I wonder if they would work in European players. At least Caligula has his shopping list made out now.

I’ve seen 51 of those, and not all of them were good (Pulp Fiction and Bonnie and Clyde are two of the worst movies I’ve ever seen).

That list isn’t really for my crowd anyway, only a tiny handful of foreign or silent films were on there. The Sight and Sound list is more my thing.

I was surprised - I’ve seen 37 movies on the list.
I noticed the war comedy, “Apocalypse Now” somehow made the list.

NOTE: DOUBLE PING TO ABBREVIATED END TIMES, DREAMS, VISIONS, PROPHECY *and* ABBREVIATED UFO ping lists. Both are medium frequency ping lists of their respective genre.

HOWEVER,

PLEASE BE AWARE . . .

VIRTUALLY ALL THE SCIENCE FICTION FLICKS OF THE LAST 60 YEARS

HAVE A FAIRLY HEAVY PROPAGANDA LOAD CARRYING WATER FOR THE GLOBALIST OLIGARCHY AND THEIR CONSTRUCTIONS ON REALITY THAT THEY EXPECT ALL CITIZENS OF THE PLANET TO SUBSCRIBE TO.

THIS IS TRUE OF ALL MY FAVORITES OF THE GENRE.

Even THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL does the same thing.

Some, if not most, of such films had seed money and/or script input from the oligarchy to begin with.

They can be great entertainment and enjoyable by one and all. However, that makes the propaganda go down all the slicker and reside in the brain all the more unshakably. I say that as a psychologist and a sociologist. Add in the group think aspect and it’s a grand achievement of the oligarchy.

Can’t take any movie list seriously without “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe”

How could they leave out Zulu?

Colour Sergeant Bourne: It’s a miracle.
Lieutenant John Chard: If it’s a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it’s a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle.
Colour Sergeant Bourne: And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind.

Brazil.

In a few years, it'll have to be reclassified as a documentary though.

Although it appear light and entertaining, Princess Bride is an almost perfectly-told tale and, IMO, deserves to be in any list at least 50 movies long.

Too early to be included, but the most recent almost perfectly-told tale is Benjamin Button. It is virtually seamless.

I've seen 78 of these.

They also left “Pootie Tang” off the list. :)

How did they miss “Plan 9 From Outer Space?” I'm sure we could add hundreds to this list. For those interested, keep an eye on this site as I'm sure they're going to get an earful about certain films not included on the list and make a new one in response.

I’ve seen 73 of these movies (but I used to work in hollywood where watching movies was the daily activity of everyone in and out of the biz.)
