I have also seen 8 by Anderson (thought it was just 7 at first but then I remembered the terrible Orca )

Seen 25:

1. Saikaku ichidai onna / The Life of Oharu (1952)
2. Gion bayashi / A Geisha (1953)
3. Five Women Around Utamaro (1946)
4. The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939)
5. Sanshô dayû / Sansho the Bailiff (1954)

Honorable mention:

Gion no shimai / Sisters of the Gion (1936)

Thanks Flip, will watch An Elephant Sitting Still today/before early Sunday (not sure if I'll have time for one sitting), and then I'm done.

Up the Down Staircase has been high on my watchlist for at least a decade, so if only to remind me to see it sometime over the next 10 years this poll was worth it.

Finally starting to get a top 10 I am reasonably happy to display, though at least half should be pushed out by the end of the year. 1. The Favourite (2018, Yorgos Lanthimos) 2. Lazzaro felice / Happy as Lazzaro (2018, Alice Rohrwacher) 3. Zimna wojna / Cold War (2018, Pawel Pawlikowski) 4. Di qiu z...

Seen 15. One of the founders of Italian neorealism, but he also has some delightful comedies to his name - in which he sometimes appears as an actor. Also worth pointing out that he got started as an actor, and from what I understand was quite popular. It was at first very hard to connect him as a ...

ps would totally watch Der Hauptmann von Köpenick if i had access to it ;) and did i nominate aa bakudan one year or just watch it for this? memory is like: https://i.imgur.com/i1gQLZf.jpg Cheers! Let's hope we can push Aa Bakudan through this time, its time has come. (Btw, for reference Der Hauptm...

Already voted on the ICM Forum, but for those interested: For once I decided to play it relatively smart, avoiding to re-champion films ad-nauseam that just never got close to the finish line, such as Motforestilling, Panic in Needle Park, I Am an Elephant Madam or From Morn to Midnight - though, I ...

Gance is the French Griffith as far as I'm concerned, heavy handed to the point of absurdity, but always well done. La Roue is really impressive, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to list it. (I actually love the first J'accuse though, despite the laughable arbitrarily of the phrase when r...

Seen 7.33, and the only one I found great was sadly the 0.33, namely American Madness (which should probably just be given to Capra).

Very late to the party, but here is my list on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/gloede/list/first-time-viewings-of-2018-top-of-the-crop/ Saw well over 500 films last year (definitely the highest amount of films seen in the last 5 years at least), and the top 40 or so are new favorites, and everyth...

About Endlessness is without a doubt my most anticipated 2019 film, and I really hope it is "more of the same". I agree with Flip that Pigeon extended, if not perfected his style, but I would love to see if it can go further - and if not re-enter his world. If Annette by Carax is released ...

Seen 19 (was a big giallo fan in my teens)

Rabid Dogs
Blood and Black Lace
The Whip and the Body
A Bay of Blood
Black Sunday

(Ironically only 2 of the above are giallo films - decided not to vote for the underrated Lust of the Vampire as it was a co-directed effort)

Seen 5:

To Kill a Mockingbird
The Other

(Also quite liked The Nickel Ride and Summer of '42 is good enough - did not care too much for The Stalking Moon however, but also remember nothing about it)

Thanks, my lists are based on IMdb but saved in word, who knows how long ago Salome was considered '23. Well, '22 just got a quite a bit better and '23 just got a whole lot worse. Sadly I checked IMDb and no films had moved the opposite direction (or from any other). A bit frustrating, '23 really ca...

Thank you, missed the drop down.

Thanks Liquid!

Great to see you here.

Honestly I just realized the old forum was gone, shows how active I was.

Good to be back though, will keep checking in occasionally.

P.S. Can you only add avatars from gravatar?

Only 14 films rated 8 or higher for this year, though I could have squeezed in 7.5s like Safety Last!, Three Loves and Der Absturz. I really should rewatch the first of those 3 though, and I have been meaning to rewatch Cœur fidèle for years (and Three Sided Mirror), as I generally love Epstein. 1. ...
