Has this thread lost all of its credibility yet?

 

Did it ever have any?

as long as orson welles is represented it has a modicum of credibility, despite all the blatant biases.

 

youth: good choices, by the way.

Only one Billy Wilder movie on the list. One of the best writers/directors of all time only has 1 movie on the list. Please change the title to Favorite SmartMarks movie.

I guess I better clear up some problems people had with my system:

 

1. Psycho-Horror stands for PSYCHOLOGICAL horror, not slasher movies.

 

2. I bought in to the hype with GONE WITH THE WIND. Man, that's pretty callous considering how great that film is on pretty m uch every level. But what do I care? You put THE GRADUATE as Best Comedy. Thats funnier than the movie itself.

 

3. I chose to bracket the genres as I wished, feel free do it differently.

[Guest godthedog]

if psycho-horror=psychological horror, i'm changing my vote to 'repulsion'.

 

'gone with the wind' put me to sleep, and i couldn't sit through it after more than an hour. however, that was the only basis i was judging it on & it's not a fair basis, so i'll withdraw my comment.

 

and i know you don't like 'the graduate', but WHY don't you like it? specific reasons, not something circular like "because it sucks and it's crap."

[Guest 5_moves_of_doom]

Pulp Fiction, Dog Day Afternoon, American Beauty.

 

 

Fight Club and Scarface and a Clockwork Orangeand Taxi Driver and others are damn close, but at this time, I like these three the best.
