Sparrow too low. I'll say that the inclusion of Zulu threw me for a loop, I guess I don't really get it... Most of these are great though, while a few I don't like (Synecdoche mostly). I should watch the Hawks, the Kondo, the Von Sternberg and of course, the Hung.
ReplyDeleteI really love Zulu. Talked about it on the White People in Africa show, I think.
ReplyDeleteSparrow being too low is my fault, I had it at #139. In retrospect, I could have had all the Johnnie To films on my list 30-50 spots higher.
