Actually really surprised to see Passion on there (did abbreviate it as PotC first, then realized there's also Pirates of the Caribbean which isn't admittedly bad either). Not complete trash for that inclusion alone.
Spielberg's last good film was Tintin, and after Jurassic Park it's been hit and miss, the more cocky he feels inserting his background into a picture, the worse the film.
Everything Eli Roth has ever put his name to has been shit. He's in that "proudly jewish" sector of Hollywood which is also occupied by the likes of Sarah Silverman in the sense they know they're immune as long as they stay in their gated little communes.
Looked up Moneyball, sounds gay. Chocolate sounds very gay, reading the description of the movie on jewgle.
Rob Zombie cannot direct to save his fucking life.
School of Rock should not be on anyone's Top 100 films of the century, let alone top 20. Kid flick with king of lolsorandom Jack Black.
Jackass? I was 11 once too.
ISRAELI FILM LMAOOOO
Battle Royale is such a basic bitch choice nowadays, now that everyone knows it inspired Hunger Games and all that other garbage. Trve patricians watch The Running Man (1987).
Anything by Woody Allen is always pretentious shit. Funny thing is, very few people know this, but he's actually a goy who's pretended to be a jew all his life to reap all the benefits from it. Miles Mathis has a paper on this if any of you are interested, but Konigsberg is not a typical triple parentheses surname and no jew would ever be caught dead speaking German as his first language.
Anything by Edgar Wright got tainted by Tumblr and Reddit in the 2010s. Shame, since I liked it as a kid.
Fury Road is the only Mad Max film without Mel Gibson. For that, it can sadly never be based. That's before we get into how emasculated his character became.
Tony Scott is a very based director choice, underrated in his time.
Zodiac is typical pretentious Fincher slop, whose best picture remains Seven. For some reason he thinks because his name sounds like David Lynch, he has to endlessly mimic him.
TWBB is a safe choice, but what Quentin says about Paul Dano is unhinged. Ditto Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard. Sounds like he has a personal beef with them.
Dunkirk is typical revisionist crap that avoids depicting the Germans as merciful.
Lost in Translation was pretentious shit that just gave an excuse for an old, decrepit Bill Murray to gets handsy with a teenaged Scarlett Johansson (yes I know, no my dick didn't care).
Toy Story 3 is a kid's film that doesn't know it's a kid's film, worst sin one can commit.
Black Cock Down is typical Ridley Scott fare. Made three brilliant films at the start of his career and the world has glazed him for 40+ more than he's owed.
Also, Top 20 is one of the few types of lists where you can (and should) include a couple of your own, otherwise that's you admitting your work isn't that good.
I was probably one of the few anons who knew the Hateful Eight leaks were real from the second I saw them and laughed at those who thought "WARM BLACK DINGUS" was too blatant and childlike for Tarantino to shoehorn into his script. Loved (and hated) being proven right a year later.
Tarantino has always been consistent about Battle Royale. He was picking it in earlier interviews before Hunger Games ever came out.
But yes, I don't like Japan and Japanese culture, so I'm 100% with you on Running Man over Battle Royale. I tried Battle Royale and only made it about 10 minutes because of the japanesey-ness. Japan's culture is too weird, don't know how people can tolerate their media.
1970s Godzilla movies is as far as it goes for Japanese media for me, and even then, they get WEIRD....like those two women chanting some sort of worship song for Mothra...forget which one it was, but it was in that era of Godzilla films. It went on for like 6 minutes of them singing some Mothra song...it was bizarre.
I agree with basically everything else you said except I don't kow why you think Black Hawk Down is bad. I agree that Ridley Scott is one of the most overrated directors of all time, who's name should not carry the weight it does, but Black Hawk Down is pretty good if you're comparing it to the genre in my opinion. I'll put it this way...it's good enough that I didn't even associate it with Ridley Scott until you mentioned it. I associate it with Jerry Bruckheimer who makes a lot of entertaining films. Since his name is also attached to that film and the film is entertaining, he's the name I think of when I think of Black Hawk Down.
I didn't call it bad - people have been saying "Black Cock Down" about as long as the internet's been around. It's great, a bit military-porny (but everything made in that post-9/11 '02 - '04 bubble was to a degree), but has his name on it.
Even Coppola isn't worshipped as badly as Ridley is, and he at least lasted into the '90s before he shit the bed. Scott on the other hand built his entire legacy on Alien and Blade Runner. 90% of his films after that have been average.
His takes on Alien this century have been painful. Napoleon somehow missed the mark entirely. Gladiator 2 was an unnecessary DEI sequel. G.I. Jane is now known better as a punchline in Chris Rock's dig towards Will Smith than it is an actual film.
Fury Road is based because its one of the proud few films that fail so badly at their political message that they outright inspire the opposite. Joins Starship Troopers in that category.
Nobody who wasn't a grifter that moved on two weeks later cared about the movie except to yell "WITNESS" with the boys and do some hyper guy shit. And it reminds us that the cost of simping, is that you might get a crumb of affection if you literally kill yourself for some used goods woman who won't think twice about you after.
Yeah you've had this take over an over, and it convinces me of nothing but that you have terrible taste in movies.
Fury Road is about as close to a perfect movie as it gets.
Well if I'm wrong because I think the movie is great for its action and machismo culture in spite of its ideological bend trying to subvert and mock such, then you must think its great because you agree with its feminist messaging.
Sounds like you have terrible tastes, and opinions, my friend.
Woah youre dumb as fuck.
