What's more infuriating...

MICHAEL MANN'S TOP 10 FILMS

1. Apocalypse Now (Coppola, 1979)
2. Battleship Potemkin (Eisenstein, 1925)
3. Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941)
4. Dr Strangelove (Kubrick, 1963)
5. Faust (Murnau, 1926)
6. Last Year at Marienbad (Resnais, 1961)
7. My Darling Clementine (Ford, 1946)
8. The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer, 1928)
9. Raging Bull (Scorsese, 1980)
10. The Wild Bunch (Peckinpah, 1969)

He knocked Faust out for Avatar. (Could have been Last Year.. but to justify my anger I'll stick with the former assumption).




So he knocked out the best of the 10 for Avatar. Case closed - man's a tit.

I'd put it ninth. But bumping anything for Avatar is the behaviour of a tit.

 Does anyone remember Piles' anger at Frank Darabont's list? That was funny.

Maybe he thinks it's (ooo-errrr) controversial.  

Sorry, I don't need the Avatar thing to think he's a tit. I've suffered through his film work (and honestly, you're not going to win that one )

There's nothing wrong with liking Avatar. No it probably shouldn't be in a top 10, but it's still an entertaining and perfectly enjoyable movie.

I thought it was bad as you'd expect from a director whose only enjoyable film was a piece of plagiarism.

Going with the story being plagiarised has no bearing on whether you'd enjoy the film though? *ignores slight on Aliens as usual *

Although there are some great films on their list it pisses me off that they never put anything recent on there. It feels like they are majorly behind. Empire's lists, while perhaps having more questionable choices tend to be a lot more interesting to read and have a lot more variety.

 It's the only film of his I have any real time for. And he lifted it from Harlan Ellison, whose work I do like. I credit Ellison for The Terminator rather than Cameron.

But Ellison didn't direct it - good scripts don't necessarily mean watchable films?

True enough. But it is odd just how much I've disliked Cameron's career from that point on.

I don't think it's that much of a problem though. It's not a small committee of voters deciding the top 10. It's 800 people and they only get 10 votes each. I think it's natural for a lot of people for recent releases not to jump straight into their top 10.

Ooooh - almost there. Teasing some praise out of you for Cameron is like pouring treacle

He knocked Faust out for Avatar. (Could have been Last Year.. but to justify my anger I'll stick with the former assumption).




So he knocked out the best of the 10 for Avatar. Case closed - man's a tit.



He named Confessions his no11

I know Mann likes blue but that's ridiculous. Smurfs next?

Enjoyed going through the Director's lists but the critics lists are the same old story.

 Only just looked at the top 250, nice that the expanded list can answer criticisms related to recent films - Tree of Life, Turin Horse, Tropical Malady, Boonmee, There Will Be Blood, Wall-E, etc and horror - Eraserhead, Texas Chainsaw, Don't Look Now, Vampyr, Nosferatu, The Shining

 The full critics list is fascinating, if not only for the odd African/Asian I haven't seen that has caught my interest.

Here comes the Bresson parade...seriously did all his films just get a place in the top 250?!

And where's Naruse? 1 in the top 250 (a good choice with Floating Clouds none-the-less) and only 1 person voted for The Sound of the Mountain 49 voted for Balthasar! 24 voted for Pickpocket! 23 for A Man Escaped! 12! FUDGIN' 12!! for that atrocity The Devil, Probably!! yet only 1 for Sound of the Mountain! Repast isn't even mentioned. How do you sleep at night knowing your top 10 contains The Devil, Probably?

Conspiracy
