Re: Re: Best Talking motion Picture through the decades.

Me neither. I don't get Quentin Tarantino at all. Someone else said it perfectly: PULP FICTION is SEINFELD interrupted with spasms of violence instead of commercials.

He's a pretty divisive director. Some people love his stuff and rate it alongside Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorsese; or they wonder, like me, why anyone would bother to finish watching it. But for my friends, I would have walked out of KILL BILL halfway through.

 

Great Picks So Far.

English Language

Not necessarily the best but personal favorites:

30s - Scarface

40s - Murder, My Sweet (after Kane)

50s - Sunset Blvd.

60s - The Hustler

70s - Chinatown

80s - Goodfellas

90s - The Player

 

40s - CITIZEN KANE

50s - PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE

60s - MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE

70s - GODFATHER

80s - COLOR OF MONEY

90s - ROB ROY

00s - UNBREAKABLE

 

Ummmm...Ok, I'll try...

40s- tie, "Citizen Kane" and "Dumbo"

50s- "Blackboard Jungle"

60s- "Midnight Cowboy"

70s- "Last Picture Show"

80- "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", or maybe "Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade"

90s- "Beauty and the Beast" by Disney. Runner up: "The Crying Game".

Ok, flame me.

That would roast your duck avatar.

Last Picture Show is top drawer. IMO

 

Without thinking about it too hard:

40s: Casablanca
50s: The African Queen
60s: 2001: A Space Odyssey
70s: The Godfather
80s: Local Hero
90s: Fargo

The 70s were THE golden decade, in my book.

 

...subject to change overnight:

30s - Gone With The Wind
40s - Citizen Kane (The Third Man & Casablanca very close)
50s - Rear Window
60s - To Kill A Mockingbird
70s - Star Wars
80s - Raiders Of The Lost Ark
90s - Forrest Gump
00s - The Fellowship Of The Rings

 

Re: Re: Best Talking motion Picture through the decades.

I'm right there with you - nice to hear someone else admit it! I liked Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, The Usual Suspects, etc., but just never took a liking to any of the characters in PF, which is key to liking a movie...

Yeah me to, great cinema days!

 

Ben Johnson was pretty cool !

 

30's: GONE WITH THE WIND
40's: CITIZEN KANE
50's: NORTH BY NORTHWEST
60's: 2001
70's: APOCALYPSE NOW!
80's: RAGING BULL....very honorable mention btw (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover)
90's: PULP FICTION....very honorable mention to 1990's GOODFELLAS.
00's: AI


**count me in as one who got Pulp Fiction and loved it from get go. I was just blown away by that movie...so many classic scenes...such dialogue....the comeback of a life-time (John Travolta).
How did FORREST GUMP beat PULP FICTION that year for Best Film Oscar?

and how did GOODFELLAS lose?

 

There's no way I can narrow it down to one per decade...

 

Good topic!

'30s: The Wizard Of Oz
'40s: Citizen Kane
'50s: Rebel Without A Cause
'60s: To Kill A Mockingbird
'70s: Rocky
'80s: Back To The Future
'90s: American Beauty
2000s (so far): Almost Famous

 

American Beauty was a great 90's film. Loved it at the movies..a keeper on DVD.

 

Great topic. It's difficult indeed to give one per decade, but here are my favourites:

'30s: Duck soup
'40s: The Third man
'50s: Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot
'60s: Once upon a time in the West
'70s: Last tango in Paris
'80s: Paris, Texas
'90s: Silence of the lamb
'00s: Johnny English

 

True, but I tried to capture the essence of that decade.

Perhaps a Gort could set up poll

There is so many great films from previous years and hopefully some in the

21St Century yet to come.

Lets salute cinema!!!!


Roll cameras,action.................

What Mikey said!

 

The Godfather and Pulp Fiction should both be locks for their respective decades.

 

"GoodFellas" came out in the 90s...
