I do not feel a part of the sophisticated world of flieger, roujin, w@w, sdedalus et al. :(

I liked only 5 of the 17 I've seen on flieger's list.

Nice rounded lists from Senor Javi and GothamCity. :)

Woo! Such a great list, flieger and those screenshots are amazing! There's so much I love on that list and most of what I don't love already, I need to watch sometime soon! Especially delighted to see Charulata so high and to see Blood of the Beasts, The Long Goodbye, In a Lonely Place, Blissfully Yours, Paris, Texas, A Brighter Summer Day and Pickpocket on the list.

Great-looking list, flieger - I think I have seen fewer films from your list than from any other posted so far. (I'm at 21, but hope to raise that number by 3 by the end of the month).

I still don't understand the Meet me in St Louis business you keep banging on about as if it were the greatest movie of all time, but apart from that it is a fine list, a very fine list actually, although you have forgotten to put The Cook the thief his wife and her lover, and Drowning by Numbers in your Top 10, obviously you will fix this up before the votes are counted!

Poor Joan of Arc and the Lady Eve, they have dropped a few places!

I was happy not to see Le Monde Vivant ;) Although having said that I still think you needed to throw a couple more europeans into the mix - I don't think you made it into the eastern block - and don't give me that Kieslowski is too structured argument, or the Bela Tarr is like watching death rant! You know in your heart that you love them ;)

Actually I think I was saddest to see that Totoro was no longer on your list  :'(  I might have to make it my #1 to compensate!

As far as Apichatpong Weerasethakul goes, I will be watching Tropical Malady & Syndromes and a Century before I put in my next top 100.

Like it. Quite eclectic despite the lack of foreign films.

Yeah, I like modern mainstream American shlock mostly.  ;)

Kidding aside, I did find myself often asking the question "Do I really love this film, or do I just want to put it on for prestige/obscurity reasons?" I'm not saying folks don't love their picks, just something I personally had a hard time sorting out.

It wasn't a blatant force pressing down on the process, it was something more insidious and subtle. Perhaps ingrained by film school and peers and filmspotters, I always felt the need for more foreign, more classics, more *gulp* Criterion. I like and appreciate Lean and Chaplin and Sturges and Wong Kar-wai and Bergman....but do I love them? Do I own them? Do I wish to revisit them when I am blue? Not really. Rather pop in that comedy masterpiece Jackass 2...does anyone else struggle with this?

Top 100 for 2010.

Two 1970s Arthurian films and no Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Unprecedented!

And no , I see. Unconscionable!
