Comments: awful truth

No Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid :(
LOTR wasn't nowhere near *that* good, anyway.

"Mon oncle d'Amérique" mais no "Mon Oncle"...

And "Purple Rose of Cairo" but no "Zelig"...

still at least "Meet me in Casablanca, Doctor" is there

As these lists go I thought it was actually pretty good. I am bored to death by these things usually and I don't even find them fun to argue with any more (and they're not normally good for much else), but the Time list was OK.

Oh well, good blog filler ;)
but I tought that the list was Ok - and the links are good, albeit frustrating when you hit the subscription wall at the Archive.

Probably the best one of these lists I've seen for some time. I don't know if I agree with Barry Lyndon being there. I would have replaced it with A Clockwork Orange.

"Way to many old movies on the list."

have only seen 24 of those. agree with Sergio Leone and with Robert Towne's Chinatown. no Battleship Potemkin? No Tender Mercies? my definition of 'good film' has to have 'audience involvement' through 'excellence of screenplay', as well as 'visual sweep'.
