Nathan M.
1. Black Narcissus
No film embodies all of the theological concerns that have occupied my mind for the past 15 years like Black Narcissus. Not only is it a thoughtful exploration of the spirit and the flesh, but Black Narcissus is lush (especially on BD), beautifully acted, and damn entertaining.
2. The Searchers
Picking my favorite John Ford movie is an impossible task. My Darling Clementine, How Green Was My Valley, and Wagon Master could all be valid choices for me, but The Searchers it is. It’s a compelling meditation on race, family, and loyalty, among other things. Like Black Narcissus, The Searchers is beautiful to look at and throughly entertaining, and that includes the wedding scenes and all of Ford’s corny humor.
3. E.T.
Though I didn’t grow up fatherless, I did grow up with some pretty mixed feelings about fathers, and like Elliot, I was a pretty lonely kid. E.T. isn’t perfect (I agree with Pauline Kale’s criticisms of the last 3rd of the film), but no film has captured friendship so well for me. It’s also pretty funny. It should be see as part of a double bill with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
4. Forbidden Games
Rene Clement’s movie plays like a dream about death – Christian death. Like Black Narcissus, Forbidden Games does a wonderful job of exploring some of my most central theological concerns – Christian’s attitudes towards each other, the role of death in theology and practical living, and the innocence of a child’s response to all these things.
5. Meet Me in St. Louis
The Technicolor photography alone would almost justify inclusion for me, but Meet Me in St. Louis is so much more. The songs are lovely, the performances are sweet and funny, and though there are moments of sadness I can think of few films that are more happy. it is a love song to the past, and a great one.
6. Zodiac
Pull up a thread on Fincher or Zodiac, and you’re bound to find someone expressing why I love this movie. It took me a couple of viewings to really get into it, but it’s hooked me now. It’s the best police procedural that I can think of, it’s a fascinating look at the analog world, and it is (despite what some what some naysayers claim) a meditation on epistemology. It still amazes me that Fincher was able to pile on so much information with such lucidity.
7. The Passion of Joan of Arc
This is pure cinema. Again, it covers great theological ground that concerns me – true belief, the authority of the church, martyrdom. But more than anything, Dryer’s film is emotionally intense. Those close ups are unmatched in the history of cinema.
8. The Shop Around the Corner
Lubitsch’s film is sweet, funny, and ultimately sexy. It’s not only a great love story, but a hilarious look at how we perceive each other depending on our social context (Facebook, MUBI, real life). Most romantic comedies lack the sweetness that Lubitsch brings. The Shop Around the Corner marks the pinnacle of the genre for me.
9. Badlands
I’ve always found it difficult to explain what attracts me to this film, but my best guess is that it is both poetic and very strange. I always feel that I am watching a dream, which is probably appropriate since Kit and Holly seem to be living inside one at least half the time. It’s sort of terrifying, but thanks to Martin Sheen’s beautifully nuanced performance, it is also funny.
10. The Wild Child
There’s a simple elegance to this Truffaut movie. Appropriately, it has a modulated structure that suggest building blocks to me. It is the difference between men and animals; the ability to process abstract thought. It is a tender film that I think only Truffaut could have made. For the record, it needs a better DVD release.
Ten is a horrible number. A few of these movies are basically locked into position, but this list really could be different on any given day depending on my mood or what I’d seen more recently. I tried to be as honest as possible. It might have been nice to have more diverse choices from world cinema, but I think i would have been cheating myself. This list is definitely personal, and not meant as an objective judgement on what might be the truly greatest movies of all time.

Admittedly, I threw this list together somewhat hastily as interest in the poll built-up steam and as a result, many of these I haven’t seen recently enough to comment significantly and are ordered roughly by preference at this time.
First of all, several of these reveal my weakness for ‘period’ films as I’ve always been interested in the past to one degree or another yet each differs in it’s handling of history or an era. In Gosford, Altman manages to create a tapestry of individuals and events that always emphasizes the collective nature of the setting. Simultaneously, it’s so faithful in capturing a specific time and place, there are moments that move towards the documentary [the servant’s work and habits ultimately are the center of the film,] and preserved as if in amber.
Clementine accepts the era of the Old West but never seems to be self-aware or driven to the obsessive detail of Gosford. It is myth, with Fonda carved in bas relief against the vast expanse of the Western sky. Isolation and mortality exist in every frame and the lack of hateful vengeance on the part of the Earp brothers is reflected in the unfocused pacing of the film, allowing us to reflect on a community. An abstractly-defined and haunting work.
The Dead is a true ‘final’ film in all senses of the term and which is at once one of Huston’s most uncharacteristic films yet a summation of his oeuvre. It may lack the extremes of emotion of his earlier films, but still carries the intimacy between individuals, the unease and doubt. Conroy isn’t Dobbs or Shannon. His previous films and their characters seem to beg the question or dwell on whether to preserve one’s isolated, corrupting interests or to give up one’s self to others. To settle with the former is to be condemned to self-destruction, the latter is finding the ability to move away from these influences. In Conroy, Huston manages to exorcise the demons that haunted his protagonists at last.
Adele H., of what I’ve seen, isn’t Truffaut’s best film but it fascinates me the most so far in it’s depiction of idealized love. Ironically, in reaffirming the truth in which the story is based at beginning and end it only seems to draw our attention away from it [V.H. is never directly seen and, as in Adele’s mind, only heard.] At the same time, it seems to be caught up at points with the lost art of letter writing and Adele seems to devote as much passion and energy into her letters and journal as she does in her pursuit of Albert. It’s awkward, uncomfortable, humorous and tragic. Just as one would expect from meeting such a person in real life.
It seems appropriate to move from Truffaut back to Hitchcock with Suspicion. Lina is a related character to Adele, but unlike her is totally aware of her obsessive devotion and her inability to move on. She is trapped not only by her emotions, but by social convention in her unwillingness to admit Johnny’s faults and possible fear of returning to a ‘spinsterish’ life. The film begins as a provincial romantic comedy. In the transition to her new home [and into the web, so to speak] turns darker. It begs us to ponder how well we can know anyone and how clouded our judgment can become of them.
Describing Wild Grass, perhaps more so than any other Resnais feature I’ve yet seen, is nearly impossible to do as this fever dream of a film moves away from just as it touches upon genres of romance, comedy, thriller and surrealism. Characteristically elusive in characterizations, motivations are hidden as the camera attempts to delve into them. Our surroundings seem to be interpreted depending on how we feel, seeing red, green or some thing in particular according to what we feel inside ourselves. Obession, desire, affirmation come to a point only to possibly start at the beginning all over again.
Lang’s films always have a need to document, reminding us of the clockwork nature of life, how supposedly isolated events come to affect and influence other people or areas. M is simultaneously an entrancing police procedural and serial killer movie, as well as depicting the epidemic that can be public outrage. Becker sets the film in motion, but is more a spectre than a being for most of the film and Lang delights in highlighting the panic of society from housewives to beer halls to policemen and even professional criminals. Like many of his films, M emphasizes how we all can become linked by specific incidents and the potentials, for better or worse, they may reveal in ourselves.
Balthazar and Happy-Go-Lucky are also uniquely linked. In both Bresson and Leigh’s films, the themes and interests are expressed through the central characters, Balthazar and Poppy, like light through a prism. The attitudes, character and so on of others is expressed in relation to and through contact with these beings. They reveal weaknesses without condemning them yet still affirm humanity at large. Bresson’s film offers a counterpoint to Balthazar in Gerard, equally as mysterious and as much an essence of evil as Balthazar may stand for good. Both play important roles to Marie, arguably the only other ‘central’ character, and seem to influence her continually throughout the film. Poppy is an unusual character for any film, as on the surface she seems endlessly pleasant, almost naively so. Careful examination of her during the course of the film, however, and the way she acts around particular people seems to vary slightly, revealing subtle changes in attitude and someone who is more able to be aware of what surrounds her and to cope with it than we may give credit for.
Perhaps it’s fitting that Thanksgiving forms the framework for Hannah and Her Sisters, with three being shown [the beginning, the end and one roughly in the middle.] Despite the fact this naturally covers a period of two years, there’s a constant autumnal mood to the film a feeling of change, withdrawal and renewal. People come apart when they want to come together and come together when they want to be apart. As though what we want to do and what our actions lead us to are two entirely different things. Maybe we can know about this, but it makes everything all the more confusing and troublesome in determining which direction to move in.

1- Apocalypse Now- Francis Ford Coppola-1979
From the moment I watched this in 1991 it has been my favorite film. Great cinematography, perfect editing, solid performances, then when I learned the back story of the filming, I saw what an effort it was to get the film made it it added that much more to it’s near perfection.

2- The Ice Storm- Ang Lee-1997
Such a subtle film where what is really being said is never really said at all. A beautiful adaptation of a good novel and beautiful performances are seen throughout the film. Mychael Danna’s score is almost a narrator.

3- Miller’s Crossing- The Coen Bros.- 1990
The Coens created a new way to speak. They smiled at the Gangster Genre, paid it respect, and added in their own special quirks. It’s a fun film with drama and noteworthy performances by John Turturro and Marcia Gay Hardin.

4- The Godfather (All Parts)- Francis Ford Coppola- 1972/74/90 (if it must be cut to one single film, then it would be Part I)
I don’t think the third installment sullied the series as much as I once did. Part III’s greatest sin was that it was not Part I or Part II. The first two in the series are the picture of perfection. I may have more favorite films, but The Godfather Part I is the greatest film ever made.

5- Mean Streets- Martin Scorsese-1973
Scorsese was still raw and that’s what makes Mean Streets so good. Then the fact he fulfilled the promise he showed in this film makes it that much more remarkable.

6- Se7en- David Fincher- 1995
Though people may love to hate on Fincher, Se7en is a major work of Crime Cinema. Darius Khondji’s cinematography is spot on. Morgan Freeman is perfect, and even Brad Pitt is good, because Fincher knew how to work with him and get the best from him.

7- Trois Couleurs: Bleu- Krzysztof Kieślowski- 1993
There isn’t much to say except Bleu is a beautiful film of accepting grief and being strong enough to move on. Juliette Binoche is amazing. Zbigniew Preisner’s score enhances the drama and was the final perfect piece in each of the Trois Couleurs films.

8- Raging Bull- Martin Scorsese- 1980
Raging Bull has well-earned it’s standing as a great film. It’s strong as it displays La Motta’s weakness. It’s strong in the boxing ring. It is strong in the violence and the pain and it makes no excuses for what it is.

Merging real life and film to perfection. This film should be seen more often that it is.

Saw this at a cinema in Singapore that was notorious for screening adult themed movies. The movie posters emphasized the erotic aspects of the film but I also liked the social criticism and the depiction of a rich Korean culture!

Jack
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey – Stanley Kubrik – 1968 – USA – the first film that made me aware of the concept of director as auteur. Kubrick takes a giant screen and fills it with a giant story – the entire history of the progress of the human race – and does it stunningly.
2. The 400 Blows (Les quatres cents coups) – Francois Truffaut – 1959 – France – the ultimate coming-of-age story told in a style that epitomized the New Wave school of film.
3. Blade Runner – Ridley Scott – 1982 – USA – a film I never tire of seeing. A story about the creation of almost-human androids that must be terminated because they have become almost human, Blade Runner deals with the topic most important to us all – the human condition.
4. Eraserhead – David Lynch – 1976 – USA – David Lynch’s surrealist world is disturbing at a most profound level. The story almost makes sense, and that is the key to its disruptive power.
5. The Last Picture Show – Peter Bogdanovich – 1971 – USA – a story about a time and a place that is long gone, told in a poignant, almost haunting way that leaves a lasting sense of longing unfulfilled.
6. Tokyo Story (Tokyo monogatari) – Yasujiro Ozu – 1953 – Japan – Ozu’s masterful, understated techniques show us how Japanese culture is so different from the rest of the world, and how, conversely, we are all so very much alike. A movie of cool surfaces that contains overflowing emotion.
7. Apocalypse Now – Francis Ford Coppola – 1979 – USA – a cornucopia of sensory overload that takes us through the Vietnam War to leave us with the impact of the experience rather than the actual experience itself. When I left the theatre, I was still stunned by its pyrotechnics.
8. Wings of Desire – (Der Himmel uber Berlin) – Wim Wenders – 1987 – Germany – a film about angels? In Wenders’ hands, it works sublimely, looks exquisite, and resonates deeply. Extra credit for the brilliant inclusion of Peter Falk and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
9. Pulp Fiction – Quentin Tarantino – 1994 – USA – what can be said that hasn’t been said? Great use of non-linear time, dialogue that crackles and acting that is so brilliant it hurts.
10. The Passion of Joan of Arc (La passion de Jeanne d’Arc) – Carl Theodor Dreyer – 1928 – Denmark – A marvelous attempt to make us see how different one woman was compared to all those around her. The actress known as Falconetti portrays Joan as the calm yet unworldly eye in the hurricane of her time. The best silent film ever made.

The Only Son — my father has sacrificed everything for me to attempt to be the filmmaker I want to be. I discovered this film at the perfect time in my life: the crossroads of before I move out on my own as an individual and an artist.
City Lights — the final scene. For something being such a painstaking process … and such dislike between the two stars … such perfection, love at the root of it all.
Love Streams — saying “raw” never does a Cassavetes film justice. This is the human experience, the best and worst.
the Passion of Joan of Arc — I could not imagine the mind that somehow ended up cutting this together, it was probably made of solid gold.
The Mirror — so personal, and exact.
Maborosi — exactly the kind of film I aspire to make in every way possible; the perfect anytime film for me. I can pop it in and allow every pour to become saturated, be it for a moving experience or just in the background to allow the images and music to truly entrance my mind.
Ugetsu — the master perfectly explains human nature. Yeah, we’re that bad.
A Time to Live and a Time to Die — conjures the same thoughts as Maborosi for me, but on a different level. Connections on a family scale instead of a love scale. Loss differs in both regards.
Crimes and Misdemeanors — another great example of the human condition, though this time at least we can laugh at it … mostly.
Window Water Baby Moving — There are hardly words for it, but it truly captures life in the deepest of ways and shows that not only is joy around us but so is art, in every little moment. It is part of joy … or can be.

1The Godfather 1 and 2, Coppola, 1972 and 1974 I count this as one film most list do but I also think that the greatness of the 2nd one is because it’s a continuation of the first one and it’s intermixing of the Don’s early life.

1. Singin’ In The Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952)
Absolutely perfect in every way.
2. Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942)
Old Hollywood at its finest, firing on all cylinders. One of the all-time greatest scrrenplays.
3. Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977)
It’s paled with time, but the first time you see it, Star Wars is everything cinema should be. Genuinely exciting to watch.
4. In The Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai, 2000)
So gorgeously shot, you can feel the romantic longing in every frame.
5. Jules and Jim (Jules et Jim, Francois Truffaut, 1962)
The epitome of the French New Wave, every second positively pulses with life.
6. M. Hulot’s Holiday (Les vacances de M. Hulot, Jacques Tati, 1953)
The most charming, and shrewdly observed, of Tati’s Hulot films. The littlest things always make for the biggest laughs.
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Peter Jackson, 2001)
I never tire of this movie. The ultimate fantasy epic, and the only film I’ve seen more than once on the big screen.
8. Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d’Amelie Poulain, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 2001)
This film has such a great sense of playfulness and fun that I cannot help but fall in love with it.
9. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)
Utterly hypnotic. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, the mystery always pulls me in and feels new and fresh.
10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry, 2004)
Mark my words: Time will show this to be the greatest cinematic achievement of the early 2000s.
Absolutely perfect in every way.
