It's true.
But YLB, wtf dude? No Back to the Future? You shock me.
I caught a screening at the tail of the summer, was incredibly jazzed for it and still enjoyed it, but that feeling of it being my favorite film wasn't there anymore. I enjoy it greatly, all 3 films really, but it's not as high up there for me as it used to be. It's barely outside of the Top 10.
If NSW hasn't already drowned you in his hugs, I will hug you for this one.

9. Crimes and Misdemeanors (Allen, 1989)
10. The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Kaufman, 1988)
Lynch trying to save the spice. YES!!!!
A City of Sadness will surely make its way in this list eventually, but I've only seen it recently and haven't had the necessary time to fully digest it.
Well, if you say so.
Crimes is very high up on my 80's list, though I'm not sure even on an unfiltered list (I had Allen's Stardust Memories) if it would crack the 10. The Unbearable Lightness of Being almost made it, but I forgot I already had a Kaufman on there.
Sex Lies would have made mine a few years back. The first independent film I ever saw in the theatre, and definitely one that I learned from greatly as a filmmaker. Soderbergh's book about the making of the film (from the script writing to the Cannes experience) is a fantastic read.
Good luck with that. I don't know what to tell you aside from "watch more Ford". Because it's possible to be familiar with and respect Ford and still undervalue his artistry. Woo, Cameron, and Verhoeven just aren't in the same league, even at their peaks.
I've seen plenty of Ford. I've had him on my lists twice already if you recall. I'm not saying I disagree. But if I was dismissive of your statement it was just because I feel the whole discussion had sort of run its course and I don't think there's a whole lot of value in "Lawlno A is obviously better than B." - "Haiwayt no B is better." Since it seems like you had little interest in actually engaging what I had written at that point.
Edit: He might have appeared three times on my lists, actually.
YLB is all growns up.
Certainly understandable. Surprised Ghostbusters didn't make an appearance as well.
Also, makes me wonder what the basterd's favorite film is now. Perhaps I just don't pay attention to things. And perhaps we'll find out if we do an all-time favorites thread.
