"If you think your favorite film is one of the best one-hundred of all time, yet it appears not on my own Top 100 Films of All Time list (which I will shortly unveil), I am sorry to have to break you the news, but... your film (Magnolia, Titanic, Goodfellas, American Beauty, Forrest Gump, A Clockwork Orange, et cetera) is, quite simply, not as good as The Road Home (#100).It's also pleasingly idiosyncratic. Lots of Anime and European film with Before Sunrise appearing at #7 and the largely forgotten Snow Falling on Cedars in the top five. The design of the site is worth a look as well. Who knew you could do that in Blogger?
And that is that.
There is no use arguing the matter because you are wrong and should accept that you do not know what you are talking about. So stop complaining and leave this to the professionals -- yes, I was once paid twenty-five dollars for my review of Beautiful Girls and that indeed makes me a professional.
'And that is that.'
Film It's becoming thoroughly redundant posting links to top 100 lists of anything by newspapers and magazines. They're either polls by a very narrow readership or bunch of journalists throwing together something which they think that readership will agree should be in the list. But on this occasion I'm making an exception. Dane's top 100 films is inspirational. To quote from the introduction:
Hey there pally, thanks for noticing. Thanks more for thinking it had some sort of nutty merit to it. How'd you hear about the list?
ReplyDeletep.s. as a happy coincidence, the Listless banner atop your page featured Jesse and Celine from Waking Life. I could imagine no better introduction to your site.
Hello. I have feed of any film tagged posts which pass through Delicious and you were linked in there. Just a great thing.
