Ummm... I have nothing constructive to say, but I love your list a lot.

The only one in your top ten I'm not crazy about is the Wild Bunch (I know, I know) and overall, Sunset Blvd aside, Billy Wilder struck me as being wildly overrated. Also, what about Bresson? His omission was somewhat surprising... as well as the lack of Mizoguchi. Minor points, of course. Great selections.
