2019-03-26 10:46:19 +0000 UTCI'm surprised how many of the movies on this list I've seen and love. Will have to watch the ones on the list I haven't seen yet.

2018-04-08 04:32:57 +0000 UTCWhat a fuckig incredible list, I have been working on my own 1000 movies list, it will be it's own website with graphic design pleasing to the Eye a la Edgar Wright's recent list. It's still probably a year from completion, maybe I'll share if for EZA second birthday, I personally cannot wait for this podcast :-)
Jason Presents
2017-04-14 16:26:52 +0000 UTCSecond one is right!
DaleBastion
2017-04-14 01:18:43 +0000 UTCI'm still unsure on the homework part of the podcast. is it going to be hey watch X movie after X movie was discussed? or is it Hey watch X movie and X movie will be discussed in the next episode? I would prefer the latter that way the viewers can have a genuine understanding of what is being discussed.

2017-04-13 13:21:26 +0000 UTCWeird. "The Skin I Live In" is fun, soapy schlock, but I can't imagine why anyone would put it as one of their top films. Especially considering the pretty exploitative approach to trans issues.
Fender-Belly Bodine
2017-04-13 10:45:23 +0000 UTCMy top 5: 1) Dumb and Dumber 2) Reservoir Dogs 3) Psycho (1960) 4) An American Tail 5) Into the Wild

2017-04-12 23:22:29 +0000 UTCThis ain't necessarily my top ten, but it's the ten most meaningful to me off the top of my head: A Night at the Opera (1935): Probably the 'best' Marx Brothers movie, even if I have a particular weakness for Monkey Business. Gregory’s Girl (1981): Perfect little Scottish high school rom-com. Casablanca (1942): The greatest film ever made - IT HOLDS UP. The Band Wagon (1953): Richly silly Fred Astaire musical. Old-time English song-and-dance-man Jack Buchanan steals the show. O Brother Where Art Thou (2000): More consistently entertaining than any other Coen Bros film. The Empire Strikes Back (1980): I don't think any other film did as much to shape my imagination as a child. The Last Waltz (1978): The gold standard for filming live music. The Dam Busters (1955): The scene of the raid itself is a masterpiece of tension, clearly influential on the Death Star raid in A New Hope. Look Both Ways (2005): Aussie independent film that I studied in high school - just a beautifully put together movie. The 39 Steps (1935): Hitchcock's first great work, set the tone for his later work. Honourable mentions: The Lady Vanishes (1938), My Man Godfrey (1936), Rio Bravo (1959), Top Hat (1935), The Shop Around the Corner (1940), The Golem: How He Came Into the World (1919), A Hard Day’s Night (1964), The Two Towers (2002)

2017-04-12 22:46:18 +0000 UTCGreat list Ian! No Country for Old Men is an incredible film
Garrett Walker
2017-04-12 22:16:07 +0000 UTCIts cool to see The Game get some love on your list and Zodiac on Hubers. 2 underrated Fincher films. The only thing the Allies (Not me) wish you to fix up is the typo where you spelled 'Shrek' as the Princess Bride
Steven Beaumont
2017-04-12 22:12:35 +0000 UTCI am surprised that I think I have more in common with Ian's list than Huber's.
Dale Payne
2017-04-12 22:12:31 +0000 UTCConsidering how often Ian quotes Jurassic Park, I'm shocked to see it's not in the top 10! My day is almost made a little brighter each time I hear Ian randomly/sporadically quote Jurassic Park.

2017-04-12 21:53:23 +0000 UTCNice. Holy Motors one of my favorites in the last few years.
Daniel Ray
2017-04-12 21:41:24 +0000 UTCCoen Brothers really are the best ever. a+ list

2017-04-12 21:38:22 +0000 UTCYes Ian, yes. Good taste. Hyped for the movie podcast. Surprised Tarantino didn't make the cut.
Gan Khef
2017-04-12 21:33:38 +0000 UTCgreat list, a lot of overlap with my personal favorites. i haven't even heard of upstream color but i am gonna watch it as soon as i can.
David
2017-04-12 21:31:52 +0000 UTCCorrection you had a mistype of Princess Bride instead of Shrek
Garrett Kuenzi
2017-04-12 21:26:31 +0000 UTCNo Country's antagonist is still one of the most terrifying characters i've ever seen. I was genuinely unsettled by how unpredictable and lethal he was. Incredible stuff
Steven Blomkamp
2017-04-12 21:16:00 +0000 UTCThe top ten are so good, they're also tied for 11th!
