81. Like Stars On Earth
did not watch.
82. Your Name
not watched, and i do not watch modern anime. it's all the same garbage and it gets votes for being that kind of garbage.
83. A Clockwork Orange
i won't lie, this is a seminal film. It's an absurd, illogical, drug-fueled film that everyone should watch .. once. or twice. or maybe a few more times, and then watch the youtube video of the record shop / wilhelm tell scene. But no more.
The main appeal of the film is how it manages to make sense despite changing from one theme to another. It's weird, but it's weird in a way that makes sense. But once you know what's going to happen, you miss out on that wild ride experience.
8.5/10
84. (lol) Lawrence Of Arabia AKA The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom
Seriously, don't even ask me what my vote is. You should know.
10/10
85. Double Indemnity
did not watch. i'm wondering how far down the line i have to go to find Some Like It Hot.
86. Amadeus
Old Salieri creeps me out and the makeup is really bad, he clearly looks like a guy in a mask. And it doesn't convey the message properly, although his reflections on how he ruined Mozart are the framing device of the entire film. still, an amazing film.
The cut on that scene with the aria of the queen of the night is alone worth the vote.
9/10
87. Eternal Sunshine Of The Exceedingly Long Title
watching Jim carrey hurts my brain. I am convinced he will commit suicide one day, and you heard it here first.
88. Taxi Driver
this was a great film in its time, and it's the earliest "indie" film i can think of; it doesn't care about being a finished product, it just taken an awesome acting performance, and gives it a barebones frame to present it.
I also cannot judge Jodie Foster because she gave me a massive boner when i first saw the film (it's ok, i was 17yo).
I think the biggest fault with taxi driver is, that in the end, it's a hero story. Travis is a white knight who saves his princess from the windmills. This tragic and very misguided individual finds salvation more through chance than through honest labour.
Still, a culturally significant film. But when you *do* decide what the vote should be, imagine cutting out Foster's part and replacing it with something other than a "forbidden fruit". Foster's age and character, i have no doubt, must have been titillating to the audience, who then sees their own perversion reflected in the film - and Travis is the one who saves both the character, and the viewer.
probably 9/10
