A few of my Favou rite Cl as s ic Fil ms
Exegesis as to Method
Methodology: Sole basis for selection and ordering was impact on the compiler. Supposed
historical or cultural significance, commercial success or availability for viewing were not
considered.
Excluded films were either not viewed; recollected too indistinctly to evaluate as to impact;
made a negative impression on the compiler; or made an impression which for one reason or
another was not quantifiable. Compiler acknowledges that certain nationalities, filmmakers
and genres may be underrepresented with respect to the population of films as a whole.1 No
effort was made to alter the methodology to make the list more representative or balanced as
to genre, nationality, etc., or to include token or multiple titles (as the case may be) by famous
or “important” directors whose work has not had a significant impact on the compiler.
Rigorous adherence to this methodology sometimes resulted, on the one hand, in the inclusion
of one or two supposed “lesser” titles and the exclusion (or lower rating) of renowned
“masterpieces”; and, on the other hand, in the inclusion (or higher rating) of films with a
maudit status according to the generally accepted canons of film criticism. Compiler makes
no apologies for this, and, in fact, highly recommends this approach to the reader. It’s like
wasabi: It cleanses the palate.
Compiler allows that additional films from the past ten years may be included once their
impression has become quantifiable. Compiler intends to expand this list to include more
experimental cinema, documentaries and short films, but can make no commitment as to
when this might be done.2
1
Compiler is aware that this applies in particular to certain popular comedy genres; to films for and about children;
to films about war and the military; to films about professional sports and the professional sports industry; and to
animation. In the case of the first four categories listed, the absence of films on the list is partially a result of the
compiler’s lack of interest in viewing them. Having acknowledged the possible negative predisposition engendered by
this genre taste factor, compiler nevertheless avers that he has viewed many comedies, films about war, films about
professional sports, and films for and about children, most of which would be included in a list of films that left a
negative impact on the compiler. For purposes of clarification and full disclosure of prejudices: the compiler hates
war and the military; finds professional sports tedious, annoying and jejune; likes children in principle but believes
they have been ill-served by the cinema both as subject matter and as audience; and finds life marvelously droll but
professional clowning, mugging, vacuous banter and similar shtick profoundly depressing. And “romantic comedy,”
in the compiler’s experience, is the ultimate oxymoron. The only area of real concern to the compiler is the fourth
mentioned, where he feels he may not have had sufficient exposure to sophisticated examples of animated cinema.
Time permitting, compiler intends to correct this.
2
This brings us to the topic of “music videos.” The compiler does not own a TV (only a video monitor), his only
experience with “cable television” has been in hotel and motel rooms, and his only exposure to “MTV” has been in hotel
and motel rooms on those nights when HBO was offering one of their autopsy specials and The Porno Channel was on
pay-per-view. He recalls having seen an old video of Barry McGuire singing “Eve of Destruction” while eating carryout
Chinese in a motel in Yucca Valley, CA in November, 2000, but has elected not to include this item as its impact on him
was not quantifiable. The compiler nevertheless acknowledges that music videos are an interesting form, and muses
what to do about them. Should he make a vague commitment to watch a stack of old Queensrÿche and MC Hammer
videos? No way, khemosabi. But, as an insatiable music fan, he does intend to catch up on videos of artists whom he
likes. He admits that, as in the case of opera videos (some of which are included above), if he doesn’t like the music, he
isn’t going to watch the video, and it would probably have a “negative impact” on him anyhow. As far as this list is
concerned, it presently includes precisely two (3) music videos – two rock/pop, one “classical”; two fairly recent, one
perhaps one of the first two or three ever made --, and all by artists whom he likes abundantly. See if you can find ‘em.
- page 33 of 34 Exegesis as to Method
For purposes of clarifying the methodology employed in the compilation and ordering of this
list still further, the compiler has created the following graph:
-5
-4
-3
-2
-1
0
+1
+2
+3
+4 +5
Imagine that the full span of this graph, from -5 through +5, includes all motion pictures
viewed by the compiler during this lifetime. Films distributed along the red dimension of the
graph would be those films which had a negative impact or left a negative impression on the
compiler. Films in the black “zero” section would be films that left little or no impression on
the compiler, films regarding which he is profoundly ambivalent or undecided, and films which
he has simply forgotten. Films distributed along the green dimension of the graph would be
those films that had a positive impact or left a positive impression on the compiler. It is very
important to note that the list set forth above contains only those titles which would be
distributed along the green dimension of the graph, and excludes films which would fall within
the black or the red dimensions. This methodology eliminates any reference to the nature of
the compiler’s positive affect (or, more strictly speaking, libidinal k£qexis) upon viewing any
given film. That is to say, the positive impact experienced by the compiler could have been
the result of general æsthetic admiration, energy generated by the viewing, response to a
film’s virtuoso filmmaking technique or one or more aspects of such technique, or even the
strong impression left by a single performance. Within each category (+1 through +5) the
compiler created an equal number of subcategories, within which titles are listed
alphabetically. In other words, a 5-5 for one or more reasons, or globally, left a slightly
stronger impression or had a slightly stronger impact than a 5-4 film, and a much stronger
impression (or stronger impact) than a 1-1 film (the “lowest” positive category).
It had been compiler’s original intent to exclude films with which he or his companies had
been associated. On reflection he decided that this would be unfair to the films and to the
filmmakers. Compiler apologizes to the filmmakers, cast, etc., of these films if they are
displeased with the placement of their films on this list, and reminds them that this list is not
intended as an evaluation of the quality or value of the films themselves, but merely as a
record of the impression or impact they made on the compiler. If the compiler were to
attempt to rank films by some “objective” standard of quality, the films included and their
ordering might be quite different.3
Errors and omissions in the above list are to be attributed entirely to the methodology and/or
to the compiler. The compiler’s response to comments such as “What about _____________?”
is, “Fine. Put it on your list.”
Response to anticipated comments and complaints regarding “low” placement of certain films:
Scores of films did not “make” this list at all for the reasons given above (they made a
3
Neither the inclusion nor the ranking of films or filmmakers on this list should be taken as an ethical or political evaluation. It should go
without saying that the compiler does not agree with, let alone wish to promote, the political, social or religious views of most of these films.
The compiler has noticed that a film does not always have a negative impact on him simply because he disagrees with the position it takes. Of
course, sometimes it does. For this reason, although several films by Leni Riefenstahl appear above, TRIUMPH DES WILLENS does not. The
list also includes works by filmmakers whose actions the compiler believes to have been reprehensible. Notable examples would be Edward
Dmytryk, Werner Klinger and Elia Kazan. The compiler likes some of their films, but does not excuse their behavior.
On the other hand, there are numerous films toward which the compiler feels sympathetic on a political or social level – more sympathetic,
perhaps, than to some of the films on this list – but which made a negative impact on him for other reasons, generally
æsthetic. The methodology required such films to be excluded, and they were. To sum up, no film has been included solely because the
compiler agreed with its politics, however a few films (e.g., TRIUMPH DES WILLENS) have been excluded solely (or primarily) because he
disagreed with their politics.

negative impression or very little impression, or they simply were not memorable). All films
included on this list had some impact on the compiler. This list represents only a subset of all
motion pictures the compiler has viewed during his lifetime.
Languages, alternate titles: An effort was made to cite most titles in their original languages.
Compiler apologizes for misspellings and inconsistencies.4
Representations & Warranties. Compiler makes no representation or warranty, express or
implied, that he has the intelligence, taste or sensitivity to comprehend or evaluate any work
of art, or to assign to any work of art a relative value on any scale, objective or subjective.
Parting shot: The great composer and music writer Hanns Eisler said "Wer nur von Musik
etwas versteht, versteht auch davon nichts."
In all candor (and at great risk to his
reputation), the compiler attests that one could probably breathe, think and live entirely within
music, learn everything from it, be just fine, and have need of neither antecedents nor
correlatives. However, this would not be the case for movies With apologies and arrant
obeisance to Eisler, one might truly say: "Wer nur von Kino etwas versteht, versteht auch
davon nichts."
