Another Top 100 Movies List
The Times Online has published their own Top 100 Movies List, based on recommendations of their resident movie critics. The top 10 movies are:
- Casablanca Michael Curtiz, 1942
- There Will Be Blood Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007
- ET: The Extra Terrestrial Steven Spielberg, 1982
- Chinatown Roman Polanski, 1974
- The Shining Stanley Kubrick, 1980
- Vertigo Alfred Hitchcock, 1958
- Kes Ken Loach, 1969
- Sunset Boulevard Billy Wilder, 1950
- Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind Michel Gondry, 2004
- The Godfather Francis Ford Coppola, 1972
The top director in this list is Stanley Kubrick, with four movies included. On a somewhat humorous note, they observe:
While Citizen Kane, The Searchers and Lawrence of Arabia don’t make the cut, Point Break, an action thriller with preposterous stunts, a threadbare plot and Patrick Swayze as a philosopher-surfer-bankrobber, does.
