Important Movies

I guess The Room is important. It's the modern day Plan 9 From Outer Space. But I feel like everyone that's into it is laughing at it unintentionally. What does the filmmaker think about that? It shouldn't go in if it's nothing more that a joke to the people that worship it.

Do we buy that, that it was all intentional? I don't think so.

It's a freak of nature.

Plan 9 didn't make it in when we were doing that year, I feel The Room deserves the same fate.

And a Broadway version. He's big into whoring out the name.

Think of that football being tossed around in 3D... oh baby

So where do we stand?

Breathless
L'avventura
La Dolce Vita
Psycho
The Apartment

1. Psycho: Without a doubt one of the most important films of all time.

2. The Apartment: The ultimate romantic comedy.

3. La Dolce Vita: Celebrated as a masterpiece and very influential. One of Fellini's most praised works.

4. Breathless: One of the "big three" films of the French New Wave and Goddard's most famous film.

5. L'Avventura: Regarded as widely influential, a heavily debated work of cinema, and the film that put Antonioni on the map.

Honourable Mentions:

Spartacus: An enjoyable film with a definite pop culture legacy, but it's mostly just another Hollywood epic and not very reflective of Kubrick's body of work.

Peeping Tom: From what I hear, this is a pretty influential horror film, but this year is pretty stacked.

The Virgin Spring: Pretty bold for its time, but this doesn't seem like one of Bergman's most important efforts.
