Still love the fact that you have Rocky Horror on your list.

I'll agree that the poster is awful. Not sure what they were thinking.

Not to have a go at anyone, although I understand that Citizen Kane is a cinematic masterpiece of its time, I have watched it, and even reviewed it a few months back. It had some great scenes, some fantastic scenes even, but the beginning was really dull, and it had a few other just okay bits here and there. So overall I just could not recommend it for #1, or even top 50 (still mentally debating 50-100 - so you know, I still think quite highly of it, just not THAT high). *cough* overrated *cough*  ;D

Otherwise those last couple of lists look great!

Good to see stuff like Stalker and the Blues Brothers make the lists - I think they have been overlooked a bit.


Beauty and the Beast was a surprise, I personally thought the Broadway version of that was a lot better than the film. Plus a couple of the sequels that got mentioned surprised me - I just thought the originals were better (The Godfather and Kill Bill being exceptions).


I know my own last list elicited some controversy which will probably resume when I (hopefully time permitting) put up an updated list within the next week. But just as a tease - I think this still stands as my #1 - make sure you all add it to your lists people!!!!!!

trimmed down to 120 films...ill rearrange those frustratingly for 2 weeks or so, watching FYC stuff all the while, then Ill submit.

Women in the Dunes, Come and See, Stalker, and more planned for the short future.

Come and See looks brutal just from the DVD cover. Want to see it having just seen Downfall. I'm on that kick of modern films taking on WW2.

Come and See is most definitely brutal.  But in a good way.
