Next countdown vote (May '24)

I guess some (all?) people can't tell I'm mostly joking around about this stuff. At the end of the day it's a movie forum list countdown thing. Not a big deal. Sure I'll continue to rally hard against musicals but Singin' in the Rain is one of my favourite films of all time. But let's be honest it's also the worst genre of all-time. It's a fact.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Im sure it’s fun to “joke around” about others preferences and call it the “worst thing ever.”

Seems pretty prevalent,

I see your Musicals genre and raise you the Mumblecore genre

I honestly like this idea

Two other countdowns I wish we could redo: Women Directors, and Silent films pre 1930’s.
Especially pre 1930’s. We seriously couldn’t come up with a proper 100 films from that decade?

I almost posted earlier in this thread that the Pre 1930s needed a Top 100 redo. Well maybe one day.

I think the noir countdowns need a refresh.

And we need multiple sub-genre lists for horror: creature features, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, satanic, slasher, etc.

Once their times comes, I’d like to revisit it, but it is indeed too soon, yeah.

Way too soon for both of these.

Horror Comedy too, one of my favorite horror subgenres alongside with Slashers.

FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.. BRUCE PLOITATION.

I wish people would give musicals a try. I wasn't keen on westerns, documentaries or noir to be honest, but the process of learning about and celebrating these specific genres made me appreciate them more.

That's because those two are rubbish.

Depending on what qualifies, I honestly might be able to produce a fuller list for Musicals than Noir or Westerns? Not confident, but it might be possible.

The implication being that the people who say they don't like musicals haven't given them a try. I tried listing all of the musicals that I know I've seen and I quit when I hit 50 - and that's not counting movies about musicians, just actual musicals. The number of those that I actually like? 6 - and that number really ought to have an asterisk because two of those I haven't seen in quite a few years and might not like anymore. 3 of the remaining 4 are animated.

Are there more musicals out there that I might enjoy or even love? Sure. But I'm not about to spend months drudging through hour after hour of cringe inducing dreck to find them. There is precisely one musical that I intend to watch this year and it doesn't hit theaters here until October.

At no point did I suggest we should redo them soon, but rather expressed an interest in re doing eventually after we have exhausted our other options.

What a close race.

I've seen 697 films from the 90s (according to my imdb ratings).

I'm still rooting for musicals to win this.
