@@AK-tw7uq that's correct yet applying the same metric why there is films like Once upon a time in the west, and The Good The bad and the ugly on the same list. Taxi Driver is missing, its at least in top 50
Taxi Driver is all time favourite of mine I expected it in the list and atleast one animation movie Shrek/The Road to ElDorado Also, Brokeback Mountain, Heat, Pursuit of Happyness were surely worth in this list too
I’m sorry there is something fundamentally wrong with this list. There is NO ANIMATION. This is nothing new in the industry where animation is not respected on the same level as live action film. I know this is your personal list and you probably didn’t mean anything bad by it, but next time I would consider animation. Animation has definitely pushed the medium of film to new heights.
Agreed. But this is for him and filmmakers because he dosent make animations. Although there is definitely animation films out there which could help any filmmaker
I really like this list, even though I wouln't include films like "Scream", "Munich" and "Halloween". Still need to watch many films you mentioned. I would also add: - Vertigo - Once Upon A Time In America - The Gold Rush - The Third Man - Heat - Babel - The Lion King - Blue Velvet - Terminator 2 - The Deer Hunter
I LOVED HOW YOU STOPPED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC...JUST TO PLAY THE THEME SONG FOR "IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE" BY ITSELF! I'm glad someone knows what's going on 😎
I would add (of course imo, and I'm definitely missing a bunch, so I'll do my best): - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by Luis Buñuel - Amores Perros by Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu - Ran by Akira Kurosawa - Cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore - Come and See by Elem Klimov - Au Hasard Balthazar by Robert Bresson - Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese - Play Time by Jacques Tati - Whiplash by Damien Chazelle - Wild Strawberries by Ingman Bergman - Memento by Christopher Nolan - Songs from The Second Floor by Roy Andersson - Incendies by Denis Villeneuve - The Seventh Seal by Ingman Bergman - Oldboy by Park Chaan-Wook - Last Tango in Paris - Bernando Bertolucci - Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron - Social Network by David Fincher - Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro - No Country for Old Men by The Coen Brothers - The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick - Do The Right Thing by Spike Lee - I Saw The Devil by Kim Jee-Woon - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance by Park Chaan-Wook - Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai - Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by George Lucas - Inglorious Bastards by Quentin Tarantino - Lady Bird by Greta Gerwick - Transformers by Michael Bay lol of course transformers is a joke, Transformers 2 is the real deal.

@TheMoon Yeah, you're totally right on that, they were pretty defining and challenged the genre at the time. I would also add Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist, and maybe Babadook, Possession and Hereditary to my list now that I think about it.
Hate to say but The Exorcist ('73), Rosemary's Baby ('68) and Chainsaw Massacre ('74) are way better, scarier and more ground breaking films than Scream and Friday the 13th.
Scream LMAOOOO. Hate to say but Scary Movie is better than Scream. This list is so dumb, they didn't include any work of Buñuel, Iñarritu, Bresson, von Trier, or Bertolucci. That's the problem with this kind of "The Best of" or "Watch before you die" lists, they always miss important works and add irrelevant/crappy stuff.
love your list ❤ but i would like to add: -The Seventh Seal (1957) -Lawrence of Arabia (1962) -War and Peace (1966-1967) -A Clockwork Orange (1971) -The Mirror (1975) -Taxi Driver (1976) -The Shining (1980) -The Empire Strikes Back (1980) -Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) -Back to the Future (1985) -Come and See (1985) -Silence of the Lambs (1991) -The Shawshank Redemption (1994) -Saving Private Ryan (1998) -The Pianist (2002) -Pan Labyrinth (2006)
Lawrence of Arabia was awesome, The Empire Strikes back was the best of the Star Wars series in my opinion. Raiders of the Lost Ark was great for action and effects but Harrison Ford is not a good actor, not by a long shot. That all being said I think Wolfcrow's list is more about conceptual films, not necessarily blockbusters.
I am from Kerala, India. Happy to see two Indian films in the list. I have a lot of watching to do. I have to see Sunrise, Stagecoach and Underground. I have watched almost most of these movies. I have also to rewatch some of them.
Fun Fact : Sholay is Inspired by this classic 'The Magnificent Seven' directed by John Sturges which was originally inspired by the Japanese film 'Seven Samurai'. (some people refer Inspired as Copy)
Sholay is not at all a masterpiece. It's good but I can't accept it as a masterpiece. I would rather go with Lagaan or Lunchbox or many other Hindi films

2 masterpieces everybody ought to see are The Saragossa Manuscript and The Hourglass Sanatorium, both directed by a Polish director - Wojciech Has. The Saragossa Manuscript is actually Francis Coppola's favourite film of all time. Has was a truly a genius on par with greats like Kubrick or Lynch and it's a shame he didn't manage to make more films during his lifetime.
@mc love me It's a shame really that not that many people know about those films. If it weren't for Scorcese's and Coppola's efforts to preserve Has' films perhaps they would be lost almost completely to the majority of the world. You might also want to check other Polish filmmakers like Zulawski or Wajda. Both of them also were absolute masters.
@@swann357 Although I strongly recommend watching great films at a cinema whenever possible, I believe you can find them on sites such as easterneuropeanmovies.com and BFI Player. If you search "(title of the film) watch online" in google you should find even more results. I was lucky enough to see them both on a big screen at one of the local art house cinemas.
I didn't count, but I'm estimating I've seen at least 90 of the films you've listed (I haven't heard of two or three, so I'll add them to my list). And what a surprise to see BLACK CHRISTMAS here, although I might have tossed in OPERA or SUSPIRIA (the original version). Great list!
Seriously everyone that is interested in filmmaking should watch all those movies before getting spoiled all the time through random Tutorials all over RUclips
Since you're talking Hitchcock, I would add The Trouble With Harry, it never gets enough respect, likely because it's kinda a light comedy, but it's superb, and beautiful, the color is amazing.
I would add PTA's The master, Lanthimo's Dogtooth, Nolan's Dunkirk,La Haine, Whiplash,The lighthouse,Thank you for smoking,The discreet charm of bourgeoisie, Kaufman's Synecdoche New York,Lars and the real girl.happy to see the works of Fritz Lang in this list.
These are the ones I didn't know: Sunrise It happend one night The color of pomegranates Les Diaboliques El topo Iruvar 94/100 not a bad score if i say so myself
@@jv8studios Mulholland Dr. - I'm a huge David Lynch fan. Although Kubrick IMO is the greatest of them all. Also love Coen Bros., Kurosawa, Scorsese, Coppola.
I would only add some: HOWARD HAWKS for being the first to violate the old theatre rules of "speak - move" ect and cranking up storytelling, influencing almost ALL modern day action film! Terminator is always highly regarded for his "on the move" story exposition but it was Howard Hawks how started it. KINJI FUKASAKU for his "Yakuza Papers" movies. Not only introduced Fukasaku the "documentary style" film like "City of God", pushing Godards work to new grounds but also broke with genre expectations continously. The "Yakuza Papers" movies are also unique because they cover a long time in the life of the main character making the film series a continous saga - 5 movies - which has never been done before that to my knowledge -> 1973. KING HU for elevating a pure entertainment genre, while still being entertaining, to a more sophisticated level much like Akira Kurosawa ... wich brings me to ... SADAO YAMANAKA of whom sadly only three films survived WW2. Yamanaka did what Kurosawa would become famous for just before Kurosawa started to make movies. :)
Wow, yes to Black Christmas! So rarely seen, but it is a dark jewel by Bob Clark (The Christmas Story). I was also happy to see The Passion of Joan of Arc (mesmerizing), City of God (chilling) and, of course, Barry Lyndon (gorgeous). I hope you will dip your toe into more comedies...
I love all these films, but this list is the same as every other, no different directors or movies from different places. There is more to cinema than this. I´m only saying this because you said that it was a"different list by filmmakers" but there are great names, a lot in fact, that are missing.
I agree with your point that financial perspective shouldn't be ignored and we also need to look at the "entertainment value".. but my problem with this is.... what exactly is considered to be "entertaining"? It really depends. There isn't any definitive list of items(fast pace, comedy, etc). It is because.... What is considered to be "entertaining" is actually a social and cultural construct. Once you try to look at the inherent purpose behind the need of 'entertainment', you will notice the human need of appeasement and satisfaction from experiencing something is actually more profound than superficially ticking boxes of "entertaining things". I may find watching a Bela Tarr movie is fucking entertaining. But you may say.. "well, many wouldn't." yes exactly. So you what you are talking about here is not entertainment, it is about appealing to larger sect of people.
✨🤩✨ THESE ARE ALLLLL MY FAVORITE FILMS!!! WOW!!!! It’s nice to have them in a neat little video collection like that. Thank you!!!!!!! ✨🤩✨ P.S. Hitchcock at the end-a cherry on top! 👌
I respect your choices, and even though I saw most of these films, I also discovered some films I didn’t know yet. So thank you. I do want to say I’m really distracted by the stupid guitar/rock music, please don’t use music or use something less intrusive
A List I’ve been waiting for, very good. Some surprise omissions I thought you would have listed. But I like this list as I’ve seen a majority of them. More than once. And the ones I’ve not seen, I have never heard of (except M)
A Masterful Choices Despite Not Including Some Other V. Important Masterpieces In Both Era The Silent Years And After The Sound Invented And Made Cinema Talks .. Maybe You Need To Make Another Video For The Best 500 Films In History Of Cinema.. Or 1000 ..!! Thank You For Cinema 100 Best List .. And Remember We're Long Time Fiends In Many Social Media You Tube, Twitter " Now X " , Facebook, And I Don't Know In Instagram Cause I Can't Remember Seeing You There !!!!!
Yes, yes, yes! Awesome list. Still need to watch about 10 of these. Some unexpected entries, but great choices. I have some personal preferences, but as soon as I ask myself why (for example why Rear Window instead of Vertigo), I can see why. If I still have doubts (for example Dog Day Afternoon, which is a fantastic movie, but I found the muddy colors of the film stock used always ugly to look at) I will rewatch knowing that you always know what you are talking about. And yes : Se7en and Fight Club are awesome. Pre-flashing and silver retention resulting in that china ink black: fantastic. Will write down the missing movies and watch these ASAP.
I was surprised to see the original Black Christmas on the list. Very under appreciated horror movie. Almost no one talks about it yet its just as good as all the other big horror films of the 70s.
My top 50 Jaws, Tootsie, The Manhattan Project, The Manchurian Candidate ('04), Searching For Bobby Fisher, Little Man Tate, End Of Watch, Prisoners, There Will Be Blood, Terminator, War Games, Valkyrie, Whiplash, 50/50, Flight Of The Phoenix ('04), Aliens, Pleasantville, Quiz Show, White Water Summer, Matchstick Men, Stir Of Echoes, The Village, Tombstone, Stargate, Nothing In Common, Stand By Me, Terms Of Endearment, Hoosiers, A River Runs Through It, Goodnight And Good Luck, Amadeus, Amistad, The Color Purple, The Deer Hunter, Shawshank Redemption, Krippendorf's Tribe, It's A Wonderful Life, Rain Man, Enemy At The Gates, 12 Angry Men, The Truman Show, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Wish I Was There, Young Frankenstein, Clue, Dead Poets Society, School Ties, Scent Of A Woman, The Graduate, Good Will Hunting.
You chose Wes Craven’s Scream instead of his vastly superior Nightmare on Elm Street? And Halloween instead of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Shocking, and not in the scary, horror movie kind of way.
I haven't seen 14 of these movies, and I've never even heard of Underground, so thank you for that recommendation. I'm watching this in 2024 and was wondering if there are any films from the past three years that you would add to the list?
@@UniqornGleek29 You'll find the answer if you google it. Besides, If I named someone, one can vehemently disagree on the "good" part in spite or good faith; it's more about the conceptual thing.
True! Theoretical knowledge and practical skills are not always the same. Some players dont know anything about the game or the history of the game but are just born skilled. Others dont have the practical skills but are reading the game better. The same for films or anything else.
@@UniqornGleek29 Gregg Popovich never played in the NBA, yet is arguably the greatest basketball coach of all time. Yes, he did play at college but that's not comparable to playing the game professionally.
Bruh... The Seventh Seal (1957) Mirror (1975) a clockwork orange (1971) a trip to The Moon (1902) The Celebration (1998) Waltz with Bashir (2008) Wild Strawberries (1957) Winter Light (1963) The Virgin Spring (1960) The Astronomers Dream (1898) and Many more. But it’s still a great list ;)

Indian in me was dying slowly towards the end as only 1 until I saw Iruvar 🤩. Based on the real life politics of TamilNadu India. It is one of the finest films of Mani Ratnam. But his best IMO is Kannaththil Muthamittal based Sri Lankan civil war in every aspect. Other films to watch by Iruvar filmmaker are Nayakan(this film replaces Iruvar in many lists), Alaipayuthey, Raavanan (Tamil not the Hindi), Mouna Raagam, Terrorism Trilogy, Thalapathi, Guru, Aayutha Ezhuththu, Chekka Chevantha Vaanam, Mani Ratnam is quite underrated despite his success if you ask me. He gets a lot of appreciation from masses but not much critical appreciation abroad given his body of work !
Honorable mentions: Ben-Hur, Taxi Driver, Vertigo, Sweet Smell of Success, Yojimbo, The Wild Bunch, To Kill a Mockingbird, Paths of Glory, Raging Bull, Magnolia, The Innocents, Witness for the Prosecution, Jaws
left out names of GREAT directors: Bela Tarr, Abbas Kiarostami, Michael Haneke, Theo Angelopoulos, Francois Truffaut, Jean Renoir, Luis Bunuel,, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Atom Egoyan, Lars von Trier
the fact that I’m Gen Z and not only recognized almost every movie on this list but have seen a considerable number of them. I feel pretty confident that I’m on the right path!
@@redefinedliving5974 I still had to seek out the films, and information. Most ppl in general don’t care enough about film to research any of this. I know boomers who wouldn’t know or care about these films, and they were alive when they were released. while we’re on the topic I am lucky, because only about half the world has access to internet, and it’s not free. Anyone who has access to information others don’t is lucky, so you’re also in that camp.
@@UniqornGleek29 well, this is exactly how it works. the most recent generation will never understand the full extent of their own privilege. this isn't new, this is how it's always been.
I’ve seen about 85 of these and know of many of the others. Unfortunately, I’ve lived in a foreign country for the past 20 years, so haven’t had access to many non-English/English sub-titled films and subsequently don’t follow cinema as much as I once did.
Critics are important and their opinion matters even when they have never made a film themselves. I would even say that critics shouldn't make makes, the would make mistakes and it would take away their credibility
I agree! The best critics are the real experts. They often have the greatest historical overview. Filmmakers are the artists/creators - but they don't necessarily know much about the history of the artform. That said, the artists are of course the most important ones. Without art there would not be any experts to criticize it.
The most important movie of the last 40 years is Star Wars. Multi movie sequence, merchandising, and the prequels introduced CGi that is still in use. You could make a list of a thousand and wouldn't have completed all the great films.
I agreed with nearly all the selections and the one's that I didn't agree with were mostly due to subjective tastes. But I have to comment on the inclusion of Jurassic Park with the omission of Jaws. Jaws is superior in every measurable way except for the durability of special effects, which Jurassic Park is still amazing on that front.
Rear Window, the best film ever IMO, I am glad you included it in your video. Great Director and the most beautiful woman to have ever been in a movie, Grace Kelly.
Seen 55 which is pretty good for 17 years old, the rest I knew sans La Double Vie De Véronique, Iruvar and The Colour of Pomegranates (Although I had heard of it).
Other films to watch by Iruvar filmmaker are Nayakan(this film replaces Iruvar in many lists), Kannathil Muthamital, Alaipayuthey, Raavanan (Tamil not the Hindi), Mouna Raagam, Terrorism Trilogy, Thalapathi, Guru, Aayutha Ezhuththu, Chekka Chevantha Vaanam,

Searching for this comment
@wolfcrow you need to update your trivia section. There are 5 directors with 3 films on the list; Kurosawa, Coppola, Kubrick, Spielberg and Lumet.
You may not give a damn but no Bresson, Buñuel, Erice, is quite lacking...specially when some of those you put take lots from them.
True
I was thinking the same
Yeah, Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar is a top 5 for me. Also Ray’s Pather Panchali, Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, and Huston’s The Maltese Falcon.
Surprised to see Iruvar on the list. It’s the best work of maniratnam till date
I would add ''Dancer in the dark'' by Trier. And not only, but generally there is a good variety of directors. Loved that you put Jodorowsky.
bit needlessly fucking depressing
So many amazing films for ethernity: The Third Men (Carol Reed ), The Great Beauty( Paolo Sorrentino), The Duelists (R. Scott), Amour(Michael Hanecke), Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky), The Deer Hunter ( M Cimino), Derzu Urzalla (Kurosawa), Down by Law (Jim Jarmush), Lawrence of Arabia ( David Lean), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (R Brooks) The Great Dictator (Chaplin), Raise the Red Lantern (Z Yimou ) , Paths of Glory ( Kubrick), ........and the list goes on and on.

Raise the Red Lantern.... a real great. Did you know all the copies of film were either lost or destroyed.
I can’t believe Shawshank Redemption is not on this list but Scream is? Anyways you don’t give a damn. Love that you included Groundhog Day though

You might also want to check other Polish filmmakers like Zulawski or Wajda. Both of them also were absolute masters.
@@UmbrellaGent Do you know how I can watch those ? There doesn't seem to be any DVD's or any record of them in my country
I'll definitely check them out
@@swann357 Although I strongly recommend watching great films at a cinema whenever possible, I believe you can find them on sites such as
easterneuropeanmovies.com and BFI Player.
If you search "(title of the film) watch online" in google you should find even more results.
I was lucky enough to see them both on a big screen at one of the local art house cinemas.
It’s well known that Coppola also really loves Bertolucci’s The Conformist to the point where he had to have Storaro film Apocalype Now.
Great list. Seen:61 Unseen:39 I'll definitely be checking those out.
Your list is one of the few I would watch all the movies from it, and I consider you opinion and influence to be one of the most important for me
Thank you!
I've seen 27 of these already, guess I'm a quarter of the way to being a film student
I have your numbers and I'm not a film student.
85 out of 100, all of them are worth it. :)
59 of 100
89 out of 100
Some people's sarcasm isn't as funny as they think it is.
I will not watch so that there is no reason to die.
Big Brain
You've achieved immortality
Watched 87 of them. With the impending UK lockdown I guess I’ve got some watching to do
13 more and your ready to die hahahha
The Dark Knight, The Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca, A Clockwork Orange, Memento, Interstellar, Paths of Glory, Heat should have been on this list.
Say hello to Hollywood
I didn't count, but I'm estimating I've seen at least 90 of the films you've listed (I haven't heard of two or three, so I'll add them to my list). And what a surprise to see BLACK CHRISTMAS here, although I might have tossed in OPERA or SUSPIRIA (the original version). Great list!
Seriously everyone that is interested in filmmaking should watch all those movies before getting spoiled all the time through random Tutorials all over RUclips
You reminded me that I need to watch more of these films. Thanks.
Which film will you watch first?
A couple of British films which should have been on this list; ‘A matter of life and death’ & ‘The Devils’
Rear Window has a deep meaning of McCathesim, voyeurism and mystery. You should watch it
I watched Rear Window,it is a great movie
North by Northwest equally entertaining.
Since you're talking Hitchcock, I would add The Trouble With Harry, it never gets enough respect, likely because it's kinda a light comedy, but it's superb, and beautiful, the color is amazing.
I would add PTA's The master, Lanthimo's Dogtooth, Nolan's Dunkirk,La Haine, Whiplash,The lighthouse,Thank you for smoking,The discreet charm of bourgeoisie, Kaufman's Synecdoche New York,Lars and the real girl.happy to see the works of Fritz Lang in this list.
8 1/2
Magnolia
Le Mépris
Sans Soleil
The Conversation
In the Mood for Love
Yes, Magnolia. Stunning film. Anderson's best.
Great list and video, thanks. I'd personally dump Forrest Gump, Birdman, and Life is Beautiful and add Rosemary's Baby, Yi Yi and Tree of Life.
14:10 mohan lal 🔥
These are the ones I didn't know:
Sunrise
It happend one night
The color of pomegranates
Les Diaboliques
El topo
Iruvar
94/100 not a bad score if i say so myself
Do give Iruvar a try. You won't be disappointed
Wow, I've seen 74 of these. Not bad. And what's more, if I counted correctly, I own 33 of them.
No Eraserhead, though? Inexcusable omission.
Nice you watch a lot ! What was your favourite film ?
@@jv8studios Mulholland Dr. - I'm a huge David Lynch fan. Although Kubrick IMO is the greatest of them all. Also love Coen Bros., Kurosawa, Scorsese, Coppola.
Remember the Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr. Lack of distribution means his work has been overlooked.
I would only add some:
HOWARD HAWKS for being the first to violate the old theatre rules of "speak - move" ect and cranking up storytelling, influencing almost ALL modern day action film! Terminator is always highly regarded for his "on the move" story exposition but it was Howard Hawks how started it.
KINJI FUKASAKU for his "Yakuza Papers" movies. Not only introduced Fukasaku the "documentary style" film like "City of God", pushing Godards work to new grounds but also broke with genre expectations continously. The "Yakuza Papers" movies are also unique because they cover a long time in the life of the main character making the film series a continous saga - 5 movies - which has never been done before that to my knowledge -> 1973.
KING HU for elevating a pure entertainment genre, while still being entertaining, to a more sophisticated level much like Akira Kurosawa ... wich brings me to ...
SADAO YAMANAKA of whom sadly only three films survived WW2. Yamanaka did what Kurosawa would become famous for just before Kurosawa started to make movies. :)
Great list brother, but no Michael Heneke films? Have you seen Caché
( Hidden)
Take your like mister.
Wow, yes to Black Christmas! So rarely seen, but it is a dark jewel by Bob Clark (The Christmas Story). I was also happy to see The Passion of Joan of Arc (mesmerizing), City of God (chilling) and, of course, Barry Lyndon (gorgeous). I hope you will dip your toe into more comedies...
Great to see Sergei Parajanov in the list on of the greats sadly forgotten.
I love all these films, but this list is the same as every other, no different directors or movies from different places. There is more to cinema than this. I´m only saying this because you said that it was a"different list by filmmakers" but there are great names, a lot in fact, that are missing.
the pure fact that there is not a single movie by Buñuel says a lot
Wow! Iruvar in the list...❤️
Your list is very close to mine, I'd throw in a Cronenberg, a Fassbinder and a Jarmush.
Jarmusch is garbage.. overrated, pretentious film making at at its shittiest
@@jduder boring
@@kostajovanovic3711 yo you are the guy from Taste Of Cinema
I agree with your point that financial perspective shouldn't be ignored and we also need to look at the "entertainment value".. but my problem with this is.... what exactly is considered to be "entertaining"? It really depends. There isn't any definitive list of items(fast pace, comedy, etc). It is because.... What is considered to be "entertaining" is actually a social and cultural construct. Once you try to look at the inherent purpose behind the need of 'entertainment', you will notice the human need of appeasement and satisfaction from experiencing something is actually more profound than superficially ticking boxes of "entertaining things". I may find watching a Bela Tarr movie is fucking entertaining. But you may say.. "well, many wouldn't." yes exactly. So you what you are talking about here is not entertainment, it is about appealing to larger sect of people.
Well said 👍
Please see Nuri Belgi Ceylan,
Edward Yang, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang movies
Yes to all of them
What a priceless list! The only two that def surprised me was Groundhog Day ?! and Halloween ?? as two of the Greatest 100 Movies of All Time
Yeah, over Wild Strawberries and Au Hasard Balthazar?
You put Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. That way you gain honor of became one of my subscription channel. Congratulation. Stay humble
As an art its brilliant film. Totally underrated best performance by both the leads.
Great film. But I had to watch it twice to get it. Carrey's finest film by far.
✨🤩✨ THESE ARE ALLLLL MY FAVORITE FILMS!!! WOW!!!! It’s nice to have them in a neat little video collection like that. Thank you!!!!!!! ✨🤩✨ P.S. Hitchcock at the end-a cherry on top! 👌
I respect your choices, and even though I saw most of these films, I also discovered some films I didn’t know yet. So thank you.
I do want to say I’m really distracted by the stupid guitar/rock music, please don’t use music or use something less intrusive
A List I’ve been waiting for, very good. Some surprise omissions I thought you would have listed. But I like this list as I’ve seen a majority of them. More than once. And the ones I’ve not seen, I have never heard of (except M)
Excellent listing. It's helpful, thank you Wolfcrow.
Well then. Looks like I’ve got a few films to watch!
Ahaha yes same here! Where will you start ?
@@jv8studios at the beginning lol!
Whoever hasn't watched Iruvar, watch it. It is one of the greatest of all time.
A Masterful Choices Despite Not Including Some Other V. Important Masterpieces In Both Era The Silent Years And After The Sound Invented And Made Cinema Talks .. Maybe You Need To Make Another Video For
The Best 500 Films In History Of Cinema.. Or 1000 ..!!
Thank You For Cinema 100 Best List .. And Remember We're Long Time Fiends In Many Social Media
You Tube, Twitter " Now X " , Facebook, And I Don't Know In Instagram Cause I Can't Remember Seeing You There !!!!!
Yes, yes, yes! Awesome list. Still need to watch about 10 of these. Some unexpected entries, but great choices. I have some personal preferences, but as soon as I ask myself why (for example why Rear Window instead of Vertigo), I can see why. If I still have doubts (for example Dog Day Afternoon, which is a fantastic movie, but I found the muddy colors of the film stock used always ugly to look at) I will rewatch knowing that you always know what you are talking about. And yes : Se7en and Fight Club are awesome. Pre-flashing and silver retention resulting in that china ink black: fantastic. Will write down the missing movies and watch these ASAP.
I was surprised to see the original Black Christmas on the list. Very under appreciated horror movie. Almost no one talks about it yet its just as good as all the other big horror films of the 70s.
I’ve watched all of these 100 films you recommended before I die. Now, I’m ready to die. Sayonara, twerk!
MUNICH is a underrated movie, I am glad that you like to.
My top 50
Jaws, Tootsie, The Manhattan Project, The Manchurian Candidate ('04), Searching For Bobby Fisher, Little Man Tate, End Of Watch, Prisoners, There Will Be Blood, Terminator, War Games, Valkyrie, Whiplash, 50/50, Flight Of The Phoenix ('04), Aliens, Pleasantville, Quiz Show, White Water Summer, Matchstick Men, Stir Of Echoes, The Village, Tombstone, Stargate, Nothing In Common, Stand By Me, Terms Of Endearment, Hoosiers, A River Runs Through It, Goodnight And Good Luck, Amadeus, Amistad, The Color Purple, The Deer Hunter, Shawshank Redemption, Krippendorf's Tribe, It's A Wonderful Life, Rain Man, Enemy At The Gates, 12 Angry Men, The Truman Show, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Wish I Was There, Young Frankenstein, Clue, Dead Poets Society, School Ties, Scent Of A Woman, The Graduate, Good Will Hunting.
You chose Wes Craven’s Scream instead of his vastly superior Nightmare on Elm Street? And Halloween instead of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Shocking, and not in the scary, horror movie kind of way.
This list reminds me of that movie 3 Women by Robert Altman. Can't put my finger on why.
Thanks. Great Teaching.
I haven't seen 14 of these movies, and I've never even heard of Underground, so thank you for that recommendation. I'm watching this in 2024 and was wondering if there are any films from the past three years that you would add to the list?
.......thank u .....those are pure gold
You’re welcome!
I have watched 27 out of 100 😌Thanks for the list. Will watch the rest now.
Not bad, but you can't ignore The Graduate, Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Badlands, Jaws, Shawshank. Btw, Inception and Munich?
i was waiting for the Graduate
Not sure of Munich but Inception bloody deserves to be here
A critic can be like a good coach--he may never have played the game, but he can have deeper knowledge on the topic than the player.
what good coaches do you know that have never played the games they coach for??
@@UniqornGleek29 You'll find the answer if you google it. Besides, If I named someone, one can vehemently disagree on the "good" part in spite or good faith; it's more about the conceptual thing.
True!
Theoretical knowledge and practical skills are not always the same. Some players dont know anything about the game or the history of the game but are just born skilled. Others dont have the practical skills but are reading the game better. The same for films or anything else.
@@UniqornGleek29 Gregg Popovich never played in the NBA, yet is arguably the greatest basketball coach of all time. Yes, he did play at college but that's not comparable to playing the game professionally.
@@UniqornGleek29 Andreas Vilas Boas, Julien Negelsman football coaches didn't play professional but pretty successful as coaches.
Bruh... The Seventh Seal (1957) Mirror (1975) a clockwork orange (1971) a trip to The Moon (1902) The Celebration (1998) Waltz with Bashir (2008) Wild Strawberries (1957) Winter Light (1963) The Virgin Spring (1960) The Astronomers Dream (1898) and Many more. But it’s still a great list ;)
I would have to include the Piano, Subway, the Hedgehog, Parasite, the Hurt Locker, maybe Midsommer.
Hurt Locker, no. American Sniper captures the Iraq war better.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 in your opinion.
@@miriammoriarty8588 The Hurt Locker was OK, but if it wasn't directed by a woman, meh.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 So you're a woman hater, got it.
@@miriammoriarty8588 Ha ha ha. I love women. I'm married to one.
Who can bench press more? Who would win in a sprint? Who would win in tennis.
You write a better symphony that Schubert, write a better play than Shakespeare, paint better than Rembrandt.
Until then, bugger off.
Indian in me was dying slowly towards the end as only 1 until I saw Iruvar 🤩.
Based on the real life politics of TamilNadu India. It is one of the finest films of Mani Ratnam. But his best IMO is Kannaththil Muthamittal based Sri Lankan civil war in every aspect. Other films to watch by Iruvar filmmaker are Nayakan(this film replaces Iruvar in many lists), Alaipayuthey, Raavanan (Tamil not the Hindi), Mouna Raagam, Terrorism Trilogy, Thalapathi, Guru, Aayutha Ezhuththu, Chekka Chevantha Vaanam,
Mani Ratnam is quite underrated despite his success if you ask me. He gets a lot of appreciation from masses but not much critical appreciation abroad given his body of work !
Thanks a lot for this 😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏,,it's Quite Helpful,,,
For analysis,,
Honorable mentions: Ben-Hur, Taxi Driver, Vertigo, Sweet Smell of Success, Yojimbo, The Wild Bunch, To Kill a Mockingbird, Paths of Glory, Raging Bull, Magnolia, The Innocents, Witness for the Prosecution, Jaws
The Big Blue ( le grand bleu ) by Luc Besson is a must...
left out names of GREAT directors:
Bela Tarr,
Abbas Kiarostami,
Michael Haneke,
Theo Angelopoulos,
Francois Truffaut,
Jean Renoir,
Luis Bunuel,,
Nuri Bilge Ceylan,
Atom Egoyan,
Lars von Trier
The 400 Blows (Truffaut) and The Rules of the Game (Renoir) are on the list.
What about psycho, the shining, the sixth sense? I would remove Scream for one of those!
He had Psycho
Thank you for this. I've added 17 new films to my "Movies to Watch" list.
Pather Panchali and iruvar 😍
A lot of masterpieces here...Thanks for sharing
the fact that I’m Gen Z and not only recognized almost every movie on this list but have seen a considerable number of them. I feel pretty confident that I’m on the right path!
Please shut the fuck up omg 😭
Gen z's have access on the internet and streaming services--- you are lucky if anything
@@redefinedliving5974 I still had to seek out the films, and information. Most ppl in general don’t care enough about film to research any of this. I know boomers who wouldn’t know or care about these films, and they were alive when they were released.
while we’re on the topic I am lucky, because only about half the world has access to internet, and it’s not free. Anyone who has access to information others don’t is lucky, so you’re also in that camp.
@@UniqornGleek29 well, this is exactly how it works. the most recent generation will never understand the full extent of their own privilege. this isn't new, this is how it's always been.
Privileged or not thats irrelevant, still on the right path
No One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Silence of the Lambs, or Shawshank Redemption. This list is a little messed up.
Awesome video! Creativity doesn’t have boarders! Only the stories and camera angles!
I’ve seen about 85 of these and know of many of the others. Unfortunately, I’ve lived in a foreign country for the past 20 years, so haven’t had access to many non-English/English sub-titled films and subsequently don’t follow cinema as much as I once did.
What's the song playing in the intro? I looked in the description but that's not the same song.
Critics are important and their opinion matters even when they have never made a film themselves. I would even say that critics shouldn't make makes, the would make mistakes and it would take away their credibility
Still he didn't give a damn. But i do appreciate the critics
I agree! The best critics are the real experts. They often have the greatest historical overview. Filmmakers are the artists/creators - but they don't necessarily know much about the history of the artform. That said, the artists are of course the most important ones. Without art there would not be any experts to criticize it.
Great list of movies. But I think you could have fitted Brazil in there somewhere
The most important movie of the last 40 years is Star Wars. Multi movie sequence, merchandising, and the prequels introduced CGi that is still in use. You could make a list of a thousand and wouldn't have completed all the great films.
I agreed with nearly all the selections and the one's that I didn't agree with were mostly due to subjective tastes. But I have to comment on the inclusion of Jurassic Park with the omission of Jaws. Jaws is superior in every measurable way except for the durability of special effects, which Jurassic Park is still amazing on that front.
Rear Window, the best film ever IMO, I am glad you included it in your video. Great Director and the most beautiful woman to have ever been in a movie, Grace Kelly.
Seen 55 which is pretty good for 17 years old, the rest I knew sans La Double Vie De Véronique, Iruvar and The Colour of Pomegranates (Although I had heard of it).
Other films to watch by Iruvar filmmaker are Nayakan(this film replaces Iruvar in many lists), Kannathil Muthamital, Alaipayuthey, Raavanan (Tamil not the Hindi), Mouna Raagam, Terrorism Trilogy, Thalapathi, Guru, Aayutha Ezhuththu, Chekka Chevantha Vaanam,
Great list, but missing amazing Films like:
cinema paradiso
the lord of the rings
il postino
gladiator
the red violin
the exorcist
children of men
Interstellar
Memento
Pi
Eyes wide shut
And many more classics
Thnak you for sharing this list with us!
Wow you have Blow-Up on there, well done! But no Blood Simple?
