The FRFI 100 Movies To See Before You Die

mfrendo wrote:I just watched a movie that had been sitting on my shelf for like 4 years, due to it being long. Dogville w/ Nicole Kidman (who is quite surprising). This movie needs to be added to this list. I just saw it and I can say that it's probably in the top ten (and possibly 5) films I've ever seen. Completely original, and highly intelligent.

Frendo, interesting bit here.
Actually, I see "Dogville" as the only good film by Lars Von Trier. I generally loathe the Danish filmmaker's work, probably one of the most arrogant ground of work ever built, but I must say that "Dogville" was a pleasant surprise. I don't love the film, but it is definitely watchable, and really interesting in its visual sobriety.

So far this is every movie that's been mentioned:

Everything else has already been mentioned.

It is my suggestion that at some point, we need to stop accepting nominees, and have everyone who wishes to participate create a list of their own 100, not in any order, and then resubmit it here. It would be a good starting point. It would eliminate any film that no one puts on their own top 100, and would give us a good idea of the films that show up repeatedly and will certainly make the list. We could figure out the next step from there. That makes the most sense to me.

Is that the original Bad News Bears or the remake??

Haha, which do you think?

Its the original. My taste isn't that bad.

I figured but it's just nice to clarify.

So far I count between 12-16 players interested in doing this, anyone else? What do people think about my idea?

I'm game for whatever. I think this is a great idea and really can't wait to get started. I can name 100, 20, whatever my need to expand or contract my list too, it will be done.

I think most of the films that have a shot at making it have been mentioned, so if you want to start compiling a list of 100 from the master list (which needs to include Buscemi and my own additions) then go ahead and get started.

Updated list of nominees with a few more additions, this is up to 343 nominees so far.
