That's where I first saw most of the films on that list I've seen. You're right, Phillip. I do. It's been on my list for some time.

You’re right, Phillip. I do. It’s been on my list for some time.

I've never seen either "Madame de ..." or "Lola Montes." However, if I remember aright, the vote at Eddie on Film was for "favorites," not necessarily for "best," although folks interpreted it with great latitude as usual.

Some films, like Madame De... don't deserve the reputation they have. Lola Montes would be a better choice for this type of film. Where are the great German Expressionist silents or Eisenstein? And yes, where is Satyajit Ray? Not the best list, but not the worst. Some films, like Madame De… don’t deserve the reputation they have. Lola Montes would be a better choice for this type of film.

(No "Life is Beautiful"!) I have a long way to go to catch up on seeing all of these, but a significant number of the titles I haven't seen are waiting in my Netflix queue already.

As I said in the post, I thought it wasn't on DVD yet. The only reason I have seen as many on this list as I have is that through the kind offices of Netflix, about two years ago, I undertook to rectify the sad fact of my youth that I'd missed seeing these films. I grew up in the middle of the golden age of the art house, and was just too stupid to see them. By the way, the link that's now in the post (through the magic of editing) will take you to a page with pictures and blurbs for each flick, as well as other goodies like the 22 also-rans, etc. Evan, where did you get Satantango?
