Great list. I wouldn't have checked it out were I not paying extra attention to your post in the "what are you listening..." thread and trying to figure out why we're not supposed to call it Plastic Ono Band (and what we're supposed to call it). I saw the link hidden in your post and gave it a clickin'.
I seem to be the only person who likes Boiling Point (or whatever the Japanese name is) the most out of Takeshi Kitano's (or is it Kitano Takeshi's) films. Anyway, thanks for inadvertently recommending Ride the High Country, Cross of Iron, The Parallax View, Dead Man's Shoes, and Raining Stones (which I've put off too long but have bumped it up the list) to me.
