The final round of cuts. Finally you shall see my top 10 films of all time. Exciting, isn't it? I said, EXCITING, ISN'T IT?!?!!?!? (It isn't.)

This is the link for the initial post where I talk at length about this project. http://atleastyouregettingsome.blogspot.com/2012/08/working-towards-top-10-part-1.html

 Beneath the Top 10 of all time, you will find the list of cuts from all the previous rounds.

I didn't write anything after these cuts. Why? I was lazy. I will say this, I added a film, ANGUS, to the list and decided on a criteria. These are ten films that saved my life at one point or another. Ultimately, I guess my criteria for what makes a work of art great is if it has the ability to save a life. I am deeply grateful that all these films exist. For those out there making films, I hope that in some way those are your aspirations... if not, what's the point?

All that said, I could do this exercise next month and find myself making many changes. I guarantee it. I'm starting to learn that I hate picking favorites.

Feel free to tell me what you would have added to this list and / or why I'm nuts for cutting something. I find that shit fascinating.

Working Towards a Top 10: Part 5: 40 - 25

Round 4 of cuts. If you want an entire write-up of what I am doing... here is the first post where I "go long" on it. http://atleastyouregettingsome.blogspot.com/2012/08/working-towards-top-10-part-1.html

Under you'll find my TOP 25 FILMS OF ALL TIME. Beneath that, the list of cuts from the previous rounds.

I didn't write anything after these cuts. Why? A couple reasons. First, I was lazy. Second, I just pulled from the gut. If I tried to think about the cuts, I would never decide. As it is, I stared at this list for 3 days trying to chop out 15 films. I also have started making a list of films I forgot to add to the initial 70. Some of which may have made it into this top 25.

If you go back to the other posts in this series, there may be a little added insight as to why I ended up cutting certain films on certain days. It's been a rough few weeks. I am finally back to my normal state of peace and balance. Perhaps that is why certain films didn't make the cut this time around.

All that said, I could do this exercise next month and find myself making many changes. I guarantee it. I'm starting to learn that I hate picking favorites.

Feel free to tell me what you would have added to this list and / or why I'm nuts for cutting something. I find that shit fascinating.

Working Towards a Top 10: Part 4: 50 - 40

Round 3 of cuts. If you want an entire write-up of what I am doing... here is the first post where I "go long" on it. http://atleastyouregettingsome.blogspot.com/2012/08/working-towards-top-10-part-1.html

Under you'll find the remaining 40 and beneath that the list of cuts from the three rounds

I didn't write anything after these cuts. This has me being extremely honest about what is a favorite. Notice the amount of challenging films that got cut because on any given day, frankly, I prefer some of the more charming films that remain on the list. Also, as my mood dictates what gets cut from day to day... the amount of anxiety that has been making me a bit of a wreck and kinda "off" this whole week (trying to hide anxiety is always a mistake; I can't even begin to imagine what my over-compensated masking is making me seem like) has me looking at the cultural and personal importance of the lighter, more comedic films (comedy is important, but that doesn't excuse them from being dumb... none of these comedies are dumb, dummy). I'm also noticing how much I value romance, love and how much the loss of it resonates with me.

Feel free to tell me what you would have added to this list and / or why I'm nuts for cutting something. I find that shit fascinating.

Under you'll find the remaining 50 and beneath that the list of cuts from both rounds. This round featured the most brutal cutting based on the "only one film per director in the top 25 criteria."

I wrote a brief sentence or two after most of the cut films explaining why they had to go.

Working Towards a Top 10: Part 2: 70 - 60

Here is the first 10 cuts of my "Top 70." Not gonna type much this time out... if you want an entire write-up of what I am doing... here is the first post where I "go long" on it. http://atleastyouregettingsome.blogspot.com/2012/08/working-towards-top-10-part-1.html

Under the remaining 60, I shall list the first 10 to go. As I really want the top 25 or so to only feature one film per director, some great films from directors already represented may start making the cut first.

Feel free to tell me what you would have added to this list and / or why I'm nuts for cutting something. I find that shit fascinating.

Working Towards a Top 10: Part 1

This right here is, as always, simply a list of my FAVORITE films of all time. Trying to list the best films is such a boring and pointless task that says very little about the author. Besides, who can argue with what I say is my favorite? You could, I guess, but you'd just be an asshole. As I briefly mentioned, what someone deems their favorite says a little something about the person doing that there deeming. If one wants to have a conversation about that, I'm more than happy to have that conversation. The other reason I don't bother with "bests" is basically for two reasons... 1) who the fuck am I (and in many cases, you)? 2) there are plenty of things I haven't seen for no reason other than time and access. As one should probably know, a list of favorites is a living document.

Life changes us over time. It beats us down and makes us cynical. Later we find hope and happiness. Then turns us into a quivering ninny over a girl that we loved. And so on. We all (or at least I) have experienced this world through many phases, like the moon, but without the cyclical repetition. There may be certain phases that are similar, but as I age, the previous experiences have altered the phases in subtle, yet noticeable ways. As a result, my taste changes at a rapid pace. So of course (prepare yourself for one of my many "no shit" statements), through time I have found that my appreciation of art changes as I change. My aesthetic preferences change. My sense of humor evolves. What I find meaningful changes. What makes my heart go all pitter patter changes. My values change. What I find comforting changes. What I find thrilling changes. What offends me changes. What annoys me changes. And on and on and on. We grow older; we grow wiser. And blah blah blah.

I gave myself a few rules when I made this list. First, I could use no references (not even glancing at my DVD shelves), it had to strictly be from my head. This is of course slightly problematic as I do not have the memory of an elephant; I more so have the memory of a peanut... consumed by an elephant and shat out... baking in the hot LA Zoo sun. Second, once I hit 70 films, I had to stop. I wanted to keep going and there are some great films that I adore that I just couldn't put down, because rules are rules (I made this rule while making the list because, frankly, there had to be an endpoint). Third, I only had 3 days to think about this and there could never be a brainstorming session. This had to be stuff I thought about at random moments and jotted down in my little Evernote ap. Fourth, Oh, fuck it. No more rules to be mentioned.

This list is 70 films long. I am going to force myself to cut 10 films every few days until I get down to 10. I will post the new list each time I chop 10. Below is the raw 70. They are in no particular order. In fact, if you think they are in an order of how I thought of them, you'd be wrong. Although, the top few will probably hang around for quite a while.

Shit. Three final notes: 1) I was generally mindful of filmmakers when I made my selections. What I mean is that although some filmmakers have more than one film, I stopped myself with others when there was one (semi-)clear standout in my mind. I am going to try to end the top 20-30 by making sure only one film by a filmmaker is represented. 2) As I didn't use any references when writing these down, there may be some errors in the spelling or titles. I'm sure you can figure out what films I mean. 3) I DID NOT PROOFREAD ANY OF THE TEXT ABOVE. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT CAME OUT AND MAY BE NONSENSICAL OR REPETITIVE. OH WELL. I AIN'T GETTING PAID FOR THIS SHIT.

Feel free to tell me what you would have added that I left off. I find that shit fascinating.

Viewing Log - February 2012

Following is the list of TV shows and films that I watched in February of 2012.

The grades are strictly personal; merely a reflection of how much I enjoyed what I viewed as documented in the immediate moment that it ended. It lacks reflection on the work, discussion, and so on. These numbers could probably be changed even a day later and will probably change upon subsequent viewings or upon further reflection. If you even start to think this is some kind of gradation of "quality," I'll slap you. "How can you think this is better than that?" would be the wrong way to approach these grades. Why? BECAUSE THAT WASN'T MY INTENTION AND I AM NOT MAKING THAT STATEMENT. In fact, I never went back to compare grades between one and the next.

As you can probably tell, I rarely sleep more than 4 hours a night. Sleep is for the weak. There are only 24 hours in a day; why waste 'em sleeping?

Here is the key to deciphering what those letters n' numbers within the () mean.
