Fix this.

That would be the purpose of the marathon. :)

But it should be fixed even without a marathon.

I apologise for my outburst against American Beauty and promise not to primal scream again during the course of this parade of the pantheon.
However if you look at page 2 of the results as it stands; AB looks kind of like a pimple on the face of a beautiful woman (currently I have SD's picture of Gene Tierney on my mind) because it goes Reservoir Dogs-Ikiru-burp-Touch of Evil-M-Red Shoes or Tarantino-Kurosawa-huh?-Welles-Lang- Archers.

AB wasn't bad as such it just looks like someone stuck a five year olds finger painting in the DaVinci gallery of the Louvre, in that company.

I don't think anyone's said it recently but Wilson, that is a superb job of presentation you are doing, much love.

Wow, Miami Vice was that close? Madness, I say, madness. Also, sad seeing The Seventh Seal go, but it finally slipped off my list this year so you can blame me.

Love seeing that Paris, Texas is on there, but not liking the huge dropoff. Could my beloved Days of Heaven be in trouble?  :o

Also, glad to see Aguirre up on there as well as M.

American Beauty? (No comment. ;D )

O yea, and Miller's Crossing, that's a good film. Hope there's plenty more Coen to come, though. Also, I like that I get quoted on films I end up changing my mind one down the road.  ;D

Also, I shamefully haven't see The Red Shoes yet. I rented it twice (TWICE!) from the library but I failed to watch it both times. That's two weeks I had the film but didn't watch it.  :P

American Beauty belongs on this list, that is all.

Hell yeah it does! Thrilled to see it on but quite surprised. Shot up around 80 places from last year.

Grateful Almost Famous held on but wish it was higher.

Night of the Hunter is the worst movie so far by a long long way.

Already have six I haven't seen.

Night Of The Hunter is amazing, I could of course do without Reservoir Dogs and Memento being on the list, but everyone knows that.

American Beauty is definitely one of the Top 100 Oscar-winners for Best Picture of all time.

Stealing Tiny's wonderful template

Woo! Looking great, Wilson!

Made it so far from my list:

Breathless
Hoop Dreams
Reservoir Dogs
Miller's Crossing
Memento


Also seen (And loved):

Almost Famous
Back to the Future


Am dying to see:

Paris, Texas
Ikiru
The Philadelphia Story
F*cking Amal
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
The Night of the Hunter
Touch of Evil
M
The Red Shoes
Duck Soup
Fitzcarraldo


Am very apprehensive about:
American Beauty

Saw when I was little and haven't seen since, and do not remember it very well:
The Wizard of Oz
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Thanks.  It's a little plain for my liking, and I'm going to redesign the layout and, in a week or so, change the entire list to the new style.  I'd planned on doing the whole new list in the new style, but time's been tight the last few weeks.
