100 Years, 100 Movies

Where I once again avoid talking about the most popular movie of the year (The Sound of Music) to talk about a western (For a Few Dollars More). Also let’s talk exploitation with Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Daniel Day Lewis’s deliciously over the top performance in There Will be Blood puts it over No Country for Old Men for the best movie of the year. Also why the Orphanage still haunts me.

Aliens one ups the original by doing it own thing. Friday the 13th Part IV is an excuse to talk about the series and slashers.

Mad Max: Fury Road may be the best of the decade; also why Creed works when it probably shouldn’t have.

Let’s talk about how society has always sucked by looking at I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang and Freaks

Let’s begin talking about Quentin Tarantino with Django Unchained. Also one of my all time favorite comedies Pitch Perfect is pitch perfect.

I can’t stop talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark! Also the Road Warrior and it’s connection to the Legión of Doom.

Wherein I avoid talking about Love Story and instead talk about Westerns El Topo and Two Mules for Sister Sara.

The Exorcist makes you think about religion and Paper Moon is about as far away as you can get from horror.

Wherein I discuss the biggest movie of 1977 (and all time?) Star Wars. Also why Suspiria is Dario Argento’s gonzo horror masterpiece.
