Is anyone actually reading these lists?

No, which is why I'll use visual aid...although I hate they're uneven images.

Unordered, and this was before I took out The's. I figured it'd be easier with them for people to just scan it over.

[life_boy]

I like reading the lists.  But then again...I like list threads.....

I had a really good list. Actually very proud of it. Just in the time I made it and now my computer went to shit and I lost it. Too bad. If MacGuffin still has the list I sent into him, great, but doubtful.

Can you at least try for a reasoned representation of what you probably submitted?  I've been waiting since the original spark of the possibility of a Deka Redux to see the GT list of greatness.  Don't disappoint.

[tpfkabi]

Is anyone actually reading these lists?

yep. i see i need to watch Network and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
not that i haven't been aware of these movies, i just haven't gotten around to watching them.
i'm really surprised by The Shining being on so many lists. i've always loved that movie, even before i was a cinephile.

Safe, Farewell My Concubine, Downfall, Husbands and Wives?

I bet for sure MacG owns Safe. Which, by the way Fernando, I'm really impressed that you've included in your faves. It's easily in my top 10 of all time, and it's my favorite film of the 1990s. It gets its share of love from the good critics, but it's criminally underseen and underappreciated by most of the film audience. I also love Husbands and Wives, which I don't think ever gets its share of the love. I always feel vindicated when Woody assesses it as his best film, because I completely agree.

Safe In the mood for love, Farewell My Concubine, Downfall, Husbands and Wives L'Avventura

The guessing game has just begun...


Edit: Godardian, I knew you would be pleased...

Safe is the cornerstone of any DVD collection that hopes to encompass the lasting cinematic achievements of the '90s... what a jewel for your DVD shelf!
