Yay, La Haine so high. :). Would it make top 100 for you?
Check out my updated top 50, dude. :) It's ranked at... Drum roll... 48! :)
I almost moved Chungking Express into the top 50 but I think it just barely missed out.
Haha, #45 you mean! Nice. :). Chungking just makes top 80 for me I think. I see you made other updates, looks very nice, besides Waterfront moving out of top 10. :(. I gotta rewatch Lives of Others sooner rather than later.
I changed it twice actually. :P Haha.
I'm really into very visual and cinematic movies at the moment. So some of the more literary ones like To Kill A Mockingbird have moved down and been overtaken by The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, La Haine, etc.
Yeah, I'm not sure On The Waterfront is quite top 10 material.
Especially when you compare it against Taxi Driver and A Clockwork Orange who really deserve that place. :)
I dunno, ACO has been growing off me lately (my favourite Kubrick is FMJ and he is my #3 behind Leigh and W. Anderson). Taxi Driver definitely deserves top drawer though. I think On The Waterfront is way more important, emotionally, socially and to cinema.
