I wish you had continued to talk more about why you love each film, like you started out doing, since that's my favorite part about these lists. A lot of great films, though, and a lot of movies I'd also rank on a favorites list.
It's especially cool to see the love for Aronofsky. And you've made me very curious about Dancer in the Dark and Breaking the Waves. I need to watch more Lars Von Trier. So far I've only seen Antichrist, Melancholia and Dogville, but I was impressed with all three.
Wow finished :yup: what an interesting list :yup:
As I've not been around much recently I've got a lot of lists to catch up on, both in terms of reading and adding them to the list of members' lists.
Congrats on the list Mingusings. I've got to go against the grain and say that you kind of lost me towards the end with all that Kubrick and the spaghetti western :p but you've got a fair few I like throughout the rest of the list. Favourites include Ratatouille, True Romance, Psycho, The Fly, Being John Malkovich, There Will Be Blood, Se7en, Reservoir Dogs and Black Swan.
And I've added your list to the master list.
