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.

Top 5 Ultra Violent Scenes according to Me.

That really wasn't what I was looking for at all. What I really wanted was gore:



And, because of my extreme disappointment in your response, I'm going to have to decline your application. You seem to have a genuine interest in film, you really just need to dedicate some time to seeing some movies that fall outside of popular opinion or AFI Top 100 lists. I mean, honestly, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has far more disturbing and interesting meat hooks - in comparison to Ichi the Killer (which is sort of just a joke). I own both Ichi the Killer and Audition - I'm just not particularly proud of it. See some Italian horror, it'll sweat your balls off.

1. Y Tu Mama Tambien

I'm going to watch that movie tomorrow, probably. I'll let you know how I feel about it.

A few questions:

Which Crash, which The Eye, which 12 Angry Men?
Top five monster movies.
Or
Top five movies featuring a largely punk driven soundtrack.

It was worth a shot. But seeing as how you haven't even seen Y Tu Mama Tambien yet, then I honestly lost the point in trying to join anyways. I question whether you have seen any of Alfonso Cuaron's other foreign work, but please spare me the IMDB copy and paste, I'm past the point of caring.

and you are right Texas Chainsaw had bloody scenes, but thats because your also referring to the remade version, where as I'm loyal to the original. Which had no blood on screen, or violent images. Seeing as how you can only seem to grasp ultra violent as the bloodiest images, really shows to me the narrow minded films you like to watch.

Good luck to everyone else.

As someone that has seen and owns Y Tu Mama Tambien, (Nate, watch it soon, I actually would like my copy back pretty soon) I don't consider it something that everyone should see, let alone have it serve as some sort of basis of judgment on someone else's taste. This isn't to say that I think it's a bad movie by any means, I just didn't find it as terribly impressive as you do, apparently.

I think someone is just a little hurt. And, honestly, his comment wasn't too far off if your #1 is Casablanca and #2 is A Clockwork Orange. Your list seemed more like a list of "movies everyone puts on top movie lists because they feel like they're supposed to" and offered little in the way of personalization. At least that's the feel I got from it.
