Since school is ending and I've got a lot of free time on my hands, thanks to the damn virus, I thought I'd start at the top of the
They Shoot Pictures Don't They list, and work my way down and watch any films I haven't seen in their top 100.
I've chosen TSPDT because that list is, by far, the most comprehensive of all the "best films" lists - even more so than the Sight and Sound list.
Here is their top 10:
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Rules of the Game
Tokyo Story
8 1/2
The Godfather
Sunrise
The Searchers
Seven Samurai
Surprisingly, I've never seen Tokyo Story or 8 1/2, so I will start with them. I may re-watch other films I haven't seen in many decades, though, like Sunrise and Seven Samurai, as well.
My goal is to get through ten films every week, depending on how many of them I haven't actually seen, so I will start with 4 films this week - the ones I mentioned above.
Anyone want to join me and watch the films you haven't seen before of the top ten this week? You can post your reactions, like I will, in this thread.
