If it's a list of objectivity instead of personal taste then he's right, Citizen Kane single-handedly revolutionized cinema and without it movies would be nothing. It is perhaps the most important film of all time.

It was forced guilt trap with political message, just like the Hunt. That the reason why it is not sincere.
>Hero
have you seen the fucking movie? the kingdom was literally RPC communist party with same agenda.
>Hitchcock
He made superb B-movies. I don't particularly value innovation and technical aspects like some fucking autistic nerd.

Where's the capeshit? He could have at least put the Dark Knight instead of Memento. Just seems like a try-hard to have a long list without any capeshit when they are the most culturally significant films of the current century.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of beingsaved

Jazz serves a cultural function in the music scene. It is a signifier for musical "adulthood." To embrace jazz is to don a kind of graduation cap, signifying a broadening of tastes outside "mere" rock music. This ostentatious display of "sophistication" is an insult, and I find the graduation cappers transparent and tedious. Certainly there must be interesting music one could call "jazz." There must be. I've never heard it, but I grant that it is out there somewhere.
Jazz has a non-musical parallel: Christiania, the "free" zone in Copenhagen. In Christiania, like in jazz, there is no law. People are left to their own inventions to create and act as they see fit. In Jazz, the musicians are allowed to improvise over and beside structural elements that may themselves be extemporaneous. Sounds good, doesn't it? Freedom -- sounds good.
The reality is much bleaker. Christiania is a squalid, trashy string of alleys with rag-and-bone men selling drugs, tie-dye and wretched food. Granted Total Freedom, and this is what they've chosen to do with it, sell hash and lentil soup? Jazz is similar. The results are so far beneath the conception that there is no English word for the dissappointment one feels when forced to confront it. Granted Total Freedom, you've chosen to play II V I and blow a goddamn trill on the saxophone? Only by willfully ignoring its failings can one pretend to appreciate it as an idiom and don the cap.

Underground is such an overrated movie, I am glad based Slavoj trashed it as it exoticized the Yugoslav war.
I am still undecided on Angelopoulos, some aspects of him are truly great in capturing the feeling of the times, but he is very overindulgent.
Rosemary's Baby is not even Polansky's best movie, quite boring to be honest.
The rest are pretty safe choices, all recognized classics.

Sansho the Bailif is one of the best films of all time. The rest are all rock solid picks too. This is what elevates him from Tomatometer "TOP CRITIC" hacks like Mendelson and Kermode who only like contemporary pop culture trash like Nolan.
He might piss and throw people off with literal shitpost reviews like Torque, but he is legit.
