Meenzer 14055 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Yes, but what about Charles Chaplin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Charles Chaplin is the moniker he goes under when he's in films that honestly question and explore the profound human issues; hopes, fears, dissapointments, dreams, belief; issues that everyone of our epoch fundamentally shares.

David Kelly 1117 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Was very glad to see Paris Texas in the list although it should have been in the top ten. It certainly was in mine. Btw I don't think people like Sloop should even read lists like this are they are always going to piss them off. The majority of people out there (even movie magazine readers) are going to enjoy films that appeal to broad section of society. Films made by blind lesbians from Poland just don't have that universal appeal. I disagree. I think films that honestly question and explore the profound human issues; hopes, fears, dissapointments, dreams, belief; issues that everyone of our epoch fundamentally shares (such as Andrei Rublev and Ordet), are films that truly appeal to humanity in general and on a much wider scale than The Dark Knight or Blade Runner could ever fathom to do. These films try to please their audiences with explosions, expensive set pieces, famous actors - but all it shows is that the filmmakers (the producers, director, cinematographer) have no respect for his audience because all they are doing by making such films is training the audience to insure their own income, not training them by giving them works of art that will inspire. Bollocks. Most people watch films simply to be entertained by taking themselves away from reality for a couple of hours and judging by films like Death Race it's explosions that entertain them. They can't be bothered to think or watch slow moving studies of emotions let alone read a film. There is an audience for the films in your top ten but it's certainly not the people who basically finance the movie industry by paying for tickets.
