I think KSDs are much more highly stylized, almost to a surreal extent, while JD23 has just that one hyper-surreal moment amidst its documentary-like unfolding. But it might be said that Moby Dick and Finding Nemo are just stories about tying to locate aquatic creatures, though the argument...

One may be forgiven for wondering if the poll's creator's aren't a bit disappointed that the top choice didn't generate more controversy than they might have anticipated and perhaps desired. The film is a glaringly obvious pick for inclusion, and as I've said many times, a masterpiece and among...

Cinema verite! Pure filmmaking returned to its earliest roots. There was a guy in New York City who ran a cable show consisting of people walking by his window, though he would edit it so that it mostly featured attractive young women. No one knew they were being filmed, though when they saw...

It appears you randomly clicked on my post & responded to it having read neither the post you responded to, nor anything else I've said about the poll or this film. Take care. :)

For me, JD23 is leaps and bounds ahead of the director's other work, and must be judged on its own merits, which are considerable. While there were clearly politics at work to an unprecedented degree in the construction of the SSP this time around, JD23 is nonetheless a masterpiece, and worth...

Wow - how the mighty Stones have dropped! Like a rock! :o Fickle fashion... LOA's time will come again, so to the Stones. Renoir? He SHOULD transcend time, but for so many, he somehow doesn't. :(

LOA now has the "White savior" label attached that also caused backlash against Avatar. Grand Illusion is problematic for modern audiences for a number of vaguer reasons, but any poll not bursting with Renoir's work makes me very suspicious; it's like a best rock albums list with little to no...

Wow. The article didn't come up in any browser I tried, but then I noticed the one sentence included in the link, and feel I missed absolutely nothing. Utterly pathetic.

I was surprised to see Liberty Valance finally get some respect, but no Horse Soldiers or Clementine??? Even Long Gray Line is better than several films on the list; some people just know/knew how to make great movies.

Beyond whatever agendas we *may* be seeing hotly pursued at the moment beyond pure creative merit, the biggest problem with the list is that one really does need to break such things down by genre and/or other criteria. Other than this latest list being kind of nuts (not that it wasn't always...

Yeah. I only agree with 25 of the films listed as being among the 100 greatest, and some of the selections are simply bizarre. The rankings are also absurd - Bicycle Thief at #41???
