I'm not sure those all qualify: Phantom of the Paradise Dirty Harry McCabe & Mrs. Miller Chinatown (too big?) edit: Steve reminded me of Altman, switched Shaft to McCabe & Mrs. Miller, one of my fave from that period
Ouch, good one with L'Atalante, I watched it recently and still missed it. I remember the shot now, but it's so not related to the plot, a real tricky shot :D
Looks ok, might be refreshing to see Tom Hanks come back to his roots. I used to like his comedies in the 80s. I also noticed that now Ethan Coen is also listed as director, I think it's the frist time they are both listed ..
Before I come, can I ask if you have a daughter ? Or how old is you wife :D Seriously, I'd probably pick Lifeboat too, since it's a Hitch I haven't seen.
I'm not sure about part II, but you got it right concerning Halloween. The 25th anniversary edition is sharper but it loses the blue tint at night and some yellow/orange tints during the day scenes, so the grass looks more green. There is no definitive answer, some people prefer the Anchor Bay...
Thanks for all your work Jim, real funny categories names! :emoji_thumbsup: And it's good to learn that I am a silent and romantic movies lover, I thought I loved thrillers, horror, westerns and film noir :D Just don't tell my girlfriend about the romantic movies OK, it has some advantages to...

I missed the chat, but glad someone asked about The Innocents. Hard to believe he wasn't familiar with it, but I'll add my voice in case someone from Fox notices all the mentions of this movie in this thread.
Thanks for the compilation George, the results are interesting. Nice lists everyone. Here's the one I sent, it's still being worked on, as looking as the other lists I realized some movies I loved and forgot to include, like Tokyo Story and the Apu trilogy. 1. Passion of Joan of Arc 2...
My girlfriend hold on, why am I doing this, she doesn't even read these boards :D Jennifer Connely when she was younger, she's too thin now. Ingrid Bergman Grace Kelly
Sorry I missed those over the week end, it wasn't lack of interest. I can't speak for the others, since I didn't know all the other lists, but the lists I was involved with seemed pretty acurate. One thing I'd like to see is a combined list of all the lists sent to you, Sight and Sound...
Shouldn't we remove the Top 20 lists from our sig for this? Anyway, I agree this is hard ... I'm thinking it might be me and someone else but I'm not even sure since some in this top 10 are quite far on my list :D
