@Sam: That...Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!<br /><br />@Sam: That's a nice list, Sam, and certainly a good platform for myself. I've five of those (and only felt lukewarm to <i>In the Loop</i>). I came up with a to-see list this morning, and it is absolutely daunting. It might be this time next year before I finally published a best-of-09, yet I'm strangely comfortable with that.<br /><br />I might contribute a list of my own to the silents poll, although my silents knowledge is much more limited than it seems. I'm a silent comedy buff, and still need to educate myself on some of the dramas. Per usual, I'm looking forward to yours and Mr. Fish's lists. I enjoyed the 90s countdown and added multiple unseen films to my master list. You're doing good work over there!T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-25446690136335383792009-12-08T18:28:25.162-05:002009-12-08T18:28:25.162-05:00I second what Film Dr. and Tony have said, and hav...I second what Film Dr. and Tony have said, and have lamented your absence, much as I realize what you are doing is really a thousand times more important than blogging.<br /><br />The National Board of Review top choice is maddening, as I found UP IN THE AIR a grossly overrated affair. But I'll leave it at that for now. I haven't even begun to assemble my own list, as there are a few films like Audiard's THE PHOPHET, Henecke's THE WHITE RIBBON, Eastwood's INVICTUS and Ford's A SIMPLE MAN which must be seen. But these are my prime chandidates at this point:<br /><br />Bright Star (Campion)<br />A Serious Man (Coens)<br />35 Shots of Rum (Denis)<br />Antichrist (Von Trier)<br />Rembrandt's J'Accuse (Greenaway)<br />Summer Hours (Assaysas)<br />Up (Docter)<br />Star Trek (Abrams)<br />The Hurt Locker (Bigelow)<br />Somers Town (Meadows)<br />In the Loop (Iannuci)<br />Bad Lieutenant: PONO (Herzog)<br />Tokyo Sonata (Kurosawa)<br />La Danse (Wiseman)<br />Flame and Citron (Madsen)<br />Everlasting Delights (Troell)<br />Goodbye Solo (Bahrani)<br />The House of the Devil (West)<br /><br />and perhaps a few others.<br /><br />I really would hope that one day we can all read a short story collection for you my friend.<br /><br />At Wonders, T.S. we will be commencing in about 10 days with our comprehensive Silent Film Poll, where Mr. Fish will be conduction a Top 100 day by day rather than the usual Top 50. I can imagine how many of your beloved Chaplin, Keaton and early German silents will b eon there!<br /><br />Welcome back.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-30443255609270278242009-12-05T11:09:42.660-05:002009-12-05T11:09:42.660-05:00Yes, welcome back old friend.
