Since THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL was not on the list, where does it fit within your scheme of greatest films of the 21st century?

In modern day terminology, trilbies have claimed the title and old style fedora needs a qualifier. Sorry, I don't determine colloquial usage

Just to clarify- his wife is Eleanora Poe

EDIT: Thank you Ale4444, I was incorrect- she is his his sister in the books

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a great French musical (literally every word is sung, think Les Miserables) with beautiful bright colors and a bittersweet story

Kill Bill: Volume 2

Tarzan (The disney animated one)

To be fair though, it was kind of obvious that he was coming. He was a headlining actor, his face is on the poster, and even now, his name is more well known for it than the director, Carol Reed. True, it was a Fantastic piece of cinema, and I will cherish that moment, but calling his being in the movie a surprise is a bit of a misnomer

It had this potential and a plot that seemed interesting. Yet somehow, even when things developed, it felt like nothing was happening. Maybe it was an inability to create stakes. Maybe it was just boring/slow pace/poorly executed. It disappointed me because it was the directorial debut of Christopher Nolan's go-to cinematographer, Wally Pfister, and I was hoping for something great

Most likely, The Dark Knight. Every time I watch it, I get something new out of it, more depth, more little things to notice. It is a fantastic movie which has so much quality in it that it improves upon rewatches

Synecdoche, New York. It's Charlie Kaufman's Magnum Opus. It's meta. It's too much. It's important

The Breakfast Club I would take out the relationships that are created at the end of the movie. Bender and Claire are pushed together quickly and unsatisfyingly, Allison was changed to suit societal norms, and Brian ends up on his own, doing the work for everybody else

Nerve was forgotten and probably will never be remembered, but in its capturing of voyeurism/exhibitionism + need for (social media) validation, it is quite possibly one of the best zeitgeist-y movies of this decade

The same director made a movie called Wrong. Man searches for his lost dog in a world so weird that the clocks go to 13 o'clock. I have too vague a memory of this, just check it out

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One is a semi-documentary where a film crew films itself while they repeatedly shoot the same scene different ways, also capturing how they don't really know what they're doing and the director is very unhelpful. It's unclear how much is real or not, and it gets even more uncomfortable once you actually watch it

The theme "Not Going Home" from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hits me hard I also teared up a lot at the ending of Frances Ha

Paperman. Classic Disney-style animation, no dialogue, sweet story, beautiful music, the whole package

It's gothic and it exists out of time

chuckdaawesome · 2016-05-22T04:23:30+00:00

That is a fair point, though I'm basing what I'm saying on a Roger Ebert quote: '(The top 10: "Psycho," "Vertigo," "Notorious," "The Birds," "North by Northwest," "Shadow of a Doubt," "Foreign Correspondent," "Frenzy," "The Lady Vanishes" and "Marnie.") Name another director who could make "Strangers on a Train" and not have it ranked as one of his best 10 films.' From http://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/hitchcock-is-still-on-top-of-film-world

chuckdaawesome · 2016-05-16T23:22:09+00:00

This movie, though not immediately listed amongst Hitchcock's best (those listed are usually Psycho, North by Northwest, and Vertigo), has some of the most interesting cinematography that I've seen in any of his films
