Any disparaging words (that is, anything less than four stars :)) about The Rules of the Game on HTF are guaranteed to call me up. In the earlier part of thread, there was discussion on the ROTG as in the following quote, and I humbly beg to reconsider. :)

Finally saw the Why Has Bodhi Dharma left for the East. I updated the scoreboard, but there may be mistake because it's been a while. Please check and let me know if there is any mistake. ------------------ http://www.geocities.com/ilian73/index.html My Life to Live "Cinema is truth 24...

Doug D, same thing happened to me with the above post. I submitted the post and was taken back to the thread, but my post wouldn't appear. I was wondering what, but it must be your long review that the forum couldn't swallow :) I absolutely agree with your interpretation and assessment of...

It happens that I wrote a review for Pierrot le fou Unfortuately, I haven't yet mastered the art of spoiler-free review. Be warned that it is SPOILERS GALORE (although in this case, you could avoid the worst of them if you skip the 2nd paragraph(plot summary) and the last two paragraphs...

Glad that you liked them. To be or not to be is surely one of those movies that strikes the balance betweence the farce and black comedy. And atmospheric Ugetsu, of totally different temperament from Kurosawa's epics, and equaliy great. About Hulot, there is also Mon Oncle. These movies are...

Scott, Welcome to the challenge! S&S stands for the monthly movie magazine from British Film Institute. This magazine holds every decade a poll of ten best movies from over 100 critics and academics worldwide. This list shows 131 movies with most votes. There are more discussion on the...

No, didn't see a new movie yet, but yesterday I learned to use "screen capture" program properly at last. I'm very excited. Expect to see the onslaught of screenshots from now on. Here are some of screenshots I got: Pierrot le fou ------------------ My Life to Live "Cinema is...

Tim, you only need to see 82 more films. :) I myself have been going slow, having seen only one movie. However, I did see Bicycle Thief over the weekend. Very powerful stuff. ------------------ My Life to Live "Cinema is truth 24 frames per second." - Godard My DVD Collection...

From Criterion Collection homepage:

Darren H, just mention it here, and I'll update the list. And about the color coding, Ivan the Terrible is actually available as Image DVD. I gave it purple color becuase Criterion is going to release it in Nov. I don't know about the transfer quality of this DVD. The same goes for His Girl...

Stephen, you had quite a day, he? A few words about the Rules of the Game. The important thing about this movie is that it is a farce in the best tradition of Beaumarchais's farces like "The Marriage of Figaro", whose adaptation this movie is more or less. In fact, the Rules of the Game is...

Evan and everyone concerned, I just wanted to clear up about this confusion abut S&S (Sight and Sound) list. There is no such thing as the official S&S top 100 list. All that S&S published is the list of polled critics (I think there are 113 of them) and their choices as top 10 movies ever...

I did my homework and saw the Nashville (1975) by Robert Altman. (I thought I was marking off both S&S and AFI list by watching this movie, and imagine my shock when I found out that Nashville is not on AFI list. I am back at zero. I guess I'll have to see Griffith) SPOILER WARNING I was a...

Evan, All the movies on the above list was chosen as the best 10 by at least three different critics. Theoretically, you could vote for Pokemon, and S&S would have published your choice (maybe with much chagrin :)) but to reach the rank of #127, it would have to be appear in two other...

Jarod, I forgot to comment about the Strike. Actually, I didn't see the Image DVD, but I just assumed that Criterion one would be better since Criterion said (I think) that there would be restoration. It's really nice to hear that Image DVD is a great quality. I have Image DVD for October...

Donald B, you are disqualified. :) Well, you could try to see all 131 if you can. Now don't tell me that you saw all of them! :) ------------------ My Life to Live "Cinema is truth 24 frames per second." - Godard My DVD Collection Cinema: seventh art

Jarod, your suggestion make more sense than the hairbrained scheme of mine - what I was thinking when I axed Sunrise? Thank you for informing me that Fox owns rights to Sunrise. Anyway, I edited my post so that now the goal is to see 100 (or 99) out of 131 movies. That's really nice since it...

Just to confuse people :), I thought I'd start this S&S 100 Movies HTF Forum Challenge just now. But seriously, many of these are really, really great movies! I think the following movies are generally easier to find than you might imagine although for some movies (well, for...
