My TOP 30 best movies of all time (part 2)

First topic : http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=361650

20. Métropolis, Fritz Lang
While I'm not fond of the moral undertone the movie sometimes has, there are so many great visual ideas that they are enough for the movie to work. It among many others inspired the excellent Blade Runner.

19. A Separation, Asghar Farhadi
The movie of 2011, the story of two iranians couples opposed by religion and social classes, and their reactions to difficult moral situation. Smart directing, marvelous acting and one of the very best scenario I've seen.

18. Le Plaisir, Max Ophuls
3 stories adapted from Maupassant. Everything about this movie is great, but the camerawork stands out : so much energy, speed, pleasure... The opening scenes of the two first stories in particular are masterpieces.

17. Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock
For me by far the best Hitchcock movie. Plot, acting and directing all come togethere to bring us a classic. Some famous scenes are unforgettable...

16. The Seventh Seal, Ingmar Bergman
The strange tale of a knight who plays chess against death to avoid it. The depth of this movie is obvious, but acting and directing are on par with the story : the squire, the dance, the stake...

15. Rocco and his brothers, Luciano Visconti
A great painting of Italy in the 1950s through the story of a poor family from the south. Beautiful photo, wonderful actors (Annie Girardot and Alain Delon...) and a compelling story about social condition and destiny.

14. Pépé le Moko, Julien Duvivier
A dashing gangster played by Jean Gabin is hidden in Algiers' casbah, but one day he meets a beautiful girl from Paris...
Dark story about life, love with poetic dialogue and wonderful acting. The casbah is also incredibly well rendered.

13. The Trial, Orson Wells
A masterful adaptation of one of my favorite novel. Worth it only for the parable "Before the law". Crazy camera angles, great acting, Orson Welles, what can you say...

12. Jules and Jim, Francois Truffaut
Two men, one French and one Austrian are very close friends, but they fall in love of the same woman.
A wonderful lively movie about a tragic question. Jeanne Moreau's performance is through the roof, and Truffaut's ideas for storytelling are just amazing.

11. Once upon a time in the West, Sergio Leone
My favorite Leone. So much more than a Western, a lesson of beauty and life. Great villain, incredible music, unforgettable scenes. And Claudia Cardinale...

This takes a long time to write on IPad, I'll finish the rest within two days :-)

Can tell you are a fan of more Art Form films and ground Breaking Films. While i have seen quite a few of what you posted and they are really good, I probably wouldn't watch them over and over again. Excited to see the top 10.

Well, the thing with cinema is that the art and enterttainment part are really interwined, which is why many more people give their opinion than on music for instance. I love entertainment movies too (Blade Runner, Terminator 2, Star Wars 5...) but they don't impact me the same way.
That being sait, I think that while The Seventh Seal is not an easy movie Jules and Jim or A Separation can be enjoyed really easily. And Once upon a Time in the West is really popular I believe.

Ooh, I think I watched more of these than your last 10. The Trial has been sitting in my watch list for quite a while now, gotta get that out of the way soon. I'll definitely check out the others. Can't wait to see what your top 10 are =P

The seventh seal is a phenomenal movie. Keep going, love this blog. Many of these movies I have seen myself and agree with you on their greatness. Some like the Rocco and Pepe films are on my to do list now thanks to you :D

I haven't seen anything but Once upon a time in the West, I actually haven't even heard of the others par The Seventh Seal which I was actually meant to watch a while ago but didn't.

Lost in Translation is about as artistic the movies I watch get. (lol)

I really like your list, we have similar tastes in film. I don't really know about Vertigo though, the end always ruined the entire film for me. Also, i can't believe i haven't watched "Once upon..." yet.

Only have seen two movies from your list: Metropolis and Once Upon a Time in the West. I found the first really boring to be honest. But Once Upon a Time in the West is amazing. What a great movie. Henry Fonda is simply a perfect villain. And the dialgues are golden (as it always the case in Sergio Leone movies).

@ Chairman Ray : I think I took more risks toward the end of my list, hope the top10 won't disappoint you !
@ surfinbird1 : thanks :-)
@ Vaelone : yes, i expect most people to only know about this one. For Lost in translation, a movie with such a start cannot be bad :-D
@ kusto : I understand your point on Vertigo, it can feel à little cheap. Personnally I don't really mind in this specific case because I think the rest of the movie still stands.
@ Lesbegue : it's funny because Once upon a time has plenty of moment that could be boring but stand out because of the imagery. Métropolis is just a bit more special I guess. As for the dialogue, I like this one more because the funny dialogues are less numerous, it only comes as a pause in tension, as a relief, not as a goal in itself. Compared to the good, the bad and the ugly, which is often liked more, somehow.
@WniO : never trust the trailer ! What kind of movie are you refering to ?

It's not an action movie, but there are events besides talking. It's a drama with a strong naturalist tone.

4m3w2d is such a terrible example for whatever you want to say ("idk like one of those nothing really happens just talk talk movi" doesn't really offer much), as there is so much going on in this movie...it's just conveyed more subtle. The dinner with the parents and guests at the birthday is a good example. You need to watch more carefully i guess...

I hope not. It's a nice example of (a) certain style(s) of editing and cinematography, but the movie itself is not really worth it. Or would you like this movie as much without all these stylistic methods that are used?

I think the movie is a bit overhyped, but it's a bad movie in any way.

I agree with you that it does not belong in a top 30 list, it is weird that it's placed so high in imdb
