Dean’s

Now
I must be honest: these are the 19 films out of the 100 that I have only seen
partially or not at all (mostly because they are difficult to find, or because
I'm lazy, or both). Of course, it would
be disingenuous of me to rank these, so I have them in the order they appear on
the original list. So, I guess I have
some great movies ahead of me...what a relief!

- Stalker | Andrei TARKOVSKY | 1979
- Sátántangó | TARR Béla | 1994

Now
for my list of the 100 films that I think should be canonized. Now this...for this, I took the top choices
from each of my MASTER LISTS, and reduced them down to 100 titles. This was much more difficult...and
painful...than I expected it to be.
