Sideways 2004
The Master 2012
Nightcrawler 2014
Bridge of Spies 2015
Diego Maradona 2019
The Lighthouse 2019


Not much of a top 200 when you aren't fussed about more than 50

remind me again what your criteria is for your list?

just being great.
consider a bit of everything in that.
i'm surprised myself looking at some of those films tbh. i thought the 200 was more competitive than that.
i can see a few more than 5 going as I have some handy reserves.

I liked Nobody 2. Premise isn't as interesting after the first one but the premise takes about 30 seconds to get your head around anyway. Was fun

I got it down to these:

Blackmail 1929
Earth 1930
Port of Shadows 1938
Sanshiro Sugata 1943
Key Largo 1948
Homecoming 1984
Pulp Fiction 1994
The Master 2012
The Lighthouse 2019


I need to give 6 places up and there's 9 these, so that leaves a max of 3 slots if all the above drop out, and the reserves are these:

Stella Maris 1918
Daybreak Express1953
Il Grido 1957
In the Heat of the Night 1967
Once Upon a Time in the West 1968
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 1969
The Andromeda Strain 1971
The Godfather ii 1974
The Terminator 1984
Blue Velvet 1986
Il Postino 1994
Hoop Dreams 1994
Gladiator 2000
The Lives of Others 2006
Inglourious Bast*rds 2009
Argo 2012
Django Unchained 2012
Roma 2018

Speaking of Hanks, I'm watching Castaway for the first time. Somehow never seen it all the way through.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wilson scene at sea gets me every time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Man.. a famous scene of course but hits differently when you're watching the whole movie

Yeah was silly mindless fun. Anyone watched Novocaine? I'm told it's a bit like Nobody.

Yep, it's a decent Sunday afternoon watch. Heck would even put Head of State into this list too worth a watch, just brainless fun.

I've got rid of 6 from the existing list, getting me down to 200, and I still have the following potential further drop outs:

Pulp Fiction 1994
The Master 2012
The Lighthouse 2019

and the following potential replacements:

Daybreak Express 1953
The Terminator 1984
Hoop Dreams 1994
Inglourious Bast&rds 2009
Django Unchained 2012

basically I can include 3 of the above 8 films.

That's a half-decent question actually, what classic movies have you not seen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mainly musicals,

The Sound of Music and Singin' in the Rain to name two.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think I've seen Sound of Music once all the way through. Quite like the songs but wouldn't watch the whole thing again.

Didn't watch some classics like Schindler's List and the first Godfather until a couple of years ago
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was actually put off watching SoM by the scene in Airplane where the bloke says, get me the names of anyone whose watched SoM more than 40 times

I put on A Street Car Named Desire a couple of weeks ago. Marlon Brando so this is probably movie blasphemy but I found it mundane tbh.

Hold on, first Godfather? So you'd watched Godfather 2 before?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Haven't seen Godfather 2 at all! To my great shame.

Airplane should be considered a classic, what a film
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate you got to watch that asap. Some ppl think it's better than the first. Not for me but still a superb film.

Then again, depends if you liked Godfather lol.

ore whut classic moovies halve u scene that u thort were sheeeeeet?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd stick them in two categories - overrated and sheit.

Not all classics, some were popular at the time.

Overrated:
Get Out
Crying Game
Apocalypse Now

Sheit:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Blair Witch Project
2001 Space Odyssey
