The greatest director, taking the greatest playwright and wordsmith, and adding one of the greatest actors. It just worked.
I think what really made it work was having the actors to do it in a style reminiscent of the Noh play.
Macbeth is the perfect Shakespeare play for the Noh style.

Haha no. Meant as a statement of how much I love that film. I just don't see the possibility of anything being as perfect.
I mean you did call for snobs?

I figured, I just read it in this weird "come at me bro" kinda way.
You are correct about Throne of Blood being brilliant though. I will now think about it constantly until I watch it again.

Suspiria
Zombi
The Ring
A Tale of Two Sisters
The Grudge
Audition
Hammer horror films
Vampyre
Dead Snow
Cronos
The Orphanage
Suspiria
Zombi
The Ring
A Tale of Two Sisters
The Grudge
Audition

Vampyre
Dead Snow
Cronos
The Orphanage

Has to be one of the Zhang Yimou films. He is an alltime great no doubt.
Ill go with Raise the Red Lantern
eta: La Dolce Vita honorable mention. fwiw, I am very ignorant about Kurosawa. Need to see Throne of Blood and others.

So many great horror films. I'm a huge Fulci and Argento fan as well as some Bava.
Suspiria is at the top of the list in that category for me.

Good call on this as well.
I'd add Metropolis and Nosferatu if they don't count as "silent."

1.Brotherhood of the Wolf (Should be on every list)
2.Oldboy
3.Pan's Labyrinth

If we're talking silent Battleship Potemkin is pretty great too.
