Very nice film. Ozu is one of my favorite directors. The acting and directing are great. However,I liked "An Autumn Afternoon" a bit more, which is basically a remake that puts more emphasis in the father (Chishu Ryu again) than in the daughter. I found the story more engaging in "Aut...

Personally I really liked Boyhood and Birdman. Two of the best movies i have seen this decade and in this century for that matter.
I would choose Boyhood between the two although I'm not disgusted with Birdman's win.

A Brighter Summer Day (this one was recently restored, and has also been rumored for quite some time) It would be nice to see that one getting a good treatment. Any other films people wish Criterion would give their treatment of? A City of Sadness (another Taiwanese film). I really like that movie ...

8 o 7 . I'll go with 7.

PD: Seeing the above results (9 and 10) i'll say i'm not surprised if it's even lower.

chevisan

Ok, if I'm not mistaken there's still left:
Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers, Revolver, London Calling, Funeral, Ziggy Stardust, Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds, VU & Nico and OK Computer.

OK Computer #1 again ? I think it will.
No. 2 ? Pet Sounds, VU & Nico, Revolver ? Another surprise ?

chevisan

Well, there are 3 Bjork albums in the top 100 after all ! That's a nice surprise. What's more surprising is that Post is above Homogenic (at least for me).

PD: My top 25 are still in the game

. It seems I have similar tastes as the consensus.

chevisan

Nice. Only 2 of my top 30 have showed up, and my top 25 is still intact :music-rockon: Good work btw ! It's just me or Bjork will do really well this time around ? It sure looks that way. At this point i don't know if she will do extremely well or extremelly bad. I mean, it's strange that Debut or P...

chevisan

Good, only one of my top 30 has appeared so far

.

It's just me or Bjork will do really well this time around ? Only Medulla and Vespertine have showed up so far.

chevisan

Keep them coming !

I'm surprised to see Bryter Layter so low, btw. Especially taking into account that it made it to the top 150 in the last poll.

Now that you mention it 7 out of my top 10 albums are from that era. I was born in 1980 BTW. I believe there will be some levelling up, but 65-75 will maintain the crown, at least for a long time. I think at the end it all has to do with the quality of the music (or at least in my "personal&quo...

Hello, I’m Sebastian, 34 years old and I live in Montevideo, Uruguay (yes, I'm not kidding). I've always been interested in rock music but I've got really interested in popular music like 15 years ago when I was in University (studying electric engineering) and became a Radiohead fan. Around that ti...
