This is the culmination of a year or so lingering about the message boards on IMDB. Mostly, the Best/Worst board, which is filled with some of the most bizarre people I can imagine.
I will just never, ever understand the mind of a person who actually thinks they can slap a "7" by the name of a movie and it will mean something. It seems as though the post-modern era has produced a generation of people completely lacking a sense of irony and self awareness. I read the posts of so many people vomiting out there arbitrary judgments of films and it makes me think of the "how to graph the merit of a poem" scene in Dead Poets Society. I do not mind a person having an opinion, but I reject any attempt to apply a numerical value to a piece of art.
Anyway, like most silent observers of behavior that disturbs me to death, I must admit that I also hold great affection for the complete lunacy of a person who would actually bother to take the time to watch 1000's upon 1000's of films, rate them, catalog them, and then regularly list and update these pointless lists they hold so dearly.
Anyway, this little list of my "Top 71 films of all time!" is my little tribute to the listmakers and armchair critics that can be found all over the "intarweb". I suspect that no one else in the world will be as amused by the bit as I am, but I am very amused, so fuck you.
My Top 71 Films of All Time!
I am pleased to make your acquaintance. If I have a claim to fame, it is my father, who is one of the oldest living persons in the US, as well as having founded the oldest film school in Alabama. He was an uncommonly cruel man, and although we are cordial now it is indeed ironic that we are more or less confined to the same domicile (myself by an emotional/medical condition that is perfectly normal. It is called agoraphobia). In any case, we are well cared-for and happy, though I cannot speak for Father, who has not moved much in many years. Nonetheless, he is well cared-for by our live-in nurse and as healthy as one can expect given his advanced age. I am led to believe that he is quite comfortable, considering. Here are my favorite 14 films (A note on my ratings system: These four and five star systems do little by way of true gradation. After long experimentation I have settled on a system of rating movies
from zero to 256,000 stars, thus allowing for maximum distinction between various moving pictures. For example, I give the delightfully edgy "The Night They Raided Minsky's" 191,638 stars out of a possible 256,000, whereas The Tamarind Seed rates a mere 191,637. In ordinary film-buff lingo, both would be so-called "three star" movies, thus robbing the viewer of the subtle distinctions of taste that only a 256,000-star system may bring):
1. A Global Affair (of course)
2. Pussycat Pussycat I Love You (underrated sequel/remake of What's New, Pussycat)
3. Singles (by Mr. Cameron Crowe, the Mel Shavelson of a new generation)
4. Call me Bwana... hilarious monkey credit sequence!
5. Casanova's Big Night
6. The Road to Bali
7. Critic's Choice
8. Greed (a famous silent movie that is supposed to be wonderful. I have seen some of it.)
9. Dropping Out... nuff said!
10. Interview with the Assassin... chilling.
11. Chapter Two... Neil Simon's wry and witty take on grief.
12. Meet Joe Black
14. Gildersleeve's Ghost
What is it in me that yearns for poignant comedy, often dealing with the afterlife and such? After all, Father raised me not to believe in organized religion, though I respect those who maintain that belief. Also, my lingering fear of the number "thirteen" is unusual, given the sensible way in which I was raised. I am delighted by this opportunity to acquaint you with my particulars. You fellow movie "buffs," whom I have never met, have opened a world to me heretofore unavailable by my unfortunate weight problem and the forementioned medical conditions. Thank you.
An addendum: Thanks to some kind advice from other persons on the film message boards, I have spent several hours researching the work of an actress called Jennifer Love Hewitt. As a result, I have added one of her films, "Munchie," ; to my "Best of all Time" list. Without further ado, I give you:
15. Munchie
I will take this opportunity to apologize for the antics of my nurse, which are more fully elucidated on my favorite message board, that of the 1964 classic "A Global Affair" (see above). In any case, as you can see I am quite vigorous and healthy, and ready to list a few more of my "faves"!
16. Star! -- First of all, I love any film with an exclamation point in the title... secondly, Julie Andrews with a cockney accent! Need I say more?
17. Memoirs of an Invisible Man
18. Something Short of Paradise -- the screen's most delightful romantic pairing since Bob Hope and Yvonne DeCarlo: David Steinberg and Susan Sarandon! Huzzah!
19. Anything "awesome" and "cool" about raising and caring for kittens. Suggestions welcome!
20. Going Ape! (1981) My few misgivings about this film can be viewed at the Going Ape! message board. For one thing, a spiffier title would help distinguish it from the inferior 1970 version!
21. Pacific Heights... I am not complaining about my life (which is much better than it was when I wrote that first paragraph!) but now that I am in a new apartment I find that my upstairs neighbors march up and down like an army all night over my head, causing my little kitten and I to lose sleep! Anyway, perhaps that is why I have grown to love "Pacific Heights" for its cathartic aspect -- as well as the riveting central performance of a villainous Michael Keaton. Sublime!
22. "The Great Rupert." The best movie ever featuring a squirrel... except for "Dropping Out," that is! Anyway, I don't know why I enjoy squirrel movies so much lately. Perhaps it is because they remind me of my new kitten!
23. "Home Alone II: Lost in New York"... Poignant. Luminous. Featuring as its cornerstone a wonderful comic performance by my third favorite comedian of all time, Eddie Bracken, as the jaunty old toy store owner. And I dare you not to shed a tear as Catherine O'Hara looks out of the rain-splashed window and wonders where her son can be! Iconic. Masterful.
24. The Wackiest Ship in the Army
25. Edison's "The Sneeze"... I saw the revival, mind you!
26. Robin Hood: Men in Tights... not to be confused with a serious Robin Hood movie! I should know! I made the same mistake three times, and wondered why there were so many "flaws" in this film. Turns out it's a hilarious "spoof" with fine performances from iconoclasts like Dave Chapelle and Dom Deluise. Riveting!
27. 200 Cigarettes
28. It Happened at the World's Fair
29. Collision Course... Jay Leno + Pat Morita = laughs galore, and topnotch action too!
30. The First Wives Club
31. The Godfather
32. Li'l Abner
33. BASEketball... a classic from the weisenheimers who brought us "The Southern Park Program"! (which I intend to see some day). From what I understand, they dare to be politically incorrect, while everyone tries to force them to be politically correct! I do not know what either term means, but I have heard that it is very daring and delightful to be the former! Such bravery is indeed rare in our troubled times... and perhaps nowhere is this conundrum better illustrated than in the comedy high jinks of BASEketball!
33b. An addendum: I have just seen "The Southern Park Program" for the first time, and these fellows are guilty as charged... guilty of being deliciously outrageous, that is! Why, they made a joke about French people enjoying Jerry Lewis! I have never encountered such a bold reference in all my days! The subtext was rife with irony! I love Jerry Lewis as well, so I was pleased to see this "tip of the hat" -- though to the uninitiated, such skewering of popular culture might "blow one's mind." If that is called "politically incorrect," then add my name to that outrageous list!
34. The Geisha Boy
35. Hollywood Palms... in which a rascally skunk observes the ups-and-downs of "yuppies" in love. Charming! Blistering satire.
36. Dharma and Greg... I believe this is a TV series that is currently popular with the young folk. I base my deduction on the fact that it comes on at 4am here, a time when only young people are enjoying television! I realize that Dharma & Greg is not technically a movie, but don't forget that if you line it up end to end, Dharma & Greg lasts for many, many, many, many, many, many hours, which is longer than a movie. Anyway, I don't have to justify my favorite movies to you! I am sorry I got so emotional just then; I did not mean to snap. But my point is a valid one, and I let it stand.

38. Spies Like Us
39. View From the Top
40. Hamlet (1948)
41. Anything with Michael Ian Black, the subversive underground cutting edge cutie pie comedian who appears on the cutting edge subversive underground networks VH1 and NBC. On VH1 he applies his pitch-dark wit to unlucky targets such as New Coke and friendship bracelets. Truly, no one is safe from his barbed tartness! And that is how it should be. The object of comedy is to "stick it to the man," something Michael's dry quirkiness does to perfection! I have not seen any of his films.
42. The Night They Raided Minsky's
43. The Tamarind Seed
44. A Countess In Hong Kong (I may have the title wrong, and in fact I may be thinking of another movie completely.)
45. Night on Earth - I have not seen this apparent remake of "A Global Affair," but its pedigree alone affords it a place of honor herein. 182,442 out of a possible 256,000 stars. Kudos to all involved in the making of this timeless masterpiece! Watching it is on my "to do" list... as soon as I repair my DVD playing device, that is!
46. Local Hero - this "indie" gem rates an even 180,000 stars! I have not seen it.
47. The Accidental Tourist
48. Bio-Dome - As you know, I have never seen a movie that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Bio-Dome, however, gave me feelings quite close to revulsion. I rate it, however, at 177,214 stars on my 256,000-star scale, for reasons I will now attempt to explain. Not being familiar with the works of Mr. Paul Shore, I was taken aback by his crude antics. I had to remind myself that Mr. Shore was young when he made the film, and has now, no doubt, gone on to much better things... which I am quite eager to view! What impressed me most about Bio-Dome, though, was the craftmanship that went into the production. Other cast members, when faced with Mr. Shore's (and a certain Mr. Baldwin's) quite bizarre - purposefully surreal, I am inclined to think - antics, reveal the true pinnacle of the acting process: they smile and otherwise cavort (the masterful Henry Gibson, especially, gamely widens his magnificent blue eyes in an aping of childlike marvel) as Mr. Shore and Mr. Baldwin prattle and gesture in ways that can only be meant to grate and offend. Bear in mind, now, that art is sometimes intended to rattle our complacency. This Bio-Dome does with a rare gusto and verve. Therefore I am quite willing to assume that Bio-Dome is a movie I will "grow into," which I intend to do by watching it every day for the rest of my life (along with another certain comedy dealing with issues of world importance!). Sometimes, as Mr. Shore's performance reminds us, the rawness of youth is a bracing substitute for the dull yoke of competence.
49. An American Werewolf in Paris
50. Smoke
51. Blue in the Face
52. Coffee and Cigarettes - This may or may not be several films of which I have not heard. Delightful! 176,600 stars!
53. The Insider
54. Benjamin Smoke
55. The Magnificent Ambersons
56. Tennessee Tuxedo - the greatest of Tennessee Williams adaptations, this one about a rascally penguin with the voice of Don "Don Adams' Screen Test" Adams. It was not a movie. My 56th favorite movie! 176,510 stars!
57. Maximum Overdrive - for me, an exploration in a different genre (horror) of the plea for universal human understanding in A Global Affair (1964). Witness, for example, the waitress' plaintive lament to the electrical revolutionaries in question: WE MADE YOU! WE MADE YOU!
58. Don Adam's Screen Test -- Perhaps I have misplaced the apostrophe... just the sort of irreverence the wily Mr. Adams (a friend of that late night subversive wag Craig Kilborn, and of similarly "cutting edge" stock) would appreciate... if he is indeed among the living. Don Adams' Screen Test (There! I have covered all the bases apostrophe-wise) was of course a television show and not a movie. But I believe that the numerous movie clips of classics such as "Mildred Pierce" (which I have never seen except in clip form on Don Adams' Screen Test) qualify it as one of my favorite films, if only by osmosis.
59. Mildred Pierce
60. Howard's End
61. The Crying Game - an important film. Had I seen it earlier, it might have saved me some embarrassment in what turned out to be an unorthodox relationship. I am at liberty to say no more.
62. JFK - This film introduced me to the comedic timing of America's latter day Bob Hope, Brian Doyle-Murray. Superb!
63. "The Passion" - I am not too familiar with the plot of Mel Gibson's latest romantic comedy, but I will say that passion + Mel Gibson + a charming leading lady (the wonderful Valerie Harper, perhaps? That is only a guess!) + comical misunderstandings is sure to = big laughs galore! I am confident enough in the skills of the filmmakers involved (especially the sadly underrated Ms. Harper) that I have no trouble in predicting a comedy smash - AND a solid # 63 on my coveted list. Kudos!
64. Charro!
65. Tugboat Annie Rides Again - Interesting trivia fact: The real name of this movie is Tugboat Annie Sails Again! Use that "tidbit" on your friends. They'll thank you for it!
66. Torque
67. You Got Served
68. Soul Plane
69. Crossroads - I am familiar with the kabbalistic works of the authoress Britney Spears, so I assume this work is a documentary expounding the more complicated notions of Judaic mysticism. If so, it is my 69th "fave" film of all time! A must see!
70. The Coneheads... This is actually my second favorite movie of all time! But renumbering the entire list is beyond my physical capacity, as I remain remarkably obese and lethargic. I have only just seen the film for the first time. The cast is remarkable, featuring Oscar nominee Dan Ackroyd. One trembles nostalgically for a time when such a film could be called "junk" (as indeed it was upon its release). It is, honestly, so much better, more clever and acted with so much more gusto and spirit than today's tepid fare. And if it is wrong to find a hint of eroticism in the elegant and magisterial "honing" scene between the late Chris Farley and his nubile young conehead friend... then I stand accused. And plead guilty. To hilarity, that is!
71. The House of Mirth... worth watching for another fine Dan Ackroyd performance. He is no Brian Doyle-Murray, but nonetheless... superb!
I will just never, ever understand the mind of a person who actually thinks they can slap a "7" by the name of a movie and it will mean something. It seems as though the post-modern era has produced a generation of people completely lacking a sense of irony and self awareness.
