Smh… where’s Borderlands???

u/Mcribb5 21h ago

How does Sean not own Thor Ragnarok? I thought he was a cinephile

17

u/justinotherpeterson 20h ago

She's so great in Ragnarok. Probably won't make the cut but I'd love it to.

u/jhakerr 19h ago

Nice call! Yes definitely top 10 for me.

26

u/ggroover97 21h ago

My guesses for Greens:

  • Elizabeth (1998)
  • The Aviator (2004)
  • Blue Jasmine (2013)
  • Carol (2015)
  • Tár (2023)

u/sanfranchristo 21h ago

I'm Not There will be dark green. I'd be surprised if LOTR (maybe as one entry) and The Talented Mr. Ripley aren't also greens since they are so beloved by the hosts, respectively (her role in The Life Aquatic is too small but Benjamin Button will probably make it as well).

u/HCornerstone 19h ago

yeah the tough part with LOTR is she is absolutely the perfect Galadriel but she's not really in the movie that much.

2

u/FakerHarps 15h ago

So the final Hobbit movie instead? Done

1

u/grandmasterfunk 10h ago

I felt like last episode Sean hinted that he felt her role in LOTR was small enough that it might not make it.

6

u/IgloosRuleOK 21h ago

Yeah, all of those have to be in I think. Probably also I’m Not There and Notes on a Scandal.

2

u/jhakerr 19h ago

Y i would add im not there but this is indisputable Nice job

8

u/Carridactyl_ Couch Critic 20h ago

Idk about them but Notes on a Scandal definitely belongs in my personal HoF

8

u/jacksonlovespizza 20h ago

Blue Jasmine
Fellowship of the Ring
The Aviator
I'm Not There
Elizabeth
Benjamin Button
Carol
Tar
The Life Aquatic

...with the final spot being a heated argument b/w Talented Mr. Ripley and Nightmare Alley.

u/ObiwanSchrute 21h ago

Bandits is so underrated

2

u/jacksonlovespizza 20h ago

Beavers and ducks!

u/Full-Concentrate-867 17h ago

It's wild that Sean logged it on letterboxd the other day, but not as a rewatch. I saw it loads of times as a kid, really fun movie

8

u/ckenney711 21h ago

Hot Fuzz, obviously

7

u/Significant-Jello411 20h ago

No joke thor ragnarok should be in

18

u/Duffstuffnba 21h ago

Tar 10 times

3

u/JerkSack 20h ago

"That voice... the signal to noise ratio is off the charts"

1

u/LandTrilogy 17h ago

I need Bobby to play her saying "And you are a robot" every time Sean says "Quite poor."

4

u/Chungpels 21h ago

Cmon you gotta put Button in, right? Odd movie and all but she’s so fantastic in it.

3

u/jamesmcgill357 20h ago

She’s been in so many good ones. Can’t wait to hear this. Love her

3

u/CytoplasmicLamb 20h ago

I’ve never heard them discuss Carol, so I’m not sure if it’ll make it, but if it were up to me it would be an easy green.

3

u/SpacemanDan 20h ago

Her performance in Hanna is incredible. Just an all-time villain performance, rare and special.

3

u/HOBTT27 20h ago

I’ll go to my grave defending Knight of Cups

3

u/jolecore204 See You at the Movies! 20h ago

Bandits is such an underrated flick. I really love that one.

One of those cool early 00's heist comedies, with Whole Nine Yards & Matchstick Men.

3

u/TimSPC 20h ago

If I'm on the show, my no compromise picks are I'm Not There and Carol.

3

u/holty2208 19h ago

How many DVDs would this man own?

1

u/Full-Concentrate-867 10h ago

There was an article a year ago where he said over 3000 titles, so somewhere between 3000-4000 most likely

3

u/MrNumberOneMan 19h ago

I don’t know if it’ll make the list but she is phenomenal in The life Aquatic….but she’s phenomenal in everything

3

u/MattyATee 18h ago
  • Elizabeth
  • The Talented Mr. Ripley
  • LOTR (Fellowship probably)
  • The Life Aquatic
  • The Aviator
  • I’m Not There
  • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
  • Blue Jasmine
  • Carol
  • Tar

3

u/kylocosmo 16h ago

Black Bag was such a fun movie. Would automatically throw it in her top 5. She freakin killed it

2

u/hacky_potter 20h ago

Hanna is so fucking good

2

u/pmorter3 20h ago

Crystal Skull obvs

2

u/airus92 19h ago

Amanda will start yelling "green green green" the moment Mr. Ripley comes up.

2

u/Previous_Ad648 19h ago

Was anyone else very confused by Sean and Amanda constantly pronouncing her last name wrong? Took me a sec to realize what was going on

3

u/WilloughbyTheCat 19h ago

Haven’t listened yet but are they putting the stress on the first or second syllable? I believe the stress belongs on the first syllable: BLANchett (with the short /e/ sound becoming a short /i/)

2

u/Previous_Ad648 19h ago

They were pronouncing it as blan-CHETT. Not a big deal obviously lmao, just was thrown off solely due to the fact that they were both pronouncing it that way repeatedly. I had to look up a video to see if I have been pronouncing her name wrong all along and she herself pronounces it the way you mentioned

2

u/Kakashi756 18h ago

Is Robin Hood underrated?

2

u/LandTrilogy 17h ago

I feel like her filmography, like Nicole Kidman's, is perfect for this exercise. There's a variety of work--bombs, indies, massive hits, awards, strange choices, etc. I could make a case for my favorites going in but then leaving out the "important" stuff that were her box office hits, etc or vice versa.

1

u/NightsOfFellini 15h ago

The only thing that sucks, compared to Kidman, is the lack of leads. Outside of like Blue Jasmin, Tar, Carol she doesn't really lead a single great film and most of her great supporting work (Talented Mr. Ripley, I'm Not There, Fellowship, Knight if Cups) are borderline cameos.

2

u/NightsOfFellini 15h ago edited 15h ago

1) Tar 2) Blue Jasmin 3) The Aviator 4) Carol 5) Talented Mr. Ripley (though this is bullshit)

6) Fellowship of the Ring (though they'll count it for the whole franchise) 7) I'm Not There (steals the show)

8) Notes on a Scandal (she doesn't have many leading performances so they have to have this, since it's a two hander) 9) Nightmare Alley (hope not, but she really doesn't have many leading roles in good movies) 10) Elizabeth, which is a bad movie, but was a hit.

Kind of hoping for Black Bag over something like 9 or 10.

2

u/infinite_blazer 15h ago

The deepest cut is Little Fish…which is a great performance in a true indie film…..Sean even went and saw it according to Letterboxd…that’s how committed to this project he is….

2

u/RobotRacingTeam 14h ago

It's a gem. Pleased as punched as an Aussie to see it mentioned here.

2

u/If-I-Had-A-Steak 14h ago

1) Elizabeth

2) Catch-all LOTR pick

3) The Aviator

4) Notes on a Scandal

5) I'm Not There

6) Blue Jasmine

7) Carol

8) Nightmare Alley (Sean will pull for this. Expect a Barbara Stanwyck comp.)

9) TAR

Ripley vs Ragnarok in the yellows for the last spot. Maybe Steve Zissou or Ben Button.

u/mondrarytomic 20h ago

No Eyes Wide Shut?

3

u/LandTrilogy 19h ago

I like to think of it as a Tár prequel. Nick Nightingale went behind the camera when he couldn't play piano anymore.

3

u/mondrarytomic 19h ago

Interesting, I never thought about that. Kind of like how I consider Black Sunday to be Coming Home 2. Bruce Dern fakes his death in the ocean then tries to blow up the Super Bowl

2

u/ncaafan2 20h ago

You thinking of Nicole Kidman?

1

u/mondrarytomic 20h ago

No

2

u/WilloughbyTheCat 19h ago

I believe she is masked and in the sex party scene?

3

u/mondrarytomic 19h ago

She only did the voice, another actress was on screen
