Guys, let's agree most film lists are retarded or insufficient in some way, but using a set of them to gain some sort of consensus is a raesonable approach to coverage?

You both make good points, and I don't think you are actually disagreeing on the fundamentals.

Then let's go bowling or whoring or whatever...

yeah, i just figure you gotta make a cut somewhere, and for a project like this, i wanted a definitive number (other than the ny times list of 1000, b/c that's too many), and there's obviously gonna be some people left out. i also wanted a list that i didn't have any control over.

and it's not like i won't see/haven't seen some of the ommissions anyway.

plus, for the article i'm writing, part of the point is to talk about what's missing, etc.

yeah, i doubt we dissagree at all. i really wish 'annie hall' was on the list, but what can you do?
