In fact many of these I didn't see until late last year- just found all the movies I loved a little late, I guess. Sleepers has been there the longest: for about 6 years now, and I doubt it will ever change. I wouldn't hesitate to call it one of the finest of its decade, but maybe that's just me :pMark Woollonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072777957640381767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-62457368310771987292015-09-01T11:37:00.809-04:002015-09-01T11:37:00.809-04:00It IS really funny how time can change/alter taste...It IS really funny how time can change/alter tastes.

There's just something about it, man.<br /><br />I've been working on my 11-20 for quite some time. It's a strange thing, those lists. I completed it, but then realized The Godfather nor Part II was listed. Even though I love both of those movies, it's so strange that I wouldn't instinctually put at least one of them in my Top 20. So I don't know... I need to let it sit for a little while longer, see how I feel about it. But I'll get it out there soon, for sure.

WELL, I'M BACK AND TELL YOU WHAT...<br /><br />I JUST WATCHED PERSONA THE OTHER DAY, SAW IT FOR THE 3RD TIME NOW AWHILE AGO, man...<br /><br />I WANNA PUT IT NOW IN MY TOP 10. IT WAS SUCH AN OTHERWORLDLY, BIZARRE EXPERIENCE. UTTERLY FLAWLESS. No one can really dissect the film other than its creator, like you said, but... there's something in it that won't let me go. I can't explain yet, what that is, but everything about the picture is just spellbinding; the characters, cinematography, them words - the conversation, those distortion, constructed images. I love it man. I love it. <br /><br />Yep, looking forward to your 11-20 soon! I've been working on my Top 10 for like 3 years, lol! I'll share mine here soon! :) And there's no Exorcist, The Godfather Part 2, Gravity, Children of Men anymore... but CLASSICS. :) I've been enjoying this site since I discovered it last year. Thanks for following me back on Letterboxd too! Name's "Dom Franc" in there. Hehehe.

What a truly great sentence. Love that. The Exorcist is such a powerful and haunting film. Never gets old.<br /><br />Love hearing that you have an active interest in Bergman's films. His movies changed me, and I'm indebted to them to this day. For me, Persona is the top. I mean, holy shit, what a head trip.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.

Targeting "Persona", Wild Strawberries" and "Cries and Whispers" as well. Anyways, here's mine:<br /><br />#1 Schindler's List<br />Gravity<br />The Passion of Joan of Arc<br />Jurassic Park<br />The Exorcist<br />The Godfather Part II<br />Children of Men<br /><br />Still working on my Top 10. Wanna discover more, wanna learn more. I grew up mostly with Spielberg films, "Jurassic Park" inspired me to become a filmmaker someday whilst "Schindler's List" led me to the world of cinema. If Dinosaurs was my childhood fantasy, "The Exorcist" was my childhood nightmare. It never gets old. I loved Cuaron works, also. Hitchcock too, Scorsese, Tarantino and etc. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341349233129816964noreply@blogger.com
