Paste Magazine just issued their list of 50 Best WI Titles:
http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/l...x-instant.html
List can't be cut-and-pasted due to recaps on each title, so you'll have to click link but I will list top 10:
1 - Bicycle Thief
2 -Chariots of Fire
3 - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
4 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5 - The Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin 1925)
6 - Big Lebowski
7 - Chinatown
8 - True Grit (2010)
9 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
10 - Metropolis
Pretty predictable I guess.
As a matter of fact most of the list doesn't have any surprises, but I did see this one that I hadn't heard of before that I may try to watch:
34. Oldboy
Year: 2005
Director: Park Chan-wook
Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy is a mind-trip like no other, not to mention so violent it puts Quentin Tarantino’s flicks to shame. The film’s setup: a man thirsts for revenge and answers after he is held prisoner in a hotel room for 15 years, without ever knowing why. As the story movies from one bloody rampage to another, the film’s daring audacity gives away to a beating heart behind the madness. Packing a potent psychological punch, Oldboy is in a category all its own.—Jeremy Medina
Anyone see that? (Sorry if it's been discussed itt before - I may have missed it.)
