My top 50 films of all time

By: joey Noodles

1.Once Upon a Time in America The greatest gangster film, no doubt, for me at least, top of the list.

2.Taxi Driver Another one I love so much, so beautifully shot, De Niro gives the finest performance of all time.

3.Apocalypse Now A stunning cinematic achievement.

4.1900

5.The Green Mile

6.The Godfather Part II

7. The Godfather

8.Raging Bull

9. The Deer Hunter

10. Chinatown

I have a firm #1 but the rest you may find very occasionally changing, a new film may find place in the top 10 every 6 months or so from now on, since I have established a top 20 or so that I love so very much. Thank you very much to those who stop by the list, I am very grateful for looking at my opinion. As you can probably tell from the list Robert De Niro is my favourite actor (and the finest of all time), I also think Scorsese, Leone are the best directors who have ever lived. I love epics! Although I do not take this into consideration when giving a film a rating. My favourite genre is gangster, I just love it!

Very nice list Joey. There are still some films here that I have not seen yet. I am especially looking forward to seeing the Angelopoulos films, Kwaidan and Humanity and Paper Balloons !

I have to admit that you have a very good taste in movies. I can identity a lot of masterpieces you have on your list, just for example: Once Upon A Time In America (Definitely one of the greatest movies), Taxi Driver (One of the best), Raging Bull (also one of the greatest movies) and, of course, The Godfather. Nice list!

    Yes, it's a great film and I think it's mostly cool nickname, isn't it? (: By the way, I see you love Bertolucci, just like me. Have you seen "The Conformist"?

    No, not yet, I had it on record on my TV but it deleted itself for some unknown reason, I saw the first 20 minutes and then it went, such a shame, but I have ordered it on DVD and should arrive tomorrow. Very much looking forward to the full experience. It is a cool nickname by the way! :) Regarding Midnight Cowboy I have only seen it once and found it somewhat difficult to get my head around at points (e.g the party sequence) but I certainly understood what the film was trying to say, I did find it a bit of a nasty film (as in the nature of the story, I'm only 13), I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.

    Regarding "The Conformist": You must watch it. I have seen this film 3 months ago and it's just... perfection. Anyway, I really loves italian movies, specially Bertolucci and Fellini`s movies. Regarding "Midnight Cowboy": I don't think this movie have a specific point like other regular movies. I think he mostly talks about friendship between the strong and the weak, or in our case - Friendship between unfortunate and poor man to successful and charismatic man. To me, the story of "Midnight Cowboy" is one of the sad stories in movies. So, if you will ask me what I liked in "Midnight Cowboy" - i will say it`s just the magical story (who realy touched my heart) and Dustin Hoffman.

    Did you not see the relationship of loss of innocence in the big city?
