There were a few surprises in critics Richard Corliss' and Richard Schickel's list of the 100 Best Movies Of All-Time. Some people mentined the exclusion of Gone With The Wind, but I saw it a couple of years ago and agree with it's exclusion. Kurosawa has Ikiru and Yojimbo-I agree with Ikiru, but I think it should also include The Seven Samurai and Rashomon instead of Yojimbo. I was happy to seee my favorite Coen brothers film, Miller's Crossing, make the list. I was also pleased to see a Kong Kar-Wai film make the list, Chunking Express, however, I think In The Mood For Love is probably more deserving. I would have included Hannah And Her Sisters rather than the Purple Rose Of Cairo if I were to include a Woody Allen film. Other favorites include: Goodfellas, Bladerunner, City Of God, and Brazil. But come on, The Fly(1986) and Finding Nemo?

Finding Nemo is a classic - joking. There were not many movies from the last ten years included, any idea why?
On another note, the first season of Lost just ended last night. I doubt many of your friends watch it but it is a great show. If you can pick it up next time you are on the black market, you should.

Actually, I was surprised by how many films they picked from recent times. Critics love films that introduced techiniques or sort of defined genres. They called "Talk To Her" , the movie of 00s, -I guess I'll have to see that, I've heard Bqad Education is also quite good.
Actually, some of my friends were watching LOST when I was back in December, I'd check it out for sure...

I watched Brazil on the tele when I was about 16 without knowing what to expect - a very cool film.
