I was very bored so I took all my 5-star ratings on Netflix and scored them on four categories (Plot, Cinematography, Acting, and Screeplay), then totaled the scores and ranked the results. In ties I ordered them by my preference or things besides what I scored on. "Jim Jarmusch" and "Julian Schnabel" means all of their films collectively.

01. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 10 / 9.5 / 10 / 10 ................... 39.5

Cool list. I haven't seen a lot of those...like Pi, There Will Be Blood, Oldboy, Delicatessen, and Virgin Suicides.

I should really get on seeing some of those.

B = yes, movie was incredible

B = yes, movie was great

B = agree with your ranking

B = disagree

Some points:

I thought Reservoir Dogs deserved at least a 9 for acting. Come on, Steve Buscemi, and Harvey Keitel

I also really just hated No Country for Old Men

And I couldn't even finish Mulholland Drive, but I guess it's really just David Lynch's style. I'm not saying it's bad at all, but personally It kinda makes me extremely uneasy and even nauseous at times, if that's possible...

Besides that, I basically agree with all of it

Yes, I think most people have a love or hate relationship with David Lynch's filmography

Also, I like that "Magnolia" is on your list. I find most people seem to have a love/hate thing for that movie, probably because of how weird certain aspects of it are and how unbelievable the concept of "coincidence" really is.

But I think it's great.  :3

I'm really ambivalent about it. On one hand it's just kind of stupid and a lot of parts are annoying, like raining frogs, but on the other hand it's just really well-done. One of those movies I liked a lot the first time but don't watch again for fear of hating it.

I dunno, I thought the raining frogs thing was pretty cool, and it was a great way to sum up the whole "interlocking coincidences" thing that the movie is built on.

I left them out because while I would be forced to give them 9's and 10's because they're technical masterpieces (at leas the first one), but I really actually don't like those movies very much. Same with a lot of other famous classics, like Citizen Kane.

I thought your movie list would be more obscure. Some great movies on there, thanks for the list. I've kind of set a goal to watch at least 150 movies this year (2009.)

Thanks. I have Oldboy but I've been kind of putting it off. Might see it within the next week. I guess they're remaking it, probably be horrid.

The Shining would be on my list.

Oldboy is magnificent. I doubt it will make it as a remake, the story doesn't work if it's not Asians.

If I could remember all the great movies I've seen the list would be more obscure, but the flaw in it is that the list is made from 5-star ratings on Netflix, which is not necessarily every movie I'd rate 5 stars, like indie movies I saw in a theater two years ago and forgot about or random other things I never rated. None of those would be in the top 10 or probably even 20, though.
