I watched the extended version of Tree of Life in dribs and drabs over the past several days. Not my preferred way to watch a movie, but I'll give this cut an 86. Some nice bits added, but on the whole it felt a little too on-the-nose and linear, less oblique than the film I fell in love with. To be honest, it made me question whether I even wanted the original still in my top 100. At the time I saw it as Malick becoming fully realized, but now I'm wondering if Tree of Life (rather than TTW) is the point where Malick starts becoming a parody of himself. Maybe 3+ hours of whispering to God is just too much. I should probably rewatch the original cut, but with the Bergman box coming there's no way I'll make time for it.
I've thought of a few films I'd consider taking off my top 100. Problem is, I'm not sure what I'd replace them with....
