The essence of lists like this isn’t the rank of the films or how incensed that we are that our favorite “blah, blah, blah” didn’t make the list, but it is to remind us of the wonderful film making we’ve seen, and nudge us to consider other greats we may have missed. Nice work.

As good a balanced list as I've seen anywhere. Only have one I have yet to watch. (In the Mood For Love). Paths of Glory and La Dolce Vita would be a couple I'd like to add.

I perused through the comments to check out the alleged omissions. We are truly blessed with a ton of great movies to watch. It doesn't make any sense to make a top 30 list. It would make more sense to make an open ended "diamond" standard list curated by let's say 100 international movie afficionados where everybody can suggest a set number of films every year and they are voted in or not in by the experts. Nevertheless, this particular list of top 30 is excellent as I agree with almost all the films I already know (just not with "Wonderful Life") and I immediately will work through the ones I don't know.

Thank you! I feel lucky that I’ve seen 25 of these on your list. But I feel even luckier that there are five films that I have not seen, that I get to treat myself to! 👍🏽

Impressionism was before the 20th century and not religious. Paintings in Pompeii were not all religious. So Baudrillard created a false narrative to make his point.

This seems like a fine list and I've seen 2/3 of these movies but there are 8 movies from the 70's and only 2 from the last 30 years. It seems a little biased, not by the author of the video but perhaps by critics in general. I mean there are 2 movies from 1974 and another 2 from 1975 alone.

Ok, I am not telling you what movies had to be in that list instead of X or Y, because it is not even your list but just a collection of best lists as you mentioned not just once.😊 From these 30 movies (I probably would had done a top-50 list) I only haven’t seen 5 of them and only of one of them I never heard of (Jeanne Dielman). I always wanted to watch Persona and Schindler's List as well as Tokyo Story. Only to Do The Right Thing I fail to connect. Maybe someday …

It'd be interesting if directors only got one spot, so that'd free up 7 additional places for a wider array of films. Maybe get Satoshi Kon, Sergio Leone, The Coens, Kathryn Bigelow, etc. And of course, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.

Oppenheimer and Interstellar are objectively better movies than Then Dark Knight. But I'll admit: Heath Ledger's performance was a masterclass.
@kencoakley8366Күн бұрын
Night Of The Living Dead should be on the list as it was a game changer in all genres of film, not just Horror because this film, along with In Cold Blood, caused the MPAA ratings system, freeing the hands of the filmmakers. Rocky was another game changer, bringing back the underdog story as well as the uplifting ending. In an art form that was pretty nihilistic.

I have seen all of these films. Some of them multiple times. I own copies of at least half of them, probably more. But such lists, whilst being excellent for introducing students and new film enthusiasts to a broad spectrum of classic cinema, cannot account for personal tastes. I think this is important, because we are allowed to say some films are overrated or perennially misunderstood, without being tossed out of the, “club,” so to speak. Personal taste must be allowed and respected in film appreciation. It is in the differences in our tastes that the most interesting discussions occur. And it is in this dialectic cauldron that new and exciting things can be stimulated, producing original ideas that develop the art form.

Singing in the Rain is SUCH a sleeper! I stayed away from it for so long just because I thought it was going to be a boring "fall asleep watching it on your couch on Sunday" kind of move, but it was actually REALLY good. Make sure you put this on your short list of movies to see soon!!

That’s a hard list or even order to argue with. We have a repertory theater here, the only one in Mississippi. We’ve shown all the films on this list except for two or three. Those I’ll propose for consideration this week. I guess my only argument is it’s heavy on the late 20th Century American directors, Scorcese, Spielberg, Coppola, and light on the mid century European filmmakers. But you have Ozu, Kurosawa, and Bergman too.

I know this will make no one's list, but I always loved the Westerns from the early 70s. Little Big Man. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Jeremiah Johnson. I don't know where they would be ranked in terms of technique, but when it comes to storytelling, they turn the John Ford, John Wayne Westerns on their head by not romanticizing the Wild West, but rather, humanizing people who were never humanized before. Characters once portrayed as caricatures are more fleshed out. No one is completely noble or completely evil. I just felt those films reflect a change in cinematic storytelling, where they myths the movies created over decades were shattered, where voices were given to those who never had them before, and where the heroes are deeply flawed.

Media Insider. The method you came up with to perform this Herculean labor was inspired. There was only one film on the list I hadn't seen #22 In the mood for Love, Wong Kai Wai. I didn't expect my own favorite film of all time to appear on ANY list because it's a strange concoction of my personal interests. German Language and Culture, Classical music, Surrealism and Film. It's Hans Jurgen Syberberg's Hitler, ein Film Aus Deutschland. I'd be surprised if it made that master list of yours at all. I was asked in the early 2000s by a fellow film buff to make a top 100 list. I made a general list of my favs which came to around 2000 films. Then whittled it down to a working list of 600. and finally the arbitrary and painful task of honing that down to 100. But the final list could have looked different for so many reasons. I basically did one film from each of my fav directors. This was great fun for me. Thanks for doing the calculations and your elucidating commentary. Is there somewhere one might see the complet list? I'm subscribed and looking forward to more of your content. All the best Jacques Mexico Retired
