bullshit rankings: pt. one

lists are dumb, i know.  i haven't really given one much thought in many years.  but while trying to tell a younger co-worker what i though the few good kubrick movies were when he was talking about clockwork i thought it might be fun to occasionally post ranked lists of the filmes i've seen from some of the bigger names in the cannon and probably some random directors as well.  this is mostly for fun and with little thought.  i will however try and be as upfront as possible both in my preferences and in the often embarrassing gaps in what i've seen.  hopefully this and the cinema round up will happen a few times a month.

so lets start with kubrick:

- eyes wide shut
- dr. strangelove
- barry lyndon
- the killing
-
- 2001
-
- clockwork orange
- paths of glory
- the shining
-
- full metal jacket
- killers kiss

still haven't seen lolita or spartacus.









and two others that are easier due to sparse output


terrence malick:

- days of heaven
- the tree of life
- the new world
-
- thin red line
- badlands


















andrei tarkovsky:

- stalker
- the sacrifice
- mirror
-
- solaris
- andrei rublev
-
- nostalgia

haven't seen ivan's childhood or the steamroller & the violin











and one more that will pair well with the next roundup, as the top film is also one i just finally watched:

steven soderbergh:

-schizopolis
-solaris
-
- the limey
-
- oceans 11
- out of sight
-
-sex lies and videotape
-
- bubble
- oceans 12
-
- oceans 13
- traffic
- che

12 movies i haven't seen (only interested in a few - like kafka)
