Wow, this is quite a list! Is it in order by favorites? If so, I'm surprised to see The Age of Innocence as your highest ranked-Scorsese. I'll have to check it out. It's nice to see Groundhog Day make the grade too, especially given all the classic and international heavy hitters here. What a wonderful comedy.
I noticed you saved this as "news", which means it doesn't show up in your collection of lists. Would you like me to make it a list for you?
kenji, this is a phenomenal list!! I am extremely impressed!
Rarely have I seen such a comprehensive and deserving films on a list such as this. Though I've heard or seen most of the films on here, I can definitely use it as a guide for those I found that I haven't.
Thank you for your entry!
Yeah, this is a great list. I definitely have to change it from a news item (which it is currently) to a list (which is I suspect what the author intended). Kenji, forgive my presumption. Let me know I was wrong, and I'll put it back the way it was immediately.
A very belated reply. Thanks for that. I somehow lost touch with the site when i first posted this list in 93, was happy to have just rediscovered it.
Very glad to have you back! I remember being disappointed at the time that the site didn't seem to "take".
Thank you so much. I only wish i'd replied 2 years ago!
Wow, nice list. I'm sad to have just discovered it. There are even a few here that hadn't yet made my 'to-see' list.
Netflix be damned for refusing to carry Sunrise.
Great list.
Just a bit long for 100 ;-)
