Re: 100 Great Films
I've thought about this recently. Browsing through B&N the other day I came across a book of the 1000 greatest movies of all time. Now, I'm not sure whether or not his criteria are considered among the more educated public to be more or less stringent than other, however, I felt that it was a good starting point of what to consider to be great movies.
I plan on starting again with that book, but I might take my liberty to pass over a few films. In high school I went through a phase where I was convinced that I was destined to be one of the great artists of our time and tried to watch every Kurosawa and Fellini film I could get my hands on. I watched about two, realized how ridiculous they all were, stopped and went back to sitting around watching Bill Murray comedies.

I doubt its on DVD although I know it is available on VHS, but probably not in most independent video stores. I'm sure you can buy it online, but then you're stuck a bunch of money. It came to a theater in Boston once when I was there and probably shows every couple of years in New York if you are in the northeast and can look out for it.
