sight & sound & fury part 2.

In rebuttal to the Sight and Sounds poll, I am pleased to present to you my list of the best films of all time. You'll find it (refreshingly) scoured clean of all traces of Ozu, Tarkovsky, Antonioni, and Truffaut. It's also one of the few best film lists brave enough to ignore to existence of Bicycle Thieves altogether. 

There are some films on my list that wouldn't even be considered good by prevailing critical opinion, let alone great. (The Brown Bunny and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me come to mind. Remember when Roger Ebert famously declared that The Brown Bunny was the worst film ever screened at Cannes? This from a man who gave four stars to Prometheus—so that's sayin' something. If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Vincent Gallo then wish—out loud—that Ebert would die? If you've seen Ebert lately, you know that he's still—technically speaking—alive, but I'd still think twice before giving Gallo a bad review in the future.)

Keep in mind that this list is accurate only as of this very moment. Now that I am typing this next sentence, it is no longer accurate. But I can reassure those of you who may doubt the resolve of these opinions that my top ten has remained relatively stable since Mulholland Dr. was released in 2001. I can't really say enough about Mulholland Dr. It has everything I'm looking for in a movie—surrealism, mystery, suspense, profound truth, midgets, boobies... And the love story between Betty/Diane (Naomi Watts) and Rita/Camilla (Laura Elena Harring) is certainly the most moving (and horrifying) that I'm aware of. I think people tend to lose sight of this amid all the Lynchian trappings—the creepy bum behind the dumpster, the Cowboy, Ann Miller, the tiny elderly couple scurrying out of a brown paper bag, etc. 

I was surprised to discover that I actually have ten films in common with the Sight and Sound list. I was equally surprised that Luis Bunuel, John Cassavetes, and Powell & Pressburger were completely ignored by that list. And what about Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast and D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation? I thought every film critic on earth had a big throbbing hard-on for those films. (Incidentally, neither one appears on my list either.)

  1. Finally! At least one other person who appreciates what a tour de force Brian DePalma's 1980 "Blow Out" ("Blowout"? I thought it was one word) was. This, too, would be on my top 50.

    I'm disappointed to not see Rashomon here, but the inclusion of Ikiru (which might be my #1, I haven't decided yet) almost makes up for it.

    Have you seen Kaneto Shindo's 1964 "Onibaba"? That is another contender for my #1.

    1. I have seen Onibaba. I think it's one of the creepiest and most disturbing movies around. (Ditto for Kwaidan. Have you seen that?) Onibaba almost unsettles me so much that I can't completely give in and 'enjoy' it... You know what I mean?

      I like Rashomon, but I think its greatness lies more in its concept than its narrative. I remember I had to watch it in a college philosophy class—so maybe that affected my feelings about it. I'd rather watch Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, or even Red Beard.

      Yes, I absolutely love Blow Out.

    2. I know what you mean about the creepiness, but that's part of it for me.. that a movie can inspire such deep-rooted unease. It's a great film. I don't hold the darkness of the story against it.

    3. I don't hold it against it! You're making me sound like a bigot! I do like it—it's just not on my top 50 list.

      Speaking of which—where's your list, Velocitor?

      Delete
    4. Oh, I didn't think I was making you sound like a bigot. Sorry 'bout that.

      I'll make a list, but I don't know if I can really defend my choices that well. It's hard for me to seperate just liking the story being told, vs. appreciating the artistry of the filmmaking. Give me a few hours...

    8. Interesting list, Velocitor! There are definitely some surprises.

      I have questions:

      1. You wrote Stanislaw Lem after Solaris—but he's the author of the novel, right? Did you mean the Soderbergh or Tarkovsky film version?

      2. Can you elaborate on why Beneath the Planet of the Apes is one of your favorites. What does this one have that the other Planet of the Apes films don't?

      3. Hoosiers seems like an odd favorite for a guy who doesn't seem to like sports. (This isn't a question. Just an observation.)

      4. You are obviously a big fan of Japanese cinema. Have you seen: Samurai Rebellion? Kwaidan? Devils at the Doorstep (which I actually thing is a Chinese-Japanese co-production)? All About Lily Chou-Chou? (If not, I recommend all of these.)

      5. RE: Romeo + Juliet. You are a total weirdo. I mean that in a good way.

      Delete
    9. Also, was it Mickey Rooney's performance that won you over in Breakfast at Tiffany's?

      (I just realized that Being John Malkovich should probably be on my list...)

      Delete
    10. 1. Ugh! I'm so embarrassed, I was trying to indicate the Tarkovsky film. I guess one Russian name was as good as another, just not the Soderbergh film.

      2. Beneath the Planet of the Apes was an amazing movie to me, but maybe just because I saw it at the right age. I liked Planet of the Apes, and the big reveal at the end WAS a sucker punch, but looking at the movie overall... but for the fact that the villains were apes, it was basically just a story of a stranger who stumbles into a hostile land. WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! It gets a lot more interesting in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, where Taylor now knows he's in a post-apocalyptic Earth, and struggles with the implications of what that means about humanity. What does he do? He rides off in search of a fabled community of remaining humans. He still has faith in humanity. What he finds are mutants paying for the sins of their fathers... an often unconsidered moral hazard of the nuclear politics (author) Pierre Boulle was commenting on, which greatly magnifies the ethical implications of war. Building on that, the mutant humans are not only telepathic, but they are sociopaths. It's the old "war causes us to lose our humanity" message, but with a twist added: "...and never get it back." I found it powerfully disheartening to see the human race, after 88 centuries (by the story's timeline) of recorded history... of learning, progress, prosperity, empire, and community... to end up as diseased mutants scraping out an existance, and living in fear of being enslaved by ape masters. It is a much more powerful storyline, and the movie delivers it quite well, despite some of the hokey early 70's sound effects, etc. It is one of those rare instances where the sequel eclipses the original movie. And I have to say, I LOVED the boldness of the ending, where the author doesn't furnish a feel-good Hollywood conclusion, where all the main characters are going to be just fine and they get together for a chuckle and group hug right before the final fade-to-black. No sireee, instead, Boulle does the unthinkable, detonating the bomb which kills off the last humans, including hero Taylor. It is an even more powerful end than the big "gotcha" concluding the first Planet of the Apes film. Of course, I don't expect everybody to share what I know is a slightly-outside-of-the-mainstream view.

      3. I don't care for sports, so in that respect it is definitely an anomoly, but I thought the story was genuine and uplifting... sweet but not in a schmaltzy (okay, maybe just a little schmaltzy, but within my tolerance limits) way.

      4. I haven't seen any of the ones you mention, but I will look into these recommendations. Thanks!

      5. Ha! I knew I might get some guff for R+J, but the juxtaposition between modern sets and costume, and Shakespearian dialogue was so striking and so well done, it was really wonderful. The movie has obviously been the inspiration for a slew of modern set/Shakespearian dialogue imitators (the Patrick Stewart Soviet Macbeth being the best of these IMHO), but R+J was the first (that I know of) to hit on this formula, and is my personal gold standard against which I measure all other Shakespeare movies (a genre I have abundant fondness for).

    11. Micky Rooney should have been hauled before an international tribunal to answer for his crimes against humanity after that performance, but with age and wisdom, I come to recognize that by giving me occasion to forgive him, the universe has extended to me a rare opportunity to display magnanimity and forbearance of staggering proportion. This is my "in" to Nirvana. (the metaphysical state of being; not the 90's band)

    12. Shit. I forgot about Dead Poets' Society.

  2. Wow, I've seen like 4.3 of those movies. I know we talked about Mulholland Drive and I hope I didn't leave you with the impression that I don't like it. I love it, I just didn't entirely grasp it right away. It was quintessential Lynch, though, and I loved it for that, as well. I still maintain Fire Walk with Me was a huge letdown for me, though.

    Also, being a fan of surrealism, I'm surprised you do not like Kiss of the Spider Woman, which you appeared to make fun of me for on an earlier thread for loving.

    Finally, I will mention John Waters by saying that Divine is FINE in Pink Flamingos, but he/she/it takes the cake in Female Trouble.

    1. I don't remember Kiss of the Spider Woman very well, to be honest. It didn't make much of an impression on me. (And of course! I make fun of you every chance I get!)

      It's always a toss-up between Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble for my favorite John Waters movie, but I think dog-shitting-eating nudges Pink Flamingos ahead.

    The Third Man is my #1, forever and always. I've never seen The Double Life of Veronique, but Blind Chance would be on my list somewhere.

    What offends me most about the Sight and Sound list is their ranking of Metropolis at #35, tied with Satantango. (Even though I haven't seen Satantango, and never will.)

  10. As of this moment, here is my list of the best films of all time (with a few of my personal favorites thrown in - these would probably not make anyone's best films list, but I'm including them anyway).

    Disclaimer: There are three movies on this list that blew my little mind when I saw them in the theater -- The City of Lost Children, Angela, and Exotica. As I have not seen them in years, I have no idea how they withstand the test of time, nor do I want to know. I preserve them in my memory as three of the best.

    Disclaimer II: I could not rank the films in order of preference, so I listed them in alphabetical order. If I were to rank them, Cries and Whispers would be my number one. Other than that, I find it difficult to rank films as both the order and the films themselves change from time to time.

    Disclaimer III: Fuck. All my italics from my Word doc are gone. Oh, well.

    1. Thanks for doing this, Janice! Your list is kind of fascinating to me. My comments/observations:

      1. Gloria is the ONLY Cassavetes movie I dislike! (And I really, really dislike it.) Well, I also dislike Big Trouble, but I don't consider that a REAL Cassavetes film.

      2. I see that you have Doom Generation and Jawbreaker on your list, so I'm just gonna say what I've been thinking since I first saw your picture: You resemble Rose McGowan! (I mean, before she had all that plastic surgery.) I was reluctant to tell you because I didn't know how you felt about her.

      3. Wow. You're a big Billy Wilder fan. I love both The Apartment and Double Indemnity, but I despise Some Like It Hot.

      4. Singin' in the Rain and Weekend were both strong contenders for my list.

  15. These lists make me feel like a total philistine. I have a lot of catching up to do. Someone needs to explain The Searchers to me - I thought it was incredibly boring (granted I saw it in college - maybe I should give it another try). Now I definitely need to see The Brown Bunny - I remember the reviews being pretty divided.

    Have you ever seen The Sweet Hereafter? It is one of my all time favorites. Why I love a movie about children dying in a school bus crash is beyond me, but I find everything in that movie to be perfect.

    1. Oh. I don't know if you should see The Brown Bunny based on my recommendation. You know that it has an actual scene of Chloe Sevigny performing real oral sex on Vincent Gallo, right? And you also know that most of the rest of the film (before said blowjob) is very minimalist, right? It's almost like a lyrical poem. (Also, it's very depressing.) If after hearing all of that, you still want to see it, then by all means. (But you can not sue me for punitive damages.)

      No, I've never seen The Sweet Hereafter. I've heard good things about it though. I'll have to check it out.

      Also: DON'T feel like a philistine. Do your list, T.C.G.! I wanna see it!

      But there is no edit function here. Alas.

    Trish, maybe you could start your list with your top 50 reality shows.:)

    David, Stars of the Lid are huge David Lynch fans, apparently...they have a few David Lynch-themed songs, I believe, including this one:
