Re: Top 20 films


My list, in order:

1 Chinatown
2 8 1/2
3 Rear Window
4 Vertigo
5 Mulholland Dr.
6 2001: A Space Odyssey
7 Blade Runner
8 Casablanca
9 The Godfather
10 Dr. Strangelove
11 North By Northwest
12 Raiders of the Lost Ark
13 Jaws
14 The Shawshank Redemption
15 Safety Last!
16 Playtime
17 Wild Strawberries
18 The Wizard of Oz
19 Lost in Translation
20 L'appartement


Some films regrettably left off: more Hitchcock (notably Shadow of a Doubt), Wilder (notably Ace in the Hole and Sunset Blvd.) and noirs (notably The Asphalt Jungle and Kiss Me Deadly) Chaplin (notably City Lights and Modern Times) and Lean (notably Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai), Malick (The Thin Red Line), Lynch (Blue Velvet).
