The AFI Top 100 - What Were They Thinking? | Tales From Hollywoodland

New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/the-afi-top-100-what-were-they-thinking-tales-from-hollywoodland/

The AFI Top 100 - What Were They Thinking? | Tales From Hollywoodland

This week, Arthur, Julian, and Steve analyze the most recent movie polling for the AFI Top 100, toasting the good choices, arguing over the questionable, and wondering how they could leave off classics like “Dr. Zhivago,” “The Great Escape” and many others.

For someone that doesn't watch musicals, which musicals would you recommend someone to watch to start with the genre

This is probably the most difficult question I've ever been asked when it comes to movies or movie recs. Because... where do I start?

Do I give you a rec from the Golden Age of Hollywood? Do I give you a more modern musical interpretation? Or, you know, do I make the argument that most Disney animated movies also function as musicals, and go that route?

Honestly, the list is huge, and I feel overwhelmed.

So, I'm going to make two exceedingly safe suggestions. One, try watching some films starring the "greats" of the genre: Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, etc. Two, start with these three films: The Sound of Music, Singin' In the Rain, the original West Side Story. You'll find a healthy number of musicals in AFI's Top 100 movies of all time list, possibly also look at the ones in that list.

I hope people will also leave lots of suggestions for you in the comments of this post!

Upsetless AGAIN! I'm tired of blindly deciding!

Based on one news outlet, reception, and performance at the Oscars, I decided with Mister Roberts. Was it the right choice? Who's to say.

Marty boasts the record for the shortest Oscar winner, but still manages to pack its 90 minutes with romance that's not cheesy or boring. It also had a relatively low budget and box office for a winner.

I love Marty. It's so simple, yet so endearing and sweet. After seeing Ernest Borgnine beat the shit out of a guy in From Here to Eternity, it was great to see him play such a soft role. He's just a happy, normal guy looking for love! And he does a wonderful job finding it!

Mister Roberts was the second highest-grossing film of 1955 behind the seemingly unknown Cinerama Holiday. It also had a much larger and recognizable cast, including William Powell (of The Thin Man) in his final acting performance. We'll see Jack Lemmon again soon in one of my favorite Best Picture winners.

I think I had higher hopes for this one. I genuinely enjoyed the humor throughout, which felt timeless and out of place for the 1950s, but the film seemed to lack a strong story. Also coming off of last year's The Caine Mutiny, I'm probably just tired of Navy films.

At the 28th Academy Awards, Marty walked away with 4 of the Big 5, missing out on a Best Actress nom and win. Marty is also one of only 3 Best Picture winners to also win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Mister Roberts took home one Oscar and one additional major award from the Writers Guild.

Both were recognized as Top 10 films of 1955, with Marty also winning Best Film from the NBR. Neither placed in either list of the AFI Top 100.

One new insight as we move into the latter half of the decade is the Director/Editing/Screenplay nom category. These three nominations were seen by all 5 of the films in the 1950s so far, with all 5 also winning for screenplay. Marty missed out on an editing nom, while Mister Roberts received zero of the three nominations.

Take the rest of the insights with a grain of salt, as I chose this film for the Upset. We will eventually see Best Picture Winners earning less at the box office than their peers, but I don't think we're quite there yet.

Unofficial Review: Marty is great. We're ramping up to a span of epics, so having a short, light comedy is really refreshing.

14 is my lucky number so I’m gonna ask 14 and 15 for our favorite Mama Wolf and her problematic mate

~Starlit 🌟

Ps, for the record your version of Colm is the only version I respect as “canon” lol. Everything else is gonna be swept under the rug

**Redacted Headcanon Ship Ask Game: Frenchie's Exclusive Colm & Marie Greer Edition** 14. When one has a cold, what does the other do? Colm never has a cold. Marie makes sure of it. But when Marie gets sick, she's a terrible patient. She can use her healing magic to mitigate the cold symptoms, but she can't entirely deal with them on her own and she refuses to let another healer touch her. So Colm has to practically lock her in the bedroom (hehehehehehehehe) and snuggle her constantly to keep her from getting out of bed and doing chores. He brings her tea and soup and tissues, and the only breaks he takes are to make sure Little Milo is entertained. He actually makes Milo play "assistant" and has him set the breakfast-in-bed tray and help him deliver it to the room. (Milo learned early on from his dad that there should always be a flower on the tray. Usually when he does it, it's a dandelion, but Marie loves that.) 15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote? Marie always picks because Colm doesn't really care about movies or even enjoy them. He really only watches them to sit with her. And he's usually not even watching the movie. He's watching Marie watch the movie. With a big, dopey grin on his face. Because you know that cinephile wolfbitch (/affectionate) is talking to the screen, commenting on everything from the editing to the casting to the score, and saying how she would have done it differently in between providing pop-up movie trivia à la VH1. Marie is always sure to watch everything nominated for an award and she otherwise makes sure they work their way through AFI's Top 100 movies list.

#redacted marie #redacted colm #colm is actually great. erik pls keep up /hj #the greers #redacted headcanons #ask games #frenchie answering asks

BRONZE FOR SAE AND PIPPY GO GO GO GO

GOING GOING RUNNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OC ASK GAME

bronze - what do they do when they lose? do they lose often?

sae

OOOOOOOOOOOOO. i reckon it all depends on who she’s competing with. if she loses to somebody that is respectful or honestly just seems really happy about the win and makes an honest mistake in forgetting to watch their manners, she’ll likely shake their hand and congratulate them. she would be disappointed for sure but not discouraged, bc in her mind (AND in her afi's-- his teachings are real important in deciding how she proceeds) even that loss is something she can learn valuable information from! she would be equally as respectful if her opponent was extremely rude and gloated a whole bunch, like she’d laugh it off and wish them well and all that. but then you look down at her hands and they are balled into fists so tight they are practically shaking LMFAO

not sure if she loses often ummmm. by virtue of her being a pretty uncompetitive person in any other field EXCEPT the field she is an ultimate in, its kind of a toss up i think !! i reckon she knows when to lose. for games and things like that she doesnt usually put 100% into it because she is more focused on fun than coming out on top, if shes not already focused on figuring out the rules lol. if shes playing a game with the kids in her town she'll purposely lose ALL of the time, and real dramatically too hdgfjkgd. clutches her heart and crumbles to the ground so they can all dogpile her immediately kind of dramatic

pippy/erin

PIPPY IS REAL SWEET she's actually kind of similar to sae in that every loss is this ""learning lesson"" or something else on brand for her. its all about staying positive, and not letting the bad times get her down!! she's actually pretty damn annoying to win against because she REALLY doesnt get upset at the loss at all ghefdgj, she just throws her hands in the air like YAYY!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ERIN however i like to imagine as more competitive lmfaooo. she starts off a game of monopoly all smiley and giggly like "ooook!! ill give it my best shot haha 😁" and then like three rounds later she is head down staring at her properties with the most intense wide-eyed stare you have ever seen

again, not sure if she loses often lol i think it depends!! she isnt the most analytical so there are plenty of things you could reasonably beat her at. pippy doesnt "lose big" a whole lot mostly because she's been on a very narrow track for most of her life (which honestly is a huge reason behind her fear of EVENTUALLY losing everything). erin has lost quite a bit and is more accustomed to loss at that point i reckon lol!

#THANK UUUUUU OVID !!!!!! <3 #oc: sae #oc: erin #ask game #ask lee #ovidiomedes

11, 13, 14, 20! 👀

11. oh definitely, i have teared up at many movies and i was barely holding it together in the theater with my family during Inside Out, but i think the movie that made me cry the hardest, like a full-on crying SESSION, was Tomboy (2011). honorable mention to Autism In Love (2015). i miss geeta.

13. of course you know it’s blackberry (WILL NOT DISCLOSE how many times i’ve watched it), but other comfort movies of mine include It’s A Wonderful Life, The Station Agent, and The Truman Show

14. i don’t necessarily “know” “any” directors but boy i really enjoy that ari aster fella. hereditary is so damn good and midsommar was pretty damn good too and beau is afraid was so insane and yet insane in such a way that appealed to me so very very much… the ari aster train has not merely gone off the rails but is somehow making a vertical ascent into the sky at an ever-increasing speed and i’m loving it

20. i always have the AFI top 100 bookmarked thinking i’m gonna go through and watch all of them but most importantly i need to see jaws. it’s time. there’s no excuse

#inbox #gilligould #thank you kathryn!! sorry this is late i took a shower

100 Years, 100... Snubs! - Part One

It’s May miniseries time, Garys! And we’re doing something a little different!

In 1998, the AFI compiled a list of the 100 greatest American films of all time, and turned the list into a primetime special complete with famous faces and a schmaltzy Trisha Yearwood song. It was such a success, the AFI continued to release Top 100 lists for love stories, comedies, stars, and more. For our May miniseries, we are paying a loving tribute to the tradition by selecting our choices for the 100 greatest Oscar snubs of all time, and we have several beloved THOB guests calling in to provide their picks as well!

In part one, we’ll cover our ground rules for selection, including no double mentions for a single category in a year, or double mentions for an artist. And we’ll also be giving the boot to the nomination we would replace in our snubs’ place. Here we kick off the month of May with our first (unranked!) 20 snub selections!
