No Bergman? Wow.

And I can't say it's much better than the top 250 or the AFI Top 100 (which sort of is an illegitimate comparison).
-----------

I suppose I sort of like your list. Obviously, we differ in taste, and I happen to find the personality of it sort of lacking, IMHO. However, another "Pandora's Box" lover? Fucking awesome.

You can see my top 20 on my blog.

Ben said...

Yeah, unfortunately any personality in my list is lost due to the fact that a lot of my favorites weren't included on the ballot of films to choose from. So this isn't my actual top 100, this is my top 100 from the list I was given. That list not being much better than the final top 100 that resulted from it.

Ben said...

Awesome, I just checked out your top 20 and was happy to see both Miami Vice and Hiroshima Mon Amour on it. Those would both be in my top 15 for sure and I pushed to get them on the ballot but unfortunately no one else agreed. A film was put on the ballot if it was nominated by at least three participants so I was pretty shocked not see either of those on the list.

Where are the comments?

"So this isn't my actual top 100, this is my top 100 from the list I was given. "

Oh, oh. I completely neglected this.

"Awesome, I just checked out your top 20 and was happy to see both Miami Vice and Hiroshima Mon Amour on it."

Yeah, I'm a huge Resnais fan. Like gigantic. So obviously, I gushed when I saw that you mentioned Hiroshima Mon Amour as an island movie.
