Posted by Danonormal Activity (aka dano) Sep 22 '09, 12:45

1) The Night of the Hunter
2) Citizen Kane
3) Badlands
4) L'Atalante
5) Blood Simple
6) They Live By Night
7) The 400 Blows
8) Night of the Living Dead
9) The Maltese Falcon
10) Performance

It's a multi-page list so I may have missed some correct answers on B2 (www.timeout.com)

Apparently, being so bad that Uwe Boll can't even aspire to reach your level of horridness is considered "strikingly original." - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 22, 13:00
Great list (but I hate that I can't read these in ascending order) -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 12:53
*still stubbornly maintains that Terrence Malick is overrated* -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 12:49 16
- I disrespectfully agree. nm - Dignan Sep 22, 12:52 4
  - I'm trying to imagine how that'd go down. "See, even a f***ing idiot like crash can see Malick is overated!" (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 12:56 3
    - he agrees, but won't respect me - because then I'll tell him one of his fave directors is overrated too -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 12:59 2
      - Oh, I understand the concept, I'm imagining the execution. (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 13:01
      - I think Brett Ratner is rated about right -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 13:00
- I've mentioned this before, but at The Thin Red Line, there were some kids in front of me talking during the movie. - Reagen Sep 22, 12:51 4 1
  - I can partly forgive him for that because it was obvious to even me that the studio had cut so much that the movie didn't make sense -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 12:59 1
    - imo, it hadn't cut enough -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 13:00
  - if you've told me that before, I've forgotten - I like it :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 12:52
  - heh. I'm with Dano, but this is pretty funny -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 12:51
- /me loves me some Malick -- nm - Danonormal Activity Sep 22, 12:50 5
  - I like movies that include 30-minute nature documentaries too. -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 12:51 3
    - you're probably being facetious, but if not, check out "Home" - gorgeous gorgeous movie -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 12:52 2
      - I am being facetious, but I do enjoy nature documentaries. - Roger More Sep 22, 12:57 1
        
        Yes! wish I could have caught it in theaters - very stunning visuals -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 13:00
  - well I suppose he doesn't have as many side effects as Ambien -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 12:51
I don't understand Night of the Living Dead here. and Badlands was good, but not #3 good -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 12:49 3
- Don't you know that zombies are the new bacon? -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 12:54
- Well it was Romero's first and it was groundbreaking when it came out pretty much. -- nm - Jovian Sep 22, 12:52 1
  - It remains a huge influence to this day. nm - Dignan Sep 22, 12:53
*gives Time Out a time out* - shamu Sep 22, 12:48
i'm stunned no-one said Say Anything. -- nm - Andie Sep 22, 12:48 2
- (by no one, you mean me, don't you?) - Callisto Sep 22, 12:48 1
  - well, you *would* be the most likely candidate. -- nm - Andie Sep 22, 12:49
No 12 Angry Men is crazy. -- nm - Inigo Sep 22, 12:47 3
- Angry Men got 11th? - 2-0 Sep 22, 12:47 2
  - Joke fail, but it's not even in the top 50. Although Airplane at 12 warms my heart. -- nm - Inigo Sep 22, 12:53

    - i didn't jinx nuthin -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 12:52 1
      - Take responsibility for your jinx-iness! (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 12:54
