Also, why do people like Holden and Mark F get about 10+ reps and I get nothing and I was the more calm and rational person in this entire conversation?
It's probably not very surprising when I tell you that it's also on mine. I think it might reacht the top 30. It doesn't have many haters around here and a large enough group of people seems to like it quite a bit.
And I watched Coffy the other day! I knew it was coming! Psychic Isaac is no match for me!
The best scene:

Long ago on these types of lists, not just here and other fan or user generated ones but things like the AFI lists and such, I learned to let go fretting about the order and just to enjoy the mix of things that make the cut. I love the diversity of our list, and don't really care all that much that this one is higher or lower than another.
But that's just me. Also, I have the benefit of seeing the whole list, already.
Bergman's Autumn Sonata was on seven ballots and had two top ten votes (a fourth and a fifth place), while Fassbinder's Ali was on six lists total, but had three top ten votes: two third placers and one fourth.
Two great films! I couldn't find the places to fit either into my own list at the time. If I were to write the list now I wouldn't be surprised if one or indeed both were included.
