The only problem with this list is that it's too short.
All too true.
There are several films on your list that I want to see as well. I've noticed that there are several titles available in the Criterion Collection on dvd. Nice list.
Thanks! Actually, I made up the list in large part just based on Criterion dvds that I have yet to see.
"The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" is one of the best films ever made. See that one post haste.
Okay, I'm utterly amazed that scanning through I caught this, but did you mean to have Grosse Point Blank in there twice?
No, I didn't. Thanks for catching the gaffe!
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is pretty damn funny, bit cringey at times, but overall, very worth while watch. Cohen is fantastic in it.
That's good to hear. I'm hoping to see it over Thanksgiving Break.
