I get that its all just a matter of opinion, but its the glaring ommissions that make this a poor list in my eyes. <br /><br />Just a few for example:<br /><br />The Godfather, Part III<br />Barton Fink<br />JFK<br />Glengarry Glen Ross<br />Reservoir Dogs<br />Jurassic Park<br />Short Cuts<br />True Romance<br />Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197683436399165522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-40064877626457411422010-04-18T14:19:43.078-04:002010-04-18T14:19:43.078-04:00Robbie- I think it all depends on what people cons...Robbie- I think it all depends on what people consider the "best".

But, I didn't really like the list that much. Only around 20 or 25 of the films are on my list of top 100 from the last 20 years. I felt that they tried to put a lot of different kinds of films on the list to make it more well-rounded than listing the 100 best films.<br /><br />-RobbieRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197683436399165522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-90838993843101060912010-04-17T20:59:35.826-04:002010-04-17T20:59:35.826-04:00There are plenty of omissions, but no choices that...There are plenty of omissions, but no choices that really leave you scratching your head, in my opinion...Joey Magidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465870030357008701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-8391847813852906102010-04-17T20:58:35.924-04:002010-04-17T20:58:35.924-04:00Good call Robert on Eyes Wide Shut, JFK, and Lost ...Good call Robert on Eyes Wide Shut, JFK, and Lost in Translation.Joey Magidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465870030357008701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-42769774984625223142010-04-17T20:58:05.679-04:002010-04-17T20:58:05.679-04:00Indeed Andrew.Indeed Andrew.Joey Magidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10465870030357008701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407454496468251136.post-43853614944650153322010-04-17T18:57:44.036-04:002010-04-17T18:57:44.036-04:00Don't be embarassed.
