"If someone bet me a million dollars that I couldn't write an utterly convincing argument (in book form) that a chosen few films are the best films of all time, and if I was given plenty of time to watch, rewatch, read about, and study those films, I would choose these titles for my argument."

All credit for list goes to lukeprog... i just love the idea.

not based on appeal or how much i enjoy them... just pure filmmaking greatness.

Guess you're a big fan of westerns. Would you give me a Monsiuer Verdoux chapter summary? That one dumfounds me.
