@@AK-tw7uq that's correct yet applying the same metric why there is films like Once upon a time in the west, and The Good The bad and the ugly on the same list. Taxi Driver is missing, its at least in top 50
Taxi Driver is all time favourite of mine I expected it in the list and atleast one animation movie Shrek/The Road to ElDorado Also, Brokeback Mountain, Heat, Pursuit of Happyness were surely worth in this list too
I’m sorry there is something fundamentally wrong with this list. There is NO ANIMATION. This is nothing new in the industry where animation is not respected on the same level as live action film. I know this is your personal list and you probably didn’t mean anything bad by it, but next time I would consider animation. Animation has definitely pushed the medium of film to new heights.
Agreed. But this is for him and filmmakers because he dosent make animations. Although there is definitely animation films out there which could help any filmmaker
I LOVED HOW YOU STOPPED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC...JUST TO PLAY THE THEME SONG FOR "IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE" BY ITSELF! I'm glad someone knows what's going on 😎
Hate to say but The Exorcist ('73), Rosemary's Baby ('68) and Chainsaw Massacre ('74) are way better, scarier and more ground breaking films than Scream and Friday the 13th.
Scream LMAOOOO. Hate to say but Scary Movie is better than Scream. This list is so dumb, they didn't include any work of Buñuel, Iñarritu, Bresson, von Trier, or Bertolucci. That's the problem with this kind of "The Best of" or "Watch before you die" lists, they always miss important works and add irrelevant/crappy stuff.
I really like this list, even though I wouln't include films like "Scream", "Munich" and "Halloween". Still need to watch many films you mentioned. I would also add: - Vertigo - Once Upon A Time In America - The Gold Rush - The Third Man - Heat - Babel - The Lion King - Blue Velvet - Terminator 2 - The Deer Hunter
love your list ❤ but i would like to add: -The Seventh Seal (1957) -Lawrence of Arabia (1962) -War and Peace (1966-1967) -A Clockwork Orange (1971) -The Mirror (1975) -Taxi Driver (1976) -The Shining (1980) -The Empire Strikes Back (1980) -Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) -Back to the Future (1985) -Come and See (1985) -Silence of the Lambs (1991) -The Shawshank Redemption (1994) -Saving Private Ryan (1998) -The Pianist (2002) -Pan Labyrinth (2006)
Lawrence of Arabia was awesome, The Empire Strikes back was the best of the Star Wars series in my opinion. Raiders of the Lost Ark was great for action and effects but Harrison Ford is not a good actor, not by a long shot. That all being said I think Wolfcrow's list is more about conceptual films, not necessarily blockbusters.
I am from Kerala, India. Happy to see two Indian films in the list. I have a lot of watching to do. I have to see Sunrise, Stagecoach and Underground. I have watched almost most of these movies. I have also to rewatch some of them.
Very good list. Have watched 85 / 100 from your list. My list will definitely include Seventh Seal 2001 A Space Odyssey Three Colors : Red Memento Dark Knight Ran The Apartment Rear Window The General The Circus Chinatown Saving Private Ryan Star Wars : A New Hope & Empire Strikes Back Taxi Driver
A List I’ve been waiting for, very good. Some surprise omissions I thought you would have listed. But I like this list as I’ve seen a majority of them. More than once. And the ones I’ve not seen, I have never heard of (except M)
2 masterpieces everybody ought to see are The Saragossa Manuscript and The Hourglass Sanatorium, both directed by a Polish director - Wojciech Has. The Saragossa Manuscript is actually Francis Coppola's favourite film of all time. Has was a truly a genius on par with greats like Kubrick or Lynch and it's a shame he didn't manage to make more films during his lifetime.
@mc love me It's a shame really that not that many people know about those films. If it weren't for Scorcese's and Coppola's efforts to preserve Has' films perhaps they would be lost almost completely to the majority of the world. You might also want to check other Polish filmmakers like Zulawski or Wajda. Both of them also were absolute masters.
@@swann357 Although I strongly recommend watching great films at a cinema whenever possible, I believe you can find them on sites such as easterneuropeanmovies.com and BFI Player. If you search "(title of the film) watch online" in google you should find even more results. I was lucky enough to see them both on a big screen at one of the local art house cinemas.
Fun Fact : Sholay is Inspired by this classic 'The Magnificent Seven' directed by John Sturges which was originally inspired by the Japanese film 'Seven Samurai'. (some people refer Inspired as Copy)
Sholay is not at all a masterpiece. It's good but I can't accept it as a masterpiece. I would rather go with Lagaan or Lunchbox or many other Hindi films
@@kiranp5611 sholay is infact a commercial film but it is a masterpiece.... Introduced new genre like spaghetti.... Every character is created which hell lot of attention that's why even dhanno is iconic.... The actions are way better than you expect from the 70s.....every single dialogue is iconic....
Yes, yes, yes! Awesome list. Still need to watch about 10 of these. Some unexpected entries, but great choices. I have some personal preferences, but as soon as I ask myself why (for example why Rear Window instead of Vertigo), I can see why. If I still have doubts (for example Dog Day Afternoon, which is a fantastic movie, but I found the muddy colors of the film stock used always ugly to look at) I will rewatch knowing that you always know what you are talking about. And yes : Se7en and Fight Club are awesome. Pre-flashing and silver retention resulting in that china ink black: fantastic. Will write down the missing movies and watch these ASAP.
I didn't count, but I'm estimating I've seen at least 90 of the films you've listed (I haven't heard of two or three, so I'll add them to my list). And what a surprise to see BLACK CHRISTMAS here, although I might have tossed in OPERA or SUSPIRIA (the original version). Great list!
✨🤩✨ THESE ARE ALLLLL MY FAVORITE FILMS!!! WOW!!!! It’s nice to have them in a neat little video collection like that. Thank you!!!!!!! ✨🤩✨ P.S. Hitchcock at the end-a cherry on top! 👌
I would add (of course imo, and I'm definitely missing a bunch, so I'll do my best): - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie by Luis Buñuel - Amores Perros by Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu - Ran by Akira Kurosawa - Cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore - Come and See by Elem Klimov - Au Hasard Balthazar by Robert Bresson - Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese - Play Time by Jacques Tati - Whiplash by Damien Chazelle - Wild Strawberries by Ingman Bergman - Memento by Christopher Nolan - Songs from The Second Floor by Roy Andersson - Incendies by Denis Villeneuve - The Seventh Seal by Ingman Bergman - Oldboy by Park Chaan-Wook - Last Tango in Paris - Bernando Bertolucci - Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron - Social Network by David Fincher - Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro - No Country for Old Men by The Coen Brothers - The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick - Do The Right Thing by Spike Lee - I Saw The Devil by Kim Jee-Woon - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance by Park Chaan-Wook - Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai - Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by George Lucas - Inglorious Bastards by Quentin Tarantino - Lady Bird by Greta Gerwick - Transformers by Michael Bay lol of course transformers is a joke, Transformers 2 is the real deal. And I personally wouldn't have in a MUST see these ones (please don't kill me): - Scream - Halloween - The Thin Red Line - Amadeus - The Grand Budapest Hotel - Amelie - Sunset Blvd
@TheMoon Yeah, you're totally right on that, they were pretty defining and challenged the genre at the time. I would also add Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist, and maybe Babadook, Possession and Hereditary to my list now that I think about it.
I love all these films, but this list is the same as every other, no different directors or movies from different places. There is more to cinema than this. I´m only saying this because you said that it was a"different list by filmmakers" but there are great names, a lot in fact, that are missing.
So many amazing films for ethernity: The Third Men (Carol Reed ), The Great Beauty( Paolo Sorrentino), The Duelists (R. Scott), Amour(Michael Hanecke), Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky), The Deer Hunter ( M Cimino), Derzu Urzalla (Kurosawa), Down by Law (Jim Jarmush), Lawrence of Arabia ( David Lean), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (R Brooks) The Great Dictator (Chaplin), Raise the Red Lantern (Z Yimou ) , Paths of Glory ( Kubrick), ........and the list goes on and on. So many jewels.......
Seriously everyone that is interested in filmmaking should watch all those movies before getting spoiled all the time through random Tutorials all over RU-vid
Since you're talking Hitchcock, I would add The Trouble With Harry, it never gets enough respect, likely because it's kinda a light comedy, but it's superb, and beautiful, the color is amazing.
I respect your choices, and even though I saw most of these films, I also discovered some films I didn’t know yet. So thank you. I do want to say I’m really distracted by the stupid guitar/rock music, please don’t use music or use something less intrusive
A Masterful Choices Despite Not Including Some Other V. Important Masterpieces In Both Era The Silent Years And After The Sound Invented And Made Cinema Talks .. Maybe You Need To Make Another Video For The Best 500 Films In History Of Cinema.. Or 1000 ..!! Thank You For Cinema 100 Best List .. And Remember We're Long Time Fiends In Many Social Media You Tube, Twitter " Now X " , Facebook, And I Don't Know In Instagram Cause I Can't Remember Seeing You There !!!!!
I would add PTA's The master, Lanthimo's Dogtooth, Nolan's Dunkirk,La Haine, Whiplash,The lighthouse,Thank you for smoking,The discreet charm of bourgeoisie, Kaufman's Synecdoche New York,Lars and the real girl.happy to see the works of Fritz Lang in this list.
I was surprised to see the original Black Christmas on the list. Very under appreciated horror movie. Almost no one talks about it yet its just as good as all the other big horror films of the 70s.
@@jv8studios Mulholland Dr. - I'm a huge David Lynch fan. Although Kubrick IMO is the greatest of them all. Also love Coen Bros., Kurosawa, Scorsese, Coppola.
Wow, yes to Black Christmas! So rarely seen, but it is a dark jewel by Bob Clark (The Christmas Story). I was also happy to see The Passion of Joan of Arc (mesmerizing), City of God (chilling) and, of course, Barry Lyndon (gorgeous). I hope you will dip your toe into more comedies...
Critics are important and their opinion matters even when they have never made a film themselves. I would even say that critics shouldn't make makes, the would make mistakes and it would take away their credibility
I agree! The best critics are the real experts. They often have the greatest historical overview. Filmmakers are the artists/creators - but they don't necessarily know much about the history of the artform. That said, the artists are of course the most important ones. Without art there would not be any experts to criticize it.
I agree with your point that financial perspective shouldn't be ignored and we also need to look at the "entertainment value".. but my problem with this is.... what exactly is considered to be "entertaining"? It really depends. There isn't any definitive list of items(fast pace, comedy, etc). It is because.... What is considered to be "entertaining" is actually a social and cultural construct. Once you try to look at the inherent purpose behind the need of 'entertainment', you will notice the human need of appeasement and satisfaction from experiencing something is actually more profound than superficially ticking boxes of "entertaining things". I may find watching a Bela Tarr movie is fucking entertaining. But you may say.. "well, many wouldn't." yes exactly. So you what you are talking about here is not entertainment, it is about appealing to larger sect of people.
I would only add some: HOWARD HAWKS for being the first to violate the old theatre rules of "speak - move" ect and cranking up storytelling, influencing almost ALL modern day action film! Terminator is always highly regarded for his "on the move" story exposition but it was Howard Hawks how started it. KINJI FUKASAKU for his "Yakuza Papers" movies. Not only introduced Fukasaku the "documentary style" film like "City of God", pushing Godards work to new grounds but also broke with genre expectations continously. The "Yakuza Papers" movies are also unique because they cover a long time in the life of the main character making the film series a continous saga - 5 movies - which has never been done before that to my knowledge -> 1973. KING HU for elevating a pure entertainment genre, while still being entertaining, to a more sophisticated level much like Akira Kurosawa ... wich brings me to ... SADAO YAMANAKA of whom sadly only three films survived WW2. Yamanaka did what Kurosawa would become famous for just before Kurosawa started to make movies. :)
Rear Window, the best film ever IMO, I am glad you included it in your video. Great Director and the most beautiful woman to have ever been in a movie, Grace Kelly.
the fact that I’m Gen Z and not only recognized almost every movie on this list but have seen a considerable number of them. I feel pretty confident that I’m on the right path!
@@redefinedliving5974 I still had to seek out the films, and information. Most ppl in general don’t care enough about film to research any of this. I know boomers who wouldn’t know or care about these films, and they were alive when they were released. while we’re on the topic I am lucky, because only about half the world has access to internet, and it’s not free. Anyone who has access to information others don’t is lucky, so you’re also in that camp.
@@UniqornGleek29 well, this is exactly how it works. the most recent generation will never understand the full extent of their own privilege. this isn't new, this is how it's always been.
@@cfbilly70 It’s pointless to defend that movie when it’s all ready included in the video, and the fact that it exist a superior movie in the same gender doesn’t make it bad, plus Fight club’s on the list and they’re kinda at the same level.
Wow! So many flavors in last 15 minutes! I loved it. Thanks for the wonderful video. Not sure why Avatar and Caparnaum were left out... I have a feeling after reading the comments, irrespective of what you said, you might feel like making a sequel to this.
