I think I like Akira over Ran, too. The former has considerable influence on animated films, possibly enough to make up for the latter's clear win in acclaim. And then Akira, I would think, has at least a little advantage in popularity. Either way, they're in the same ballpark overall, I'd say.


I could get on board with that too.

I wouldn't have Raise the Red Lantern over In the Mood for Love. The latter has more than four times views on IMDb (without adjusting for era but these films are only 9 years apart) and ranked much more generously on tspdt (the top 20 vs the top 500). I would maybe give influence to Raise the Red Lantern but I don't think it's enough to overturn the match-up.

Very good point, I'll hold off on it then.

Post subject:  Re: 100 Greatest Movies

Our Hospitality seems a bit high. I'd clearly give Meet Me in St. Louis and To Be or Not To Be acclaim and popularity so I'd put it at 246.

Also I'd give a lot of the movies below Gravity acclaim and influence.
Comparing it with 2 movies that are 10+ spots below it
Gravity vs Memento
Initial Popularity: Gravity easily
Lasting Popularity: Memento fairly easily
Initial Acclaim: Close, maybe Gravity
Lasting Critical Acclaim: Memento
Lasting Audience Acclaim: Memento easily
Influence: Memento

Popularity: Gravity
Acclaim: Memento
Influence: Memento

Gravity vs The Manchurian Candidate
Initial Popularity: Gravity easily
Lasting Popularity: Hard to compare since 2010s films are disproportionately favored on pretty much all the rating sites. Maybe a tie
Initial Acclaim: Pretty much a tie
Lasting Critical Acclaim: The Manchurian Candidate
Lasting Audience Acclaim: The Manchurian Candidate
Influence: The Manchurian Candidate by quite a bit

Popularity: Gravity fairly easily
Acclaim: The Manchurian by a small amount
Influence: The Manchurian Candidate by quite a bit

Boyhood vs Moonlight
Initial Popularity: Tie
Lasting Popularity: Close, leaning towards Moonlight
Initial Acclaim: Pretty much a tie
Lasting Critical Acclaim: Moonlight
Lasting Audience Acclaim: Seems pretty close
Influence: Neither has much but leaning towards Moonlight

Popularity: Pretty much a tie
Acclaim: Moonlight slightly
Influence: Moonlight by a small amount

Maybe we could put Moonlight right above it, or something.

I don't know if we need Moonlight on here before La La Land or arguably A Separation.

Well, I'd say it has very similar, and probably better, credentials to Boyhood so if it's below those two, Boyhood probably should as well

Post subject:  Re: 100 Greatest Movies

Well, paul wanted to get Boyhood on the list as far back as when we were at #126-150 range. Would be kinda cruel to deny it to him now. Anyway, wanna wrap up this section?

Just saying but Boyhood has quite a bit better rating on IMDb than Moonlight. Is it cause Moonlight is viewed as a "woke" movie? Plausible but still. Also, while Moonlight is now rated higher than Boyhood on tspdt it's also a rather recent development.

All good points, I could certainly see Memento above Gravity.

I’m a little concerned how much we are pushing Boyhood down. Like we’ve mentioned before, it is one of the absolute most acclaimed films of all time, especially for a modern film. I’m also not seeing a justification for Moonlight to leapfrog both La La Land & A Separation (A Separation in particular wins both influence and audience acclaim pretty easily). Just my thought - but I’m totally fine with Boyhood staying where it is and letting the other 2010’s films wait for later.

Well, I did originally suggest moving moonlight up, not the other way around.
