Comments:
Your lists are really great, I don't always agree with your choices, but that is why they are your choices and not mine. Great stuff man.
 
I can see from both your 2007 lists that you have THERE WILL BE BLOOD nowhere to be seen! What?! Personally, it jumps right into my top 5 of ALL-TIME, thats how brilliant I felt it was. A true masterpiece, if you can use the word lightly. But overall, great lists, you have a great taste in films, and I love this website.

Oh yea, rock on with Twin Peaks - the greatest show ever!
