When I was going through cardiac rehab I met a wonderful Polish woman who had also recently survived a heart attack. She was a young girl in 1939 when the Nazi’s invaded Poland and she wound up in a concentration camp during the Nazi occupation. She survived though she lost her entire family to the camps.

One day when we were talking she told me that the Pianist is a very good movie, very close to what many had experienced. She then looked at me and said, “Schindler’s List is shit!”

For that reason alone, I cannot put it anywhere on a “top” list.

If the list is to include a Truffaut film (I thought it was English only at first), I’d go with “The 400 Blows” over “Jules and Jim”. And it’s good to see “Chinatown” increasingly recognized as one of the best of all time - I’ve always thought so.

It is my considered opinion that Scent of a Woman is a better movie than Annie Hall. In this opinion I an unquestionably correct.

“Close Encounters of the Third Kind”

Stupid beyond belief. Doesn’t belong on this list.
