@ Mad....

I'm not so sure about your comments on Quentin. He makes pretty bad films and "homages" pretty bad films so i'm sure they really are his 10 favourites.

@ A...

Everybody's list is individual! Do you like everybody's list for the same reason?

@ WP.

None of Haneke's choices would be on my list as I'd punt for different films by Rossellini, Tarkovsky, Bresson, Pasolini, Cassavetes & Bunuel. Nothing by Hitchcock or Chaplin would be close.

I'm always going on about the Bresson influence in Haneke and it's nice to see i've been very right all along.

@ everybody.

Let's remember that film-makers are walkers and not talkers so there lists wouldn't be anywhere near as comprehensive the critics'

I like Clara Law's and Ann Hui's though.
