Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring

How many times have you watched this? I've only watched it the one time myself, but it was enough for me to put it on the list. Always wonder how it would do on a follow-up viewing.

Twice, I think?  I'll watch it again to make sure.

I love so many of your new inclusions, CD.

Lawrence of Arabia
Rear Window
Short Term 12 !!!
12 Years a Slave
United 93

Frankly, I think we share a lot in our lists.   On a brief comparison, 26.  If we compared our "almost made it" lists, it would be way more.

This is actually at the library for me to pick up tomorrow. Will be my first re-watch. It's been in my top-100 since I saw it.

88.   Hiroshima mon amour   (1959)
95.   Rashômon   (1950)
99.   Peeping Tom   (1960)
100.   Mulholland Dr.   (2001)
The last four are just making room for the new entries. 100 is such an arbitrary cutoff.

Beautifully compiled list, PeacefulAnarchy. I've been enjoying going through the screenshots you chose. Having Amélie as number two is wonderful and sweet, you ole' softie. :)

@ Dave. We share nine movies and there'd be more if I were more cool. :) I want to see Ring of Bright Water! What is this wondrous film? When did you first see it?

Great list JeffreySchroeck. I had to look some of them up. You remind me to watch Groundhog Day again to see if it has a spot in a future top 100 of mine.

 

love
