I do agree, though that those lists are so bias as to the year they were made. But try to be open minded and watch some of these....

I am from France and of course I have more French films than you in my own list but I left a lot of North American too... that's the way it is.

I don’t usually post these kind of me-too, MySpace bulletin, meme things, but i kinda like this one. Film critic Jim Emerson says you don’t know movies unless you’ve seen his list of 102 films he pulled from the 20th century [via Elliot Back < via kottke.org]. Supposedly the list is the minimum curriculum to be “somewhat movie-literate.” Somewhat? Though the list was created in 1999 and so only included movies made up until then, i think there are plenty of movies not on the list that are “common cultural currency.” I also think there have been plenty since that are essential. But maybe that’s because i’m illiterate. Let’s see how i score (i’ve seen the bolded ones): [...] [...] Fine, i give.

I think the list is fair. Can you really name a movie produced in the last 7 years that isn't just a derivative work of one or more movies that are already on his list? That's the challenge that ought to be the meme for this data. Based on Jim’s criteria … I think the list is fair.
