A Monster Calls was a victim of non-existent marketing. Universal put all its marketing muscle on Sing and left A Monster Calls for dead. In addition, it was a pickup from Focus's previous regime (the one that spearheaded the FilmDistrict and relaunched Gramercy) and I guess the new head decided it wasn't worth releasing.

Meanwhile, Pan's Labyrinth was very well-marketed. I remember when it was coming out, I couldn't escape that trailer. And the thing played forever at what was then a single-screen arthouse here.

Personally, I've never gotten the love for Pan's Labyrinth. Besides the title which baffled me (the faun is never named and I spent my time wondering why it wasn't called Ofelia's Maze, as the English subtitles refer to the labyrinth as a maze), I felt it was simply trying too hard with the fascist Spain elements (if any film didn't have a need to be a war film, it's this one) and historical elements. You could place it in modern day and focus on the creepy stepfather elements and it would be the same film. In terms of 2006 films with creepy families and strange goings-on, I prefer Terry Gilliam's Tideland.
Everything on this post is strictly the opinion and only the opinion of Buscemi.

Ron B: Of all the lists on here, I found yours to be the most surprising and eclectic. You had everything from ultraviolent action flicks (John Wick) to universally-acclaimed Best Picture winners (Birdman) to minimalist sci-fi (Arrival) to dumb comedies (Old School). Obviously there was a handful of films on there I hated (headlined by Mullholland Drive and Moonrise Kingdom) or find to be overrated (Oldboy, Casino Royale), but my admiration for the variety of films on there combined with our shared love of films that no one else chose (Remember the Titans, 50/50, Warrior) nullified those minor issues. Overall I've seen 77 of the films from your list and we had 25 overlaps. Great stuff Ron!

#1 - The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)



The Royal Tenenbaums was, is, and will probably always remain Wes Anderson's masterpiece, yet there was a long period of my life where I'd forgotten that.

After introducing himself to the wider world with Rushmore, and re-inventing Bill Murray in the process, Anderson followed up with The Royal Tenenbaums, both of which I loved at the time, but then I hated The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, and I skipped The Darjeeling Limited, and it wasn't until The Grand Budapest Hotel that I truly loved another Wes Anderson movie. When we did our top 100 of all time several years ago I didn't even include The Royal Tenenbaums since it had been at least a decade since I'd seen it, and Anderson's reputation had faded that much in my eyes. But The Grand Budapest Hotel inspired me to revisit Anderson's early work, and then I fell in love with The Royal Tenenbaums all over again.

His lesser films can sometimes place style over substance, but that's definitely not the case here, where the two have equal importance. Take, for example, the 70s aesthetic of the film, which is more than just an affectation. All of these characters are stuck in the past, still hurting from old wounds that never fully healed, so the costumes, the soundtrack, and the cinematography all help reinforce the idea that these characters are yearning for the lives they once had.

The Tenebaum family and the people surrounding them are the richest batch of characters Wes Anderson has ever created, and this is also the most poignant, bittersweet story he's ever told. And like so many of my favourite films, it strikes a personal chord with me that elevates it from a film I merely admire to one I truly love.

Every character in this film is broken in some way, and seeking to reconnect with or finally become part of a family, which is something a lot of us can relate to. And I was also considered somewhat of a child prodigy and skipped an entire grade in elementary school, but by the time I was in high school I was merely a good but not exceptional student who never lived up to the promise those early teachers had seen in me, so I can completely relate to this story of three child prodigies who feel their glory days are behind them. And I was also adopted, so I laughed extra hard every time Royal mentioned “My adopted daughter, Margo.” And let's not overlook the fact that this movie gave the legendary Gene Hackman one final memorable role before he retired a few years later.

This is the movie where Wes Anderson fully developed his unique, eccentric, and inimitable style, and even if his later films draw upon many of the techniques seen here, there's no other filmmaker I'm aware of who's capable of duplicating Anderson's style and tone, so I'm more than happy for him to keep making movies the way only he can, even if none of them are likely to ever match The Royal Tenenbaums.

Great list, John!

I've seen just over half of your list (53, to be exact), and we had 11 overlaps (13 if you count the LOTR films individually, which I don't, but you do).

I loved that you included such films as Valkyrie, Date Night, Catch Me if You Can, Red Dragon, and The Ghost Writer. All are eminently re-watchable, which is a quality I value in a film.

You and I were the only ones to include Argo (fuck yourself, lol), and I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Sadly, there were a few films that would likely make my "worst of" list if we do that, like Django Unchained, Children of Men, and your two "Killer" films. (Joe and Inside Me).


Six is next!

Mulholland Dr. (2001)


Image


Anyone who remembers our 100 Favourite Films list shouldn’t be too surprised to see this here – it is my #1 Film of All Time, after all. So has anything changed? Not really. I rewatched it in the cinema a few years ago, and got my hands on the Criterion Collection Special Edition DVD. But what has changed is the way culture has reacted to it. 7 or 8 years ago it was just a well-reviewed arthouse film. Now it’s considered a modern classic. Indeed, the BBC conducted a survey of the best films since 2000 from critics around the world, and it was voted #1. The film has received many deluxe DVD and Blu-Ray releases (including that amazing Criterion edition), and has been re-released in cinemas several times. In fact, as I write I note that it’s out in cinemas in the UK again this weekend. And of course Lynch is being introduced to a whole new generation of hipsters now that Twin Peaks is returning in May (which is still hard to believe. It feels like a strange, Lynchian dream). So perhaps it’s time for this film to get the accolade it really deserves.

I haven’t read my old post about the film, so there’s going to be some repetition. But for me this film best demonstrates the power of cinema as an artform. Too many films get it wrong – they’re essentially filmed plays (all dialogue, just walking around) or at the other end just explosions (something video games do better). Mulholland Drive makes the most of cinema’s unique ability to not just combine music, visuals, and human performance, but also to capture our minds, our consciousness.

In a nutshell, this is a film about as aspiring actress. What starts as an ideal world, in which she arrives in Hollywood and everything goes right, turns into something darker as a mysterious woman suffering from amnesia crosses her path. Soon everything starts to unravel, including time and narrative logic. People complain that the film makes no sense, but the general logic of an ideal world coming undone as reality spills in isn’t that hard to work out. You could even argue that the whole film is a dream, one that shows how desire, both personal and professional, can completely ruin us. But it’s not “just” a dream. As my favourite scene of all time (in which two guys are at a diner, one explains he had a terrifying dream about being there, only to realise the dream is coming true – link is below) shows, fantasy and reality merge in our minds, we need both to exist, so fantasy can and does indeed affect and alter our reality. Only a few films have ever successfully done this, and Mulholland Drive perfects it.

I could go on about the performances, the wit, the self-awareness (Lynch inserts a version of himself as a vague TV director), the stunning score by Badalamenti, the sound design, the horror, the love, etc, but I’ll just finish by saying that Mulholland Drive is the realisation of cinema’s true potential, one that captures and reflects our consciousness in the most beautiful and perfect way.

Here’s my favourite scene


And here’s one of the best scores I’ve ever heard


And finally, thanks to everyone for participating, particularly Shryke for setting it up, and John for helping take over during Shryke’s op. It was great to see what you’re all into, what I’ve missed and need to see. And delighted to see that over 60 of my own films featured in someone else’s Top 100 – and it wasn’t just Surfer and Chien!

John...

Well, what a great choice for your #1 film. I remember seeing it in the cinema when in university and loving it. I hadn't seen Rushmore or Bottle Rocket, but I loved the visuals, the production design, but far more fundamentally the balance of humour and genuine emotion throughout. It's Wes Anderson's best film for me too (and like you I ended up revisiting his work after feeling disappointed by Life Aquatic and Darjeeling... but for me it was Moonrise Kingdom), and still stands up upon scrutiny.

You have a very unique Top 100, mixing a bit of everything, but most interestingly you dig distinct horror films, some of which I'm not a fan of, but others I am, such as The Witch, which surprisingly only the two of us threw onto our Top 100.I've seen it twice, and can't wait to see more. I'll be interested to see what you make of Raw. We shared 12 films from our lists (14 if you split up the LOTR films), and great to see the under-rated War of the Worlds and the timeless Sideways make an appearance, as well as Take Shelter. That more than compensates for the Hobbit and Harry Potter films, which all felt padded to me.

I haven't seen 16 films from your list, most of which are in the later half. I'm intrigued by Black Death (have you seen Detour yet?), Venus in Fur, and Into the Forest.

Well, Six, your list and my list have less in common, I daresay, than any two lists in this group.

I've only seen 22 of yours films, and only a paltry three overlaps (Kill Bill, Dark Knight, LOTR).

Obviously, we have different tastes. But I still like you. (cue bromantic music)

Banks' #1....


Image

The Social Network (2010)
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Armie Hammer, Rooney Mara, & Justin Timberlake
Directed by David Fincher
Written by Aaron Sorkin
Based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich


It's the tale of the unpleasant beginnings of one of the most important pillars of the Internet, and consequently the groundwork that The Information Age stands upon to this day. The creation of Facebook sounds unimportant today, as it's become a haven for middle aged parents who love Minion memes and spreading misinformation as quickly as possible, but Facebook is American history. And building a multi-billion dollar company in your spare time with your friends is a story as American as cooling off a pie on a window sill in the 1800s. It's a deeply moving case study of ambition and ruthlessness in the name of greatness - again, a story as American as any. It also happens to be career bests for all involved, above and below the line. It's The Social Network.

David Fincher is one of the best directors working today, and has been for the last 20 years. That's just a fact. He's got an eye for framing and camera movement that can make a dull slog of a scene in lesser hands into riveting work. Early on in the movie, Mark Zuckerberg drunkenly hacks into the houses of Harvard and creates Facemash, the precursor to Facebook, powered by his anger towards his newly ex-girlfriend. Fincher's quick cuts and tight closeups, interspersed with the longer tracking shots of girls being shepherded into a Harvard party, are genius and you don't realize you've been holding your breath until it's over. It's comprised of fingers typing and computer screens and Fincher turns into into a taut heist scene. It's a staggering achievement, and the scene is only a manifestation of what Fincher does throughout the entire film.



Half of what makes The Social Network awe-inspring is Fincher's direction, but the other half...that belongs to Aaron Sorkin's writing. The dialogue is crackling - which, if you've seen The West Wing or Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, should not be a surprise. The Social Network uses its words as weapons, and the sparring is quick, smart, and piercing. Take the scene where the Winklevoss twins visit the president of Harvard: not only is the three way discussion exhilarating, but it's bookended perfectly by the intro and button in the secretary's office. The change is attitudes from the twins perfectly paints how the meeting went, telling the story of the scene without telling you. It's beautiful.



There's a scene in the movie wherein Mark Zuckerberg attends a talk by Bill Gates, but it's simply used as background as it's where Mark and Eduardo Severin learn just how big their creation is becoming: "Facebook Me" says it all. It seems obvious that Sorkin dangles a thread between Zuckerberg and Gates, two Harvard men that created companies with troubled pasts - companies that helped created computing and the Internet as we know it. It's telling that Bill Gates never even gave a talk at Harvard in 2004, or at least not that anyone remembers or there are records of. But the off-putting, genius "inventor" Sorkin should've drawn his thread towards is the funhouse mirror opposite of Zuckerberg and that's Steve Jobs, Mr. Apple himself. Zuckerberg was a mechanics man in need of ideas, a fact that Sorkin and Fincher take lengths to show, while Jobs was the prototype BIG IDEA guy who stepped on the backs of others to propel himself ("What is it exactly that you do?" - Steve Wozniak). It's of no surprise that Aaron Sorkin wrote award-winning scripts on these two fascinating individuals, here and for Steve Jobs (2015).

Additionally, there is not a soft spot when it comes to the cast and their performances. It may be seem obvious to cast Jesse Eisenberg as the awkward, fast-talking college student, but that doesn't mean he doesn't nail the role to the wall. Andrew Garfield hasn't been as good since, and it's noteworthy that his performance here created his entire career, including his starring role in a superhero franchise and the Oscar nomination for acting he just earned earlier this year. There are no weak points; even the small roles, like Dakota Johnson, Rashida Jones, or Brenda Song, stand up to the meaty ones. Armie Hammer played two people, for God's sake. But perhaps my favorite is Justin Timberlake's off-the-wall casting as Napster founder Sean Parker - this scene, his introduction, put all worries to rest in just 3 minutes:



This is getting long-winded, but I'd regret not mentioning Trent Reznor's haunting score, even just in passing. It's the depressing piano, thumping electronica, and even classical remixed heartbeat of the entire film. It gives meaning to establishing shots, and it even turns a freaking rowing race into an epic battle worthy of any overlong Peter Jackson setpiece.



The Social Network isn't perfect (the jarring-ness of the opening conversation comes to mind), but shit it's damn near close. And it's my top movie of this millenium.

Well, as far as lists go, Banks, yours falls right in the middle for me. There are a lot I haven't seen, but there were 34 that I have. But then, your list only had 60, so that's pretty good, I guess.

We had 12 overlaps: GOTG, V for Vendetta, Wreck-It Ralph, Minority Report, Star Trek, Ratatouille, Unbreakable, Inglourious Basterds, Inception, Kill Bill (Vol 1, anyway), and The Dark Knight.

And we were the only ones who extolled the virtues of Kung Fu Panda. Glad to see I'm not the only one here who loves animation as much as me.
