The Lives of Others gets a big thumbs-up from me.
A Soviet film from the late 70’s called Autumn Marathon is worth checking out too.

All in all, a very credible list - I just watched ‘The 400 Blows’ again a few weeks ago. But there is no way that ‘Ran’ should be down at #79. I don’t know if that’s to compensate for Kurosawa’s ‘Seven Samurai’ at #1, but ‘Ran’ belongs in the top 20, at least.

I very much enjoyed Life Is Beautiful.

I would have thought “A Man and a Woman” 1966 would have made this list.

MON ONCLE is a hoot. I’m eventually going to buy the Tati box set from Criterion. He was a true film genius.

Man, good catch. That’s what I hate about these lists.

What? “God Created Women” is not one the list? Sacrilège !!! Back in the late 50’s, in my HS years, that was the best French Film ever!

Where is Jack Frost (1964) in this list? This Russian movie told a pretty good story.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
Just my opinion, Mene. I respect your opinion.
To: csvset
This list is a very mixed bag. Certainly some deserve their listing but others don’t. #57 Solaris I found unwatchable so I didn’t.

7. 8 1/2 (Federico Fellini, 1963)
The only one I ever saw. The rest, never heard of.

I've seen eight of them. How could they have left out Amarcord?

I went back and counted. I’ve seen 21 of them. A Japanese film I don’t see on the list is The Burmese Harp. A soldier deserts his unit at wars end and assumes the guise of a monk.
