lists
So, the Village Voice critics poll ended up not being published this week as I expected, so I got a little bit of list withdrawal. For the hell of it, I pared down my current list of film "masterpieces" down to 100 films (which I haven't done for some time). I left one slot blank for one of two reasons (your choice): a) I put both parts of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible into one single slot, or b) I am about to finish Feuillad's Les Vampires and can't imagine what sort of massive fuck-up in the last few chapters would have to occur before I'd be unwilling to include it in the chosen hundred.

Acknowledged "problems"/"limitations" of the list (in other words, "yeah, I know, so don't even mention it, ok?"): too America-centric, too auteurist-canonical in influence, overwhelmingly comprised of films I've seen quite recently (this is almost always the case, though; I'm not too worried about it).

NOTE: Edited on 12.30.04 to remove Les Vampires from the list because I claimed that it wasn't on there. Now there should be 99 titles on the list, with the hundredth pending finishing Les Vampires or deciding whether or not Hold Me While I'm Naked merits a mentch.

NOTE #2: This list has been updated. The new, less reverent 100 can be found here.

Thanks. Another problem I should've acknowledged is that (and this will not sound quite the way I want it too) the list feels too "me." I think I've become so addicted to reading other people's lists that my own leaves me indifferent.

Yes, Decasia is pretty awesome. Have you seen the 7-minute coda, of sorts, "Light is Calling"? I've been lauding it as the Paradiso to Decasia's Inferno. That's the best compliment I can think of to praise it.

2. the problem (and it's a pleasant problem) with all of you "artofvision" folks compiling best of lists is that i'm bound to utilize them for ideas regarding "what to watch," and then if we stick to this ratings thing on fridays, i run the risk of poo poo-ing everyone's beloveds, should i not agree. i'm still thankful, nonetheless.

I'm a little skunked with pre-Xmas stuff to write anything new on it, but here's what I wrote back in '01, fwiw:

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg): Took me by surprise as much as it did almost everyone else, and I suspect that it affected most of its audience in the exact opposite way which they had anticipated, as well (and, since most people expect a certain type of film from Spielberg, the word-of-mouth turned vicious pretty damn quick). Here's a virtual collaboration wherein the best qualities of both auteurs involved (or poseurs, although I've gone post-post-modernism as far as my take on them goes, starting to think once again that both are very much worth their reps) managed to cancel out the worst qualities of the other's. Kubrick's hazy humanitarianism is given the breath of life by Spielberg's sentiment, and Spielberg's stunted investment in philosophical ambiguity is ripped open by Kubrick's insistent irony. As a result, the film bounds wildly in pace, tone, mood. It's this lumpy quality which is turning off viewers in droves (I, for one, could have done without Robin Williams' holographic encyclopedia, although even that turns out to be a nice red herring: a throwaway vision of technology fascinated by itself and, in that, a foreshadow of the film's denouement). But it's churlish to completely dismiss the film because some aspects fail when so many others like the scenes of domestic discomfort early in the film succeed on eerie levels. For example, I was unprepared for the deep reserves of sadness in what might have been an FX-grace note in any other Spielberg film: the robot Teddy Bear, an old toy, wise to the harsh realities of his existence as a v1.0 toy. And although more people probably threw their hands up in disgust before they washed them of A.I. when the narrator introduces the sequence 2,000 years into the future, who of those invested in the film's philosophical ironies can deny the film's final haunting curlicue? In the end, the only "human" form surrounded by extremely evolved alien-like mechas, David's plea to the blue fairy to make him a real boy has come as tragically true as possible.

I saw that over there, which is one reason I undertook (?) such a task yesterday while procrastinating over wrapping presents.

I must know what the eight cold fish, unsexy films on your list are. I assume that Blonde Venus isn't among them.

Deliberate and unfair exclusions such as all Best Picture/Director nominees/winners, some other things.

This, I presume, explains the absence of All That Jazz and The Grapes of Wrath, right?

"This, I presume, explains the absence of All That Jazz and The Grapes of Wrath, right?"

And SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, and CITIZEN KANE, etc.

I think MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW has other merits besides its sexiness.

You should restore your best-of lists. Maybe I'll reorganize mine by auteur. You know, go totally auteurist. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
