    With the exception of some choppy editing at times, I cannot find a single thing that I don't find absolutely perfect in that movie. Completely stunning.

    Based on my own taste, and a quick, silly average system, the top ten that I like the most belongs to D_Davis and Russ. Eternity's is last.

    Take that for what you will.

    Oi vey. I used to have one, but reformulating it to accurately represent my current tastes would be too hard. Suffice it to say that my top 3 remains relatively stable:

    Brazil
    The Thief of Bagdad
    Delicatessen

    How many on the list have you seen? I've only seen 71.
    Only a few more than the ones I listed that I like. Probably ~25 or so.

    I was in awe after watching it the first time. It is a great short film. I've always have been interested if Enrico has done anything else as worthwhile, especially in feature length form. The Old Gun, Le Vieux fusil, looks promising.

    The film always brings a smile to my face. I've seen it more that any other film on my list, except Raiders, and yet it never ceases to entertain. If I could sum up this film in one word, it would be manipulation. Nichols's characters are masters of it, both in this film and in his almost as great Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. One difference between the two films, and what raises The Graduate up to a higher level, is the injection of humor. Martha and George in WAoVW? are just plain mean in their manipulating, whereas Ben brings a youthful awkwardness as he is being manipulated by Mrs. Robinson. You can also bring in the fact that film features brilliant framing, a wonderful soundtrack, great editing and a superb cast (a smoking hot Bancroft and Ross!!), but the main reason why it is number one is that I can put the DVD in my player at anytime, and be completely happy to be watching it. I can see why some might not see it as a perfect film, but in my eyes it is.
