Top 100 Movies

82. The Elephant Man (1980)



Now that is a powerful drama movie. It shows Lynch knows how to do melodrama. And yes, it's the 2nd Lynch to show up here.

81. Genocyber (1994)


Extremely violent, it's perhaps the most violent animation ever made and hence it had to make my favorites list. I first watched it when I was about 9 years old (as Brazilian TV channels though it was ok to show this on TV because it's animated, although they showed those violent OVAs on Friday nights around 8 PM). Overall, excellent example of early adult animation.

80. Rocky (1976)


Now that's an emotional sports movie. Simple and muscular, just the way I like it.

Surprised you like Rocky so much. You see Warrior (2011)?

@cricket, I haven't. I planned watching it actually but I gave up. Might be a good time to watch it.

Continuing with the list.

79. Werkermeister Harmonies (2000)



For a slight change relative to Rocky, I put Werkermeister Harmonies in the list. Its indeed an unique experience: have not watched anything like it (besides the other Tarr movies). This is visual music: it is pure cinema without any elements of literature in it's constitution.

78. American Movie (1998)



Now this is the essence of the purpose of artistic feeling. I actually envy these two guys as they just do what they want to do without regard for adhering to society. Also kudos for showing up in an Iron Maiden T shirt.

I had American Movie high on my documentaries list.

I didn't mind watching Werckmeister.

77. Fanny and Alexander (1982)



Now this is a movie. Like: look, this is how a good drama movie should be. Even though it's actually TV show. Well, anyway, it's the most European thing I ever watched and I watched a bunch of European stuff!

I love Fanny & Alexander

I still need to see that. I think I'd love it.

I think you would. I've seen it several times.

76. A Silent Voice (2016)



This one was amazingly realistic animated drama movie. I read the manga a couple of years ago and it was one of the best manga ever, then I heard it was going to be adapted into a movie by Naoko Yamada, who also directed K-On!, so I knew it was going to be great and indeed it was so much I put into into my top 100.

75. The Fly (1986)



Very powerful stuff. A movie about the meaning of being human and the significance of humanity. Kinda like Kafka's Metamorphosis the movie.

74. Mad Max Fury Road (2015)



Incredible movie. My favorite recent blockbuster movie and true to the spirit of The Road Warrior. This movie is pure metal: over the top just the way I like it.

73. Schindler's List (1993)



Some call it manipulative but I loved it. It's like my Hachi a dog's tale style of movie: an effective emotional cry fest. Although I didn't cry at the stones ending, I though that was a bit too much, even though it was real.

72. City of God (2002)


While Brazilian cinema is not well regarded even locally (a Brazilian director even said it was the worst cinema in the world), sometimes we make some gems. I think that City of God is the only Brazilian movie that I watched several times and indeed it is very exceptional.

Haven't seen Schindler's List or City of God, but both are on my watchlist
