Hmmmm, my guess falls in the category of "none of the above."

Hmmmm, my guess falls in the category of "none of the above."
Could be! I've gone over my DVD shelf and my "movies viewed" spreadsheet and the vast majority of the '50s films I've enjoyed are either Japanese or Hitchcock. For the Japanese, pretty much split...
I nominate Ikiru, Kurosawa's finest film.
Watch some Kurosawa. Sure, there are no killer robots or superheroes in search of magic rocks. But there is some great human drama. If only a "few" films from the '60s are "watchable," I'd say...
My all-time favorite MST3K episode was The Day the Earth Froze. The one with the "Sampo." So many great riffs. I had it on VHS and it was a grad school staple for my buddies and me when we wanted...
If I recall, and I'm going from memory here, the director of Manos had a camera that could hold 10 minutes of film at a time. Either he didn't realize he could use less than the full reel for a...
I jotted down about 35, limiting myself to movies I scored 4 - 5 stars out of 5. If I opened it up to 3 - 3.5 stars, I'd have another handful.
Almost all of my top list are Japanese.
I jotted down 83 off the cuff. There are abut 40 that I'm sure would get nominated by any number of people here. I mean, if The Sting, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Omen, and Young Frankenstein don't...
T-Dogz typically waits until the last 3 minutes before a poll closes. He doesn't usually vote for movies based on what he actually prefers (or else he could do that at any time), but what best...
I don't know why I thought it was seconded. I would have seconded it if I had seen it.
How was The Handmaiden?

It's directed by Park Chan-Wook, which is to say, it's nearly...
only because I was away.
Totally. One of the three greatest. As far as bears are concerned.[/QUOTE]
Easily one of the greatest. Among my favorites are (in no particular order): The Seven...
The greatest director of all time is Akira Kurosawa.
Spielberg might win "the most funnest" b/c he does play up for a good time at a Saturday matinee, but I'd bet even he'd tell you he's no...
Some of my favs are the blockbusters that most would have seen (Tarantino, Fury Road, Hereditary, Kingsman, John Wick, Blade Runner, La La Land, etc.). But for some that might fall through the...
106 for me.
Well I really liked The Babadook. The realization that it's all in the mother's head was intriguing and not at all like your typical "monster movie."
However, the film that everyone else seems to...
Ha, that's nothing, I have 300. Plus many many honorable mentions. Can't fit everything into an annual Top 30 list, you know.[/QUOTE]
I've got like...5. Maybe 10 if I push it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think these contests start off with too many movies as it is. No real complaints for the status quo, but certainly don't expand the list!
I have not been a part of the nominating process. I was unaware of the 90s tournament until it was over, and just became aware of the 2000s tournament after noms were completed. So I have no ax to...
