Re: Ranking distribution graph

Neat tool.

Nothing too surprising here, either. The drop-off after 90 is pretty big, but I don't hand out 95s and 100s easily.

Re: Movies that Have Aged Well, and Those that Haven't

I'm a big Hitchcock fan, but he was pretty old-fashioned when it came to making films. His reliance on things like rear projection and matte paintings as backgrounds were dated even when the films were being released. I mean, look at this shot from Marnie: http://whatthemovie.com/system/images/still...

Re: "Oldboy"

I'm guessing the remake doesn't have the octopus scene. What does he do, go for a McDonald's instead?

Re: Movies that Have Aged Well, and Those that Haven't

I am wondering, if we can find a relatively well known film that has held up well , made prior to our current line in the sand of 1931. I just knocked it back a year with All Quiet on the Western Front . Check out this scene: m Not just the visceral level of violence and death, but also the way the...

Re: My Top 100

Conveniently, my tier 10 currently has exactly 100 entries. I'm not entirely sure how much overlap there'd be if I sat down and compiled a top 100 without referencing Criticker, though. http://i.imgur.com/mNWSSSO.jpg By decade. Not much surprising here. I hardly ever watched films until I hit my mid...
