51st Greatest American Film
Mon, 12 Jan 2004, 04:04 pmConversation regarding 'The Philadelphia Story' carried on from Billboard Bulletins:
Okay Joe, much more suitable forum for what can possibly be a lengthy discussion...
So, what would you list as your Greatest Films, American or otherwise...
I must admit that I certainly have different expectations of American films than I do of others, and will often dismiss a film not from America as being 'Too American'.
I must admit my list of Greatest films would probably include 'Seven Samurai' (or maybe even 'Yojimbo' or 'Rashomon')
So: question to people give us your top three (to make it easier) on the followinglists:
Greatest Films
Best Films
Most Favourite Films
(And yes, if you think about it, they should all be three different lists...)

Mon, 12 Jan 2004, 04:22 pmHere is my list...
Greatest Films-
Citizen Kane (US)
La Regle du Jour (France)
Battleship Potemkin (Odessa Staircase Massacre) (USSR)
Best Films-
Grand Illusion (France)
Our Hospitality (US)
Singing in the Rain (US)
Most Favourite Films-
2001: A Space Oddysey (UK/US)
Dr Strangelove (UK/US)
The Third Man (UK)
I would have thought that 'Greatest' and 'Best' were the same though.
