My Hypothetical Sight and Sound Top 10

Stolen wholesale from Brandon Nowalk via Jacob Olsen, this list takes my 4.5 and 5 star rated fims and chooses 10 of them at random, mirroring the Vishnevetsky Method.

It's fascinating stuff. I haven't rated all the films I've watched, so most of the selections don't seem all that surprising, so I would probably do this again when I can be bothered rating everything.

* Brandon Nowalk's list.

* Jacob Olsen's list.

* A Sight & Sound video about the Vishnevetsky Method.

    Like he says in the video, this is as good a method for picking movies as any other when it comes down to the ridiculous number of 10. Excellent choices, btw.

    Interesting, although I would rather pick the ten films myself (although it wouldn't be an easy task).

    Good to see the most awesome film of all time (Hard Boiled) in the list, by the way. ;-)

    Watched Hard Boiled back to back with A Matter Of Life And Death would certainly be interesting!

    I got the following:

    1. Dirty Harry
    2. Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha
    3. Yojimbo
    4. True Romance
    5. Leaving Las Vegas
    6. Spirited Away
    7. Alien
    8. Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story
    9. Amores Perros
    10. Back to the Future

    An interesting cross-section of films I love, certainly. Interesting experiement.

    I find it very interesting that you've got Prince of Darkness in there. I've got very fond memories of that one... My nickname actually comes from that movie.

    I just made my own list. I didn't use the Vishnevetsky Method, which made it pretty damn hard to narrow it down to only 10 films.

Please to comment.
