The one thing I didn't like about the most recent Sight and Sound poll was that it gives the impression that film has been going downhill since Raging Bull in 1980. I don't think that's true, so I appreciate that films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Bringing Out the Dead made strong showings. But a 40's (or 60's or even 70's) list could be fun.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-1162167099557008462006-10-29T19:11:00.000-05:002006-10-29T19:11:00.000-05:00What a great list.

The other 39 are terrific too... unlike almost every other movie list compiled by many voters, including the AFI 100 greatest (Yankee Doodle Dandy? Wuuuh?) it's a list I can find almost no fault with the selections. Each film is terrific in its own way. <BR/><BR/>As for future polls, if you should ever decide to do them, I'd certainly up for doing an all-time worst list, or maybe even a series of mini best-ofs according to decade. I'm kind of interested in which films from the 30's, 40's and 50's all us Cinevisatramascope readers favor, since this list tends to lead more towards recent films.Dr. Criddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181732644649615771noreply@blogger.com
