I make a point of watching Schindler's List and The Deer Hunter at least every ten years. They put my mind back in perspective.

I guess I thought the sarcasm would be obvious. :cool:

I've found that silent films have been something of a rarity in the last 80 years. Regarding foreign language ones, which I assume is what you meant, some of the lists have quite a few, others don't. Not everyone watches them, or that many of them.

Thinking about the whole perspective thing, one year comes to mind where I'm not sure I could make a choice. That's 2016. My obvious favorite is Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival, which I think is not only a mind expanding idea and story, but also extremely moving and essentially perfect filmmaking...

Perspective or priorities are always a factor. What's "Best" or "Favorite" and what those words mean. If I was to make a "Fun" list, a lot of yours would be on my list. But then the snob factor plays in, usually in these lists, and those movies don't make it based on that priority.

BTW Thomas. Great list and thanks for putting it together.

My feeling exactly. I was jumping out of my seat with the opening sequence, just revved for what was to come... then it never did. I have the 4K stream and frequently play the first 5 minutes of the movie, then shut it off.

Thomas, I'm curious which year you considered Far From Heaven being from, and how close did it come to winning that year?

Plus, Haggis is (was) such a polarizing person as well. I have to admit I am probably swayed by that factor, at least a little bit. It just crosses over from structured storytelling to gross manipulation in my book.

I'm guessing 2016 is a typo. Correction... You two both have the same avatar, and I didn't realize those two consecutive posts were by different people.
