There's some real clunker's on that list too: I would even argue with TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD so highly rated. SCHLINDER'S LIST? Sure, it's 'inspiring' if you can make it through three hours of wanton slaughter, which I have been able to do just once. Then one of my personal favorite's COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER way down in the seventies.

Of course I agree with the author that LoTR should be there, and high on the list!

Many of the movies present are deeply depressing, perhaps dramatic and sad, but that's not necessarily my definition of ~inspirational~

OK - I just went back and looked again, and THELMA AND LOUISE, a pointless movie about two particularly stupid and annoying women, is on the list. Enough said.

Schindlers List in the top 10???

I was looking for "SHANE" and was pleasantly surprised to find it.

Should have been in the top 10.


If you've never seen "SHANE" go get it.
