I haven't even read the list. Leaving out GONE WITH THE WIND?! Come on. If they handle this list the way they handle their Person of the Year, I'm so not interested.

Re: [MOPO] TIME MAGAZINE'S PICKS OF THE TOP 100 FILMS OF ALL TIME
These kinds of lists are ridiculous on their face, anyway. I suspect that they were trying to put their own stamp on the list. There are some wonderful films on this list and some idiosyncratic choices. K.

Re: [MOPO] TIME MAGAZINE'S PICKS OF THE TOP 100 FILMS OF ALL TIME
Everyone has there own list, I suppose, but comedies were underrepresented, as was David Lean -- how 'bout Bridge on the River Kwai . . and were there no political films, or did I miss it at quick glance? Advise and Consent (which I just saw on the new DVD set) All The President's Men I was glad to see Alexander Mackendrick there with Sweet Smell of Success. Just a few off the top of my head, there'll be more. Henry The Poster Mint
