I guess I'll really have to see Vertigo again. It's been a while, but I don't remember it being that special.
And Persona is way too frustrating - I'm surprised it ranked so high. Happy to see Mulholland Drive way up there, though.
The 3 films you mention would make an excellent triple bill/ trio for comparison- with Mulholland Dr in the middle (similirities with the other 2)
It's funny to see this list and my comment now that I've been won over by Persona. What's your source for this list? How did the voting work?
