Crappy list. Too provincial, too nerdy. The first foreign film comes in at number 19? Pissant Hollywood bootlickers. Too few challenging movies, no surprises, no "this guy might know more than I do" moment. Ya wanna list? Try Sight And Sound's list:
Richard--I can in no way defend this list, and what hurts me more is that I contributed my two cents to a fanboy's wet dream. For that I deeply apologize.
Ivan, it's only fair then that you get to blast away at my cinematic taste. Here, rather off the top of my head and not really in precise order, is my top 100, and Bill, forgive me for chewing up your bandwidth.

That's an interesting list, for sure. I haven't seen nearly as many of those.
Richard--I can in no way defend this list, and what hurts me more is that I contributed my two cents to a fanboy's wet dream. For that I deeply apologize.
