sdedalus, I am in awe of your list. Of course I don't agree with the order of a few of those, but all is well when I see the Powell & Pressburger love  ;)

Nice list, Woodpecker, especially happy to see these:

38   Wild Reeds
47   In America
55   4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile
61   In the Bedroom


Oh my, thank you, oad! Yes, please, please, please watch all of these. I honestly think you would (will?!?) like or love them all. (Also: Good Morning!  ;))
I will for sure watch them - and you can hold me to that! (Also: :D )

Fantastic! You can be sure that I will do it, too!

Anyone else think this is like the coolest thing we do all year?  I love reading everyone's lists even though I don't always get a chance to reply.  I love all the great encouragement we give each other too.  Very cool....

Yes, definitely.

Amazing list, sdedalus.  :o  Curious about how your top 100 compares to, say, the bottom 100 of the 600; the top 100 films are all films you love, I assume. Are the lower films ones you only really like? Or are all of them films you love?


A bunch I love seeing in your top 100, but I do particularly love that these are there - not in too many top 100's, I think:
46. M. Hulot's Holiday
67. The Wind That Shakes the Barley
