Not overly impressed with this list. Almost two thirds of the films come from either the 40s, 50s or 60s which sort of gives away the demographic. Nothing from the last 10 years. Some great stills in the article though!

At least there are several Kurosawa movies there. Persona as Bergman's greatest achievement and only representation? Give me a break.

Keep seeing Tokyo Story on these lists and I've never seen it. Worth checking out?

That depends on what you like.

It's B&W and slow. The camera sits there watching. Nothing really happens except people talking to each other.
It's a rainy Saturday afternoon movie.

Also, heads up, it's subtitled.

For a list, that's a pretty good list.

Nothing from Pixar?

Mockery.

If someone says their favourite movie is Amelie I don't think I could ever respect them. I'd sooner hang out with the girl that said 'Glitter'.

I usually answer Cool Hand Luke to this question. I've just seen it so many goddamn times.

Ha! Push comes to shove, Amelie is my favourite movie of all time! I don't think its the best - just my favourite.
Respectfully.
