I'm guessing Tokyo Story, Seven Samurai, 8 1/2 or La Dolce Vita will be at the top spot.
Great effort, Daniel!

It's not even my list Mr Minio, I've got put together loads of other lists to try and get as close to a 'definitive' list as I can, but this is my first effort so think of it as beta/v1, won't be perfect, but all the films on here I am interested in watching, at least the ones I haven't seen.
Whilst controversial, Salo is normally recognised as an important piece of cinema anyway, and it appears on most foreign film recommendation lists, for better or worse.
Any of you guys gonna take a guess at what you reckon will be number 1? All I will say is you'll begin recognising more films soon anyway

I've only seen 77, but I don't check the Apu Trilogy in my lists because that was forever ago. Several more in my queue though.

It would be good to make a top 100 with only one movie per director, representing the director's work. Instead of some director showing up with 5-6 movies (Ingmar Bergman and Robert Bresson).
