Indiana Jones has got to be on any good Top 100 list. It's the quintessential popcorn movie and a masterpiece at that.
TrueStar- That's a long list with a lot of classic films. I don't get much of a sense of identity coming through from them (apart from the abnormally high rating for Synecdoche New York
![Razz :P :P](/images/smilies/tongue2.gif)
). What makes a good movie for you and why did you select your top 10 as you did?
My idea of a great film is one has a strong, intense story about the human condition.
It doesn't have to be made the best, the story is always the most important part.
The films that stand out to me are the ones that literally move my soul.
I feel that by watching these films, the souls of the great filmmakers will help me shape my own stories and movies. Not only that, but they will help me be a better person and better understand the meaning of life.
it's all about passion.... a movie without passion is garbage! I don't care who makes it.....
When a film gives me the chills, I know it's one of the greatest ever made....
Synecdoche, New York is a brilliant film. I am too plagued by all the questions Caden Cotard asks himself during the movie. It's about a man afraid to accept his inevitable fate in life. He's afraid to love because he fears everything. He's constantly worried all the time about death, that it takes him away from the simple, beautiful things in life. It's a film about the meaning of life.....
I firmly believe it's the best film of the decade. It reminds me much of 8 1/2.....
