Out of the Top 10 movies, none were made after 1968... So, before I start bashing this list, I need to educate myself. |
That's a nice list of requisite viewing for film students, but an awful list overall (Vertigo isn't even Hitchcock's best movie, let alone the best overall)... They obviously valued the filmmakers who pioneered the craft far more than they valued the filmmakers who perfected the craft, but they didn't even recognize most of those who perfected the craft... I've seen about 30 or so of the movies on that list and only about a dozen of them stand up to the test of time.
I call shenanigans!!!
