What’s more interesting (and revealing about the Richards) is the movies in the last two groups.  Here’s where these silly “Top 100” lists get juicy.  If a list had only safe picks and no controversy, where would be the fun in that?  No, Corliss and Schickel have delved into snootiness, obscurantism, and downright goofiness here.  With “the obscure picks,” the Richards have made their own miniature “The Best Movies You’ve Never Seen” list.  Given a dozen chances to improve our cinematic understanding, they have picked films like “Camille,” “Khandahar,” “Ulysses’s Gaze,” “Berlin Alexanderplatz,” “Smiles of a Summer Night,” “Dodsworth,” and some other movies I’m embarrassed to admit I haven’t even heard of.  About them, I can say nothing, except I’m going to watch all of them that are on DVD.  And maybe even VHS, although it’s so hard to go back. Perhaps “the crazy ones” should be re-named “the movies that we hadn’t ever thought of in terms of greatness” before.  With “Drunken Master II,” the Cronenberg/Goldblum “The Fly,” and Terry Gilliam’s signature “Brazil,” we are being asked to look again more closely.  Corliss and Shickel are using their power as nationwide critics and a list of at least 90 genuinely great movies as an opportunity for us to re-examine what they feel are some of the most overlooked movies in all of film history.  And I’ve been dying to see “The Fly” again, if for no other reason than to watch that guy’s head pop open like a cantaloupe. In addition to not spotting “The Matrix,” “Titanic,” “Gladiator,” or “The Usual Suspects,” it was nice not to see “Gone with the Wind” on the list.  It has a greatness to it, in its overblown, studio-controlled, Technicolor, soap opera way, but I can think of 100 movies that I like more.  Still, it would have been nice if the Richards could have worked in some David Lynch, some Terrence Malick, some Tarkovsky.  But I’m not going to lie:  spotting “Barry Lyndon,” “Charade,” “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” and “Aguirre, The Wrath of God”…awesome. So I think it’s a good list, or at least as good as any other list trying to do the impossible.    The Richards have tried to balance the great movies we know, with the great movies we don’t know, with the historically important ones, and should especially be lauded for their inclusion of so many international movies.  Enough talk…here we go!!
