After much internal debate, I’ve finished my top twenty movie list. In order of preference, even. The up-to-date list is here (cool site, by the by) but if you’re too lazy to click through:
- Magnolia
- Days of Being Wild
- Brazil
- Casablanca
- City of God
- Bullet in the Head
- Miller’s Crossing
- Crash
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s
- Ronin
- Blue Velvet
- Goodfellas
- The General
- Dead Man
- Full Metal Jacket
- The Incredibles
- Taxi Driver
- Peking Opera Blues
- Glengarry Glen Ross
- The Grifters
Yeah, I like genre movies. Possibly I like guy movies too; be your own judge. Yes, Miller’s Crossing is the best Coen Brothers movie. I don’t know if Days of Being Wild is the best Wong Kar Wai movie, but it’s the best one I’ve seen — I understand that In the Mood for Love may supercede it when I finally see that, though. Crash is the best Cronenberg movie because it’s the best cast he’s ever had, although Videodrome is a very close #2.
There are indeed a lot of movies I haven’t seen.

I fail to comprehend.
Where is “Big Trouble in Little China” on that list? WHERE? WHERE?
People keep asking that. Maybe I’ll kick off Taxi Driver.
