According to the list, I gotta call shenannigans:

Jules and Jim was a great flick, Jean Moreau was hot as hell, and it was a well done flick. Truffant was a genius.

The Red Shoes, its syrupy as hell, but, easily the best looking technicolor film ever made and Powell and Pressberger were great directors.


As for the rest, no big problems, I found Forrest Gump to be a simple minded load of fluff.

The one I detest that never made it to the list was Independence Day, chock full of hackneyed dialog, ridiculous plots with monster size holes, incredible gaps of logic, and hamfisted acting, with plenty of explosions to satisfy the hyperactive 12 year olds.

I don't think I ever saw Jules and Jim.

I agree with Independence Day. It was incredibly stupid.

Jules and Jim is over rated!

THE RED SHOES is brilliant and is as watchable today, as it was when it was made; unlike so many other movies.

TITANIC put me to sleep and ANYTHING with DiCaprio isn't worth even trying to watch.

GONE WITH THE WIND is a wonderful movie ( the book IS better though ) and doesn't belong on this list.
