Official Film Snobs Club, We have better taste than you. Options

[NoSex]

I was sick of boring clubs, and I thought exclusion and bitter attitudes could spice up the "club scene" here on cB. So, I decided to make a club for Film Snobs. This is a place for cinephilia, in the best and worst ways. If you like movies, and you think you like good movies, you may want to apply here. But, I'm not going to be easy on you guys, I hate most of your taste. Give me crap, and I'll give it right back. Those of you who don't completely suck will be accepted into our cute little bullshit corner and will then become judge and jury in deciding whether or not future applicants should be allowed into our little circle. So, here is all you have to do, post a Top 20 list. Twenty movies that you think reflect your distinct taste and interest in cinema. If I like it, you're in. If I'm not sure, I may ask you a few questions. If I hate it, I'll ignore you or throw up.

As a club, we will discuss film, recommend work, and pretend we have status when we truly do not. Knowledge is power, f**kers.

Exclusive clubs rule. No Nates.

20. 10 things I hate about you-1999 (i needed a filler)

Why do you need a filler? And, of all possible "fillers" why the hell would you pick such an atrocious piece of filth?

Further, why does your list just look like a synthesis of all the accepted applications?

And, lastly, top five head explosions, please.

Thornhill's awkwardness around women against his calmness around danger, makes him a character

I like your answer, but I'm still really not a fan of your top 20 - it sort of really turns me off, especially in the case of The Fugitive and A Beautiful Mind. So, I guess since I'm alright with your answer, I'll just throw more challenges at you at the chance that I'll like your answers that much more than your list.

Top five documentaries, please.

[Will other members vote, please? I need some additional input.]

1) Sorry, Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford make me lose control over my bodily functions.
2) Same for Russel Crowe and Ed Harris.
3) I'm not gay.
4) To be honest I don't really do documentaries so much. The few I've ever actually seen include Farenheit 9/11, Who Killed the Electric Car?, and An Inconvenient Truth. And those were just because of school. I like the style and they're things I'd watch I just have to be in a situation where I'd want to watch it. They're the types of things I'd be randomly channel surfing and suddenly pick up because it looks kind of cool and I get sucked in.

I'm not gay.

Well, since you're not gay, I guess I'm going to have to say, "no."
Try back after you've seen at least a few minutes of a Herzog or Malle documentary.

The whole "I'm not gay" was a follow up to my irrational responses to those male actors, namely Harrison Ford. But if I were gay, he'd be my man crush.

At any rate, any recommendations? I actually was interested in seeing Grizzly Man.

At any rate, any recommendations? I actually was interested in seeing Grizzly Man.

Grizzly Man is fantastic, Herzog's narration is meditative, insightful, and haunting.
The Corporation is a brave and investigatory journey into hijacked capitalism - a modern political documentary worth seeing (no Moore fluff).
The Thin Blue Line is a bending and assaulting representation of police incompetence and a broken justice system gone mostly unseen by the societies of America. If you want a film to piss you off, watch this (it's amazing). Morris gives the story with no commentary.
The Man With a Movie Camera is an experimental and historically interesting look at society within an oppressive 1920's Soviet Union. The documentary anticipates many of the later photographic techniques which would be used around the world within the decades to come - way before it's time.
One we can watch at the same time (cause I've been dieing to see it): The White Diamond (2004), another Herzog.
