21sr Century lists — 2 weeks ago

This list simply cannot be taken seriously when there are no films by Bruno Dumont or Shunji Iwai and some of the greatest films: BROKEN WINGS, PROMISES, ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU CHOU, THE LIVES OF OTHERS, PARANOID PARK, PEPPERMINT CANDY are simply ignored and dreck like Before Sunset and Brokeback Mountain are elevated.

Done to 150 — 51 weeks ago

I think I might just keep going, this is really quick when all the new movies have already been added. I’m just reordering.
