Sight and Sound 2002 Top Films List (The Top 50 List)

Top Films

Most overrated film on the list.
Film in the Top 10 that most deserves to be knocked down a peg or two.
Film that most deserves Top 10 status that doesn't have it.
Film you're most happily surprised to see on the list.
Films you haven't seen.
Films not on the list that should be.

That should keep you busy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

ooooh, I'm going to do this too

Can we make this a thread, and only allow "Lounge" style answers? With at least one coherent thought per movie, not just a list, this could be a pretty good thread.

(Sorry to hijack pryor)

Do you have a good milkshake recipe? I'm really looking for one.

[/ QUOTE ]

actually, i used to work midnight to morning at a diner where we made lots of frappes, which are a kind of milkshake

in a large metal milkshake cup thingy:

3 scoops of chocolate ice cream
1 glass of chocolate milk
1 piece of chocolate cream pie, no crust
a generous helping of chocolate syrup

the key is the piece of pie. there are tons of variations on this, but the pie is the thing.

Does the 'Coffee Break' and 'Bubble and Squeak' threads idea suck or what?

i'm leaning toward yes, but then you probably knew i'd say that

Are you going to post a trip report and/or pics(if you have any) about your recent moose hunt?

In another thread you mentioned you were on a moose hunt.
Please explain, particularly considering your affiliation with the Greens.

[/ QUOTE ]

well, there's some overpopulation problems in Maine with Moose, since all of the Moose's natural predators have been driven north. so, i don't have a problem with the hunting per se, since it fills a natural need. if, in theory, the meat is being used to feed people, then i'm all for it

it was, however, difficult to film the cleaning of the moose after it was shot, and i'm really not sure how i'm going to be able to edit that footage, if you know what i mean.

the short version of the trip report is this:

got up there, did a little bit of filming.

sunday: drove 3 hours north and scouted the area for a couple of hours, then watched the patriots game

monday: woke up at 4.22am, got in the woods at 6.00am, shooting time was 6.13, at 6.19 Dad's phone rang informing him there was a big buck just down the road, so we ran full tilt down the road and they shot him from 200 yards at 6.30. they gutted it, etc (weighed in at 700lbs), and we were back home at 5pm

then, my camera broke and i need to get the gears replaced (basic wear and tear), so i couldn't film all the context stuff i wanted. right now it's all kind of in limbo as to what i'm gonna do.

it doesn't really seem like hunting, though, so i'm sorta worried the footage will make my Dad a villain.

I finally got around to watching Battle Royale. What's your opinion of that movie? Are there other movies in the same genre or made by the same people that I should check out since I liked Battle Royale so much?

[/ QUOTE ]

you're ahead of me. i haven't seen it yet.

[SEABEAST]

Tell us about an underappreciated film era, or "scene", or country, or even just a director, which you believe most people might not know about and thus might have missed out on some really great movies.

I've seen mentions of stuff you can read when you're first getting into film. What are some books I could read to help expand my knowledge about film. In particular, I was wondering if there are books that help you look at things more from a 'critic' perspective as opposed to an "entertainment persepective."

Or is it just a case where books won't do much and experience trumps all?


[/ QUOTE ]

solo,

i'll find some more stuff when i get home, but here's an idea: watch a film that's critically acclaimed that you may or may not "like". jot down some notes. then, read a couple of reviews from the "top" critics (Ebert, et al.) and think about stuff they've brought up. then, watch it again, keeping that in mind. see if you can see what they're talking about. or, try to analyze a few films you really like and really try to digest what exactly it is you like about it.

but, yeah, i'll find some books and stuff for ya later this week.

no no no no no.

VANILLA ice cream, not chocolate. I like the pie thing, though, I'll have to try that.
