A UK newspaper has published one of those ubiquitous lists of the "50 greatest films" ever made, or at least 50 you must see in this lifetime. Movie lists are funny things for us writers about film. We're always reading them thinking "what's NOT on the list", or criticizing their choices. There are things to criticize on this list for sure (like putting Sexy Beast ABOVE 2001?!) but it's always interesting to see a top 50 list from a non-American (or Canadian) perspective. There certainly are some pretty bold choices, such as Heavenly Creatures, The King of Comedy (Scorsese's only entry!) and Brazil, which the AFI wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
Here's the list.
Here's the list.
