up during a time when Taylor was mostly tabloid fodder and perfume peddler. Every time I see her in this I'm blown away. It's a great movie for the whole cast and everything else, but she's always the standout. 1 Reply @larsnilsson8949 3 months ago This is my list, but to pick only ten movies, rather difficult, there are several more to choose, but those mentioned are the movies I would choose here. Other movies are of course, Serpico, Papillon, Godfellas, Dog day afternoon, The Exorcist, Modern times, Citizen Kane, Frances, Under the Volcano, A Streetcar named Desire, The Guns of Navarone, Lawrence of Arabia, A Passage to India, Fitzcarraldo. 10.

Due to time, opportunity/money, life in general I have not watched enough films to become a good critic or analyst. The Quiet Man is just a remake of Taming of the Shrew & Ford over romanticizes Ireland, with 2 jolly fellows being in the IRA 🙄. That said it is a fun watch. Overrated films for me are: The Searchers, Shane, The Godfather(all 3), to name but a few. As for Peter Greenaway also see The Draughtsman's Contract & Drowning by Numbers. David Lean's Great Expectations and The Sound Barrier are worth a watch. Favourites of mine, in no particular order: The Train & Ronin by John Frankenheimer Blazing Saddles ( has to be the best western) but for purists The Gunfighter 3:10 to Yuma (original) Bad Day at Black Rock Alien Kind Hearts & Coronets The 39 Steps (Hitchcock) The Big Lebowski Airplane Forbidden Planet And to make it a Baker's dozen, Groundhog Day 1 Reply @olavirannisto3552 8 months ago My list: 1.

I believe they are 2 absolutely perfect films! Thanks again! Reply @gumbycat5226 2 months ago When compiling a list like this, my recommendation is to be super-clear about criteria. I elevate story-telling about just about every other thing - it should all be in the service of the story. Hwoard Ashman, one of my 2 heroes, got this, and the result was cinema history: the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast. From your list, I would choose Les Règles, Who's Afraid, Bridge, Hamlet and maybe Sunset (although Apartment or even Ace in the Hole seems more relevant - a story worth telling). But I would have The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Cabaret, Rear Window (or, I like it more, the 39 Steps), City Lights, Giant, Amadeus, Shining. Barry Lyndon illustrates an important point - it is even more visually sumptuous than The Cook... but is it really a story worth telling? You had me on board up to Who's Afraid, except the choice of The Big Country over Giant. But once we got to Once Upon A Time In The West over The Good, The Bad and the Ugly... well I never. The Good... is the epitome of a) cinematography b) scoring c) story-telling d) epic e) charisma f) dark comedy... and these are just the obvious ones. The movie gets better as it proceeds, until that magnificent scene in the prison camp after which it is fully unbeatable for the rest of its runtime. Hamlet is excellence in cinema. Here in Melbourne we have a 1936 movie house, The Astor, that used to be privately owned and had one of the last, if not the last, 70mm copy. They used to show it regularly. It was to die for. Where is Amadeus in your list? Reply @jazpertube 11 months ago your impression of Herzog is impressive 1 Reply @martindice5424 1 year ago Also - Kubrick only got an ‘honourable’ mention? Really? Dear Lord… Great presentations and - for the most part - your taste is admirable . Missing Kubrick is, I fear inexcusable. 2001? The Shining? Barry Linden? Full Metal Jacket?

The king asks should it be as melancholy or as manic and is assured always the manic. Chaplin then proves that he could act with his voice as well as his face and body. Plus, for Carry On film fans this has one of the earliest appearances of Sid James. Citizen Kane is still my top film, others in my list that to me are perfect are The Magnificent 7 (should be Seven Samurai but knowing the actors more I care about their deaths more), Singing in the Rain, Groundhog Day (the easiest to follow movie about life's purpose) and Kind Hearts and Coronets (one of the blackest comedies of all time). 1 Reply 2 replies @tudorm6838 1 year ago In no particular order, my top 20+: Citizen Kane Once Upon a Time in the West JFK Dr. Strangelove The Candidate (1972) Casablanca The Third Man 2001: A Space Odyssey The Good, The Bad and The Ugly The Great Dictator The Conversation In The Heat Of the Night The Hurt Locker Andrei Rublev 1492 Ostrov Havoc in Heaven The train has stopped (Ostanovilsya poyezd) The Red Snowball Tree (Russian: Калина красная, romanized: Kalina krasnaya) Dead Poets Society Modern Times Then I Sentenced Them All to Death(1972) The violinists (Lăutarii - by Emil Loteanu) The Duellists Z (Costa Gavras) Hamlet (1948) 1 Reply 1 reply @biffstrong1079 3 months ago my list 1.

Reply @bohdan3239 11 months ago Movies are such a personal thing. However the really great ones have such a universal appeal that they draw in the widest of audiences. Here are TEN of my favourites not in any order that I encourage you to see on the Big Screen. 1 HIGH NOON A masterful story of great suspense and tension. The first truly mature story of the Old West. 2 INHERIT THE WIND. An amazing story and a true one about a Court Trial which has Religion pitted against Evolution.A Film that makes you think outside of the box. 3 LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. An incredible true story of historical Geo Politics whose impact can still be felt in the Middle East today.Amazing Panoramic Scope and Scenery. 4 DOCTOR ZHIVAGO The Greatest Love Story I have ever seen. Set amongst the tumultuous background of the Russian Revolution. Heart warming gut wrenching moments of emotions and tenderness. 5 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY . A Scinence Fiction Masterpiece so far ahead of its time that it stood the Film Industry on its head. Incredible Technical Innovation masterfully displayed on the Big Screen. 6 WATERLOO An Epic Story of the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon at his most vulnerable set in the rich grandiose period of the 18th Century. Immense Panorama and Scope unrivalled even today. 7. GODFATHER PT2. The Greatest Mafia Crime Story ever made.Two interwoven stories set in different generations.An immensely wonderful production. 8 CHINATOWN The greatest modern day detective story ever made. A suspenseful, spine tingling thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Set in 1930,s Los Angeles. 9. THE NAME OF THE ROSE. A masterpiece detective story set in Medieval times amongst a background of Religion and Geo Politics. Beautifully crafted story of thrilling twists and turns until the very end. 10 UNFORGIVEN.

And I should also add Groundhog day, Taxi Diver, Godfather II, Pulp Fiction, I, Daniel Blake, Texas chainsaw massacre, La Notte, The seventh seal, Matrix, The good, the bad and the ugly, Secrets & lies, and around 30 films more. 1 Reply @Hanamy7777 9 months ago 1.

Reply @fromchomleystreet 1 year ago (edited) John Ford composes some beautiful shots, for sure, and is an unquestionably talented filmmaker. That said, he somehow managed to miss out on fully grasping some of the basics of continuity editing that most classical filmmakers master on day one. I’m always surprised by how often he “crosses the line” in perfectly simple and straight-forward shot-reverse-shot dialogue scenes, without any conceivable artistic justification. If he were some sort of avant garde, post-modern film maker, you might chalk it up to a wanton flouting of the “rules”. But in the case of Ford, an otherwise stalwart pillar of classical Hollywood filmmaking, the only logical conclusion is that he just never really learned that the 180 degree rule was a “thing”, like his contemporaries did. 2 Reply 1 reply @paul-u2y9y 8 months ago (edited) Honorable mentions, The Death of Stalin Local Hero, The Wizard of Oz Out of the past A hard days night Reply @arnaldotanta3630 9 months ago The seven samurai, citizen kane , the grapes of wrath, some like it hot, rebecca , the whuthering heights, how green was my valley ( first version) all of them could be here Reply @bbcisrubbish 9 months ago My three favourite films are "Radio Days", "Hobson's Choice" and "Maltese Falcon".

I have to say that some movies have stuck in my mind ever since I first saw them, and some of them are not able to compete as best movies on any list I guess. Some are just impactful. My best movies list would certainly include The Third Man, Once Upon a Time in the West, Seven Samurai, Amadeus, and A Roman Holiday (might not be the best movie, but I saw it not that long ago - having put it off for ages - and was stunned by Audrey Hepburn's performance) to name but a few, but looking at the comments here, I could easily include most of what I see in my list too. Some movies I thought great before I have since seen again and recognize how flat they fall as what I once thought was clever now isn't. Some I see again and get transported back into it at once. Those are classics to me. I also love Princess Bride, Goonies, Blackhawk Down, LOTR 1-3 and more, but I guess those are just movies that speak to me in some manner. They might not be for the purist, but they sure engage me. 1 Reply @mohamadgharani3848 5 months ago I always enjoy and laughter by watching "the Kid" of chaplin ... although not very good to be in top ten but can't believe is made almost 90 years ago Reply @truthseeker7250 1 year ago then the searchers john wayne 1 Reply @PhilMcCrackin-f3n 9 months ago (edited) Casablanca would have to be on mine.. ditto the Wizard of Oz...

Ive seen most of the movies on your list and its hard to argue with it in many ways.. they are great films. ; ] Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid gets my nod as best of all time, but different folks for different strokes ; ] Platoon, Black Hawk Down, the Longest Day get the gong for best war movies ; ] Bridges of Toko Ri could also make my cut. The first Star Wars and Indiana Jones would also be in my top ten.... as would the third in each franchise, however the second installment in both series werent that great IMO. And JAWs.. .

La Regle du jue, the idea of this film, has predicted what must be the way that many of the teenagers of today, actually act and think: everyone else, including the government is corrupt and lie, so why don't we do the same. No pride in themselves, no self care or caring for others, they simple see or look for an opportunity to steal or take, in every instance. My top 10 list: would definitely include Bladerunner, ahead of it's time, cannot be matched even today for atmosphere and the lead performances are brilliant. Sunrise: A song of two humans, must be on the list. The Pianist by Polanski. Gone with the Wind has to be on any list, epic, could not be made today without using CGI and they certainly found their Scarlet in Vivian Leigh, she was worth waiting for after all those auditions to find her.

Reply 1 reply @petertromp8786 1 year ago There isn't ONE Luis Buñuel movie in the Top 150. Let that sink in. Yet a surface level fraud like Paul Thomas Anderson sneaks in at number 122. I think the reason is because Buñuel was not a self-consciously great filmmaker - he might not even have taken film seriously as a medium, a cardinal sin - yet he developed one of the most recognizable styles and feels regardless. At least Mulholland Drive makes it into the Top 10, but somehow, inexplicably, In the Mood for Love is above it. It is a very welcome surprise that In the Mood for Love is in the Top 10, don't get me wrong, but Mulholland Drive is orders of magnitude better and has infinitely more depth. 1 Reply @darioscomicschool1111 1 year ago (edited) Number 6!

You can easily pick ten fantastic great films and leave another fifty equally worthy films on the sidelines. I suppose one factor that makes a great film is how many times have you watched it again and again to the point you can almost run the screenplay in your head by memory although that is not always the case as I rewatch certain films such as the Fifth Element and XXX as guilty pulp pleasures.

I feel that it does a ton of little things right in its directing, acting and writing. I mean, two dollars wouldn't buy 48 hours of your time, fair enough, but every time I watch that movie it strikes me how tightly paced it is. It gets disregarded as mediocre, derivative family film fluff, but I think there's true excellence in there. To whet your whistle, get this: There's a scene where a character hangs up a phone, and it brilliantly sets up the tone of the next several minutes of the film.

Bronson is a charisma sink, Fonda is miscast, and Robards is...fine, but no Wallach. - Once's humor is corny and lacks the edge of GBU. "When you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!" is funny. Shooting a guy with a boot (for no reason) is dad joke garbage. - The soundtrack of Once is hokey and cliche, The soundtrack of GBU is the greatest of all time. - Too many pacing problems and plotholes. - The opening scene of Once is a pale, weak imitation that sabotages the rest of the movie. It screams "Bronson is dollar store Eastwood". Truth ion advertising I guess.

Mike Nichols was great at directing Virginia Wolf, but Catch-22 was perfect, and Wag the Dog were both better movies. Bridge on the River Kwai was great, but Apocalypse Now was better and may be one of the best movies ever made. The Big Country and Once Upon A Time in the West were okay, (give an honorable mention to Charlton Heston for best self-entitled asshole). Shane and The Wild Bunch were better movies, and Dr. Strangelove is in a class all by itself. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the beginning and ending of an art form in one movie. Oh yeah, I don’t know if JFK was the best movie ever made, but I’m pretty sure it was the greatest. I don’t know where Casablanca should go, but I’m pretty sure it’s in there somewhere.

Aaaaaaaaaaall anyone can ever attempt is, perhaps, a list of the 10 best ever epics, the 10 best musicals, the 10 best dramas, the 10 best comedies, horror, sci-fi, sci-fi horror and on and on... of all time Speaking of which, horror, sci-fi, sci-fi horror, and many other genres are glaring by their absence on your list NOOOOOO list of the "best" movies of aaaaaaaaaaall time can pass muster, is worth its salt, has any meaning, if it does not include AT LEAST a film by Antonioni, a film by Kurosawa, a film by Bergman, a film by DeSica, a film by Ozu, a film by so many others These lists are a joke told by attention-seekers, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING But they do their job in drawing attention to films that many may not have seen, much less ever even heard about and creating buzz and controversy. NO ONE is ever going to agree on a list of the 10 best films of All time.

Reply @mwshaw640 1 year ago I’ve been enjoying your channel and you have some good selections on this list. But I was certain you were joking with your selection of Branagh’s Hamlet. Apparently you were serious. I have to strongly disagree that this is a great film. The major merit is the uncut text and the acting of Jacobi and Winslet. Other than that the stunt casting is distracting and several performances are just god awful. The Napoleonic setting was chosen for its spectacle (and I’m guessing that’s something you liked) but I felt it was jarring and distracting. It didn’t serve the story for me. As for Branagh, he puts the ham in Hamlet. He acts every scene with great drama but with no through line to the whole of the character. It’s as if he’s thinking “what can I do to make this dramatic instead of what can I do to illuminate the character.” And the speech you highlighted, “How all occasions…” - that caused me to laugh at loud in the cinema. Such an incredible example of ham acting and grandstanding with the staging. He kept getting louder and more ridiculous as the scene went on. There are too many flaws (in my opinion) for this to be considered a great film and Branagh himself is the main reason. If you wanted to represent a film with Shakespeare, Welles “Chimes at Midnight” or even his “Othello” would have been worthy choices. Branagh has been trying to be Olivier (see his ludicrous killing of the king here) and failing for his entire career. Although they are not uncut productions, there are far superior performances of Hamlet on film, Nicol Williamson, Olivier, and even Mel Gibson. If you want great uncut Hamlets there are videotaped versions (Jacobs’s Hamlet is a good one). You can’t have a great Hamlet film with a HAMlet like Branagh. But again, let me state that almost always, I’m quite enjoying your insights on movies.
