I don't know, I whimsically made an alternative list the other day that included nothing from my original list or the Top 100 here and it was trivially easy to come up with 25 different films that...

I've got a copy as well, but I've learned not to take these things for granted. But I feel a bit better that I may not exist not alone.

Ha! No, although that would have been amazing. No this was I want to say 5 or 6 years ago, when she was doing a cooking show with her husband. The thing about living in NYC is if you're around long...

Goodfellas is an excellent film but I have no personal love in my heart for gangster films in general, so this, like The Godfather Part II before and The Godfather tomorrow, did not make my list....

Quentin Tarantino is one of those directors who is, as they say, Not For Me. I like some of his movies fine, and Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite of the lot, but to be honest while I enjoy them...

It didn't make my list, but Blade Runner is great and could have made my list on another day or in another mood. Jaws was also not on my list; I can't say it means as much to me as it does to others...

For my money, Steven Spielberg is the greatest action director of all time, and it's the reason that Raiders of the Lost Ark was #4 on my list. His action scenes are kinetic but you always understand...

Yes, pretty much. I gather Coppola had some trouble with the ending (and Brando had trouble with his lines) and I think it shows. It doesn't quite drag everything down, and there are still some...

I like a Apocalypse Now a lot, even though I feel like the third act is a bit clumsier than the rest of the film. Contrary to just about everyone, I'm not a fan of Brando's performance here. Sheen,...

Yes and yes, in that order. You also can't go wrong with Othello (extremely unfortunate blackface aside), The Trial, and Chimes at Midnight.

Still waiting for my Kubrick pick to turn up, but Dr. Strangelove would probably be my second choice of his work. An absolutely lacerating comedy and a perfect showcase for Peter Sellers.

12 Angry Men is a fine film that didn't make my list. No Lumet for me. As for The Shining, well, I have a great deal of respect for Kubrick's cerebral approach to horror, but with my one director/one...

There's no Kurosawa on my list, which I admit seems kind of ridiculous, because there's at least three of his that could have easily made it (this one, Ikiru, Rashomon). Maybe if I made my list on a...
