Might I get people to consider:


An incredibly underrated film.

I will be considering it.

It's definitely on my list.  In fact I'm considering this for my next avatar

if you'd like to remain friends - you'll find room for two or more of the following on your ballot:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Synecdoche, New York

In America

Ferris Beuller's Day Off

;D

I agree. Approximately zero chance I ever change my avatar.

La Haine
Kassovitz, Mathieu   1995   France

The previous Top 100s are lacking in films with multiple non-Caucasian protagonists or films that take place in such characters' milieus.  (And most of the ones that did make the lists take place in Japan or Hong Kong.)  Now I see that Do the Right Thing received 13 votes last year and placed in the Top 100 and La Haine got 4.  I urge those that those that have seen the Spike Lee film to watch Kassovit's.  La Haine follows three French males during a 24-hour period in the wake of riots in response to police brutality.  It's fierce stuff.  And I'm not pushing for this film just to get variety into the list.  I genuinely think it's a great film.

It has been on my radar for quite a while now, thanks for the reminder.

My top 100 would not be complete without La Haine.  Its an amazing rush of a movie.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

I doubt I'll get to it before the deadline, but I am definitely interested.
