Filmie Films Rough Draft

[Topflight]

Here is the first draft of my top ten Filmie Films.

Dr. Strangelove
Memento
A Clockwork Orange
Fargo
Citizen Kane
Donnie Darko
Being John Malkovich
Adaptation
The Graduate
Rushmore
The Royal Tenenbaums


You can't just like these movies to be a filmie. You have to get filled with pride at their mention. You also have to put down other good movies that are below you, aka Bruce Almighty.

I had this first draft pretty much finished when Bruiser rattled off almost half of it then bashed slapstick comedies. I figured that was confirmation enough to post what I have so far.

I really feel that only a few of these are actually in the top ten, but the others aren't coming to mind. Help me gather the rest of the list.

Also, another good sign of a Filmie is a glowing aura of adoration for Stanley Kubrick and the Coen Brothers.

Don't forget "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"
Turbo's windmill made me laugh, then cry.

I don't know. This mostly just looks like a list of the weirdest movies you could think of. I underststand what your filmie thing is about, but I don't necessarily agree on the list. I think more along the lines of The Piano, and more artsy kinds of things than some of these. And more low-budget indie films.

That could be. I need examples.

I also want to avoid crossing over into the "I think I'm kewl cuz I like cult movies" club.

Which would be:

Army Of Darkness
The Big Lebowski
Clerks
Rocky Horror

That's a very interesting point. I might not have made the distinction. Are these people less annoying though?

You missed number 1 - Citizen Kane.

[Topflight]

Equally annoying. Different way.

It's on the list, you just missed it. That may be number one, the list isn't in order yet. That one is especially annoying because I think people might learn about it in some class or something.

Lawrence of Arabia? From Here to Eternity? Dr. Zhivago? Probably some Hitchcock movie should be on here?

This makes it sound like people over the age of 50 are automatically filmies.
