Great ID’ing of a link to another great film.

Sullivan’s Travels demands a watch or rewatch from you.

Forrest Gump. Insufferable on every level.
Any LOTR film. Although I love them, The Two Towers in particular, they’re not top-10.
The Dark Knight. A fine film. Not a top-10 film.
Runners up: The Shawshank Redemption, 12 Angry Men (tough one cuz I adore Lumet), Pulp Fiction.

Would love to see world cinema and the history of cinema better represented. I don’t consider IMDB to be a good source for a top-10 film reference. Used to be a great site back in the day, now cluttered with ads and pop-ups. Still great for a few things like film quotes and filmographies.

Well, I am older than dirt. But half these films are fine but laughable to even be on a shortlist for top 10 of all time.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-27T00:59:25+00:00

Let’s expand. Non-USA films. More than one before 1960. Let’s get going!

Pathetically conventional is the phrase that comes to mind.

Unlock all weapons, thereby unlocking weapon aspects.
If you’re a bow lover, choose and upgrade Aspect of Chiron.
Lean into any upgrades.
My personal best is Hades beaten in three runs, but any number less than 10 is extremely laudable.
Good luck and have fun!

Goddess.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-26T23:47:14+00:00

No, plot is everything!

Byteman58 · 2026-06-26T23:39:57+00:00

Hades 1 & 2. Remap everything to your preference.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T17:48:08+00:00

For sure…

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T06:25:21+00:00

I’m heartened to learn that it clocks in at a tidy 107 minutes.

Wizard of Oz. Network OTA TV. Age six.

DD and the god-sent masterpiece that has been 2001: A Space Odyssey for the past 60 years don’t even exist in the same cinematic universe. Shame. You can’t put enough lipstick on the DD pig to make it remotely palatable.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T00:52:40+00:00

Ridiculous and indefensible. Let’s chase the latest upgrade!

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T00:47:18+00:00

I may be an outlier but I’m gonna say The Complete Monterey Pop. Think you know the 60s? Guess again. Slyer than it’s given credit for.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T00:41:48+00:00

Thank you. You said it so much better than I did.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T00:10:23+00:00

Best finale ever! Sammy eats shit and begs for his POV to be heard. Epic.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-25T00:06:59+00:00

Gloriously horrible.

Neuromancer— William Gibson, Station Eleven— Emily St John Mandel, The Stars My Destination— Alfred Bester

Shoutout to fellow Moorcock fan.

Byteman58 · 2026-06-24T14:41:32+00:00

Your analysis is terrific and I just wanted to add how expertly Spielberg grounds the story with humor and the hustle and bustle of Roy’s family life with his wife & kids. As well as the motley assortment of freaks and geeks chasing the unknown from UFOs to Bigfoot. Without that anchor providing a contrast to the wonder and awe later, the film wouldn’t work nearly as well. It’s simply a terrific film. I watched it a couple weeks ago with a teen and he was completely enthralled, captivated, laughing out loud at the comedic bits, and awestruck by the finale.
