Shryke - Toy Story 3
It seems way too soon for me to consider it in a Top 100, I have only seen it 6 months ago in theaters, but it sure is one of the best American films of 2010. I can't say I didn't have tears coming to my eyes at the end
Surfer - Beetlejuice
It's been a while since I last saw it, but what a blast it was. It's cynical, caustic. So dark and funny, so wild and imaginative. One of the very few very good films by Burton.
greenarrow - The Appartment
Wilder was such a great mixer ofcomedy and drama, and this is probably the best example of the man's ability to do so. No wonder I listed it myself earlier
transformers - Unforgiven
What an amazing filmmaker Clint Eastwood is. Unforgiven proved it to many who might have forgotten it before. A gritty, bitter, spleeny western perfectly mastered. The film missed my own list by a very narrow margin !
Ozzy - Into the Wild
Sean Penn is a good filmmaker, and he probably proved it best with this melancholic adventure examining the incredible journey of a man. Hirsch is impressive, and Holbrook is very moving. Excellent film.
Buscemi - The Big Lebowski
They don't make many films like The Big Lebowski. In fact, it truly is one of a kind, isn't it ? So flegmatic, so smart, so funny. No, they don't make many like The Big Lebowski. Worthy of the several occurences in these lists.
Six - Blue Velvet
I'd say this is probably my 3rd favourite Lynch film, behind Mulholland Dr. and Lost Highway. A film where the fascination coexists with the disgust and the awkwardness (is that a word ?), and that is absolutely brilliant.
Banks - Up in the Air
I'm surprised by how popular this film is, although it is, yes, a good film. Maybe I haven't seen it enough, only once. Maybe it grows on you. Right now it's a film I like very much, but nothing more.
Barca - Death at a Funeral
It definitely was a funny film. Tudyk is insane, some situations are hilarious. Overall it seems minor to me, but nice.
Geezer - Stripes
I've heard of it by surfing the web and discussing with Americans, but otherwise it falls in the "Unknown Film" catergory in France. Never seen it.
Leestu - Jaws
Strangely, it's a Spielberg film I have not seen THAT much. Maybe twice. Maybe because I don't need it to avoid the big blue. It's a great film.
W - I love you, man
I completely bought the Rudd/Segel bromance. The two of them have perfect chemistry. The film in itself isn't very surprising, but it's good in its range. I really liked it.
NSpan - National Lampoon's Vacation
I think... I think I've seen this one a few years ago on the cable... Hmmm... not sure. I remember having seen one of those Vacations films with Chevy Chase... but which was it. I remember the kids wanted to go to a theme park... so it seems it's this one... but honestly it did not make a lasting impression on me and I don't remember.
UDM - Mean Girls
Here's one film I did not expect much of (a Lindsay Lohan comedy !!), but found very good. Good writing, excellent actors. A nice surprise.
JohnErle - Dead Ringers
I'm always curious for Cronenberg, but I haven't seen this one yet.
