What a wierd list. All those foreign/old films, and then Tarantino?
Most of the other directors' and critics' lists from Sight & Sound are snobby "wah-wah, great-films-died-with-the-seventies" crap. At least something from the nineties was recognized, even if it wasn't Magnolia.
I agree, the 90's may have had movies like Police Academy 5: Mission to Moscow, but it did produce a few greats like Resevoir Dogs (while on the topic of Tarantino). Everything dies off after a while, because it's all been done before. However, newer generations haven't seen it all, and sometimes need reinterpretations.
Sadly, Shakespeare gets butchered in this way.
Shakespeare wrote Police Academy 5? wow, you really do learn something new everyday. :shock:

Surprised he didn't put STOLEN KISSES on his list. Or was it not on the big list?
