Subject: RE: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
American Film Institute. May be that only American films were considered, but then there's a David Lean and Stanley Kubrick movie there. Strange. Open it up to international movies and there are a bunch of Kurosawa, Bergman, Fellini films, etc. Limit it to American movies and there are lots that are great, maybe as good as some on the list. Someone mentioned Cher, and 'Moonstruck' is an excellent movie. So many...a movie called 'Fresh', one called 'Ghost Dog,' one called 'Smoke.' Not big-dollar movies but definitely first-rate, in my humble opinion. The Coen brothers make outstanding movies. I'd have to pick 8 1/2, The Seventh Seal & Seven Samurai as the best of the best. Damn...High Noon, Once upon a time in the West, Oxbow Incident...lots and lots of good westerns. I need to dust off my VCR tapes.
