Yeah… I was hoping no one would notice… I probably shouldn't be in front of a computer less than five minutes after waking up…

Well, from what I've seen, Chungking Express is his "fastest-paced" (relative, of course), most story-driven film. Chances are you wouldn't love anything else, but anyone who claims to enjoy "visual filmmaking" would be doing themselves a pretty serious disservice by not checking out In the Mood for Love and Happy…
Yeah, and what's so "lost" about the story of 1970?
If you're going to talk about forgotten stories, shouldn't you dig deeper than The Beatles?
I'm sorry, your mic levels were off, can you give us that line again?

Yeah, but the five Allen films you've seen are some of his most "average" movies (except for C&M… but Celebrity and Mighty Aphrodite are, in my opinion at least, pretty horrendous). You've passed judgement on his entire career while ignoring his best stuff like Manhattan, Annie Hall, and Hannah and Her…
Just give the Sklars a new show
Man, I hate baseball but Eight Men Out is an awesome movie.
This Just In!
Everyone Dies!
I agree with the Branagh hate for the most part (looking at you, Hamlet) but I don't think he's always terrible. I've only seen the first series, but he's pretty good in Wallander, even though there are a few too many "wistfully-looking-off-into-the-distance 'actor moments.'"
I don't care enough to do the age research, but what about Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Even if he moves away from interesting roles to do more twee crap like 500 Parentheses of Bullshit and that Seth Rogen cancer movie, he at least is still charismatic.
Yeah… even though I still thought this would be shitty, I at least found the Affleck casting to be a pretty interesting, not-ill-suited role for him.
Which is probably the first time I've thought that about him.
Eh, I'd watch it.
Fuck, this is a useless game, because we're gonna keep forgetting people. I can't believe I left off Lynch, Herzog, and Aronofsky, all of whom I would put above Fincher on my list (even though I didn't rank them).
*every detail
I think the problem with A Beautiful Mind is not just that it misconstrued the story of that man in particular, but also got absolutely everything detail of a horrible disorder wrong, yet still serves as the basis of most people's knowledge of it.
That said, the remaining members of Mr Horse's list are certainly strong contenders for the title. I'd probably single out PTA, Malick, Coens, Fincher, Miyazaki, and Scorsese, but with a special mention to Wong Kar-Wai.
And how about Bela Tarr?
Is no one else going to notice that Caged Horse put Clint Eastwood on that list? Really? The guy has, what, four good movies?
I know that Scorsese hasn't been top-of-his-game recently, but Unforgiven isn't at the Taxi Driver or Raging Bull level that might lead me to forgive a Million Dollar Baby.
So, he's Broadway's Lou Reed?
Wow, I wouldn't have expected that.
For about five seconds I thought that someone felt the need to make an EdTV reference. Luckily, all is well in the world.
Ooh, I'd watch Morricone's old jazzy '50s rock stuff
