Apolyton Movie Madness

[Tingkai]

Here are mine:

Brazil (the original version, not the crappy happy ending one)
Apocalypse Now (The original version)
Annie Hall
Life of Brian
The Matrix (I think it is great now, but in 10 years, I don't know)
Aliens (that's the second one right?)
Amores Perros (Brilliant Mexican film)
The Usual Suspects
Metropolis
Happiness (Sick, but man is it ever funny).

Brazil was incredibly trippy.

It's like a movie version of 1984... on acid.

I just saw it on TV the other day. Pretty good. It's got Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in it.

A lot of good movies have been mentioned already. I'll just add these two:

Memento
Princess Mononoke
The Godfather

I noticed also that somewhat understandably the lists so far are pretty modern... then again, so was mine, so I decided to add The Godfather which I'm frankly surprised to see it not already mentioned. There are probably some other good old movies I'm missing as well.

there are no restraints on the movies you can nominate although the ones with the most nominations will be put on the ballot....
so like..my ghostbusters 2 nomination....no one else is gonna vote for that ...so i bet it won't make the cut.
i figure that we may have to have some wild card voting too to see which of the nominations with ties on the borderline make it in.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Does no one else love the classics? I threw on one recent film for good measure, but in general I think the last two decades of moviemaking have been truly lame compared with the past. None of these are likely to make the final cut, but I can't resist. Alphabetically:

Annie Hall
Brazil
Bringing Up Baby
Casablanca
Chinatown
Citizen Kane
8-1/2
GoodFellas
Nashville
O Brother Where Art Thou
