Cloned From: 
What I've Seen Of... kenji's 1,000 (+) Essential Films
kenji03/31/2005

I've just added a few! Before Sunset (Linklater, 2004), Spies (Lang, 1928) which i love, + Uzak (Ceylan, 2003), Spies (Lang, 1928), 2046 (Wong Kar-Wai, 2004), The Highway (Sun Yu, 1933). I've deleted Look at Me (Jaoui, 2004), which was a borderline one i'd not seen- this is a mainly objective list + i've not seen them all- but it disappointed me, so out it goes! Unless enough people want it back. Er, i hope this doesn't cause trouble for your list, but mine will have additions, substitutions from time to time.

Poor Mizoguchi; so many here haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing his films- for which you're to be envied.

You've added more movies I haven't seen! I will add these to the list later today -- you've got Lang's Spies down here twice.

Making these lists has shown me just how much I am lacking in world cinema. That's an area I need to work on.

kenji04/01/2005

Ah well i'm glad the changes didn't make you change all your numbers; now to be really devilish i could add plenty of widely seen films mwha ha ha! Yeah i moved Spies up in the sentence to be among the 2 i love, then forgot to remove it where it was originally, and couldn't find an edit button.

stennie04/01/2005

Coming up this weekend (either on Tivo or from Netflix) I've got: Man with a Movie Camera, Applause, The Wind, The Music Box, and Way Out West. I keep missing The Passion of Joan of Arc on TCM. I wish you would add more that I've seen, I feel woefully inadequate. I'm not even at the halfway mark.
