For wpqx- You are of course right about Citizen Kane - but I think I have seen it so many times and studied it that I just thought - put it above the list. 

But thanks for admitting to T2 - I was a little embarrassed to put that on the list but wanted to be honest. (Along with several others...)

I noticed I made the mistake of Paris, Texas. Not US. Sorry. 

Thanks to what you call your "elitist nonsense" I have a huge list of great films to rent on Netflix - many thanks for opening my eyes to new films. I have 5 new films coming tomorrow. A and your lists have really inspired me.

I just finished- not on this list - but the Foreign list - The Mirror, Apu Tri., and Diary of a Young Priest. I am speechless.

I agree about Ap. Now Redux - but I must say my husband is so moved by the French Colony scene that I wonder what others think. (I know critics hated it for the most part.) I just like the small turns that the film took and could cut the French Colony completely- thought it ruined the film - but because of the small changes I chose the Redux over the original. 

We do need the hybrid.
