I so wanted to squeeze Apocalypse Now in there…but
It appears that about 15 or 16 people have still to submit theirs…I wonder what’s taking them?
Here’s mine:
1.Ran
2.Children of Paradise
3.Passion of Joan of Arc
4.La Dolce Vita
5 Siberiade
6.2001
7.Ivan the Terrible part 1 and 2
8.Citizen Kane
9.Andrei Rublev
10.The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
double post
why is it that we still can’t delete our posts?
lol, why does everyone have trouble with alphabetical order?
Adam – when you have completed your tallies, are you planning to post everyone’s list or should we post them individually here? In any case, this is what I sent Adam:
1. 8 ½ – Frederico Fellini
2. 2001 – Stanley Kubrick
3. Blowup – Michelangelo Antonioni
4. Grapes of Wrath – John Ford
5. Last Year at Marienbad – Alain Resnais
6. Rashomon – Akira Kurosawa
7. Stalker – Andrei Tarkovsky
8. The Third Man – Carol Reed
9. Vertigo – Alfred Hitchcock
10. Wild Strawberries – Ingmar Bergman
A bit too ‘Joe Arthouse’ (as I was informed on a different Criterion forum), but these are my long time favourites. I am hoping the final list from Adam’s compilation will be less predictable than mine. Thanks, Adam.
I plan on publishing everyone’s lists eventually. I also plan to post a breakdown of the films voted for by country and year.
this is more exciting than the oscars!!
Thanks, Adam – you’re The Man. It should be very revealing – everyone has to show their hand, so to speak. I bet 2001 makes it to the ‘final’ cut, based on preliminary top ten postings!
Filmy Andy: Because it’s like the Oscars should be – based on quality, not hype and whether it hits the proper sentimentality quotient. We auteurs can’t be bought either – unless someone wants to bribe us with a box load of Criterions…
Bob, I am throwing an after party if 2001 ends up in top3, no hype only love and appreciation for magnificent art
2001
Andrei Rublev
Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo.
Children of Paradise
Citizen Kane
Ivan the Terrible saga
La Dolce Vita
Ran
Siberiade
just for you rich skeleton
2001: A Space Odyssey
8 1/2
A Clockwork Orange
Citizen Kane
The Godfather
Persona
Rashomon
The Searchers
Taxi Driver
Vertigo
That is the list I submitted, but Apocalypse Now has replaced The Searchers on my current list. I guess my picks aren’t the most creative but what can I say. I’m pretty confident 2001 will make the final cut.
This IS fun.
Fellini, Kubrick and Bergman are making most of the lists, but it looks like it will be a battle between their respective best films.
And rock-on that Eisenstein’s IVAN hits so many!
Adam, why did you think my name was a reference to Dogma? I’ve seen the film but its been a while…..
Also I have to second Bob’s thanks, its really awesome your taking the time to do this!
Crap Monster, remember the crap monster they fight in the seedy bar where they meet up with the muse [aka Selma Hayek]?
My submitted list:
1. 8 1/2 (Fellini)
2. Tokyo Story (Ozu)
3. Seventh Seal (Bergman)
4. The Mirror (Tarkovsky)
5. Red Desert (Antonioni)
6. Bicycle Thieves (De Sica)
7. Last Year at Marienbad (Resnais)
8. La Maman et la Putain (Eustache)
9. L’Argent (Bresson)
10. The Time to Live and The Time to Die (Hou)
Here is mine….
1. “The Red Shoes”
2. “Touch of Evil”
3. “Bicycle Thieves”
4. “The Burmese Harp”
5. “Wild Strawberries”
6. “Le Cercle Rouge”
7. “In the Mood for Love”
8. “Aguirre: The Wrath of God”
9. “Vampyr”
10 “Blind Shaft”
I’d like to kill myself… I didn’t include “Vertigo” in my own list !
In the meanwhile, I want to say that I’m proud of having seen Fellini and Kubrick in many lists!
:D

I want to say that I’m proud of having seen Fellini and Kubrick in many lists!
They are two of my favorite directors but didn’t show up in my list. Strange how that works out. If I made a top ten directors list a lot of the directors from my top ten films list wouldn’t show up either though.
Rules of the Game
Late Spring
Scarface (Hawks)
The Birds
Barry Lyndon
L’Avventura
Flowers of Shanghai
Sunrise
Beau travail
Stalker
Here is the list I submitted to Adam:
1. Citizen Kane
2. Dekalog
3. My Diner With Andre
4. L’Eclisse
5. Faces
6. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
7. Los Olvidados
8. Taxi Driver
9. Vivre Sa Vie
10. War and Peace
Ones I didn’t not mention for boring reasons but all deserving a spot: Day for Night, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Johnny Guitar, Happy Together, Last Tango In Paris, Chimes at Midnight and many others
I submitted this list:
1. Andrei Rublev (Andrei Tarkovsky)
2. L’Avventura (Michelangelo Antonioni)
3. Day of Wrath (Carl Theodor Dreyer)
4. The Last Laugh (F.W. Murnau)
5. Late Spring (Yasujiro Ozu)
6. Pickpocket (Robert Bresson)
7. The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir)
8. Sansho the Bailiff (Kenji Mizoguchi)
9. Satantango (Bela Tarr)
10. Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky)
It is in alphabetical order, I almost put 2 Ozus in the list (the other Tokyo Story) but I couldnt find a space.
Did anyone else annotate their lists?
I annotated mine for both mini-justification and personal affectation of each film I selected. I won’t reproduce my list here as list publication by Adam is forthcoming, but I was just wondering.
I’m glad to be seeing so much Dreyer and Kieslowski! I was hoping that the both of these artists would be represented not only in my list but in the lists of others, and crosses fingers THE list!
@Matthew Griffiths: Thank god someone voted for it. I adore The Passenger; I neglected to include it on my list.
Does DEKALOG count as a single film?
I thought it was a TV series whose episodes came out in a random order. Many of ’em also have a double version…
So, even HEIMAT and BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ count as single films?
Adam Cook
I thought your name was a reference to Dogma…..
Please be patient waiting for the results, I’ll work as fast as I can and I’m not sure how long it will take.
Anyways, I figured it’s only fair to post my list for all to see, as I get to see everyone else’s, so here it is:
8 ½ – Federico Fellini (1963) Italy
2001 A Space Odyssey – Stanley Kubrick (1968) USA
Aguirre, the Wrath of God – Werner Herzog (1972) Germany
Apocalypse Now – Francis Ford Coppola (1979) USA
Citizen Kane – Orson Welles (1941) USA
The Decalogue – Krzysztof Kieslowski (1989) Poland
Fitzcarraldo – Werner Herzog (1982) Germany
Princess Mononoke – Hayao Miyazaki (1999) Japan
Seven Samurai – Akira Kurosawa (1954) Japan
Synecdoche, New York – Charlie Kaufman (2008) USA
