Top 10 however

 

1. Stalker (1979)

2. It's a mad mad mad mad world (1963)

3. Seven Samurai (1954)

4. Solyaris (1972)

5. Dersu Uzala (1975)

Nice to see someone mentioning Soviet movies...

Stalker was filmed in Tallinn, which is the capital of Estonia and where I go to school every day. That area has been redone to a recreational area, but the buildings still remain in almost same shape :D

One another Russian movie that is always good and is a New Years' Tradition for a lot of Russians (and overall ex-Soviet people) is Irony of Faith (loosely translated from Russian, where it sounds like Ironij Sudbõ, since I have no cyrillic alphabet on keyboard). An evergreen comedy.

 

Another one of my favourite movies is 4 Lions. A british movie. Full of dark humour, but ridiculously funny. British movie industry at its best. And I am sad that noone has heard of it, it is epic...

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971). It's amazing.

I'll sound like a unlikable person saying it, but A Clockwork Orange is far too overrated. Nowhere good as the hype made it out to be.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

I may sound shallow for saying this, but 2001 but me off the idea of ever seeing anything by Kubrick for quite some time. I have no problem with slow pacing - Sergio Leone is one of my favourite directors - but this was excessively so, and for no good reason.

I've never really wanted to go any further into Stanley Kubrick's filmography. I've seen A Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove (And enjoyed them to an extent (I can remember very little of either, bar Singing in the Rain and riding the bomb)), but no motivation has arisen to see any of his other films. My mates went obsessive over him and told me I absolutely HAD to see it all, but I really didn't/don't want to.

 

I don't use this word ever, but his films and his fans seem very pretentious. I don't know.

The movie isn't overrated because you don't like it - your rating is already part of the overall rating. A lot of people think it's great, it has recieved many awards (and has been nominated for more), it is highly rated and often mentioned as important movie, for example the AFI list of 100 best American movies, and it's just very special.

 

Everybody has some 'great' movies they don't like, for example (going by that list) I do not like E.T. at all (let alone Toy Story >.>), but it's still a very important and much loved movie.

 

Anyway, if you want long, slow movies, try Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Omar Sharif <3:.
