GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 1993

[Oblivious Maximus]

Was looking into this one just now, seems cool. The serial killer it's loosely based on was also the basis for a cool James Woods movie, I forget the name, but Schramm looks way sleazier.

I don't know if "sleazy" is the word I'd use but it is really gross and just dirty feeling. Buttgereit's a curious filmmaker. He's grimy and experimental but innovative and stylish at the same time. Nekromantik 2 is a brilliant juggling of tone.

Sleazy, gross, dirty-feeling, grimy etc. That's what I meant.

About a week left on this, tagging some fools.

It's a bit difficult to rank movies I've seen 25/26 years ago, though some scenes on youtube helped to refresh my memories a bit and I even found three full versions (but didn't watch them from beginning to end due to lack of time).

Probably my favourite scene from "The Wrong Trousers":

buster keaton himself would be proud of that scene tbh. great film.

 

[Burkhard]

I also love this "chase scene" from "The Curse of the Were Rabbit":

 

[CiG]

God damn those scenes were nostalgic.

 

[Burkhard]

While I'm at it, here's another great chase scene, this time from "A Close Shave":



I especially love what happens at 1:16. Unfortunately, the entire scene is cut off too early, because we don't get to see the "Thick Porridge Mix" being used.

 

[CiG]

Anybody need any more time for their list or can I go ahead and warp this up?

 

[no country for old wainds]

Pleasantly surprised that Last Action Hero is on any lists at all, let alone multiple. The high point of the entire medium.
