Techinally, those aren't American films. other than that, a pretty decent list.

I liked them too much not to include them.

[Tony_Montana]

Pretty good list.

[FilmKing2000]

Indeed, that is an extremely solid list you have there, creekin! Most of those films are amongst the most undesputed and important classics ever conceived, and it's always great to see fans of Lawrence of Arabia. Kudos!

Welcome to the forums.

[creekin111]

Thanks.

I haven't seen too many films this year in the theaters, but 'Grindhouse' definitely makes my honerable mentions list.
